Summary
After a Decepticon spy critically injured Longarm, he was left with barely a stellar-cycle's worth of memories, no chance of getting into the Elite Guard and a place on a lowly Spacebridge repair crew. His only comforts being the one friend he made during Autoboot camp, his kind docbot and long road to recovery in front of him.
But between protecting the Allspark on a fascinating organic world and becoming good friends with his team, Longarm began finding his place again in the universe, he wished for it to remain this way forever.
He should have wished harder.

Summary
Inspired by Haru's headcanon on Empties.
Nearly two years have passed. Two years since the team had been formed. Two years since he had been forced to split the team into two small vessels to make the trek. Two years since Ratchet assured Optimus that he could keep the second vessel’s crew in line and they would converge on Earth.
Two years since he had scoffed at Optimus’s concern.
“I’ll just be a call away.”
Two years since the Decepticon attack separated the twin vessels and no attempts at communication could reveal the location or fate of their companions.
Two years that now stain the new hope with long-held dread. -

“I chose you for a reason, Piero. Don’t disappoint me now.” The Outsider tsks.
Joplin’s pulse is thudding in his ears. His clockwork had lived, but it wasn’t alive.
There is something different about the clockwork man tonight, wasn’t there?
It had a face, Joplin realizes with a start. Not a face that he recognized, but a face nonetheless, dark brown eyes staring up into the nothingness unblinkingly, skin bronze against the shocking white enamel of the augmentations.
“It has to be alive,” Joplin whispers. “A soul. It needs… a soul.”
The Outsider’s face twists into a smile.(In which Corvo Attano is a clockwork man: forged from flesh and metal in equal parts.)

Summary
The squadron has long since decided that there’s something up with this halfling, the one that never turns down an order and moves like a clockwork figurine. It’s a fantastic fighter, though, so no one questions it—not its bizarre patterns of speech, or its extremely fake mustache, or its penchant for shiny bits and bobs from any uniform it can get its hands on. When it ends up in the path of yet another wayward IED, a half-dozen of its Rose Red comrades rush to its side to assess the damage.

"Hello, master."

Imagine the Mandalorian, but IG-11 is the protagonist, Grogu is a baby clone of Finn and/or Galen, and the female lead is a fat butch version of Rey.I desperately adore PROXY and needed to write my version of something like Ebony Moon Rising, of all things. Be warned: While I wouldn't call this a first draft, it's messy. I just needed to get it out there in case anybody else feels the way I do.

Summary
“But-... I’m a synth,” Nick argued. “How is it doing this to me?”
“My guess is because the Hanahaki plant is one based around the emotions of the afflicted,” Dr. Amari said. “So it must care more about that than the person’s physical form.”
“What do you mean, ‘the emotions of the afflicted’?” Nick asked. “What does it do?”
“The Hanahaki plant affects those who are in love.”
Nick’s non-existent heart stopped.
----
Nick finds a strange plant in the wasteland that he's never seen before. Once he touches it, he suddenly starts feeling a lot of pain when he's around Hancock.

The unthinkable happened. Stanley was in the control room, the clock was in his hand and in a swift motion he brought it down-
And the Narrator woke up bound to a chair in a strange, glitching room. He was (for want of a better phrase) missing time, and the only way to get it back was to trust his former project with his mind.
Why the hell would he do that?

Summary
As he stepped into the dimly lit pizzeria, Murr became aware of just how much he looked forward to not having children to take to birthday parties in places like these. Smelly ball pits, sticky carpet, and creepy anthropomorphic animatronic animals were a sight that he didn’t take loads of joy in.
“Anthropomorphic animatronic animals,” He scoffed dryly into his earpiece, “Try saying that five times fast.”
While Joe, Q, and Sal tried to do just that, Murr got situated at the desk, propping his feet up as he idly flipped through the cameras.
“This punishment is going to be a piece of cake, guys,” He assured confidently as he folded his hands behind his head, briefly interrupted by the ringing of a phone.
“Uhhh, hello? Hello, hello?”
Joe’s voice interjected with a mischievous chuckle, “Are you sure about that, Murry?”
“Yeah! It’s only five nights, how hard could it be?” -
