    Summary

    “What plot is this?!” the Drulian interjected shrilly. “You have offered up this murderer for our judgment - to be sentenced to execution or life imprisonment - and suddenly he is unfit for either?! This is surely too convenient!”

    “I apologize - what?” Magnus said belatedly.

    Summary

    “Either I find the Knights with my crew - all of my crew, or not at all,” Rodimus says, stepping forward to speak to the circle at large. “You wanted me to take responsibility?” he adds, looking directly at Optimus. “This is me taking responsibility.

    “I’m going back for Drift, and I’m not stopping until I find him, or until whatever took him kills me.” Rodimus stares around the circle, one by one. “No one else has to come with me. You want to find the Knights? You’ll do it without me. I’m going to find Drift.”

    ---

    Cyberutopia, Rodimus, the crew of the Lost Light, and a rescue mission for a missing Drift that goes a bit... sideways.

    For Rodimus and Drift, the journey back to each other won't be easy.

    ---

    Adventure, mythbuilding and enough sci-fi weirdness to fuel a conspiracy board, lots of Drift and Rodimus character exploration and development, Ratchet, Magnus|Minimus, Lost Light found family, (very) eventual driftrod getting-together, lots of flashbacks, and plenty of feelings.

    Summary

    The teachings say: The dead stay with us. Their voices resonate in our sparks, the light they give off travels on. Stars can be seen from across the galaxy thousands of years after they die, and we will be the same, so long as those we knew carry us with them.

    No-one who is loved is ever lost.

     *

    After Rodimus dies fighting the Sparkeater, Drift tries to make sense of everything that's happened. Faith, love, redemption: it's hard to tell the difference sometimes. A tale of the other Lost Light.

    Summary

    Becoming a Prime meant accepting a council of sparkmates, mechs who represented not just the varying people on Cybertron, but who kept the Prime from turning against his people. Rodimus never had such a council, and so, Ratchet always assumed he was a Prime in name only.

    Ratchet was wrong.

    Summary

    Hot Rod was still young. She’d seen things just as horrible as Arcee had, only far less of them. She probably hadn’t learned that anything hopeful and uncomplicated would invariably end up strapped to a conveyer belt, condemned to the closest smelting pool.

    Arcee kicked the bunk again, hard enough that something in her foot snapped.

    There was no place here for something soft.
