Summary
In a world of superpowers and infinite possibilities, children can be born into situations they have no control over, no say, and no ability to save themselves.
In any other world, these two stars were destined to fight from opposite sides of the coin, but this...
This is the story of their downfall.

Summary
A dedicated vigilante, known for his personality, jumping mastery and skill of remaining under the radar has risen from the deep, dark depths of All Might's shadow.
Surprise is a tool to be utilized without hesitation, that's all he has. Lives underestimated.
What if this famous vigilante is just a sad, lonely, useless Midoriya Izuku?

Summary
A fight.
All blood and busted bone.
City thrown into havoc.
And at the damaged, ice fragile heart of the devastation?
Class 2A.
The chaos class 2A, survivors and hero hopefuls. HIS students. Aizawa is a hero, but he doesn't know what to do anymore.
The pain-panic-heartbeat is too wild in his ears, rain too heavy on his back, weighing down his hero costume. Memories too close to the surface.
No, don't say that.
Don't look at him like that.
Oh Kami, he's so, sorry...∞

If he'd considered the idea of quirks being forced on people, he wouldn't have gone out that Saturday.
Yet... If he hadn't, he wouldn't have met the family he had today. His mismatched, caring family.

Summary
Hitoshi sighed, but it sounded more like a cough. "Honestly," he hummed, "it's a bit like that villain who turned my legs to jelly and you came to rescue me. The vigilante who stole my heart away during a fight."
Slowly, leafy eyes caught his, gifting him with a soft, bloody-toothed smile. "You admit... I stole y'ur heart?"
With Hitoshi's chin on the shorter one's shoulder, he could easily match that mellow smile.-
Aizawa has never hoped to find the end of a trail so quickly.
However, upon seeing the edge of a creamy blanket off to his left, the cold little cavern seemed empty of oxygen.
The blanket that he'd gotten for two teens who never stopped moving, knives and metal masks gleaming in unison when faced with moonlight and villains, capture weapon and heroes. Grimacing and clinging to the other, as if waiting to be hurt all over again.
It seemed… fitting for them to leave this world with it.

Summary
It turns out that being wired into giant war machines doesn’t play nice with human brains. The Earth Mechanical Defense Force, or EMDF, learned that the hard way when their pilots started going… neurotic, let’s say, after a few missions.
The obvious solution to that problem was to simply wire the pilot into their mecha permanently, that way their mind wasn’t being strained by the constant in and out. Unfortunately that strategy backfired and the pilots started going neurotic much, much faster, and this time they were giant and made of metal and much harder to put down.
So, the obvious next step would be to pull the plug on that idea and go back to the drawing board, right? No, that’s ridiculous, the next step was obviously to simply…
Make the mecha forget they’d ever been human in the first place.
Somewhere along the line someone should have pulled the plug, but they’d already invested so much into the project, and you know what they say about sunk cost fallacy.

Summary
Dinobots were supposed to be extinct.
Cybertron had changed too much for them to survive: ages of brutal heat, collapsing ecosystems, endless civil wars, and the merciless hunts of the Predacons, their oldest and greatest enemies. In the present, Dinobots are nothing more than myths told by old bots, fossils buried beneath dead cities, and warnings carved into territory no one sane dares to claim.
But the Autobots are desperate. They need land, resources, and a strategic foothold. So they cross into a forgotten region of Cybertron, ignoring every old warning that says the territory does not belong to them.
At first, the silence feels like abandonment.
Then the forest moves.
The Autobots soon learn the truth: the Dinobots never died. They adapted. They hunted. They remembered. And among the ancient living nightmares stalking the forbidden land are Starscream and Bumblebee, two Dinobots and lovers who have survived for eons.
The Autobots did not discover empty territory.
They walked into a feeding ground...

Summary
Day Twenty-Seven: Voiceless
Clearly, the offline yellow frame trapped by blackened earth had been trying to get clear even before the final explosion, likely ferrying his charge to safety. Small organic fingers tugged and shoved at the comparatively massive rocks, delicate skin tearing and leaving behind streaks of red fluid. But despite his panic, despite the pain, the human refused to abandon his guardian.
“Bumblebee,” he choked out, voice thick with emotion.
It reminded Soundwave all too much of another scene, long before, on another planet entirely.

Summary
A leader misses a moment that matters—and doesn’t realize the cost until silence almost takes something irreplaceable.
An injured scout learns, painfully, how deeply he’s learned to make himself small. Help arrives late, then louder than intended, and the attention meant to protect only sharpens old fears of being a burden.
What follows isn’t instant healing, but a slow, deliberate unlearning: of minimizing pain, of confusing usefulness with worth, of thinking care must be earned. Words are finally spoken without excuses. Promises are tested in quiet moments, not emergencies.
In the end, nothing is perfect—but something essential changes.
A call is answered.
Someone stays.
And trust, once broken by silence, begins to grow in its place.Bookmarked by Kalateral_Damage

Summary
He knows that maybe there was something, anything other than his current designation, and he also knows that no matter how hard he tries, no matter how much time he devotes to digging through his memory core, the past won’t make itself clear to him.
(B knows pain. He knows how to hurt as well. Then he learns agony and healing and loneliness and longing.)
Or: Bee backstory(ish) for TF one!!
Or or: I put Bee through the wringer bc I love hurting characters I love
