Fandom: TEEN WOLF (TV)
Pairing: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski (pre-slash)
Length: ~ 4672 words
Author on LJ: ukefied
Author Website: writing on AO3
Why this must be read: It's Friday, so how about something to make you laugh? This story is kind of a crossover, but it's not necessary to know anything about Transformers to enjoy the story because Stiles and Derek don't know anything about them either. However, the boys are forced to figure things out pretty fast when Stiles's Jeep appears to have developed a mind of its own.

It was the summary (the cut-tag text) that really got me on this one because, honestly, this is totally Stiles and Derek. The excerpt will give you a clear idea of what to expect, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

( 'Come on, let’s go. You can’t fight a twenty-foot tall robot!' And then Derek just gives him this look, like he could, and it sends Stiles into a homicidal rage. )

Why this must be read: this one is Mikaela’s story. And how she discoveres the Autobots and her own destiny.

"I just don't wanna get in anybody's way, or anything," she tried explaining, and this time, it was Ratchet who answered.

"If you get in my way, you'll know it," he said, without taking his eyes from his work. "Go ahead and talk – it'll keep him from pestering me." So he said, then muttered something that sounded rude even to her. Bumblebee's eyes glowed a little more brightly.

"Ok. Thanks." I guess, Mikaela added silently. She glanced up at Bumblebee once more and pursed her lips slightly, thinking furiously. You're, like, two steps away from an alien – there's got to be a million things to talk about, so think of something! But for some reason, she was drawing a blank.

Fortunately, Bumblebee saved her. "It would hurt," he said, returning to her original question, "but my system shut down those receptor-circuits some time ago."

All in the Family by snarechan (T)

Why this must be read: It’s a conversation Judy had with Optimus after the battle in Egypt and we learn a lot about them both in this story :)

"Please, don't despair on my behalf. It happened a long time ago," he said, but she wouldn't hear of it.

"I'll damn well despair if I want to!" Judy yelled, blowing her nose loudly into the rag. "It's…it's so not fair. What right does that creep have, huh?"

Now that she pondered it, maybe the information Optimus Prime's had offered explained a lot. If only that Megatron'd had a parental figure in his life, perhaps he would have turned out differently. The war might not have happened and no one would have died. Then again…

"I bet if your dad-mentor-person was here, he'd be awfully proud of you," Judy felt compelled to announce. She blew her nose into the rag again and Ron stirred for the first time, rolling over in his sleep. "Dropping dead aside, you've done pretty well for yourself."

Optimus Prime gave her the most indescribable look, before he nodded in gratitude.

Better Than A Backward Flushing Toilet by Lady_FoxFire (T)

Fandom: TRANSFORMERS/STARGATE SG-1
Pairing: canon
Length: 13,012 words
Author on LJ: not known

Why this must be read: what if SG-1 team met the Autobots?
Take one group of space explorer-alien fighters mix with another group of alien fighter. Stir well and then sit back and wait.

"Yeap, I'm a chick magnet," Sam said smugly. "All the women in my life either want to feed me or have me read them a story."

"That’s better than what Daniel attracts," Jack commented. "His either want to marry him or kill him."

Daniel turned and gave Jack a disgusted look. "I'm not that bad," he countered.

"Oh really," Jack drawled. "Hathor. Osiris."

"Anise and Kynthia," Daniel snapped back.

"Like I would touch Anise with a 20 foot pole," Jack replied with a snort. "And Kynthia was a sweet kid in an adult body but she was still a kid. Ke’ra. Sarah."

Still perched on Optimus' knee, Sam leaned towards Carter and Teal'c and in a stage whisper said, "Are they… you know… together."

Kinship & The Tie That Binds by botosphere (T)

2013-03-30T22:43:00Z

Posted by: nickygabriel

Fandom: TRANSFORMERS
Pairing: Sam/Mikaela (main), +various others
Length: long
Author on LJ: not known
Author Website: HERE
Why this must be read: because it’s an entire universe created ‘from scratch’, completing the two movies and explaining everything what needs an explanation. This story focuses on the bond that Sam shares with Optimus and how it influences their lives and fate.

"When's the last time you were able to grieve – really grieve – as a clan?"

He looked down, radiating a sense of defeat.

"I'd say the need will be great tonight. If we're going to do this, we need to do it right and in ways that will mean something for all of you. Knowing…knowing that you're not all going to rust to death might be comforting for them, since the Matrix is…isn't going to work every time."

"You are right, brother." He glanced once at Bumblebee and transformed – going to talk to Lennox.

Bumblebee reached down, offering me his hand, and I climbed on. He held me close to his chassis, and I realized researching human funeral traditions probably reminded him I wouldn't live forever, either. "I'm sorry," I mumbled.

"Hush now," he quoted, then "I'm glad you're here with me, Sam."

Fandom: TRANSFORMERS
Pairing: Will Lennox/Sarah Lennox, Annabelle, Ironhide/(Ratchet, mentioned)
Length: short
Author on LJ: quidamling
Author Website: HERE
Why this must be read: It’s just a short , bitter-sweet story, that makes you happy and sad at the same time. It’s not easy to be a soldier, even if you are made of metal, but it’s also not easy to be a mate of a solder.

“You’ve put a lot of thought into your own mortality, Lennox,” he rumbled tightly.

The Ranger took a deep breath, leaning into the spot on Ironhide’s leg that Sarah had recently vacated. “It comes with the job, mech.” He scratched a little too idly at his ear, but Ironhide could sense the simmering tang of adrenaline and stress hormones increasing around Will throughout the conversation. “I know the more bars on my shoulder the better my odds, and we’ve not lost men like in World War II in decades. But fighting giant aliens is not safe by any means. I’m delusional if I pretend every mission’s going to go smooth.”

“If it comes to that, I will ensure they are safe in your stead,” Ironhide murmured.

Hallo!
My name is Nicky and I will be driving the van for Transformers in March :)
I admit that I’m familiar with only one continuity: Bay Movies, and the fandom overview has already been done here: Click!
If you would like to meet the movie characters, there are three picspams @ my LJ (picture heavy + spoilers):
Transformers
Revenge of the Fallen
Dark of the Moon

I chose this one, because it’s perfect. We can see the two warriors in unusually peaceful moment (for them) and the coloring, lighting and atmosphere makes this moment incredibly special. You can just feel how close to each other they are and why their trust makes them such a wonderful team.

Author on LJ: katsukofic

Why this must be read:

Some years back, a "28" meme started up in the TF fandom, and was the direct source of a LOT of really excellent short fics. Each part does not have to be connected to the previous one, and in typical TF multiverse madness, they don't have to be in the same continuity either... This one is the Soundwave/Starscream collection. I especially love #5 Naughty, #9 Dancing, #12 Caring, #15 Exhausted, #16 Playing with Kids--well, you get the idea. Each "chapter" pretty much stands alone, some tie into each other, some refer to other work by the same author, but each short fic is worth a read.

This story takes five stream-of-consciousness POVs and builds a nuanced picture of how the characters (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Sam, Mikaella and Miles) deal. Each section shows the weaknesses and strengths of these characters in a way I have not seen before. The way each section segues into the next is absolutely seamless and draws you further in.

For such a short story, Vaeru packs a heck of a punch! Early in the war, Jazz is captured, tortured, and interrogated. The description of what he goes through is chilling, and the way it is written only increases the impact. It also has one of my absolute FAVORITE ending lines ever.

This story explores the aftermath and possible consequences of the events in the Bayverse movies. Ironhide's care for a soldier in arms, how Will Lennox deals, how they make the world bend to accommodate the situation but still pay the piper...

It's a fascinating look at the humans from the Autobot perspective, and the characters leap off the page and bash you around the head. Utterly worth the reading time. (And if you like it, there is a hefty series that follow

Hate the Dark by NKFloofiepoof (NC-17)

Fandom: TRANSFORMERS
TF Continuity: G1/G2
Pairing: Optimus Prime/Starscream
Length: 44,007 words
Author on LJ: deceptikitty
Author website: on FF.Net
Why this must be read:

It's almost October, so a creepy and rather horrifying tale was definitely on the list! It's a post-TFTM AU, where Optimus Prime and Starscream are marooned on the 'Pitch Black' planet. You know the one: always night, monters that eat everything and are impossible to kill?

Both Transformers have some terrible injuries, and there is no fuel that is not also poisoning them. From the claustrophobic setting, the at times rambling POV, the desperate circumstances, the way Prime is trying to maintain his sense of self (and failing, failing...), and the (im)possibility of rescue--this is not light read, but it is a rewarding one.

WARNING: I don't know how to classify the almost!non-con, but I thought I should warn that there is some fuck-or-die hate-ish sex here.

This is a nice, meaty fic to explore the beginnings of the war on Cybertron. The story puts a spotlight on the twins Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, taking bits of canon and mixing some plotting to create a masterpiece of how two very damaged, desperate civilians became among the most feared fighters in the Autobots.

Author on LJ: astolat
Author website: fanfic by astolat
Why this must be read:

In a fandom where one of the main characters is the car, it seemed inevitable that Supernatural would be crossed with Transformers. We're just really lucky that one of them was written by astolat, whose authorial cred can make me read anything. I mean, it's astolat--how can you not give this story a try?

This is absolute GOLD. Dean and Sam are driving past when the highway battle of the 2007 movie blows past them, and shenanigans occur. It is written from the Supernatural point of view, so even minimal exposure to the movie is enough to enjoy the story. The ultra-cheese cliche title gives it that extra bonus oopmh of awesome.

Why this must be read:

As twins, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are known to have a 'split spark, which has led to a plethora of fic where they are a two-for-one deal. This story takes it a step further, where the twins have bonded with Ratchet, and what follows when the worst has happened.

I cannot recommend this short highly enough. Tissue warning ahoy!

One thing that we can't really comprehend is that the Transformers are functionally immortal. They were around millions of years ago, and (failing deactivation in battle) will likely be around when the Earth is dust. The inevitable tragedy of loss is the centerpiece of this story, and it drives a spike through the heart.

Prowl/Jazz is one of the major OTPs in TF fandom. They're both black and white! They work together! They're the 2IC and 3IC of Autobot Command! One is an extroverted Special Ops bot, and the other is an introverted tactical bot! It is a match made in slasher heaven.

This one, however, takes the opposite tack. This turns all the OTP tropes on its side, with unbelievably HOT hate!sex as a chaser.

If you visit her FF.Net page, though, you will find that most every Protectobot snippet there is part of the same story-universe. I will bet you a virtual cupcake that, having read one, you will track down the protectobots tag on her LJ from sheer desperation to get moar fic.
