Summary
Jason, fresh from the grave, calls Dick's name instead of Bruce's. His brother needs him, and he needs his brother, and it would take a long, arduous journey to finally get back to him.
Breaking into Dick's apartment is startlingly easy, and he finds himself staring at a breakfast for two, and a tired remark from Dick:
“C’mon, Jay, just sit and eat. I made fried rice just for you…”
or: Jason goes through Hell (not literally) to get back to Dick; Dick is off his meds

Summary
There exists mecha who were Forged from the All Spark with something more to them; abilities that modern science cannot explain. Outliers. They were ostracized and outcasted for the crime of being strange- not being the perfect cog for the great machine.
And that idea has persisted 'til this day.
Ratchet has one such ability- an ability that can change the tides of the war.
But at what cost?
---
When the Decepticons discover an outlier- who surely should've been on their side, what to do except make him theirs?

Jason knew what drugs looked like, knew them like the back of his hand, grew up around them, grew up fighting them for his mom because she wasn't able to and dad wasn't around to fight for either of them.
He just never thought he'd have to fight for Dick too

Summary
The High Lords have proved time and time again that they are physically unable to die. Assassinations, accidents, illness, challenge, disaster; none of it ever mattered. They were as constant and overbearing as time, they loomed over the planet, over every being like a storm looms over the horizon. Impending and inevitable.
The High Lords have been present in the lives of even the oldest bots Megatronus knew.

“Truly, I don’t know what I’d do without you, dear Orion… you go through much strife to keep us alive. Your service will forever be appreciated. And I know you will keep serving us faithfully, as all children of Primus must do. Have faith, my coveted.”
“May Primus light your way.”
Orion shuddered and retched. The door slammed shut.
Orion wondered how Primus would light his way if he no longer knew light.

When rumor is spread of the location of an item that grants the High Lords their immortality, revolutionary upstart, Megatronus, takes it upon himself to locate the item. Megatronus travels across a barren Cybertron, but what he finds is not an item. He finds an energon-soaked mech.

Summary
Being alone was worse than missing food. Tommy’s memories are clouded, but he remembers suffering through malnutrition many times. He knew he once held his bones through his skin and could feel the flesh of his cheeks deflate and sag.
He didn’t like remembering how he was atrophied and uncared for, but it let him know that he could handle punishment. Someone from his past had punished him the same way before he remembered. Though, he wasn’t entirely sure who did it. He frowned. They couldn’t have been good because they left, and Jack and Niki didn’t. That made them his friends. Right?
Right?
“Tommy?”
They were his friends, right?
“Tommy…?”
They have to be. They have to be his friends, right?
“Tommy!”
His head whipped to the side. His cheek burned.
Tommy would accept love from anybody, even from his abusers, even from his murderers. Dream knows this and takes advantage while no one can stop him. Can Tommy relearn to be human and reconcile with those who hurt him?
Or: Dream's an asshole, Tommy is traumatized and blind, and Wilbur, Jack, and Niki try their best.
[Rewrite of Tommyinnit's Explanation for Low Expectations is Trauma, under a different name]

These Hands Are Soaked In Blood (But They Cradled Me, Yes?) by GG_Ladybug
Fandoms: Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon)
13 May 2024
Tags
Summary
None of the residents, nor their last minute cannibal reinforcements, truly knew what to expect from the looming extermination. The most likely outcome, unfortunately, was a long list of casualties that might even include the hotel's core residents.
One of their own being kidnapped by heavenly forces, however, was an outcome they failed to consider. To the point that an unauthorised absence was almost entirely unnoticed. By time the next extermination rolls around, the residents watch as Alastor himself is the subject of a thrilling television interview as Heaven’s first redeemed sinner.
On a surface level, it’s everything they’ve ever wanted. But it’s clearly the exact opposite. (Alastor just wants to go home, wherever that is.)
