#spark’s… not scribbles

[sparkp18]

Long ask is long. I haven't read many IDW fics, but I love a good story. Hope you can find a few in here to enjoy <3

Gen Fics:

I Come Not to Praise Caesar by DesdemonaKaylose, jabberish [39.3k] - Jazz & Optimus - Comedy of errors that leads to friendship. I love this one so much.

Crash Site by Slyboots [3.8k] and Neon Down the Water Table by cassette [24.1k] - pre-TFP June & Jack Darby, KOBD - There's something odd about Jasper, NV. Here be holoforms!

CSI: Ark by GrumpyGreenWitch [23.6k] - G1 Jazz & Ensemble - Prowl challenges Jazz to a murder mystery game. I cannot recommend this one enough, it's such a good time.

A Flash of Gold by pipermca [22.9k] - Pacific Rim AU human!Sideswipe & jaeger!Sunstreaker - I'm a sucker for PacRim fusions and this one is just so good.

The Combiner Quirks of the Combaticons by Gayrob0t [16.3k] - First Aid/Bruticus, Combaticons - Bruticus develops a crush to the misfortune of everyone involved. Crackfic that cracked me up.

Sideswipe's Secret Vacation Spot by BalloonArcade [13.2k] - Sideswipe & Sunstreaker - Defection/ex-Con AU. So silly that the angst sneaks up on you, but it was there the whole time.

A Need to Know Basis by cassette [11.4k] - RiD 2015 Bee Team - 5+1 of Bee's team realising he's maybe kinda just a little messed up from the war. I love this take on Bee.

Sightlines by pipermca [9.2k] - Bluestreak & Hound - one of my favorite characterisations of Bluestreak.

The Test by flurrybird, nebroadwe [8.1k] - pre-TFP Bumblebee - dark-fic of Bumblebee losing his voice box. Intense, but I really liked the second chapter.

Independence Day by dragonofdispair [5.8k] - Optimus & Ensemble (background JazzProwl) - The war is over. Or is it 🤨

soundwave is (not) pregnant by vaporean_ninja [5.7k] - TFES Soundwave & Cassettes - I love a petty Soundwave. Neat take on hosts and cassettes. They're all just messing with Starscream.

but did you imagine it (in a different way)? by vaporeon_ninja [4.8k] - IDW Rodimus - Character study between canon events. Bro is straight up not having a good time.

In Want Of A Blade by KestrealBird [4.3k] - TF One B-127 & Optimus - Character study post-movie. Bee stays by Optimus's side.

Soundwave Says by Red Dragon [4.3k] - Hook & Soundwave - Hook cannot under any circumstances allow Soundwave to defect and leave him behind as the only competent Decepticon.

Consideration by Pipermca [3.7k] - TFP Dreadwing & Optimus - Defection/ex-Con AU. Stick a Decepticon in a cave with Optimus long enough and at least one of them is gonna defect.

But Who Can Grow Me a New Brother by boatformer [3.5k] - Combaticons & Wildrider - grief is messy and so is figuring out how to fit into a new team.

the vessel [2.6k] - Megatron & Optimus - Megatron finds something unexpected under the Primal Basilica; hilarity ensues. Starscream's dialogue in this lives in my head rent-free.

First Day on the Job by Rizobact [2.9k] - Thundercracker & Ensemble - First days and other office nonsense.

A Fourth to Remember by pipermca [2.5k] - G1 Ensemble - Wheeljack is a menace to societies everywhere.

Human Rhythm by neveralarch [1.1k] - G1 Ensemble - Jazz discovers beatboxing.

Starscream Fics:

The Prince and the Seeker by Baird Crevan [22.5k] - Pre-war SkyStar - Royal!Skyfire AU

Starscream (The Movie) by PeddlerEnterprises [18.2k ongoing] - Starscream in WW2 AU - I recently started reading this, and I'm enjoying it! The descriptions of Starscream and his transformation sequence are so good.

Skyfire in ES AU by Formless Monkeys [16.2k ongoing]- TFES SkyStar - They find Skyfire after the war. Fluff, comfort, and recovery all around. More about this AU on Tumlbr.

I am not immune to the plane movie propaganda by rooniper [11.4k] - Maverick & Starscream - I didn't find the Top Gun crossover fic it found me and it's hilarious. Features the trine in part 2.

Melittology: The Scientific Study of A Bee by Kestrealbird [7.1k] - StarBee - Starscream goes down a rabbit hole of scientific inquiry and, in true fashion, takes it to ridiculous lengths.

Worth Fighting For and Falling by Baird Crevan [4.9k and 2.1k] - Shattered Glass JetStar - Two unconnected but equally sweet JetStar fics.

In which bad things happen and first meetings occur by rooniper [3.9k] - IDW Academy Era SkyStar - They first meet when Starscream comes to Skyfire's rescue.

time left to be lazy and in a kind and wistful way by badskeletonpuns [3.6k and 2k] - Post/no-war SkyStar and SkyTrine - Soft drabbles with expecting Skyfire.

Subharmonics by neveralarch [3.3k] - Starscream & Megatron - Decepticons and frame dysphoria.

The Best Skies in the Galaxy by Baird Crevan, OverlordRaax [2.8k] - G1 SkyStar - The "sometimes I wonder" lines get to me every time.

Fog by pipermca [2.5k] - Trine - Suspense, ambiguous/unhappy ending.

Crime in Crystals by Aard_Rinn [348k] - background Mirage/Hound, MegOp, WheelRatch, and others - INCREDIBLE AND ADORABLE

Pieces by rainoverthemountains [201k ongoing] - Guessing you've read Too Far? This is similar vibes, but Jazz is recovering from torture with an emphasis on JP and his friendships in Spec Ops.

AU August Collection by Rizobact [160k] - basically a ton of drabbles that feature Jazz and Prowl but there are so many I love in here that I had to include it.

Neon Eclipse by GoblinCatKC [92.8k ongoing] - Prewar machinations with a side of JP.

I'm All Full Up on Yesterdays, Don't Sing Me No More Blues by DesdemonaKaylose [42.4k] - Arise, Opt—! Er, Dulcimaeus Prime?

Corpse Makes Three 'Verse by madmaenad [14.8k ongoing] - Prowl makes a plan. Jazz blows it out of the water. SO GOOD SO FAR.

Someone to Trust by FourthFloorWrites [14.5k] - ex-Con AU. Chases and mysteries and learning to trust someone.

Hachiko by SporeFrog [5k] - Hurt No Comfort. HURT SO BAD AND I CRIED BUT IT WAS SO GOOD. Not dark fic, just sad.

The Art of Stealth by Cloud_Hater [4.9k] - TF One - Jazz wants to listen to music. Prowl wants to help him.

The Old Familiar Custom by madmaenad [2.8k] - Silly hurt/comfort.

If the Pieces Fit by dragonofdispair [1.4k] - The scrunchie face of doom.

[son1c]

happy ending for fibula, he becomes an idol :]

i think his group would be called "SMASH HIT" because it sounds just as self-aggrandizing as you'd expect from an ex-supervillain zombie...

[rist-ix]

Hello, Rist. I have a question about the fanfic ‘sparked’ related to the Ohm spell. Was Valtor talking in his sleep while using it? Please don't think this is a silly question, but I imagined the situation as Valtor using this spell while sitting in the lotus position, with his eyes closed and a focused gaze, saying everything he said during Bloom's dream journey. So, I wanted to clarify this point.

HE DOES NOW!

Touching grass isn’t enough, I need to fiddle and tweet the circuitry of a robot girl in a flirtatious and sexual manor
