    Summary

    The Hadal Zone begins on the ocean floor and ends at the limit of humanity’s imagination. It occupies the depth between trenches that Earth’s moving tectonic plates have pried open and ends in a place where life was once thought impossible.

    Maybe the Hadal Zone was named after the realm of the unsalvageable dead for good reason, and what floats in a relentless absence of light should be left alone. You should not try to seek it out. You should not try to explain it. You should not yearn for it.

    You shouldn’t have gone swimming alone in a moonlit cove that night, but you did.

    And now he’s seen you.

    And marked you.

    And the water isn’t ever going to leave you alone.

    Summary

    “I’ll protect you,” Optimus joins him, wrapping an arm around Starscream’s thin frame and turning his pointed, delicate face towards his, “to the end.”

    “I won’t let you die for me.” Starscream shakes his head free. “Too many have.”

    Optimus Prime and Starscream find themselves falling in love, despite being on opposite sides of a centuries-long war. When Megatron finally goes too far, Starscream has the rare opportunity to find true healing and love in another and Optimus has the chance to defeat his ancient enemy and fight for the one he loves.

    Summary

    A space bridge accident strands both Optimus Prime and Starscream on an unknown planet, filled with mechanical monsters. Once Starscream decides that immediately stabbing Optimus in the back is a bad idea, the two form an uneasy alliance. Just until they can get off this hostile world.

    But cooperation breeds grudging appreciation (and even more grudging attraction). Each uncovered secret on this mystery world brings them closer to returning to endless war. Can they keep fighting as if nothing has changed? Or will they take the chance for something new?

    Assuming the planet doesn’t deactivate them first.

    Summary

    In Starscream’s honest (and very humble) opinion, this was one of the worst days of his life.

    And that’s against some very steep competition, you know! Millennia upon millennia of having the worst luck known to Cybertron and beyond really lends itself to a never-ending stream of horrible events that all culminate into an ever-present world-weariness and severe paranoia, all channeled into one (unfortunately small) seeker.

    Today in particular, though, seemed to deviate from his usual pattern of bad luck, in the form of an irate Autobot.

    Another tfp Starscream redemption fic, what more could you want? I don't take myself too seriously, so neither should you.

    This is my first fic ever, so formatting advice, critique, and funny insults are encouraged.

    (Title from The Fall by half•alive, which is a song I believe describes Starscream and any potential redemption of his quite well)
