Summary
Lay monk Prowl of Praxus was dutiful, bored, and obedient – until he met Jazz of Staniz when the Prime came to visit his Temple. Jazz was attractive, fascinating, and not nearly as concerned with Prowl's vow of chastity as he should be.
Then again, neither was Prowl.

Summary
Mirage had told Noah about the Allspark, how it was the only way to get new mechs, and they were usually made in batches. Cybertronians didn't have family units the way humans did, and Mirage had sure never mentioned anything about parents.
So, how come Mirage just casually dropped not being made by the Allspark when that's how new Transformers are made? And how come he just introduced the two new mechs who showed up on Earth as his dads?

Do You Know What it is to be Loved by the Universe? by VenetaPsi

Summary
‘There appears to be a real risk,’ said Psychologist Prime, tapping a stylus against their tablet in an idle way that frayed at the edge of Adrian’s sore nerves, ‘That should Alien Human-from-Earth-of-Sol Asylum-seeker Savior-of-Erid Grace perish, then your mate Savior Rocky may experience a radical and potentially fatal decline in physiological and psychological health.’
‘...I see,’ said Adrian. With exceptional calmness.
---
Let it not be said that Adrian was not devoted as well. They had stood firm, a loyal widower longer than others could fathom. Once you encountered a love like Rocky’s, there could be no replacement. Nothing could even compare.
‘Do you understand that?’ Adrian wanted to ask. So desperately, they wanted the alien’s reply. ‘Are you the only other creature in the universe who understands what it is like to be loved by someone so completely?’
---
Adrian meets Grace several times, before Grace is healthy enough to meet them in return. Despite light-years of distance between their species, Adrian might have finally met the first other being who appreciates Rocky like they do; or so they hope.

A Sanctuary Safe and Strong by SingtotheNight

Summary
I am safe behind walls, protected, and so, so alone.
The Eridians have given me literally everything they can. I can’t ask them for anything more. Even trying to explain what I’m missing feels selfish.
And really, I have everything I need. I’m fine. My life is orders of magnitude better than I could have expected when I realized the Hail Mary was a one-way trip, or when I went back for Rocky after the Taumoeba disaster.
And yet.
I want. I just... want.
My chest aches and I squeeze my arms around myself. It doesn’t help.
-------
OR:
In his biodome on Erid, with no life-or-death situations to distract him, Ryland Grace confronts his emotional and physical walls.But Rocky can see through both.

Summary
I’m safe. I know this. As foreign as it feels to give myself credit, I know I helped save Erid, and that every sentient being on the planet knows it too.
And yet, something small and primitive in me can’t fight the brief flash of fear that zips through me when Adrian skids to a halt before me and I am forced to look up at them.
For a moment, they just stand there. I am reminded of the first time I saw Rocky, atavistic horror battling with fascination, coming together in a trembling awe. I feel no different looking at Adrian than I felt looking at Adrian, a vast expanse of green before me, knowing I am the first human to ever witness it, finding beauty in it as much as knowing it could spell my doom under the right circumstances. The light of my dome shines down on them, casting a dozen towering shadows over me.
“Hi,” I manage, forcing myself to swallow through a dry throat. If this is who Rocky chose to spend his life with, they’re cool. They have to be.
/////
Or: Rocky introduces the two people he loves most.

Summary
The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.
There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.
Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?
