Summary: Surrounded by the torrid fiction of his fellow Autobots, Jazz uncovers a Decepticon plot hidden amidst their written fantasies. Mouse" ,where Soundwave meets and bonds with Ravage, is also extremely well written,ĥ: Spec Ops Mission 98: Jazz's Interrogation at Soundwave's Pedes by Goblin Cat KC Soundwave, in particular, is extremely well written, having lost practically everything at the start of the story, his ability to speak, his telepathy and comms mods, every symbiont except for Frenzy, and managing to claw his way from the depth of that devastation to build a new life.Īlso, the prequel "Song and Ravage by L. However, it is extremely well written, with excellent portrayals of Soundwave and Jazz (who doesn't feature much but shines when he does) and is one of those fics that can warm the heart one moment and break it into a million pieces the next. Ok, this is not JazzWave, even potentially. Summary: Soundwave is captured by the Autobots after being severely and permanently damaged in battle. There's a lot of very visceral emotional conflict between the two (to say nothing of the amount of torture/BDSM themes, though it's for allaying Megatron's suspicions rather than Prowl and Soundwave wanting to be cruel) but there's some real connection there also by the end, the promise of it at least, and I can't deny it's well written. Jazz and Soundwave's resultant relationship is a) more centered around Prowl than each other, and b) strained by what they've done to each other over the war, and the fact that Jazz is working from the bottom of the Pit to get those two to fix the planet Megatron broke. and Prowl, who's now with Soundwave runs into the enslaved Jazz one day and despite the reprogramming can't help but being drawn to him. Most of the Autobots end up dead, the rest are horribly mistreated slaves. Basically, the Decepticons capture Prowl and forcibly reprogram him, turning his tac-net to their side with devastating effect. Summary: When the Decepticons capture Prowl, the loss of their SIC and tactician is the least of the Autobot's worries.Īgain, it's the summary for one story in the series, setting the tone for the next, and definitely the darkest in this list. Not JazzWave, actually, but both are (I think) well portrayed.ģ: Judicium (series) by gatekat, Verilidaine. That's the summary for one story in the series, but it is representative of the significant events that set things in motion. When Jazz tortures Laserbeak, the war goes where it has never gone before.

They secure their electric dreams from the war, but firewalls can be broken. When the Autobots and Decepticons don’t dream of freedom and power, they dream of little ponies and pocket monsters, forests and crystals, games and magic. Summary: Puzzle games can remedy post-trauma, but they won’t erase the terrible necessities of war. well, you can evaluate better than me.Ģ: Shiny (series) by dragonofdespair, 12drakon. treats them with an unexpected degree of mercy?Īn interesting reversal of the usual where Jazz is the scary one and Soundwave the captive, though despite the long game being played, Jazz wants Soundwave eventually as a comrade/partner, not a pet/slave, and. So begins a terrifying experience for Soundwave, desperately struggling to protect his clade as Jazz determinedly. Still, Jazz wants the carrier for the Autobots, bad - he's clearly talented, has a strong and loyal clade, and would obviously make a fine agent, if he can be flipped. He had nothing to do with the torture, certainly didn't authorize it, but it still happened - and the terror he can teek in the young mech's field doesn't help with the guilt. Meanwhile, Jazz feels terrible about what's happened to the young mech. So when Soundwave, a young Decepticon communications officer, awakens after months of constant torture at the hands of an Autobot base commander to find himself and his cassettes in the Autobot HQ's medbay with Jazz standing over him, he can hardly control his terror - he's held out for so long, but this is a fight he can't hope to win, and he knows it. Jazz, TIC of the Autobots, assassin, spy, and interrogator extraordinaire, is the most feared mech in the Autobot ranks bar none - his very name makes Decepticons tremble, and brave mechen have terminated themselves rather than allow themselves to fall into his clutches. Two, just wanted to drop off a couple recs that I wandered across on AO3: One, I'm dying to see what's going to happen next in your absolutely amazing "These Games we Play." Please please please tell me it has a future! Ok, hi, so I've been a lurker here for ages now, and I hope I'm not violating any rules of the community or somethin'.
