you know we talk a lot about how God didn’t have to come rescue us but even given that, you know what else he didn’t have to do? Give us PARTIES and FAMILIES and the breath and depth of his incredible church but also WINE and SCALLOPED POTATOES and MUSIC and CANDLES and a family of faith that writes stuff down and has cool ideas that we get to keep having for thousands of years! I’m having the same party my whole family has been having for two millennium! We will keep having it! Christos Anesti! He is risen from the dead trampling over death by death it is time to have a PARTY. To ransom a slave he gave up his son!! Oh happy fault that earned so great and glorious a redeemer!!

Hrrrggg everything hurts. Thinking about the MegOP sparkling (I need names, but am thinking about naming her Stronghold) I’ve had rattling around in brain for the past month or so, so here goes, continuity soup because I said so. This is… a long one 😅

So we start with the usual pre war MegOP situation with Gladiator Megs and Archivist Orion, who go talk to the high council and yadah yadah, you know what happens next. (think TFP) OP gets the Matrix and Megatron is betrayed and starts up his intergalactic terrorist group (yippee!) When he finds out, Uh-Oh! He carrying and it’s Optimus’s… he freaks out pretty hard but WaveWave is there to support him during his pregnancy (Soundwaves a bit jealous about not being the one who’s currently carrying but is excited to see/raise a new spark). Eventually he has the baby and there are a few.. complications.

1. Sparklings are supposed to have strong bonds with their carrier and sire, but in Strongholds case, they have no sire bond with Optimus (the matrix prevented it), which causes her to have spark flutters (essentially heart problems) causing the little one lots of pain with no exception of expressing it but crying/being a fussy baby while she’s young. The only was they find this out is with Soundwaves telepathy, something they are VERY grateful for.

2. Megatron suffers from GREATLY from postpartum depression, and can’t even bear to look at his daughter. He can bring himself to feed her or try to establish any type of bond between the two and ends up hating her and what she stands for in his mind (having OP and trying to have a family with him)

This causes the young heiress to be raised by the deception high command with very little input on Megatrons behalf besides being an abusive mom and wanting her to be a warrior. She’s mainly being raised by Wavewave, the elite trine and Hook due to having to be in the med bay almost constantly in her sparkling hood. As a sparkling she showed major talent and interests in the arts, something that was supported by their caregivers, but almost gets beaten to death by Megatron finds out she wants to be an artist and not a warrior. (Megatron has “training” sessions with her, where she essentially gets beaten half to death but her carrier, who claims it’ll make her stronger. And when she’s finally able to beat him, she’ll be able to lead the decepticons) (this also leads to her hiding her passions) This is how she wins over Starscream and he decides to help raise/guide her (and who knows, maybe one day he or she will kill Megatron and he’ll be the leader of the decepticons) She’s raised to be a master spy (Soundwave) and interrogator/torturer (Shockwave and Starscream). Eventually though the war starts to pick up and everyone is headed to earth (think G1, but shockwave goes with the decepticons) leaving Stronghold alone on Cybertron with Rumble, Buzzsaw, Thundercraker, and the Constructicons to watch/take care of her; and her mentor Tarn (and the rest of the DJD) and a few other decepticons at about ~10 years old to Cybertronian standards. She finds herself forced to grow up and lead the Decepticons, being raised by the most ruthless and cunning bots has its advantages, and she ends up quickly taking out the Autobots on Cyberton leading the planet under Decepticon rule. However there was complications with the others (G1 style, went missing for a few billion years type-beat) She grows up a warlord, conquering Autobot territory’s and wiping them out, searching for her lost family comrades, with the Deceptions ruling the galaxy, (exterminating the Autobots and making allies with/converting Neutrals). She’s ends up creating a vast and powerful empire (Thundercraker, Hook and Tarn are very proud).

On earth is the normal G1 -> Earthspark timeline, expect I ignore everything that happens after s1. Soundwave manages to get a SOS comm into deep space, which gets intercepted to the Decepticon empire. This happens around/a little after her spark almost gave out, as her carrier/sparkling bond was broken with Megatron, which was assumed to be due to his death. This made her spark unstable, and made her even more vulnerable to her spark attacks (also her occasional maniac episodes go worse/more common) She leads a ship to Earth where she finds that not only is her carrier ALIVE, which means he LEFT her HE DOESNT WANT HER HE NEVER WANTED HER- but also joined the enemy. And started a new family, one without her This is also how she and Optimus find out they’re related, because honestly, Meg’s forgot all about her. (Also, megaton has more of a major role in the Terran’s lives, which leaves Stronghold seething, swearing to end them) ((You know when/how Megatrons calls Twitch “little bird”? THAT USED TO BE HER NICKNAME SHE USED TO BE HIS LITTLE BIRD WHEN HE WAS HAPPY WITH HER)) (think of when shockwave was racist towards the Terran’s) Stronghold finds out that the decepticons have been stranded on earth, and have been being tortured by Autobots and their human allies (GHOST). She stages a jailbreak for the others and begins to plan war with the others left on earth (she’s not leaving until Megatrons head is on a platter and she’s ripped the matrix out of OP’s chest). (They chill in the atmosphere like the Nemesis in prime) Needless to say, Shockwave Soundwave and Starscream are very surprised/proud to see her and her accomplishments (if not sad that she (now about 15) had to grow up so fast and what has happened to her)

There are a few ways this AU can end and there’ll prolly be a few alt timelines… 👀

Uhh anyways that’s it,,, I hope you like her and I will probably draw the creature soon

(Please please ask me about her and my silly little AU 🥺🥺🥺)

Title: In glory, in ruin

One, a series of stand-alone fics that explores the Shattered Glass AU of different iterations with a particular focus on divine horror and religious fanaticism. It would be interesting to delve on Titans and their perceptions here.

Two, TFP fic that's a character study of Prima, the Eldest Sun and the First Prime to be created. With a particular focus on his relationships with others, and how they're mirrors or foils. Even Optimus is a foil to him as he's the reincarnation of the youngest of Prima's siblings: the forgotten Thirteenth Prime.

Three, a 'Dead Dove: Do Not Eat' iteration of TFP Cyber!Earth AU. It follows a cyberformed sparkling Jack being raised the Decepticons without any buffer to the darker influence of Gilded Earth that keeps calling to him through his dreams and blackbirds. In this universe, there were no steps taken to pacify the new-old planet, nor attempts to actually bridge the trapped Cybertronians to the Other inhabitants that woke up ravenous and enraged. They will turn their attention to the little < Wayfinder > in so many ways < Omens and omens, little bird. > and await for Pax to rise and slay Megatron before taking the title for the Emperor of Destruction.

Pax, however, doesn't kill Megatron. No, he has other plans...

"I don't need to kill you to prove myself." Those soft grey-blue optics were chilling, despite the child's high voice and gentle tone. It wasn't naivety nor bullheaded idealism that colored his namesake, but something more deeply unsettling. "Why kill you when I can eat your heart as you watch?"

Pax here awakens Trypticon, loyalty bound by Dark Energon as Pax here is a child of Earth - a son of Gaea and Unicron - and by his own Other heritage and self experimentation has superseded Megatron's own control.

A mad Titan for a monstrous and equally mad child with their mission to destroy the remaining ties to Cybertron, including the scattered survivors across the stars. Under the guidance of Pax, Trypticon navigates the labile gateways to leave Gilded Earth to begin its newfound goal: Destruction.

And from his prison, Unicron laughs. Delighted and maliciously gleeful that that Megatron -the mech who derived his own name from the very Prime that chained Unicron and the very mech that stole away Unicron's own blood to give rise to abominations - is the one that gave him such a magnificent gift. < He will give you desolation and call it peace. >

Well, this is a special day.

Today, 21 MAR 2025, marks ten straight years of "You've Got Kudos!" in my email

Every! Single! Day!

I cannot tell you how grateful for this I am, and how humbled I feel by the kindness of the Lovely Readers, and how it still makes me smile every time I see those three words in my email notifications. I do not take it for granted; it honestly blows my mind that this streak has continued.*

I was telling my husband about this particular anniversary, and I choked halfway through, on happy tears.

It's stunning to me, when I consider what this milestone really signifies: Every single damn day--for ten! years!--some soul, somewhere in the world, engaged with my work. I imagine very few, extremely prolific and widely translated (not to mention marketed by publishing conglomerates) authors in the world might have a similar statistic.

Joke's on them though. Thanks to those daily emails from the sainted AO3, I have the receipts. :-D

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you, and appreciate this more than I can say.

(*to be totally transparent, it's every day for ten years, save one day back in 2014 ::shakes fist at the sky:: It keeps me humble).

Hii :))

It'd be lovely to see Varian and Hugo dancing together on a fancy ball with fancy clothes (or if you don't want that, just them on a fancy ball with fancy clothes (maybe laughing at something together, drinking champagne or wine - but that's just a suggestion) would be amazing too)

Have a nice day!! 💖💖

they are making fun of the nobles
