Summary
Jayce Talis made his fortune with the Hexgates, but is now an indolent playboy, as corrupt and scheming as the rest of Piltover's elite; at least by day. By night he is the Defender of Tomorrow, using secret Hextech weaponry to strike back against the city's oppressors.
The Herald fights for the people of the Undercity every night, using strange rune magic to overwhelm the rampant crime. By day he is just Viktor, a wearied scientist running a medical clinic for those who cannot afford care.
The Defender and Herald are bitter enemies, only restrained by the thin truce between their cities. But when a class war begins to loom once again, the two are forced to work together to save both their respective homes.

Summary
Assassinating an archdevil is a daunting task, even for the heroes of Baldur's Gate. Some inside help from 'the devil they know' would be good, if not for the detail their last meeting ended with said devil dead in his own home.
Or did it?[Within the ball you see Raphael, broken and bloody, dangling above the maw of the archdevil Mephistopheles who is preparing to devour him.]

Summary
Soundwave's banishment to the shadowzone has been bleak, uneventful and unending. He hasn't been able to contact Megatron or the Nemesis. He's low on fuel. If it weren't for the emotion-suppressing protocols he implemented before the war, he would be miserable.
And then one day a dimension-hopping Rodimus falls into the shadowzone and offers him a way out.
“You'll like the Lost Light,” said Rodimus. “Everyone gets a second chance, there. You wanna stay here forever?”

Summary
Author's Note: This one is strange, but it's also of the most beautiful things I've ever written. If you like my other stories you should probably give it a try.
It starts very dark. Basically what happened is I tried to write a hurt-no-comfort one shot about Astarion being dragged out of his year in the crypt, immediately thrown back into hunting while barely functional, being walked home by a concerned half-orc who could tell he wasn't all right, and then delivering that half-orc to Cazador Szarr.
I then felt so sad about the situation I had created I had to write 50K to make it better.
