  Summary

  This is more or less self-indulgent, but I also wanted to share it because I love this pair!

  ~ expect inconsistent updates ~

  All events here take place in my DECEPTICON ISLAND AU (which I am planning on rewriting/editing heavily, with this story being the exception!)

  • I have no idea what other tags to add

  Summary

  that would likely do more harm than good if they actually met more than once.

  Another gift fic, this time a crossover between two AUs – “Beyond Our Badges” featuring alternate!Starscream and alternate!Phantomjaw (by me) and “Voice of the Unheard” featuring Bumblebee/Shadestrike and Knockout (by Devira) – enjoy!
