A terrified girl finds herself mixed up with three other children in a war that had somehow reached to them. Unlike the other children, she did not have a home to go back to. Scars like hers run too deep and she does not know what worth she could even give to the transformers who have now become her guardians to protect her from decepticons. Her near constant presence in their base seems to be a bother to the transformers, she can tell even if they do not say it out loud to her. The girl is not a fool. However, when they realize just how deep her pain truly was and how far she is willing to end it, Optimus is unwilling to give up on her. She does not understand his reasons, they slowly become clear. And when she finally runs in with Optimus's arch enemy, she finds herself eyeing off a certain decepticon leader in a way that she should not have. And she did not know why. Megatron himself feels he simply had taken something so precious from Prime, and enjoys watching the autobot panic in trying to find her. But, the girl began to confuse his spark. So much so he questions so much about himself.

The Broken Crown by esmeralian

Once, Starscream stood proudly as Second-in-Command of the Decepticons, loyal to a cause he believed in. But as Megatron spirals deeper into madness with the use of Dark Energon, that belief begins to unravel. Offered a way out by his Trine, Starscream hesitates-until Megatron crosses a line that shatters what little trust remains. With no other choice, he abandons the Decepticons and seeks refuge among the Autobots. But turning traitor is only the beginning. Plagued by a mysterious illness and burdened by the secrets he's kept buried, Starscream is forced to confront not only the ghosts of his past but the fragile hope of a future he never asked for-a sparkling he never planned. Now, with his body weakening and his loyalties torn, Starscream must decide if he's strong enough to embrace redemption... or if the weight of his past will finally bring him down. || Completed: 09/26/2025 || Find this story on AO3 as well! https://archiveofourown.org/works/56524585/chapters/143653924

The war was over. Megatron, the evil warlord who had plagued the galaxy for so long, had finally given up and disappeared. Cybertron and Earth celebrated his absence, but his presence was found once again, only twenty years after the war ended. Knowing he needed to live, to remember those he had wronged, Megatron went back to Earth and found himself a home in an old energon mine. He was alone for years in sorrow and regret until one day, a little insect wormed her way into his life. Minerva Bryce wanted an adventure. She was tired of a life of training and lectures from her grandfather. After countless attempts to run away, the curious girl found herself sitting at a desk with an open file sitting in front of her. A classified, top secret file about abandoned alien mines. Turns out, she wasn't the only one who thought they'd be a good place to hide. While the two are destined to meet, another great power is rising that will threaten both Cybertron and Earth. Optimus races to find Megatron, knowing he is the only one who can help them, despite what his other Autobots think.

To them, you were ruthless and horrible, simply because you wore a different insignia on your chassis. You already swore an oath to the true enemy, so why would you leave? Your sparkling would grow up with villains. Murderers. Destroyers. Or it all appeared that way until your coming to Earth, where you met a special seeker. He became your glimmer of hope. But will he stay that way?
