    Summary

    From a Hobbitkink prompt:

    The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

    The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

    (Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

     

    (Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

    Summary

    “We can make a deal. I get you a job at Family Video, with me and Robin. And I can’t make any promises, but I can try to help you study. I’ll be useless with English but I wasn’t completely horrible at math. I do that, and you just have to stop dealing and look out for the kids when they’re at school.”
    Munson’s eyes narrowed slightly. “You want to help me get a job and help me graduate?”
    “If it helps the kids, yes.”

    ---

    A Pre-Season 4/Season 4 rewrite with Family Video employee Eddie, Mama Bear Steve, Vecna-ed Steve, plenty of angst, more than one sexuality crisis, Wayne adopting every sad teen he finds, and a happy ending for everyone (except Jason and Vecna). Trigger warnings at the start of every chapter.

    Summary

    Defeated and dragged back to the world he called home in chains, Megatron can do no more than endure. A rescue from Cybertron itself is almost impossible; he is forced to face the possibility that the Decepticon cause is lost, and that he will end his days as an Autobot experimental subject.

    Optimus's hero's welcome is shortlived. Deemed too radical and ousted from the position of Magnus on a technicality, he struggles to keep those he cares about safe from the Council's manipulations and Sentinel Prime's ambition, a struggle that will cost him more than he believed possible.

    General Strika contemplates a future without her leader, and finds it bleak. If the General of Destruction is to pull the Decepticon Cause's skidplate out of the scrappile, she's going to have to do a lot of thinking outside the box.

    Ratchet learns the true uses to which his research has been put, and begins to wonder if the Decepticons had the right idea. When the extents to which Optimus has been forced come to light, Ratchet makes the decision that might save them all or damn him further.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    One of the best Optimus/Megatron portrayals, even if you don’t ship them, it’s definitely still worth a read. Also great incorporation of elements from both TFA and IDW’s Transformers run.
