Backstory for the characters from the Ninjago Movie, because nobody's gonna explain it if the fandom doesn't. Updates very infrequent; rating is high end of T for some heavier thematic content. Newest chapter: In-movie chapter, on anniversary of movie.

Life was simple. My dad loved me, everybody else hated me. I didn't have friends, or a mom, or an uncle, and certainly not some prophecy about a Green Ninja hanging over my head. Life is complicated, and scary, and uncertain - but, for the first time in my life, I'm not lonely. It just may be worth it. -Movie-verse AU in which Garmadon raised Lloyd. Beta: Sunny Lighter.

It's the beginning of high school, and our favorite ninja are caught in the middle of teenage angst: the constant anxiety, the joys of trying to make friends, the ever present parent problems, and of course, the struggle of pretending to be a normal human teenager... Or maybe that last one's just Zane. Rated T for bullying and because I'm paranoid.

An alternate path to the episode "Partners". What if Starscream had actually "joined" up with the Autobots and tried to integrate into their Base life? This is that disaster...er...story...as well as a peek into Starscream's past.

Jay Walker's ordinary student life was turned around when he rescued an ownerless android from a violent protest. Now the boy's in way over his head as the two begin to discover some unsettling things behind everyone's favourite technology company, Borg Industries, and just how the android is connected to it.

The Manor of Rodimus Prime didn't pay nearly enough for what they required of him, especially when his past came rushing back. (post war)

High School AU! Lloyd is less than thrilled about the new foster kid that's going to be sharing his room, but even he wasn't prepared for emo teen Morro whose aspirations go no higher than dropping out of high school and torturing Lloyd for no apparent reason, not to mention Lloyd's hopeless crush on the most popular girl in school and that annoying conscience of his.

Starscream. Air Commander, Megatron's top lieutenant, excellent tactician (or so he claimed). Thundercracker. The Brooder, the Thinker. Skywarp. The Idiot. Megatron didn't see a problem.

Donatello put his empty coffee mug onto the table, and asked the question both Mikey and he had been wondering the entire time they were listening. "Casey, who are Leonardo and Raphael?" Based on the 2003 series.

Whirl steals untested stuff from Perceptor's lab to give to Rung. Rung is happy and amused. Why Whirl?

Primeverse, AU timeline after Toxicity, Sequel to Breaking Barriers; Having previously left the Decepticons, Knockout is finally starting to feel a bit more welcome amongst Team Prime.

Knock Out is slowly trying to adjust to life as an Autobot. Meanwhile a revelation from Ratchet sends him reeling. Discussion of abuse.

AU. When Raphael got captured, he expected pain. He expected hours of interrogation and torture. He was prepared for it. He wasn't prepared to find mercy at the hands of two young mutants who've been living in darkness for far too long. No OCs. Cover art by Fanbeing. Third Place for Most Intriguing AU, Most In-character Donatello and Second Place for Most In-character Raphael.

Knockout has enough trouble handling one Sideswipe-how will he react to two of them? Alternate take on the episode "The Great Divide," sequel to "Darkened Sparks."

Knockout, playing the part of a good Autobot, isn't supposed to leave the base and he ESPECIALLY isn't supposed to go street racing and endanger humans... But Miko insists that she HAS to experience this racing phenomenon for herself. And what kind of Autobot would he be if Knockout didn't try to accommodate his new human friend?

Sometimes Thundercracker isn't always the most fearsome Air Warriors of the Decepticon fleet, especially when caught up in a situation that tugs at his conscious. It's even worse when he has to explain himself to one of the most hated Autobot warriors!

The prison break was resolved years ago; the team has returned to Cybertron, and Sideswipe has moved on with his life. New adventures now await him and his growing family.

G1: Drag Strip wants to make a movie to show off how awesome Decepticons are, and he recruits the rest of his gestalt to help him. Oneshot. No pairings.

Hope you enjoy! COMPLETE

Busy with rebuilding Cybertron, Knock Out and Ratchet expand the array of their medical services to better serve the growing community. This is not necessarily greeted as a good thing by some mechs. (While you wait for updates you are welcome to pay visit to story Ice Cream which is a prequel to this little gem)

During the War for Cybertron, energon was scarce. Rationing was the way to survive. However, no one could predict its results on a developing bot. Drastic times call for drastic measures. (Cross-posted on Ao3)

Set after Sidekicks-Anonymous's "Vultures." Knockout's feeling particularly daring today, and wants to join a high caste race. Unfortunately for him, caste jumping isn't easy. And doubly unfortunate, he now seems to be stuck with a less-than-sane high caste femme. One-shot, may continue if I think it's good enough.

Lyrics do not belong to me.) Predacons and Seekers are naturally enemies. The former killed the latter like the Seekers were pests, but Predaking has his Seeker and is determined to share his company. Only Starscream has other plans, and that's when Nature takes it from there. ((Did this to get me back into the typing mood))

Breakdown has a nightmare. Join the snuggle pile!

Donnie has been making plans to fix one of his most iconic features. The gap in his teeth! SOMEONE STOP HIM!

Things aren't always what they seem. A brief contemplation from Knockout.

An old friend shows up out of the blue to join Bumblebee's team. Bee's not complaining-he can use all the help he can get-but something doesn't feel right about the mech's explanation. That, combined with Sideswipe's reaction, raises Bumblebee's suspicions. What's the real reason Knockout came-and what does Sideswipe have to do with it? Rated for possible future fight scenes

Kup is an old mech with a lot of knowledge, but he finds himself clueless with the arrival of an orphan. Will an old dog learn some new tricks? Or will he give up the task to someone "more capable".

A series of prompt based drabbles focusing on our favorite trine, from Skywarp's new pet to Thundercracker's sweet tooth and Starscream's views on champagne. [Rated for strong language and implications.]

Knock Out had never been the most social since joining the Autobots, but sometimes even Ratchet worries. Predacons Rising spoilers, death mentioned.

What if the Decepticon, known as Stinger was a femme? What if she still lived after the battle? Stinger is back, and not at all happy with the Autobots when they find her.

Post Inside Job, Smokescreen has a question based on his experience as a prisoner for Ratchet, which deeply unsettles the old medic. It reminds him how, despite training and war, some 'Bots are really just younglings. *ON HIATUS*

"I think you missed your calling," Arcee remarked one night on hall patrol, and she came before Starscream's cell again. [Pre-series AU.]

With the Decepticos possessing three trines of Seekers to the Autobot's none, is there a non-lethal way to put the Deceoticon air Force out of commission? While looking through old medical information, Ratchet thinks the answer could be yes.

Starscream has another "bright" idea. This time it involves creating giant Scraplet super soldiers! Knock Out thinks it's a bad idea and Shockwave agrees. So why has Megatron approved the project? Set some time after Thirst. Based on a picture by Shenanicons on deviantART.

Knock out has always been an egotistic mech and appears to have no intention of changing even though he has sided with the Autobots. Ratchet has always been a short-tempered and no nonsense kind of bot. But what would happen if they had to become the adoptive creators of a very sick and young sparkling caught in the affects of an acid rain storm? Will they rise to the challenge?

His only option is to enter service as a "contractor", an indentured servant, in exchange for his contractee paying off his debt. He hopes only to fix his financial situation and eventually be able to start over. What he'll get, however, is so much more. AU, consensual servitude, fluff, poly

COMPLETE.

Hiding alone on a hostile planet can be scary for a small, easily frightened mech like Sideways. It's only natural that he'd want a friend to protect him.

Once again Frenzy found himself wishing he was Rumble, because *Rumble* would never have let himself be tempted to join the enemy.
