Summary
Written for a Transformers "fanthology" and also is a tie-in to the Autosignet Cycle original continuity we have been writing - along with a bit of IDW1, Cyberverse, and Alternity. A story about transformation in many senses (surprise), including a quest for the Transformation Matrix … inside of one of the most powerful creatures transformers have ever encountered. What will the errant people on the journey realize, and will it be enough to put into practice to succeed?

Summary
A blast to the past before the Anti-Functionist War- archivist Prowl is trying to sort out his life, hasn't been so easy for him after an awful job that has left him very sensitive to the disquiet of society as the very subtly not so Golden Age reaches an end. His old friends Arcee and Aileron who unintentionally helped spark his journey are visiting- and he is beside himself. What does it all mean to him, to them, to carry on as they do, to transform?
In short, we the author finally give some answers with words to the slice of life actions you saw play out in Day of Multiflame- answers very much in context with Sparkflung Trust.

Summary
Will update ship tags as we finish chapters and upload them! There will be more in here :3 Right now the intention is for this fic to have 13 chapters. Typically each chapter will be a different character or set of characters narrating! Chapters 3 and 4 are the only planned exceptions at the moment.
At long last, The vast majority of transformers, residing in the Planetwell Polity Alliance, are about to rejoin the largest galactic alliance, which the PPA originally helped create and was expelled from after the Unicron invasion and the subsequent thousands year long war with Functionist usurpers. But, all is not well- threats loom from all corners upon the Autobot revolution: Decepticons, Unicronists, Functionists, and deep existential problems with past, present, and future will try people from all walks of life fighting for intergenerational hope and love.
Nonetheless, something new and wonderful yet old and familiar is afoot- efforts by trillions and their many subalterns are not vain: the power and practice of iterative story.

Summary
You, a trans/expansive transformer, denizen of Caminus, have been friends with Arcee for a decade, going to aesthetics meetings together, sparring with each other... and now you're on your second date after having asked her out. There's a lot to this old bot, firm and compassionate, full of life and so tired at the same time, trusting each other with intimacy will come with a lot of transformations for everyone involved. Do you want to get to know her more, and be there for her, as she fictionally does for folks like us and autonomy itself, and trying to find some love and friendship while she's at it?
This is fic is the most we've pushed the boundary of alien sensual but not sexual. So uh, bear in mind. This will probably appeal to sword lesbians despite not having a lot of sword fighting (If people want that we'll write it no really).
This story wouldn't possible w/o multiple loving communities & friends who helped us through other things or for this and what's in it. It's our 1st attempt at an x-reader fic, want to do more, and this was both the easiest starting point for us and a personally intense one to write. Ty to blurrito (thunderin_brainstorm) (Ao3) for encouraging us so much to write one!

AUTOBOT DECLARATIONS OF HOPE AMIDST WAR by Pluralsword

Summary
This is a 5k word piece we wrote for the CYBERTRON WANTS YOU! zine, a propaganda zine! Our piece is the reflections of various Autobots across species on the current state of the Great War and what to do about it and the issue of the violence therein itself, after Anode and Lug make a crucial difference on Omnitron. (for those who read our fanfic, if you're wondering, yes this is a semi parallel to things we have planned for the original continuity portion of the Autosignet Cycle).
It was an honor to write for this, and a great deal of fun to work with people on it, fantastic pieces and comradery. Give it a look! :3
And yes our piece was very trans and expansive. We think this doesn't surprise anybody. XD But the pulls for who's talking about the expansiveness besides people we've already written fanfic for might.
For people wondering what's going on with the compound noun aesthetics in this piece, they are slowly being revealed in the orig cont stuff, such as in Day of Multiflame (the song the Mistress of Flame paraphrases is from there). If you want more answers, please feel free to message us or leave an ask! :3 There's more we wanted to write than what we got in, the 5k word limit was a nice challenge.

Duel of Journeys: Samus vs. Arcee by Pluralsword

Summary
Cybertron teeters on the brink of civil war or a coup. The more centrist Autobots led by Sentinel Prime trying to hold the status quo are watching it unravel before their optics, while more radical Autobots such as Nautica and Arcee seek to push for a true autonomous revolution, in opposition to the imperial Decepticon rise. Arcee in particular continues to tear across the galaxy as if the Anti-Functionist War hadn't ended, seeking out stragglers, catching the attention of the larger Galactic Federation that Cybertron, Caminus, and Earth are all part of. Earth does not want to see another transformers originated war, nor does the Galactic Federation, a body Earth is equally wary of given the various plots foiled by the legendary bounty hunter Samus Aran. On recommendation to Sentinel Prime, Samus is hired for a job... to bring in Arcee and her family to stand trial, and the bilateral government meeting where Samus is given her OpFor info by Prowl proves to be quite the argument.
Samus, worried about maintaining a delicate peace, also seeks the truth behind all this, suspicious of the motives at hand. And so opens the first chapter of what will lead to an explosive and dire confrontation and revelations...Series

Summary
You are a chubby flyer hacker and strategist who has been at Slipstream's side for a portion of the Great War between the Decepticons and Autobots, working to strengthen the Seeker faction of the Decepticons, including to stand against the encroaching brutality of the Decepticon Justice Division whose true motives you know... since you are an Autobot spy.
Slipstream has just figured that out and taken the matter and your hands into her own to get to the bottom of it- you do your best to play your cards fairly and honestly, since you've taken a liking to them and felt bad about not having been able to try and tell her the truth sooner... you put your fate on the line for the future, for autonomy, and for them.
This works as a standalone chapter, but we eventually intend to add more to it someday.

Summary
After the events of Season 1 Ep 19 "A Stygi Situation", Grimlock and Jawbreaker are in the forest when Grim gets a call from his close friend and old revolutionary war pal, Arcee, who's checking on him & offering to hang out beyond the notice of GHOST to help with his healing process, as Grimlock had done for her twice in the past. Grimlock happily agrees, & Jawbreaker goes along as well. In the Autobot's hideaway, Arcee and Grimlock detail to Jawbreaker some of the depths of peaceful transformer history & society that overlap & differ from humanity, the hierarchy that disrupted that legacy, and the Autobot rise after. Arcee also gives him some tools to embrace his strength to be gentle.
As a neurodiverse trans system w/ some gal gender stuff and; a 2nd generation immigrant background who navigated anger, rage, and pain over otherness and alienation, it was a bit saddening back when there was just S1 to see how awkward the guy-gal dynamic was in S1 EP19 and that Arcee wasn't present with her own insight on rage as a tool with reason & ethos. So we wrote this, Chapter 2 & 3 will be about Arcee, Nova Storm, and Skywarp navigating traumas from episodes after, and starting to seek closure.
