    Summary

    While foraging for supplies in a recently abandoned battlefield, the Scavengers make a shocking discovery: they find a survivor! Misfire pulls a very damaged, very angry Deadlock from the rubble. Still in denial about the loss of his squad, Krok is determined to save the wounded bot, no matter how much he growls at them.

    The first several chapters are basically providing the backstory for their happy reunion on the Lost Light, many years later!

    Summary

    “The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”

    “Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”

    Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.

    “You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”

    “You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.

    “No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”

    Jason bluescreened.

     

    (Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)

    Summary

    It took a few minutes for Evan to muster up the courage, but he had no reason to think Gregory would react poorly. Unless this was some elaborate trap…

    But if it wasn’t… if Gregory’s simple kindness was genuine…

    “I’m Evan,” he finally whispered, sniffling.

    (Or, Evan Afton is bullied and lonely and really didn't expect the new kid to change that. Gregory lives to defy expectations. And to punch people. He lives for that, too.)

    Summary

    Bluestreak is lonely. It's hard, being one of the only Praxians left. His adoptive creators try their best to be with him, but Jazz and Prowl are busy running the war, and the Decepticons aren't making it any easier.

    But then, while recovering from some injuries, he gets a strange--and wonderful--message that another Praxian wants to exchange data-letters with him! Finally, he can have a steady friend and someone that will understand what it's like to have lost you entire home.

    And his new penpal totally isn't Thundercracker, who isn't also painfully lonely and feeling particularly doubtful about the Decepticon cause. No, no, it's not Thundercracker, because that would be ridiculous. Right?
