Summary
In Starscream’s honest (and very humble) opinion, this was one of the worst days of his life.
And that’s against some very steep competition, you know! Millennia upon millennia of having the worst luck known to Cybertron and beyond really lends itself to a never-ending stream of horrible events that all culminate into an ever-present world-weariness and severe paranoia, all channeled into one (unfortunately small) seeker.
Today in particular, though, seemed to deviate from his usual pattern of bad luck, in the form of an irate Autobot.

Another tfp Starscream redemption fic, what more could you want? I don't take myself too seriously, so neither should you.
This is my first fic ever, so formatting advice, critique, and funny insults are encouraged.
(Title from The Fall by half•alive, which is a song I believe describes Starscream and any potential redemption of his quite well)

Summary
Orion Pax is now in Vos, trying his very best not to get maimed and/or assassinated during his visit while meeting up with his mate-to-be Prince Star—oh, what was that? No one can get ahold of Starscream long enough to facilitate a meeting? And his trine is helping him play keep-away with the royals of both polities?
Well, that sounds nice.

Summary
Starscream of Vos, entirely against his will, has been promoted to the crown prince and is next in line to become the Winglord after many an unfortunate circumstances had resulted in the rest of Lord Ozone’s next-of-kin to be rendered ineligible for the throne.
With any hope of a career in the sciences thoroughly dashed, Starscream is only further incensed by the revelation that, along with a title he never wanted, he is also expected to fix the long-simmering tensions between Vos and Iacon in the only method they’ve left to try: Political bonding.
Hopefully Starscream's trine can convince him to abstain from murdering his elected suitor long enough to avoid a planet-wide war.

Summary
Starscream has finally taken a leap of faith and became the most famous turncoat the Decepticons ever had, joining the Autobots in every aspect besides name, and—generally, vaguely, by a very tiny margin borne only of having to choose between two horrible options and one deadly one—is doing alright.
Unfortunately, his decision brought with it a few unexpected(-ish) consequences; both internal and external.

Summary
Starscream's life gets turned upside down when he almost dies in what was supposed to be a normal boarder patrol. Now he has to deal with—*eugh*—the Autobots, and their annoying and endless wealth of kindness. Honestly, was this an army or a hugbox?

Summary
“I am not here to give you flattery or gentle words; I am here to address the near-irreparable harm that has been enacted in the name of ignorance and fear. Together, we are here to unveil the Embassy which will, I earnestly hope, be the first step in repairing that harm. This path may be difficult and its steps treacherous,” Daniel paused, “but we will walk it together. For the good of the We-Who-Are-Infinite as much as for you, One-Among-Many.”
“Now,” and here his smile turned wide and wry, his hands rising in front of him as if to cup the air, “I give to you our Embassy.”
His cupped hands fell open in a gesture like a blooming lotus.
The camera flickered and then - there was, in truth, the Embassy.
***
or,Nothing is as simple as a single rescue, and nothing is without consequence. Red Robin learns as much when he is roped into an ambassadorship for the Living. If he's lucky, he'll navigate the politics, raids, and even social media - and land himself a diplomatically fraught boyfriend while he's at it.

Summary
Dick Grayson hugs the way most people breathe: easy and natural, like it's a necessary part of living.
Tim's wrapped up in one now, his brother's arms all the way around his shoulders, tugging him in close.
He's never told Dick that the first hug he can remember is that day at the circus, from a stranger who would in time be family. He's never told Dick that the next hug he remembers after that is nine years later, caught up in those same strong arms. He thinks he'd rather die than admit it.
"You're not hurt?" Dick is saying. "Nothing cruel and unusual, right?"
"She only let me have one cup of coffee a day," says Tim, very dry, and Dick makes a strange sort of a sound, almost a laugh, and tightens his hold so much it sweeps Tim right off his feet.

Summary
There, underneath a crevice in the boulder he had shot at, was a familiarly colored yellow and black Autobot who had recently joined said faction despite his very young age. What the fuck was a Mechling doing on the battlefield like this?!
Starscream’s jaw clicked shut as he realized that even if this Youngling was an enemy, it was still just that. A fragging Youngling. It would be best to leave it here, seeing as there were no Decepticons around.
——
OR: In Which Starscream finds a young Bumblebee on a planet before Earth and, several years later, proceeds to get adopted by Optimus Prime.
