Summary
Soundwave trusts Jazz’s instincts—mostly. And Jazz trusts Prowl’s calculations—generally.
By extension, Soundwave reasons he trusts Prowl—sort of.
He’s not telling Prowl that.
“I…” he hesitates. “Was willing to be persuaded.”

Summary
Jazz turned in his seat, cube at his lips, just in time to spot the white pursuit vehicle steaming and panting in the doorway. “Jazz of Staniz,” the enforcer shouted, “surrender the matrix and come quietly!”
Jazz knocked back his drink. “Well!” he said to the open-mouthed bartender, “time to split!”

Two Cigarettes in the Dark by Baird Crevan (Baird)

Summary
“It’s such a tantalizing case, don’t you think? Political intrigue, cults-” curious behavior from enigmatic seekers, “-murder, secret messages- this has your name written all over it!”
Years ago, Vos fell to Praxus in a conflict that nearly resulted in planetary war. The entire Vosian royal family was killed, but rumors persist to this day that a Prince of Vos still lives. None of that really matters to Detective Jazz, though, except that a body just showed up in his territory with some curious words scrawled on the wall behind the corpse. And for some reason, his secretary Starscream is acting more surly than usual.
Written for the TF Big Bang 2022 event with art from Euca and Akapen ;)

The Cop and the Cryptid by ckret2

Summary
Prowl: the rational skeptic with a history in crime scene investigation. Mesothulas: the wide-eyed believer who's mastered—or at least dabbled in—every field of science under the sun. Together, they're Iacon's leading paranormal investigators. ... With a few twists.
Twist #1: Both are stone cold skeptics, with Mesothulas only playing the believer for their clients—allowing them to become wildly successful as paranormal debunkers. Twist #2: They don't quite disbelieve in everything; they both know more than they'd let on about the Iaconian Spindleback, a local cryptid with an eight-legged alt-mode. Twist #3: They're about to learn that there are more true paranormal things on Cybertron than just the Spindleback.

Summary
“Who’s why?” Ultra Magnus asked back, equally as puzzled as the Twins acted to be.
“Who’s who.” Sunstreaker said quite resolutely, jabbing a digit at his brother, “He’s Why.”
Ultra Magnus looked completely baffled, turning from the golden frontliner to the red one. “You’re who?”
“Why!” Sideswipe chirped up, grinning with such exuberance, seemingly for no reason other than to grate on the new SiC’s nerves.
Ultra Magnus had no such experience with him. The taller semi-trucks optics had brightened considerably in frustration. “Because!”
“Yes?” Sunstreaker responded, with a glare full of contempt.

Happyish ending between Prowl and Rattrap. I tend to like where the fans have taken the IDW storyline much more than the ‘everyone’s a jerk’ direction IDW went; this is no exception.

Bookmarker's Notes
A murder mystery and a corrupt government, with a rising revolution. Characters with depth. Very compelling. Prowl is a warframe in this fic, and Megatron is a character with a big part in the fic.
