Prompt: September Twenty-eight - 1 & 5 - where do we go from here?

---

They were sitting on a platform in Iacon City, looking out over the war-strewn landscape of their homeworld. It wasn't Midnight's by birth, and she was pretty sure that Earth would always come first in some ways for her, but this place was a cradle of her people.

"What now, papa? Where do we go from here? How do we make the peace last?"

"Forward, always, but with an eye to past mistakes," Optimus rumbled, letting her lean against him. "We build peace by finding common ground, and making a fair society."

She out-vented, then nodded. "Only thing to do."

Title: Euphemisms
Fandom: Transformers [Bay Movies]
Pairing/Characters: Thundercracker & Scion [OC]
Content Notes: none
Prompt: September Twenty-six - 6 & 7 - double meaning

---

Thundercracker looked up as Scion came in, that same heel-lifted walk 'Screamer used, and he knew the rust-bit would hate to be reminded of the similarity.

"I cannot ask any other Seeker," Scion said with a huff. "And I'm not about to ask Powerglide; he already thinks I am lacking knowledge.

"Do you have a language program with … euphemisms?"

Thundercracker wanted to smile, even laugh, but the rust-bit was dead serious, and the look implied Scion had missed something thrown at him and been humiliated by the response.

"Yeah. Give me a moment and I'll send you a language file."

Pairing/Characters: Optimus Prime/Mikaela Banes

Prompt: September Twenty-three - 1 & 4 - oh no, there's only one [choice]

---

"Big guy, that bed is not going to accommodate you, let alone me trying to share it with you," Mikaela said, eyeing the recharge berth skeptically.

"A good thing I brought padding for you then, though… you are correct. I can rest on the decking, and lay my upper body across it, though, for the benefit of its charging fields."

Optimus proceeded to do so, after removing the padding and blanket from his subspace. Those were arranged on his legs, so that Mikaela would be comfortable.

"I'll be glad to be back home," she said wistfully.

"We will be soon."

Title: Shopping List
Fandom: Transformers [G1]
Pairing/Characters: Starscream & Megatron
Content Notes: Decepticon humor
Prompt: September Twenty-two - 2 & 8 - grocery list

---

"Energon. Cabling. Chassis wiring."

"Dermaplates. Epoxy. Resin."

In unison, the pair said the next item on the list. "Optimus Prime's head on a plate."

The roar of laughter between them was frightening to the other Decepticons in the bay, but Megatron in high spirits, with Starscream in accord with him was plenty of reason to be terrified.

"This plan of yours, my traitor, just may net us that item finally," Megatron said, flicking over the rest of the pieces they had already acquired.

"Of course it will, my Lord, for it makes best advantage of their weakness."

"Indeed it does."
