Your response to the "emotional labour of transformers porn" post was almost identical in July 2023 and I think that's beautiful

How many hollows does it take for you to feel satiated?

"Mm... a lot. As Master Nnoitra said, it's highly dependent on the size and strength of the Hollow we eat; the more reishi that composes the being, the more filling the meal. It also depends on the appetite of the Arrancar. Master Nnoitra has an ideal biological situation for the desert, and a fairly decent meal can tide him over for days or weeks at a time. I, on the other hand...

Well, despite my humanoid appearance as an Arrancar, I still share an appetite with my true size, my Resurrección, Verruga.

In that form, I'm massive, somewhere around 14 ft tall and... Lords, I have no idea how heavy...! With an appetite to keep a body that big going... I eat a lot. I can hunt and eat for hours, sometimes...

If I don't eat for more than a day or two, I become insatiable, deliriously starving... I'll black out and begin eating anything organic I can reach in an attempt to sate my hunger. It's... truly something to behold. I only worry I may hurt people I care about if they're too close."

What Fortune Favors by @fascinationex doodle

If you're cool with graphic violence, please read this fic. It's really fun and well written~ The action scenes read like an anime.

MECH is up to trouble again and kidnaps Breakdown and Bulkhead. Knockout and Miko team up to save them. Miko get the chance to be in the heat of battle like she's always wanted, but she quickly learns it's not as fun as it looks in movies.

Have you read ‘The One Where Itachi and Deidara are Soulmates’ by fascinationex? Itachi and Deidara are soulmates but Itachi doesn’t know and Deidara is very mad about it. It is unfortunately unfinished but it’s still (in my opinion) worth the read. It is locked to users on ao3.

Yeah I’ve

I’ve seen it…. Read it a few times……. 👉👈

[bad-tf-fic-ideas]

just out of curiosity, is this a bot account?

No, it's run by @fascinationex, who, as far as I know, is human. More or less.

The first night on the Nemesis was... strange. Orion Pax felt like an invasive species, watched and managed with every step he took through the dimly lit, labyrinthine corridors.

Creators are revealed!

For the microchip flash I tried my hand at some amnesic-Orion-Pax era MegOp.

Simpatico | Brainstorm x Perceptor FIC Recs

✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬

@fascinationex Simpatico Fics

(Literally just all of them. But for my top favorites.)

A Record of the Eating Days | Ongoing | 12/? | E

Summary: In which Brainstorm takes a stopgap job as a cleaner and becomes attached to a very dangerous lab specimen--one he's not even meant to know about.

🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬

The One Where Brainstorm And Percy Go To A Conference | Complete | 1/1 | E

Summary: For the prompt, "🤔 percy and bstorm go to a science conference, no one gets/believes that they're dating, smh"

✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️

The one where Brainstorm sends Perceptor off to work with a sex toy like it's a packed lunch | Complete | 1/1 | E

Summary: :I packed something for you,: Brainstorm commed him, once he was already on the shuttle.

Perceptor's first instinct was to lunge for his pack in case something exploded.

🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬

the sealpatico au | Series | G-E

Summary: Perceptor is a marine scientist working in the Arctic. Brainstorm is a frightfully clever, mammalian polar mermaid. Chromedome and Rewind have a television show on a cable channel where they're supposed to be documenting orcas. This series is heavily focused on the mermaid stuff but we learn about other characters along the way.

✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️

heart's still beating, guess I'm pretty lucky | @sroloc--elbisivni | Complete | 4/4 | T

Summary: Brainstorm was silent, field indicating nothing. Perceptor calculated whether it would be more logical or illogical to wait, and concluded the latter. Brainstorm made rapid decisions, and had not formerly needed encouragement to voice them, but that had been millions of stellar cycles ago. “I would appreciate promptness in your rejection.”

“Who said anything about rejecting?” Brainstorm tipped his head to the side. “I’m just trying to make sure I’ve got this straight in my processor. You performed ethically dubious, untested, methodologically uncertain engineering on yourself. Because you missed me.”

Perceptor deleted all of his emotions for a reason. After the Quintesson threat leads Optimus Prime to push through the Autobot-Decepticon Alliance, that reason no longer applies. Fixing the situation is going to take some trial and error...and a self-proclaimed genius.

🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬

The Left Side of the Lab | prisonmechanic | Complete | 8/8 | M

Summary: Preceptor takes a job in Iacon without reading the fine print. He very much regrets this.

Brainstorm has a large decision to make- expose himself and thousands of others and solve the fuel crisis or stay chained to a lab desk for the rest of his functioning. But Brianstrom Has always been good at creative solutions; Much to Perceprtor's dismay.

✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️

Hazard Light | cerkowah, @eatyoursparkout, @emporianne | Complete | 1/1 | T

Summary: In the aftermath of the time travel incident, Perceptor made a resolution to get to know his lab partner better. He didn’t anticipate that he’d grow so fond of Brainstorm in the process. Blindsided by a rare and deadly illness, he realizes that he’s miscalculated the depths of his regard.

Perceptor is determined to study and cure the disease with Brainstorm none the wiser. Unfortunately, feelings have never been his area of expertise.

(Hanahaki AU)

🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬

and the other | @polyhexian | Complete | 1/1 | E

Summmary: "Wow, you've had new emotion protocols installed for like a day and you're already developing new fetishes," Brainstorm commented, "Lucky thing they're fetishes for me specifically."

✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️🔬✈️

you can touch (you can play) | badskeletonpuns, thevosboss | Complete | 1/1

Summary: “Ah, there you are, Brainstorm. I had a question for you about—ah. You seem…busy.” The lab's sudden guest—Perceptor—came fully into view, stopped in his tracks by the scene of Brainstorm leaning against a workbench covered in interface arrays. Brainstorm tried his best to keep heat from rising to his cheeks, especially as Perceptor cutely tilted his head and quirked a brow. “What…exactly are you doing?”

Fragging myself for science, Brainstorm thought. “Building spike and array mods for the crew, by request,” he said instead.

As an MTO, Brainstorm wasn't constructed with an array. In a fit of inspiration after a Perceptor-fueled recharge flux, he decides to fix this. Perceptor probes at his experiment, and Brainstorm finds answers to questions he hadn't even thought to ask.

The Haunting of Megatron’s Dick by fascinationex

aghshsjs thank you

[fuckyeahtransformersfanfic]

Pairings; Skystar, MC: Either Starscream or Skyfire (Jetfire), Continuity: anything but live action or idw2, long fic.

Sorry for the delay everyone! Getting active again!

💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠💠

My instant thought is Kiyoko_Michi's two fics: Tangled Destiny and Crossroads. Both are kind of role swap AUs for G1 in different contexts.

Tangled Destiny by Kiyoko_Michi

Fate is a fickle thing. Sometimes, all it takes is a little push, and everything changes. Skyfire didn't crash in the storm- Starscream did. The war continues on.

SkyStar | G1 | T | Complete | 140k+ | 31/31

Mainly Skyfire's point of view and very interesting take on how he would have handled the build up to the war and being in Starscream's role.

Crossroads by Kiyoko_Michi

After decavorns under the ice, Skyfire wakes up to a very different universe and struggles to survive in a war he doesn't understand. Alone. Meanwhile, in the Autobot ship, a certain Seeker is recovering from his own stasis... (An AU in which both Explorers crash in the storm and are discovered by different factions. Based on a prompt by officialbumblebee)

SkyStar | G1 | T | Complete | 85k+ | 87/87

This is literally one of my favorite G1 SkyStar fics and the first one I had ever read. The point of view switches between Starscream and Skyfire each chapter.

Baird Crevan's SkyStar/JetStar fics are also excellent.

Exchanging Fire by Baird Crevan (@bairdcrevan)

Starscream discovers that Jetfire is actually from a parallel universe that is a mirror opposite of his own. He decides to enlist help from the mirror dimension to take him down and bring his Skyfire home, only the shuttle is reluctant to leave. Starscream x Skyfire, former Starscream x SGJetfire, SGJetfire x SGStarscream.

SkyStar/JetStar, StarStar | WFC & SG | M | Complete | 54k+ | 20/20

This one is definitely a bit darker than the other two so far given it is WFC Trilogy AND Shattered Glass also has some Starscream/SG!Starscream if that isn't your cup of tea. Overall I really enjoyed it though.

All's Well That Ends Well by Baird Crevan (@bairdcrevan)

The war is coming to an end but Starscream is being an aft about it. He threatens to start the war up again, so Megatron arranges to have him conjunxed to an Autobot to undermine his power. Of course, falling (back) in love with the Autobot would be ridiculous. Right?

SkyStar | G1 | E | Complete | 21k+ | 15/15

I can't not mention the arranged marriage SkyStar. It is a requirement.

skystar on earth Series by fascinationex (@cardio-vore)

An Au where Starscream and Skyfire stay on Earth the entire time and have no idea about the war until it lands there.

SkyStar | G1 | G-E | Ongoing | 12k+ | 6 Works

An Attraction to Shiny Things (And Shuttles) by ambustested (@ambustested)

When Skywarp is framed for a murder he didn't commit, Starscream decides the only way to prove his trinemate's innocence is to go undercover looking for evidence to exonerate him- by working as a cat burglar for the biggest underground rare metal/gem ring in Cybertron. His next hit is his largest, Skyfire of Altihex, famed geologist who often donates his findings to museums all across Iacon and is rumored to have an extensive private collection.

SkyStar | T | Complete | 17k+ | 3/3

Great addition from an author I just enjoy in general. And it is a Big Bang and has fantastic art from @starsh0ck.

[hotmothsummer]

@fascinationex I found your sealpatico au and consequently somehow lost 5 hours of my life idk what happened all I can remember is seals. I’m also admitting I have no idea what brainstorm looks like in canon but I am passionate about creatures and speculative biology so this is all I have to offer you. I cannot accurately draw ur faves but I can spit up a concept of what I think a seal mermaid might look like. Excellent au!!!!! highly entertaining to spin around in my head !!!

[microwave-in-a-bind]

Robot-mad-scientist themed collection: Brainstorm and Perceptor! I love all three of these works, and I'm really happy with how the cover turned out!

Hazard Light by EatYourSparkOut In Which Brainstorm and Perceptor Take A Nap by fascinationex heart's still beating, guess I'm pretty lucky by Sroloc_Elbisivni

Had a few different ideas about the cover design, but ended up going with a more abstract pattern in each of their main colors. The stripes are made of cardstock, glued down with PVA glue. This was my first time attempting patterns like this for a book cover, and it went remarkably smoothly, other than one accidental cut on my hand with an exacto knife (got a bandaid on and it was fine)(that's what I get for working with exacto knives at 1am)

LOST FICS

I am looking for a fic that has harry potter going back in his eleven year old body after the second war (I guess?) Or he could also not be back in his eleven year body but some other year. I just know that he was master of death and he stood up to snape when he was being an arse to him. Harry time traveled back in time, I vividly remember the scene. Harry was in a potion class and snape as usual was being an arse and harry thought maybe he wouldn't be harsh on him or even change but no snape was still an arse to him and harry had enough so he called snape a Bastard who was pathetic and wouldn't move on from his gurge and he walked out and refused to attended the class unless snape apologized for his behavior and promise not to do it again. Hermione and Ron tried to pursue harry with other professors as well, but he was adamant about it and refused to attend potion class, at last Dumbledore called harry and snape in his office and tried to solve it but snape was still an arse. [FOUND: Resurrect The Living by fascinationex]

i've been trying to find this fic for years now and have had no luck. it's a fanfic about how harry has 2 personalities (assumed it was from the horcrux but not explicitly stated) and he was so much smarter because of it. In it, harry is a ravenclaw, Hermione is a slytherin, and so is Fred but idk about George. Also snape gets eaten by a basilisk and the basilisk is named hedwing. Also, harry creates a potion to turn some boys into girls so Daphne doesn't have to marry Theo nort. Last I checked it was uncompleted and I'm pretty sure it changed its name.

Hello! I've been trying to find this fanfiction on Ao3 for a while with no luck. It is a Dark Lord/Harry fanfiction, and possibly completed. I remember it having a pretty high word count. Vaguely, I can remember that Bellatrix and Harry dueled in front of the Inner Circle Death Eaters and Voldemort, and though Harry struggled for the most part, I'm pretty sure he won. I vividly remember Draco yelling at him for talking to Daphne. Harry thinks that Draco has a crush on Daphne, but Draco kisses Harry instead. Harry pushes him away.

Hey! I'm not sure if you already have the fic here, but am anyways asking. I'm looking for fem!Harry/Tom fic. It's on ao3, multi-chaptered and completed. It's name is something like The Rise of _____ What I remember from it after her sixth year, Harry (I think her name is different) leaves Britain, goes to America with Sirius, studies in Ilvermorny, she's in contact with Death who helps her against Dumbledore (it's a bad!Dumbledore one) anyway before leaving I think she was in contact with Tom, who now kinda randomly shows up to 'woo' her, she's also good friends with Draco, Narcissa and Bellatrix (calles her Auntie Trixie) It's not a very old fic, completed sometime b/w 2021-23

the fic im searching for Harry gives Tom permission to do whatever he wants. It was multichaptered and finished. At one point there’s a Harry/Cedric bit but Tom admits that he would rather not see anybody touch Harry that way again and I think he obliviates Cedric? Also Tom and Harry get frisky on the side of the quidditch shed in a fit of jealously due to Ginny. At the end the order tries something and makes Harry’s cat sick and he gets almost kidnapped by leaving. [FOUND: anything & everything by exarite]

Hi there! This blog is AMAZING. I was delighted to be recced. I need some help looking for a fic on fanfiction.net that I highly suspect has been deleted, but am still hoping it may be my sub-par searching skills. It is a multichapter ongoing story, and had maybe two chapters up when I read it. The main characters are Harry Potter and Tom Riddle in a hospital setting (it may be St. Mungos). Harry is a star (like a literal celestial star) in the body of a child, which has a lot of problems containing him, and is hence in a state of near-death. He coughs blood. Tom Riddle's mother is also long-term hospitalized and he comes to visit her. This is how they end up meeting in the hispital. (And all I remember of the story). Pretty sure it was on ff.net between 2009 and 2012. I never could find it again.

For the fandom ask! 4, 12, and 17 ✨️

4. say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)

There aren't really a lot I actively don't ship - will enjoy almost any ntuple for any n with enthusiasm, given the right narrative premise etc etc. (Your bruticaid fic, for a classic example there, and @fascinationex's sealpatico, and @cleverthylacine's Ravwave/assorted cast of others). For the (counts on fingers) three that I cope less well with in general: SkyStar offers such excellent opportunities for academic tomfoolery; some JazzProwl has lovely stuff about learning to live with someone beloved but very different from oneself, and has inspired so much stuff there must be something in it; StarOP has almost unparalleled opportunities for comedy around differences in underlying assumptions. And all of them provide excellent bases for ntuples (Jazz/Prowl/Soundwave; MegaStarOP; SkyStar/Thundercracker/Skywarp)...

12. compliment someone else in your fandom

this is a let-me-count-the-ways thing as well; almost everyone I read on AO3 or follow on here is brilliant. Forced to pick one: @decepti-thots for the detailed analysis and the sheer enthusiasm and the absolutely gorgeous outfit that it put up a photo of at TFNation.

17 the thing in canon that everyone loves and that you also love

The sheer insanity of G1 cartoon, and the Unicron Singularity...

[eatyoursparkout]

For the anon who asked about fav authors! I accidentally yeeted your ask before it was finished, my bad lmfao. Anyway, fav book authors are Le Guin and Pratchett. As for fic, an incomplete list of ppl whose work I consistently enjoy:
