Summary
What Bumblebee had not known was just how much it would hurt for Optimus to make peace with the very mech that had not only killed thousands and mercilessly driven the War across Cybertron for eons, but also crashed Bee's throat in Tyger Pax.

Summary
"Base. Do you read?" she tried again, slowly walking away from the ship, towards the woods. Somewhere in between the trees, hidden in the misty gray fog, Arachnid was lurking, lying in wait for her next victim. And Arcee would make sure that it was not going to be Jack.

Summary
The feeling was already there when it became aware of life for the first time.
It was eternally graceful and wise.
The feeling would still be there long after its awareness of life had faded for the last time.
It was eternally graceful and cruel.
Or: When Primus created a newspark to save the life of its Prime, he did not expect his little puppet to survive its first mission. However, when the sparkling is surprisingly saved through the capable servos of a certain, grumpy medic, the god is not opposed either. Instead, he recognizes this as his opportunity to influence and ultimately end the War on Cybertron through his creation—no matter the cost.
Or, put more crassly: A retelling of Transformers Prime with Bumblebee as Primus’ puppet.

Primus knew, Ratchet would do anything to shield his sparkling from harm. Yet, the War made exceptions for no one, not even at the insistence and threats of grumpy old medics. Thus, sometimes the only thing Ratchet could do was to hold and comfort Bumblebee in the aftermath of disaster.

Angstober 2024 TFP Oneshots by MerlinFromBerlin
Fandom: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime
10 May 2025
Summary
The 10 oneshots I wrote for Angstober 2024.
-> between c. 300 and 1800 words long
-> lots of Dadchet and/or Dadimus Prime
-> mostly Gen: pairings/romance may be mentioned, implied or present in the background but never the focus of the story
-> lots of Bee-centric stuff (because I am nothing if not predictable) but not only
-> quite a lot of stuff where I just allowed myself to have some fun while experimenting with writing, headcanons, style, formatting, and other things.
(- technically it's 9 oneshots and 1 twoshot (the second chapter of which will not be based on an Angstober prompt))
(- technically, I also wrote the first two chapters of A Little Left of Right based on Angstober 2024 prompts, but took it out of this series because it's no longer a one- or even twoshot)Find the full prompt list HERE on tumblr.

Summary
There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide
It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)
The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.
There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)
Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.

Summary
(Rewrite and extension of Febuwhump Day 10: Magic Exhaustion.)
An exploration around the Malto's property goes awry when Bumblebee and the Terrans stumble upon a magical pond that appears to have a singular ability: turn whoever touches it young.
Consequently, the Terrans have to deal with a significantly younger Bumblebee - B-127 - with a heightened sense of self-importance and attitude. Confusion gripping all sides of the fiasco, the group of sparklings desperately search for a way to restore him to the mentor they know, all while trying to navigate their new and terrifying relationship.
Not that B-127's helping make things easier.
(A/N: Next update on November 17th.)

Miko Nakadai Is Not Stupid- English Is Just Her Second Language. by The_Switchable_Waffle

Summary
Contrary to popular belief, Miko Nakadai was not dumb. She wasn’t stupid, and she sure as hell was not oblivious…
Miko had started to notice comments being thrown her way about how smart she was, and it wasn't the good type of comments. In an effort to prove herself, she tackles the upcoming exam. A major crash out occurs back at base in response.
Sorry I needed someone to be an asshole and the winner was Jack :{
A minor character study of sorts if you squint. Miko-centric fic.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.
But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.
Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.
(This story now has a TV Tropes page!)

Summary
"He’d FINALLY convinced Optimus to let him start scouting on his own and this is how he proves himself? Bumblebee rolled for cover beneath a particularly tall rock as one of the two seekers drove a steady line of bullets into the ground. He pressed his servos over his audial horns, doing little to shield him from the droning sound of blaster fire overhead.
Bumblebee’s spark rattled within his chassis. He could still hear the static of his comm active just behind his audials. It’d be oh so easy to call Prime to save him, like Optimus always had. But it was his first solo scouting mission. He’d just gone a little too far, been a little too eager. If he had to get dragged out of this mess Bumblebee knew Optimus would have him stuck in his habsuite until he rusted over. It was just two seekers. He could handle this, Bee assured himself."
Summary: Bumblebee's first solo scouting mission goes sideways, but the eager youngling is too worried to call for the help of his caretakers. That's when he receives the timely help of a new friend... one with a strange history with the Autobots.
