I have read your work several times by now and it always moves me. This time, I thought I could give you a comment specifically on Yellowstripe.

To put it simply, he's very good choice for a traitor and very well written. He's multilayered, not evil but still has done horrendous things. He's a perfect example of a mech driven to the corner until he's so desperate he'll do absolutely ANYTHING. I pity him, mostly. He truly loved Prowl, but still mercilessly manipulated him into the situation he's now. And all these actions make perfect sense for him to do asa character.

I respect your way of building this situation. It was a very pleasing surprise that Prowl's creators were too loving as rulers. It worked beautifully into Prowl loving them more than anything but also affecting his view of what a ruler should be.

His suffering through all the fics you've written (I've read the latest one on AO3) is tangible and manages to touch me every time. But in these first chapters, where Prowl receives a hit after devastating hit... it gives me goosebumps, it's just that good. And through this all, he continues to drag himself together, to find ice and determination to do what he needs to... he's a character I have a lot of respect for. And nothing is more important to me in a fic than having a main character I can admire.

Truly, I've come to love this story. When I feel like reading something GOOD, I come back to this. This is one of those thing I value in my heart, which stays in my mind as a precious jewel of a story...

Thank you for writing it, I can't wait to read more about Prowl, what is going to happen to him after Smokescreen... or how his relationship with Jazz will develop. There is so much Jazz can do for him, he must be suffering still, even after vorns.

In Celebration, Smokescreen is bonded and had already had twins, but I wonder about his relationship with Prowl. Is Prowl still as lonely as he was at the end of the kidnapping? If so, he must be on one level very desperate for his relationship with Jazz to work, to bond with him so he'd FINALLY have someone he could trust. But on other hand, he's probably so very afraid to do so. Not to mention I doubt he remembers how to approach someone, he probably has no idea how to even begin to trust someone.

It's probably all up to Jazz. Good thing he's determined to make something of their relationship. He's trying to reach Prowl and Prowl is probably doing what he can to reach back, what with encouraging Jazz with his studies, the gestures at the Celebration, how he let Jazz do some of the work.

I kinda hope someone, like Orion/Optimus, Smokescreen or one of Prowl's guards would offer some insight for Jazz about Prowl.

Yes, I'm head over heels in love with this fic. So, again, THANK YOU for writing it!

Whoa. That chapter gave me chills. I feel so bad for Prowl that he now has to destroy those who he considered family but I loved it when Prime himself gave his support to Prowl. That was awesome!

Well I have hope for little Bluestreak, poor little bitlet in a bit of a mess because his sire and carrier's side of the family where greedy for power, I feel for poor prowl having to go through all that I can understand why he's so mad at bluejet (was that Bluestreak's sires name? Not always good with names is I) bluejet is to upset for their dead bondmate and is too selfish to see it from prowl's point of view like Bluestreak's uncle can see how much prowl has been hurt (is is why he became such a monster, you can see they turned him into this so called monster, prowl isn't so much of a heartless monster to me he does have a heart it's just been ripped out and Brocken, and broken hearts don't always heal well when left in pieces and no one trying to help it heal) I just hope Jazz will be able to bring some light and love back to that poor hurt heart of prowl's

Wonder what kind of offspring Jazz and Prowl would have now it's pointed out Bluestreak is already around in this universe, some people do write Strongearm (from the transformers cartoon robots in disguise (got to love her she's awesome) ) and Chase (from transformers cartoon transformers rescue bots) as their kids (I remember one or two small fan stories one shots I read on AO3 I liked where Strongearm and chase where prowl and Jazz's offspring chase was the oldest and Strongearm the younger one and Prowl was the sire and Jazz the carrier it was cute, the writer didn't write much about when jazz was carring ether of them just that he had carried them but still cute) man I always love to read about how prowl handle it when Jazz is carring his spackling but people don't write that as much they write to much with prowl as the carrier and as fun as that is to read I'd like to see a few more where Jazz is the carrier with maybe a touch of prowl fussing over jazz, oh and with what prowl has gone through here I'd be very surprise if he wasn't fussing over jazz when he's spacked with his offspring, jazz would be a little overwhelm by it the 1st time but expect it by the 2nd and be a little over it but understanding I think

Anyway you have me hook on needing to know what happens next

I'm Crying, its so good, but its so sad...
thank you for writing this, its a wonderful story and the world you created is amazing. i am always so happy to see you up date or put out another installation of the series. I cant wait to read Jazz's part and then The Celebration again, and then from the start again.
Your Prowl is such a different approach to the 'classic' Prowl i find. Hes the cold distant, hard working bot, but it came out of this story, which is unique.
Your original characters are just as good as any official guys out there, and we readers just saw to wonderful chapters from an oc's pov, thoughts,and feelings that prove it.
Its beautiful.

Good luck writing,
Stedler

As always, I am impressed with the depth of story and character you create. This was a fitting and very sober ending/epilogue for this particular story. I hope to see Greymist again and I hope he manages to redeem himself... Poor Bluestreak. Will he be crossing paths with Prowl again? I mean, he must if Bluestreak is going to give the oath... But I wonder what Bluestreak must think of Prowl, who killed his creators? I want to see that moment in time... And I want to hope for a good resolution, but I'm afraid it might not be possible.

As always, I am looking forward to your next installment in this universe. :-)

I love your stories. They always have so much emotion in them. :D Just based on the title of your next story makes me so excited for it. Keep up the good work

Thanks for returning to Flipper/Scrapper. It is good to know that Prowl had certainly not forgotten him.

A surprising and sweet ending to a wonderful story:).Well, as sweet as it can be with all the war and whatnot.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH i love it

I hope we all get to see prowl happy in the of the other stories

this is gonna get goooood

Poor prowl goes through so much, liking forwords when jazz shows up to make prowl's life a lot better

I love this story!

Poor poor prince prowl

Exquisite job so far on this whole universe I rather enjoy it quite a bit. Such is a story I would follow till the end. I am not quite sure though on what to think of Yellowstripe during Prowl's questioning he just confused me at times he was nice others he was downright mean and other times psychotic so from all I have gathered he is a high functioning sociopath. Poor Prowl through this whole thing.
