The Decepticons devised a new code, and were using it to lay waste to Autobot outposts across the galaxy.

To stop the destruction, all the Autobots had to do was decode it.

Ship: Jazz/Prowl

WC: 6,135. earnestly I read this for the blaster content but the jazz/prowl plot is a little more predominant. buuuut it's also how blaster being jazz's friend plays into whatever the professional relationship between blaster and prowl is. i would call this a bamf!prowl and bamf!blaster fic? they do Cool Stuff!

One, Two Steps Down the Measure by Dripping_Shattered_Stars

https://archiveofourown.org/works/42458883

Basically, Jazz gets looks of distrust and disgust from the Autobots as most don't believe he's genuine in turning a new leaf. His prior attempts at deactivating Ironhide and Prowl didn't help.

But Blaster doesn't care, he thinks the new mech has good taste in music and that's more than enough to strike up a friendship with him.

As a result, Blaster gets a new deadly guardian angel.

WC: 5,042. jazz and blaster get to hang out and i am always thrilled about this. i could talk about this for hours but honestly just go read it

Unit Morale by eerian_sadow

https://archiveofourown.org/works/9467387

Blaster is a bright, happy being. When he suddenly isn't, Optimus takes personal interest.

WC: 1,312. young blaster! feelings of inadequacy!! the message of hope!!! good stuff all around :)

Survival Instincts by eerian_sadow

https://archiveofourown.org/works/521177

Blaster and Sunstreaker have been adrift from the war for a long time. Now they finally have a goal, and possibly a new home.

As long as they can manage to get there, that is.

WC: 11,149. two eerian_sadow fics? in a row?? yea i love their characterization of blaster if you havent gone through their blaster stuff what are you doing. this is not a pair i've ever observed but it's so brilliant and well-developed.

Too Early To Care by Spector_Author

https://archiveofourown.org/works/51059134

Blaster is on the morning shift, the early morning shift, and gets some unexpected company.

Or. A short snippet written to distract myself from how eepy I was.

WC: 1,328. Not only is this one of my favorite blaster-hangs-out-with-a-new-bot fics, it is one of my favorite blaster fics ever. this fic is a warm blanket to me.

Earth Calling by VelvetFanfic

Earth Calling Chapter 1, a transformers/beast wars fanfic | FanFiction

Some of the survivors from the Ark react to the fallout from Unicron's defeat and the ultimate end of their four million year mission.

WC: 5,063. i think this is one of the only fics i've seen discuss blaster's role as city commander, and it covers both why and how which is super satisfying. also some good jazz and carly content!

All Is Silent by Tatsumaki-sama

All Is Silent, a transformers/beast wars fanfic | FanFiction

After Optimus loses his voice, the world suddenly seems so quiet. Especially to Blaster. ::More Than A Leader series::

WC: 3,688. i loooove blaster with a gimmick. i also love blaster and optimus being friends. a very charming depiction of the both of them.

Unlikely Alliance by FromHakaryou

Unlikely Alliance, a transformers/beast wars fanfic | FanFiction

The young Autobot Blaster finds himself stranded in an unknown tunnel system, but he's not alone...

WC: 7,403. is it even possible to get tired of blaster and soundwave??? there are so many possible routes. anyway this fic has blaster's Morally Upstanding Autobot personality vs. soundwave's "we are of a kind" ethics and mothering tendencies. im insane about it

Officer Sleeping Habits by The Fish with no pen

Little sad attempt at a bunny from the TF bunny farm on lj about Blaster and supposed sleeping habits he may have. Beware of my fail.

WC: 877. idk what it is but this drabble calls to me. vague lore? red alert having to coexist with blaster of all people bc of their positions? refreshing. i'd read a freakin novel about this. also for a little extra context, the bunny in question: "Blaster can often be found curled up asleep in the security center. Everyone wonders why Red Alert and Inferno don't seem to mind him being there."

The Rhythm Of An Autobot by AutobotV

The Rhythm Of An Autobot, a transformers/beast wars fanfic | FanFiction

This is a tale of how the loud Blaster fell in love with music. How he searched for that missing part of him that was the rhythum of life. Part of my new mini sereis, Origins of the Transformers! Written for Thoughts in Chaos

WC: 7,447. genuinely BY FAR one of the best blaster backstories. it makes sense, its fun, its got that classic g1 vibe. worldbuilding is everything to me and the environment we see blaster develop in is so definitive and so, so good as contrast to blaster himself. also cosmos and who doesn't love cosmos

probably gonna be revamping my tags so i can include characters btw

Calls Like These by Quiet_Shadow

“I ought to neuter you, you little suborning pervert! You two-credits, virus-addled seducer! You…” Blaster’s speech dissolved into statics, but Soundwave didn’t care.

He was too busy staring at Ravage, and he was Judging him, because he was getting a better understanding of the situation, and he didn’t like the picture it was forming at all.

A furious Blaster is calling the Nemesis. Things devolve from there, much to Soundwave's disapproval and Ravage's sheepishness.

i am 100 percent insane about classic fanfic formats and "series of small in-between moments" is a classic of course. sweet and adorable with some fun character ideas and fluff. also muppets which is a win

[rollerrecs]

I have the urge to request more Morro recs, but I know you don't have anymore.

Do you happen to have any Glacier fics though?

Memento Mori, Memento Vivere (Remember to Die, but Do Not Forget to Live) by HotPocketsAreLife

< Then, The Bounty lurches, and with it, Cole's heart. This spike of fear as he stumbles cuts through his concentration of keeping himself physical. He holds back a scream as he hurtles through the floor, hands first.

A surprised Zane is waiting directly in his path. With Cole's momentum, he goes right through the nindroid. Desperate not to fall through the whole ship- Cole claws for purchase on his friend. >

Or, Cole accidently possesses Zane

Fandom: Lego Ninjago

Ship: Cole / Zane

Words: 4.8k. Completed.

as a continuation of the description, Cole accidentally possesses Zane, and they're both extremely, awkwardly gay about it. sort of a strange scifi concept but in a hurt/comfort romance fic. adorable and interesting.

I was kind of hoping to deliver a long fic rec but unfortunately I don't think I knew how bookmarks worked when I was really into glacier so I hope you're cool with more short recs. still cute with lots of development.

finding the light hidden in darkness by quantumducky

Anxiety wasn’t sure the other ‘dark’ sides had really thought it through when they’d decided to leave him home alone for a week while they did whatever it was they were doing. Not that he didn’t want to be- having the house to himself was great- but it was stressful being responsible for everything that needed to get done around here until they came back.

Like, for example, right now he had the responsibility of taking food down to their prisoner, who he’d never even gone near before. Morality. The others said he was dangerous, incredibly powerful without the suppressing chains they had him in. He was the one who put them here, in this house on the outskirts of the mind where it was always night, the one who had banished them to the darkness. He hated them all, apparently, and Anxiety was just a little terrified of him. Deceit had captured him somehow a few months ago, and he’d been locked in the basement ever since, supposedly so they could keep him from locking them out of the mind entirely, and Anxiety had been warned not to go down there. And now, for some reason, they were entrusting all this to him. He wondered if he’d done something to offend Malice recently.

one of those fics where u think "25k words? that feels like a lot of time to explore this" and it is in fact the perfect amount of time to cover Patton angst and (sort of) pre-canon Patton-Virgil friendship. hurt comfort and fluff and angst . yum

Foresight by akcugrai

Izuku's quirk is simple, it tells him exactly what he needs to do.It tells him to grab an umbrella and that afternoon it rains unexpectedly. It tells him to bring cash and it turns out the card reader is out of order.

His quirk tells him to rob a bank.

Well, why not?

Does the name All for One mean anything to Izuku? Nope.

Will he tear down the empire of a powerful villain who has been terrorizing Japan for over a century anyway? Sure.

That PEN was very sweet, however, I have apparently read it before.

More PEN?

my beloved rival by belledamn

It was different when Neal was just an idea of a person. A photo that looked more like a headshot than a mugshot. A man who sent her flowers, and sometimes even birthday cards; all of them anonymous, none of them sincere. That was easier: that was just a thrill, nothing more. But then he showed up on her doorstep, a tracker strapped to his ankle and a smile pasted on his face, and it mattered, all of a sudden, whether Neal went back to prison or not.

It’s a lot more complicated, now that Elizabeth doesn’t want him to go.
