After much lurking around, I decided to sign up and now say hello to you.^^

I know this theme was already done here some sort but I'm looking for TF fics which particular focus on the relationship between Optimus Prime and Prowl and/or Jazz – there aren’t that many, although they're (apparently) portrayed in most continuities as probably two of the most closest to Optimus.

So here would be my wantlist for these themes – okay, it’s also plotbunny list because they triggered a lot of images in my head. Hopefully they’ll do this in others, too. XD

1) Fics which focus on either OP/Prowl or OP/Jazz or even OP/Jazz/Prowl. I have nothing against slash or romantic ones, but it would be best if they didn't make the sex the center but a part of the story or if it isn't (too) sappy.

2a) I want to see a story where both Jazz and Prowl get an overly stressed/depressed/ burdened Optimus a break and release from both his sense of duty and responsibility, his bottled up feelings and the worries of the war - by taking control over. Completely. And they make him break down: Forcefully or insistently but not violently and not (only) out of their duty as officers, more as friends fearing for his health. It doesn't matter if it goes by them stripping OP officially down from his rank as the first step, so even (just as an example) Bluestreak could order him around, but I'd prefer if they carried it out in private, giving the situation a really intimate touch.

2b) Same thing, just in green aka role-reversed, with OP going at Jazz and Prowl at the same time; I know this would/could be quite hard to accomplish with OP sharing his attention on them both but I read once a fic in another fandom where such a constellation worked really well. I would also be happy with OP going just on Prowl or Jazz. It just shouldn’t be, like in the first version, with any violence or hurting.

4) The command trio getting stranded in a deserted area, with all their means of calling help disabled. The other problems: a) They have to hide because the Cons are looking for them and b) Prowl and Jazz have to take care of a badly wounded OP who can’t barely walk. Descriptions how the other Autobots handle the situation should be included. ^^

The last thing is rather an idea than an actual concept for a story.
Optimus is driven into a corner by the Cons threatening to kill the badly wounded Prowl/Jazz (or anyone from the Autobots). But different from what one would usually expect, as him trying it with diplomacy or anything peaceful, he surprises the Cons, with suddenly (because of the aforementioned reasons and also as he has enough of the Cons' haughty and cruel ways) going berserk – literally. He’s still enough in his mind to take out the most dangerous mechs to his soldiers first and not to hurt them either, but on the other hand takes more than half of the present Cons down in his fury.
And before he attacks, the Cons feel afraid as he suddenly radiates absolute wrath and when he looks up, everyone, even Megatron, back away when they see his optics. To give an even more concrete idea how mad OP is in this – a psychopathic, raging Sunstreaker would look like a puppy against him and run away in fear.

Just posting cause this is the continuation of "the Hamster Dance". They're all fairly short and prank-themed. I'm trying to work out an actual plotline so I can turn this into a fic. *grin*

(anyone know where I can find some more really annoying music? *snerk*)

anyway, here's part 2, 3, and 4:

I don't mean offense to anyone by this. I just pulled inspiration from stuff, whatever popped up in my headspace I wrote. The flame decal reference is kind of a reference to the 2007 movie. The Ratchet with red hair thing I just included cause I liked the idea. (I've seen a few TF's turned human pics on DevArt and thought it was neat. ;-p)
See, this is what happens having the hamster dance on my media player, set on 'repeat'

(is having waaaaay too much fun with this. XD)

yeah, yeah, *that* song. I remember how much fun writing "Ey, Macarena" was, and how annoying the Macarena is. Well, my Jazz muse has a new favorite song, just because it annoys the unholy slag out of Prowl. I heard the Hamster Dance and my Jazz muse started poking me (ow! stop it!) to write something. So, this happenned. I can't promise it's the best, but I'm just trying to bounce back from a really bad case of writer's block (and it didn't help that my Prowl muse was trying to get away from me the entire time) 

It's G-rated humorfic. 987 words. Only implied P/J. The journal post also has a sound file imbedded that auto-loads when the [page does (if you want to stop it, just hit the square stop button)

Hope you enjoy it!
