    Summary

    Starscream has been found in critical condition after a fight with Megatron. It will be a very long road to recovery.

    How will he change under the Autobots care? How will the Autobots change with one of their worst enemies stuck in their medbay? How will the Deceptions manage without their Second in Command?

    Change is inevitable. Whether positive or negative, only time will tell.

    12/Sep/25 small update! I'm editing past chapters to fix my usage of "Raph" instead of Raf (sorry) and fix some terminology mistakes (fixing head to be helm and whatnot where I've made mistakes) Currently up to chapter 19

    Also, I've cemented a head cannon (first mentioned in the end notes of chapter 23) that Starscream uses Cybertronian time measurements, so I've made some small edits here and there to keep things consistent! Time keys can be found on multiple chapters from before I started implementing this as a part of the story, but I've added one to chapter 3!

    As this is my first fic, I have tried my best not to outright re-write things as I like seeing how far I've come :)

    Summary

    Starscream wakes up. Kind of. He's dead, so it's a little hard to tell as to what constitutes. The last thing he remembers was his time spent preparing for the first independent research mission he and his scientific partner Skyfire agreed to go on... and now he's in a strange place, oddly ghostly, and lonely.

    How did he die? What happened between his last memory and now? Where is he? All of those are questions Starscream would love to know the answer to, but unfortunately does not. Guess he's gotta start somewhere... Skyfire's a good option, right?

    Summary

    Yelling from inside catches his attention, muffled by the wall between them. Wheeljack gets the distinct feeling he’s not welcome here.

    “Uh.” Wheeljack doesn’t know if he’ll come back at all. “Sure.”

     

    Or:

    Wheeljack attempts to get back what he and Starscream used to have.

    Summary

    Prime moves swiftly, with purpose—lifting, shifting, tossing debris aside as though it weighs nothing. His steps are careful but unrelenting, the ground shaking just slightly under each one. The tremor of the rubble vibrates through Starscream and it feels like knives being jabbed into his wires.

    Of course Optimus Prime would show up. Of course he'd come for one of his own.

    He can't even delegate this to someone else. Optimus Prime is too noble, too compassionate, too honorable to not put his own life on the line for his underlings.

    Megatron would laugh at the very notion.

    -

    Starscream is left to rust after a failed decepticon mission. Optimus Prime does not let him die.

    Summary

    Redemption and healing, so foreign and out of reach, or so they thought at first
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The silence is so loud it’s swallowing the brightest Star, the start of a fall, the rise out of chains.
    Chains that keep one’s self pinned, self imposed, but all the same held onto by others.

    Summary

    After the events of Transformers: Prime, Starscream is beaten to near-death by Predaking, leaving him completely blind. When a ground bridge suddenly opens in front of him, Starscream takes the chance at rescue and crawls through, only to find himself on the Nemesis with the remaining Autobots. Supplies are limited, and Starscream is forced to live without optics until a suitable replacement set is discovered or built from scratch. Alone, blind, without a leader to serve (or overthrow), or even a war to fight anymore, Starscream is left completely powerless for the first time, having no choice but to submit to the Autobots or take his chances on the ruins of Cybertron. Optimus Prime is dead, but the Autobots honor his spark by giving the seeker one final chance to change his ways, as they know he would have. Starscream, stripped of all of his power, is forced to face what is left, finding nothing but a husk of the mech he was before the war. Is it truly possible to change after losing so much? Or is he doomed to repeat his past mistakes?

    Summary

    Optimus knelt beside Starscream, his massive frame dwarfing the Seeker's slender form. "I will carry him." Without further explanation, he slid one arm beneath Starscream's shoulders and the other under his knees, lifting him with careful precision. The Decepticon's limp form pressed against Optimus's chest plates, his head lolling against the Autobot insignia. For a brief moment, Optimus's ventilation systems hitched, his optics dimming slightly as he adjusted his hold.

    -------
    Grieving Cliffjumper's loss, Arcee struggles with her conflicting emotions when she and Optimus discover an injured, amnesiac Starscream. Optimus, meanwhile, finds himself drawn to the vulnerable scientist beneath the Decepticon facade, his gentle touches and protective instincts revealing deeper currents of connection. Meanwhile, Megatron is haunted by Starscream's absence—the emptiness in his spark chamber growing with each passing day. His processor fills with memories of heated arguments and dangerous loyalty, realizing too late the complex bond that had formed between them over millions of years of warfare.

    Summary

    Basically, during the One Shall Rise episodes, Starscream appears for some reason (probably to overthrow Megatron), and somehow ends up in Unicron’s core that Megatron and Optimus are in while it gets un-evilized by the Matrix. Now captured by the Autobots, he’s forced to work together with them to get their leader back. Starscream thinks things can’t get worse—that is, until his old memories and personality start resurfacing.

    Summary

    A canon divergeance from episode 26 of G1: "Enter the Nightbird". What if, instead of tracking down the others and shooting the ninja in the back, the episode ended much differently - with Starscream turning to the Autobots, instead?

    Rated G for now, but might change in the future, idk!

    Summary

    The Matrix of Leadership was a divine artifact that had been granted to Optimus Prime by Primus when she was remade her after death. As it turns out there's more to learn about such a powerful object other than just being a symbol of divinity.

    Summary

    His claws flex. He should be plunging them through that bright red plating, straight through his sparkchamber. He should make it easy for the Autobot.

    “Don’t you know what to do with an enemy without your master?”

    This mech had blue optics.

    This mech wasn’t that big.

    This mech was red.

    Starscream doesn’t kill Cliffjumper. He can’t bring himself to.

    Summary

    Energon Level: 7.4%

    It would be any time now.
    Starscream, lying on the floor while leaning against the corner of the room, thought to himself as he watches his Energon levels slowly plummet, promising him an agonizingly slow death, that also seemed too soon to be true.

    Before, when he had just gotten banished, It had been years of scavenging, months of despairing, weeks of starving, and now...

    Now he only had mere hours. Not that he could care. He stopped caring a week ago, maybe even a month ago. But he used to care. He did, just not anymore.

    Starscream gives up and slowly reaches his demise... Until Megatron rips him off from the clutches of death. Starscream, of course, has a problem with that.

    Summary

    "You hadn’t necessarily expected your bots to be buddy-buddy with their enemy faction’s Air Commander off the get-go, but-- then again, you wouldn’t have expected to be saddled with a very injured and heavily depressed Starscream sitting in your lot either.

    And you hate to admit it, but you feel bad for the guy."

    ----

    Starscream's days as a rogue Decepticon have come to a startling halt after a close-call encounter with Megatron, leaving him in bad shape and unable to go it solo anymore. However, his unwillingness to work alongside others and constant flipping back and forth from allegiances has left him with little options on who to turn to.

    It's a good thing that you badgered your way into his peripheral to light his way, taking him in.

    Not everyone is happy about it though.
