Hat Writes Stuff

Title: Save the World (to Conquer it Later)
Author: Almighty Hat
Fandom: Transformers Beast Wars
Characters: Starscream, Blackarachnia, Silverbolt, Dinobot (though effectively 80% of the cast either has lines or is mentioned)
Word Count: 8,385
Rating: PG for canon-typical violence and occasional thought processes
Pairing(s): Technically Blackarachnia/Starscream, potential pre-Blackarachnia/Silverbolt
Warnings: Canon-typical violence, including explosions and the aftermath of a violent dismembering.

Author's Notes: So one day I asked myself, "What if Starscream never lost control of Waspinator at the end of Possession?" Assuming he could downplay his own treachery in Possession, a lot of Season 1 of Beast Wars wouldn't be that different-- but Season 2, now, Season 2 is ripe for the kinds of change that make AUs worth exploring. I've had this one sitting on my hard drive for years; I'm not altogether sure where to go with it from here (or if I should even try, I feel like I'm going to run it up a lamp post), but at least it has a solid ending. This is tagged 'het (technically)' because a) my headcanon for Transformers is that they have genders, but not sexes, and b) Blackarachnia and Starscream's relationship is about half friends-with-benefits and half convenient cover.

Summary: Original vignettes and codas, plus scenes from the Beast Wars Season 2 episodes The Coming of the Fuzors, Part 2, Tangled Web, Maximal, No More, Bad Spark, Code of Hero, and Transmutate that would've been very different with Starscream still in control of Waspinator's body.

Title: Moving On
Author: Almighty Hat
Fandom: Transformers 2007 Movie
Word Count: 5,600
Rating: PG
Warnings: Strong language

Author's Notes: This is the story that didn't want to end. It's three times as long as I'd intended it to be, but I think it's a lot more fun. Written for the Insecticons.com Non-True-Love Relationships contest.

Summary: Sometimes, some people can manage the whole 'let's stay friends' thing.

( So she'd met this guy. )

Author's Notes, 2013: This one didn't win the Non-True-Love challenge because, as Wayward said, it was more 'true love with other people.' Which is definitely my fault, originally it was just going to be the first three segments, and then a Plot happened and I ran with it because plot doesn't usually happen to me. This fic is thoroughly Jossed by later Transformers movies; I was writing under the impression that when Sam went to college it would be UNLV rather than somewhere back east, and it just kind of gets more Jossed from there. Tagged 'het' because while this isn't a romance story, it's technically about romance.

Title: Expectancy
Fandom: Transformers 2007 Movie
Characters: Bumblebee, Sam, Mojo
Word Count: Short.
Rating: G
Warnings: Still no major spoilers for Transformers, somehow. Slightly mopey subject matter.
Author's Notes: I keep rats as pets. Depending on genetics and health, they live between two and four and a half years. This fic is thus dedicated to my fifteen-month-old rattie girls Badger, Ninja, and Jojo, and to their late predecessors, Captain Hello McStumpy, Eeep, and Swish.
Disclaimer: Transformers and all related indicia are property of Hasbro/Takara. No profit is made from this fanfiction and no copyright infringement is intended. A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.
Summary: It's not easy, loving them, but we do it because we can't do anything else.


( The day Mojo got his cast taken off, Bumblebee had to ask a few questions. )

Author's Notes, 2013: I no longer keep rats as pets. They make great pets, but I've never had one live much longer than two years, and that gets really wearing.

Title: Nice Car
Fandom: Transformers 2007 Movie/Knight Rider crossover
Characters: Bumblebee, Mikaela, Sam, Michael, Kitt
Word Count: I have failed to count. Short.
Rating: G
Warnings: Gratuitous F-body description
Summary: Really, when you get right down to it, isn't everybody a little more than meets the eye?

Author's Notes: For Emily, because it is ALL HER FAULT. Her fault. Not mine. I just get these mental images. She puts them there.

(  Two sports cars sat in the parking lot of the fast-food restaurant, low-slung and sleek. )

Author's Notes, 2013: This was my first foray into Transformers fanfiction, and I think it's held up well. What TF Movieverse fic I've written is all solidly based around the first movie; I didn't like the second and haven't seen the third, so I'm content to be solidly Jossed a lot of the time.
