Summary
Orion Pax is now in Vos, trying his very best not to get maimed and/or assassinated during his visit while meeting up with his mate-to-be Prince Star—oh, what was that? No one can get ahold of Starscream long enough to facilitate a meeting? And his trine is helping him play keep-away with the royals of both polities?
Well, that sounds nice.

Summary
In Starscream’s honest (and very humble) opinion, this was one of the worst days of his life.
And that’s against some very steep competition, you know! Millennia upon millennia of having the worst luck known to Cybertron and beyond really lends itself to a never-ending stream of horrible events that all culminate into an ever-present world-weariness and severe paranoia, all channeled into one (unfortunately small) seeker.
Today in particular, though, seemed to deviate from his usual pattern of bad luck, in the form of an irate Autobot.

Another tfp Starscream redemption fic, what more could you want? I don't take myself too seriously, so neither should you.
This is my first fic ever, so formatting advice, critique, and funny insults are encouraged.
(Title from The Fall by half•alive, which is a song I believe describes Starscream and any potential redemption of his quite well)

Summary
Starscream of Vos, entirely against his will, has been promoted to the crown prince and is next in line to become the Winglord after many an unfortunate circumstances had resulted in the rest of Lord Ozone’s next-of-kin to be rendered ineligible for the throne.
With any hope of a career in the sciences thoroughly dashed, Starscream is only further incensed by the revelation that, along with a title he never wanted, he is also expected to fix the long-simmering tensions between Vos and Iacon in the only method they’ve left to try: Political bonding.
Hopefully Starscream's trine can convince him to abstain from murdering his elected suitor long enough to avoid a planet-wide war.

Summary
Starscream has finally taken a leap of faith and became the most famous turncoat the Decepticons ever had, joining the Autobots in every aspect besides name, and—generally, vaguely, by a very tiny margin borne only of having to choose between two horrible options and one deadly one—is doing alright.
Unfortunately, his decision brought with it a few unexpected(-ish) consequences; both internal and external.

Summary
Starscream's life gets turned upside down when he almost dies in what was supposed to be a normal boarder patrol. Now he has to deal with—*eugh*—the Autobots, and their annoying and endless wealth of kindness. Honestly, was this an army or a hugbox?

Summary
There are reasons why Seekers Trine up in the first place.
The main one is that a seeker's wing are vitally important to their survival, need intense maintenance, and can't be effectively worked on by their own bearer. Especially on the backside.
Starscream might have been able to fool his own Trine as he slowly drifted away from them.
And he might have managed to keep his wings and back in good shape while doing that through his inventively.But when a rust-inviting wear develops in his wing hinges, other Seekers noticed.
That was only the start, though.
OR:
Seekers Trine for many, many reasons.And Starscream might have decided that he was above it all, but he really, really isn't.
Seekers Trine for reasons.
And Skywarp and Thundercracker need to remind Starscream (and themselves) what these reasons are.

Summary
“You got a pen?”
Tim blinked owlishly before scrambling to grab a pen from his book bag, as if terrified Jason would change his mind in the 6 seconds he took to search. He held it out to Jason who snatched it right out of his hands.
“If we do this, we’re doing it right. You got that, Richie?" Jason snarled. "When I sign this you’re my kid!”
“I don’t do things in half measures. I’m gonna be there for every PTA meeting, every club invite, every fucking carpool you understand? I don’t need some white bread, pearl clutching bitch telling me I’m a shitty Guardian just ‘cause I didn’t ask for this.”

The only thing worse than crawling out of your own grave to find your father had replaced you with the first black haired, blue eyed preteen he could find, is said replacement begging you to sign emergency foster papers... except maybe you signing said papers and having to learn how to be a parent on the fly... Fuck it, he couldn't do any worse than Bruce Wayne.

Summary
A space bridge accident strands both Optimus Prime and Starscream on an unknown planet, filled with mechanical monsters. Once Starscream decides that immediately stabbing Optimus in the back is a bad idea, the two form an uneasy alliance. Just until they can get off this hostile world.
But cooperation breeds grudging appreciation (and even more grudging attraction). Each uncovered secret on this mystery world brings them closer to returning to endless war. Can they keep fighting as if nothing has changed? Or will they take the chance for something new?
Assuming the planet doesn’t deactivate them first.
