Bluestreak's (Totally-Not-Decepticon) PenPal by Mertisal

Summary
Bluestreak is lonely. It's hard, being one of the only Praxians left. His adoptive creators try their best to be with him, but Jazz and Prowl are busy running the war, and the Decepticons aren't making it any easier.
But then, while recovering from some injuries, he gets a strange--and wonderful--message that another Praxian wants to exchange data-letters with him! Finally, he can have a steady friend and someone that will understand what it's like to have lost you entire home.
And his new penpal totally isn't Thundercracker, who isn't also painfully lonely and feeling particularly doubtful about the Decepticon cause. No, no, it's not Thundercracker, because that would be ridiculous. Right?

Summary
When Dimitri comes to, he is in the woods.
This is not a particularly noteworthy observation; he has spent far more time in the woods over the past five years than he thought it was possible for one person to spend, and, from what he can remember, he’d been out on a mission with the Professor and his former classmates, but–
The clearing he’s in is completely empty. He doesn’t recognize it at all.
A twig snaps from somewhere behind him, bringing him out of his thoughts, and Dimitri immediately tenses, senses going on high alert. He whips his head towards the noise, hand tightening around his weapon as he whirls around and steadies himself into a defensive stance in order to face–
A child.
A very, very young child.
A very familiar looking child.
Or,
On a mission gone wrong, Byleth accidentally sends each of her students headfirst into someone else's past.
This changes many things, and then also not very much at all.

Bookmarker's Notes
Extremely well paced with good balance of plot to relationship building, genuinely worth the read for character development and prose alone even if you don't like the pairing.
