    Summary

    Everyone believes Tarn is Megatron’s most loyal Hound, a devoted Decepticon who worships the Warlord’s every command with terrifying obedience. They see the mask, the violence, the reputation, and assume his loyalty belongs to Megatron alone.

    But the DJD knows the truth.

    Tarn’s fascination has never truly been with Megatron. His devotion, his silence, his carefully controlled obsession, all of it belongs to someone else entirely: Starscream, Megatron’s brilliant, dangerous, impossible Second-in-Command.

    Tarn plays the role expected of him because it gives him a reason to remain close to the Nemesis. Close enough to hear Starscream’s voice. Close enough to catch a glimpse of tricolor wings in the corridors. Close enough to hope that, one day, the Seeker might look at him and see more than Megatron’s ''loyal'' monster.

    And the DJD, loyal to their leader above all, keep his secret because they are not stupid to said it aloud the true.

    Summary

    Starscream trusted his Trine.

    He trusted them more than he trusted Megatron, more than he trusted the war, more than he trusted the fragile, flickering hope he still carried in his spark. Skywarp and Thundercracker were supposed to be his constants—his sky, his wings, his home.

    They were not.

    One moment of weakness. One confession. One truth shared in quiet, trembling vulnerability—and they handed it all to Megatron like an offering.

    Starscream doesn’t remember when his world truly shattered. Perhaps it was when Megatron looked at him differently. Perhaps it was when the whispers began. Or perhaps it was when he realized that the only ones he had ever trusted had never been his at all.

    So Starscream disappears.

    Megatron calls him a coward. A traitor. Says he ran.

    But the truth is far uglier.

    Because Starscream is not alone.

    And the two fragile, impossible miracles at his side will do anything to keep him safe.

    Even if it means kneeling before the monster who broke him.

    Summary

    There their hearts went again, clenching so hard it made them want to cry out.

    Because why did Mom never say this to them? Why did it have to be someone who could never be more important to them than a teacher?

    Why couldn’t Grace be their mom?

    Summary

    Megatron captures the Autobots’ newly ascended Prime and takes him as conjunx bellum (war bride) to end the war. He expects defiance. Resentment. A fragile peace balanced on the edge of a blade.

    He doesn’t expect trust.
    He doesn’t expect love.
    And he definitely doesn’t expect the gods to take notice.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”
