Summary
“I’ll guard you for a night,” Hob says, “and say I please you, you can either pay me for a day’s work, or keep me on ‘til you reach where you’re going.”
“Do you know the way to Canterbury?” the lord asks, and Hob nods.
“Oh, yes. It’s a few days’ ride, not more than three or four, by my memory.”
“Then you shall have three days to please me, Robert Gadling.”
In 1389, known mercenary and bandit Hob Gadling offers to escort a strange lord to Canterbury, and wagers that he can guess the man's name in three days.

Summary
The gray mech locked optics with him. The scrutinizing crimson, winged helm, large chassis, and angled shoulderplates all came together to form a powerful figure. Orion almost couldn’t equate this bot with the one who had been kneeling at Darkwing’s pedes just a few solar-cycles previous.
Did he know..?
“I know what you did,” the mech rumbled.
“Ah.”
*
Megatronus is a miner, just trying to keep his numbers up, and his helm down. This becomes more difficult when he befriends Orion Pax– fellow miner, and self-described anti-functionalism-pacifist. Nobody could guess that their meeting would spiral into the most brutal and long-standing conflict in Cybertronian history.

Summary
"I don’t know how to ask this gracefully but have you been engaging in any - ahem - intimate relations lately?”
Prime stiffened, answering in an unusually strained tone. “You know the answer to that, Ratchet. I’m a vessel for the will of Primus, I don’t ‘engage in relations’.”
“See, I do know that which is why I’m confused as to how I’m looking at a sparkling here.”
----
After millions of years, Megatron and Optimus Prime are finally forced to confront their messy, tangled relationship.

Summary
Defeated and dragged back to the world he called home in chains, Megatron can do no more than endure. A rescue from Cybertron itself is almost impossible; he is forced to face the possibility that the Decepticon cause is lost, and that he will end his days as an Autobot experimental subject.
Optimus's hero's welcome is shortlived. Deemed too radical and ousted from the position of Magnus on a technicality, he struggles to keep those he cares about safe from the Council's manipulations and Sentinel Prime's ambition, a struggle that will cost him more than he believed possible.
General Strika contemplates a future without her leader, and finds it bleak. If the General of Destruction is to pull the Decepticon Cause's skidplate out of the scrappile, she's going to have to do a lot of thinking outside the box.
Ratchet learns the true uses to which his research has been put, and begins to wonder if the Decepticons had the right idea. When the extents to which Optimus has been forced come to light, Ratchet makes the decision that might save them all or damn him further.
