‘Let Starscream go… he just wants to set up more assassination attempts.’

‘That’s WHY I’m spying on him!’ Laserbeak responds, irritably. 

‘No,’ Soundwave sends back. ‘The traps are fine. I just don’t want any real surprises. Give the poor mech some space— he finds it undignified, to have you spying on him.’ 

Soundwave didn’t really understand why Starscream found it so disturbing. Soundwave’s had Laserbeak spying on him (inside his processor, even!) for just about every second of the past five million years. Additionally, he can actually comprehend all the judgmental things she has to say whenever he behaves in a manner that she deems ‘cringe-worthy.’

OH YEAH !!!!!

Chapter Sneak-Peek:

“You know, Starscream… you’re definitely smart enough to read basic social cues.” Knock Out transforms back into his root mode, and turns away from the other mech. “When someone leaves a room and drives away from you at a hundred miles an hour, it usually means they want you to frag off.” 

“You’re hurting, Knock Out. I’m honestly sorry, that he’s gone. I also regret that I have to be the person who has to say that we still need you, that we can’t give you the time you deserve to handle this. I… understand how you feel.”

[sprkysheep414]

The real reason Knock Out had a millitary grade turret in the medical bay in my fic Asymptote... is that he kept putting really expensive supplies that were deemed non-essential on the company card. Pissing EVERYBODY off because he's handing out frame realignments to literally any Vehicon who asks. In fact he may actually be asking the Vehicons in advance if they want anything done.

YEAHHHHHH SECOND UPDATE IN TWO DAYS??? WE STAY HYPE!

Chapter sneak peek:

Starscream takes a little step back, servos raised, and Knock Out responds by jamming the syringe into his neck. The bot falls over with a concerningly loud crash, forced into deep stasis, no more than five seconds later. 

“What happened to— convincing him — to — come with — us?” Soundwave asks, incredulous. 

“... would’ve taken too long. Anyways, I spent all afternoon ‘making' my argument for New Cybertron!” Knock Out holds up the syringe, jauntily. It has the word ‘persuasion’ scrawled on it in permanent marker. 

‘We are not calling the new planet that!’ Laserbeak sends down the bond, along with a set of coordinates to bridge out a few of the remaining stragglers.

Me when I make STSC a PHD king (the P stands for Prince of Vos) :333 (Literally reporting on the most insanely mundane part of this hyper-essential chapter for spoiler reasons... LOL. Go read this one it's super good!)

Sneak peak quote:

  “Sorry, WHAT did you just say?” Starscream snorts, in disbelief. “You said you used metabolite isolation? On what? The protoforms ?” 

           Shockwave turned to Starscream. 

           “Perhaps you should let those more equipped to discuss this subject do the talking, Starscream. It would be the logical course of action— I do not have the time available to dedicate to ‘dumbing-down’ my language.” 

           “Who do you think you’re FOOLING? You’ve been the Nemesis’s science officer for less than a month — did you think no one was doing the job before you? I know what I’m talking about!” Starscream hisses, furiously. “Protoforms are not metabolites! You can’t throw around the words ‘metabolite isolation’ whenever you’re extracting ANYTHING! ‘Oh yeah… just crammed a pipette in my glass of Engex…whew, boy, I sure did isolate that metabolite!’"

CHAPTER SIX!!!! UPDATE!!! OUT!!!

YASSSSSSSS

[sprkysheep414]

Ft. this scribble I made for my fanfiction Asymptote. I swear Asymptote has a serious plot but I just love writing Laserbeak and Starscream having workplace beef so much.

This scene is just so cute, it's one of my favorites from earlier chapters... she was SOOO ready for him to come back. (So she could make fun of him more, of course.) I was just thinking about that chapter because in the one that I'm releasing tomorrow she's SOOOO mad at him for being alive and in her way. There are a record number of STSC disses back to back.

Including:

LORD TRASH HEAP

LORD SUDDENLY-A-SYCHOPHANT-AFTER-FOUR-MILLION-YEARS

&  PRINCE OF REPLACING 1,000,000 SHANIX WORTH OF EQUIPMENT IF HE TESTS MY PATIENCE

CHAPTER FIVE IS OUT!!!! LASERBEAK NATION UNITE!!!!

[sprkysheep414]

Chapter 5 Sneak-Peek for Asymptote!!!

‘I can’t believe Starscream’s not tried to kill the old bastard yet.’ Laserbeak complains, from within her dock. ‘This would be a pretty great time for a mutiny.'

Soundwave continues typing, his irritation growing. The mech in question is practically hovering over his shoulder, incessantly contacting Megatron with live updates on Soundwave’s work… not to mention all the constant “suggestions” and questions he keeps asking about what is being done.

PERCHANCE... CHAPTER #4 OF ASYMPTOTE IS OUT? ON A SCHOOL NIGHT, EVEN? AT 2AM, EVEN?

SNEAK PEAK QUOTE:

  "He’d nearly had the mech, when he received the comm. 

         ‘THIS UTTER FLOP OF A FRAIL OLD MECH WON’T STOP GRABBING MY WINGS! I’M 100% STRONGER THAN HIM AND DON’T NEED YOU… BUT, UM, I WOULD STILL APPRECIATE ASSISTANCE! FOR SENTIMENTAL REASONS ALONE! COORDS. ATTACHED!!!’ "

[sprkysheep414]

Very funny how I came up with the concept "Soundwave has a sadism graph specifically dedicated to times where his boss is a sadist dickhead and he gave it a name so he can refer to it in long, overdrawn prose because it's driving him nuts like some kind of 1800s gothic lit. heroine" and rolled with it like that didn't need any further explanation

SOUNDWAVE LOVERS OF THE WORLD: DO YOU WANT A NOVEL-LENGTH CHARACTER EXPLORATION FIC THAT DOES TFP SOUNDWAVE JUSTICE? DO YOU DESIRE... PERHAPS... A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SEASON 3 REWRITE OF TFP? DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE MOST 10/10 BAMF LASERBEAK CHARACTERIZATION EVER? (And an exploration of other less important and beloved characters such as Knock Out, Starscream, and Airachnid)

I PRESENT TO YOU... MY WIP "ASYMPTOTE" ON AO3:

Archive summary:

"The echoes of Megatron’s laughter still play back in his processor, again and again, mental feedback distorting the sound until it is nothing but a dull screech. What is he supposed to do, at this point? After he has wasted— millions of years, all on a pipe dream? A sunk cost? Perhaps THE sunk cost, the largest and grandest in Cybertronian history?"

This is a complete S3 rewrite with ENORMOUS canon divergence starting from the season 2 finale of Transformers: Prime, focusing on Soundwave's slow disillusionment with the Decepticon cause. Starscream + Knockout are also featured heavily, though the narrative is solely written from Soundwave's perspective. The first few chapters, following the catalyst of change, will take the reader through previous seasons' events in a "missing scenes" style narrative.
