Summary
When she pulled back, concerns about Wolfwood’s health satisfied, it was Vash who spoke up next. “What happened to your earring?”
“What?”
“Your earring.” He gestured vaguely at the side of her head. “When did that happen? I thought you were hiding during the shootout.”
Meryl's earring breaks after a gun-filled conflict with some men at the bar. She's more upset about this than she feels she should be, but Vash and Wolfwood take it upon themselves to help cheer her up.

Summary
She grabbed the one closest to her first, a mystery novel that seemed to hold a promising twist at the end. But when she made her way to the other end of the store to grab that second book she wanted, she was surprised to see Wolfwood there, holding it.
“Wait, do you like romance novels?” she asked in surprise.
“What’s it to ya? A guy can’t enjoy romance?” Despite the nonchalance of his words, Meryl could see a little red flush creeping up the back of his neck and could hear some defensiveness sneaking into his tone.
“No, no, it’s not that.” She held up her hand not holding a book reassuringly. “I was just going to buy that exact one!”
She saw some of the tense set to his shoulders lessen. “Yeah?”
A small, run-down town in the middle of nowhere has a bookstore. To everyone’s surprise, Meryl and Wolfwood find some things in common there.

i’ll be the sweetest thing (to ever scare you) by inoreuct

Summary
“You’re a weakness,” Megatron whispers, voice grainy. His servo shakes where it lays palm-up on his thigh. “I should have killed you. Been done with you once and for all.”
“Then do it.” Optimus quirks his optical ridges as he reaches out and wraps digits around the mech’s wrist. He plants Megatron’s cold, hard fist right under his chin, replays the bitter memory of staring down the barrel of a cannon, and meets Megatron right in the optics. “If it’s what you want, I won’t stop you.”
“…It would kill me, too.” The mech’s mouth barely moves, like it’s a confession torn right from his spark. “It would kill the only part of me left that’s worth saving.”
Optimus goes back to the bunker.
(You don’t give up on people you love.)

Summary
He pretends that the reason all his fans are on high is because they’re in the middle of a battle. He’s winded, of course. Nothing at all to do with the fact that Optimus, with his knightly blades and his proton axe had used Megatron’s gun to make a fragging magnificent shot and said gun had listened to him on a biomechanical level—
“Gimme,” he snaps, shaking an outstretched servo impatiently.
“Alright, alright, it’s not gonna run away,” Optimus says under his breath, ex-venting heavily as he gets to his pedes and hands over what is now once again a regular-degular handgun.Megatron has another nightmare. Optimus fires his gun. These two things are unrelated.
(Or perhaps not.)

Summary
Optimus Prime is young. Too young. By Cybertronian standards, he is barely an adult. He is far too young and the world asks so much of him.
“You have to lead us,” they say. “Primus chose you.”
I don't know how to lead, he wants to say. I barely even know how to mine.
Or: Optimus struggles with leading his people to war, and his new position as Prime. (It's all okay in the end.)

Summary
He loved Pax. Loves Pax. It aches like a bruise, raw and tender, an empty space in his chassis where there’s room for another that’s no longer there. He would have given Pax the spark from his chest, let the mech pull him apart piece by piece and thank him for it—
Orion Pax had been a weakness. Megatron can’t afford weaknesses.
He lifts his chin and walks away.
(He’d killed Pax.)
(Some nights, he wonders if he’d killed D-16 too.)
Megatron has a nightmare after... everything. They've been happening often, lately.
Optimus passes out on a battlefield.
They talk.

The Problem with Portals by hailsatanacab

Summary
Okay, so Danny’s first attempt at a portal isn’t what one would call a success.
Unfortunately, instead of opening into a relatively safe (if incredibly underwhelming) cave, it splits a hole right into a great ocean of ectoplasm in the Ghost Zone, which promptly begins to flood the space around them.
It’s up to their ankles in seconds as gallons of foaming green water surge through the opening, with a thundering roar like waves crashing upon the shore.
“Uh…” Both he and Wulf just stare, watching with wide eyes as the day just gets worse and worse.
“Wulf!” Knocking himself out of his trance, Danny turns towards him and flaps his arms in panic. Oh, shit! This isn’t good! There’s no way this amount of ectoplasm in the material world is healthy, he’s going to be in so much trouble! What the hell are they meant to do? “Help!”
Originally written for dpxdc week 2022 for the prompt "Wulf teaches Danny how to open portals. It does not go to plan."
