    Summary

    Dorothy Gale has found herself in a strange new world, with a target on her head and some very odd new friends.

    The journey to the Emerald City is long and fraught, and nothing is what it seems.

    This story explores Act II of Wicked, primarily from the POV of the Scarecrow

    (I am making an effort to avoid spoilers in the summary for people just scrolling through. There's a more detailed summary in the Author Notes)

    EDIT--Under slight revisions! Nothing major, and not really anything pulling from the new movie, but...well, I wrote this VERY quickly, and I feel it can be improved slightly.

    Summary

    Ratchet reset his vox. “I do not wish to harm you. What is your faction?”
    The flier looked taken aback for a second but settled back into apprehensiveness quickly. “Faction? We do not associate with any vigilante group or pirating crew.”
    It was Ratchet’s turn to be taken aback. “No, I meant- Autobot or Decepticon? Do you ally with either of them? Or are you neutrals avoiding the war?”
    “War?” The flier’s optics widened more and a weakly surprised noise came from behind them (him, probably, if going off of vocal inflection). “What war? When?”
    Ratchet frowned. “The civil war we’ve been fighting for four thousand years. How are you on Earth and unaware of this?”
    “Four thousand… impossible. Machina was destroyed one thousand years ago.”
    “Machina? ...I am from Cybertron. Have you heard of such a planet?”
    “No.” The flier cocked his helm. “...I think there has been a misunderstanding. You do not look like a Metal Cardbot.”
    “I most certainly am not that.”
    ------
    After a shoddy teleportation attempt, the Metal Cardbots find themselves scattered, cut off from their team, and stranded in unfamiliar places.
    The Autobots notice.

    Summary

    Having met his end at the muzzle of an ion blaster in the hands of Optimus Prime, Megatron had long accepted it as the inevitable conclusion to both his reign and the war. What he did not expect was for the Primes themselves to take pity— granting the warlord one final chance to atone for his sins.

    He awakens in a frame he never thought he’d inhabit again.

    The cogless miner who once knew nothing of tyranny or power— D-16.

    Now burdened with memory and fractured identity, the question looms: will D-16 rise once more as the infamous Megatron, or will he bury the Decepticon warlord for good?

    TL;DR: The Transformers One movie, but D-16 remembers far more than he should. The knowledge alters him— twisting his path, deepening his regrets, and transforming his bond with Orion Pax into something quite far from just platonic.

    Summary

    WHAT IF Airachnid didn't kill Breakdown but mortally wounded him instead and he was found by the Autobots who patched him up with the hopes that he might switch sides (He does).

    This is my first time posting on AO3 as well as my first time writing fan fiction so apologies in advance if I make some horrible mistake!😅

    Summary

    Starscream has been found in critical condition after a fight with Megatron. It will be a very long road to recovery.

    How will he change under the Autobots care? How will the Autobots change with one of their worst enemies stuck in their medbay? How will the Deceptions manage without their Second in Command?

    Change is inevitable. Whether positive or negative, only time will tell.

    12/Sep/25 small update! I'm editing past chapters to fix my usage of "Raph" instead of Raf (sorry) and fix some terminology mistakes (fixing head to be helm and whatnot where I've made mistakes) Currently up to chapter 19

    Also, I've cemented a head cannon (first mentioned in the end notes of chapter 23) that Starscream uses Cybertronian time measurements, so I've made some small edits here and there to keep things consistent! Time keys can be found on multiple chapters from before I started implementing this as a part of the story, but I've added one to chapter 3!

    As this is my first fic, I have tried my best not to outright re-write things as I like seeing how far I've come :)
