Well, it took us a while to push past RL craziness, but a new chapter is finally up!
Title:
Giants of the Earth, Chapter 22 Author: hopeofdawn and fractalserpent
Rating: PG-13
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Optimus Prime, Prowl, Blaster, Jazz, the Giant, Soundwave and many, many other ensemble characters ....
Warnings/Notes:Takes place after DOTM, with minor tweaks to movieverse events/characters (so there are minor spoilers for the third movie). Most of the characterizations will be taken more from G1--especially Optimus, who is *not* the 'kill 'em all, let Primus sort 'em out' character he is in the movies. Most of the onscreen 'deaths' of Decepticons and Autobots have also fallen victim to authorial override--see the fic for details. Warnings in this chapter for canon-typical violence.
White Aster was an awesome beta, once again--as always, all remaining mistakes are our own. :)
Blaster had more reasons than most to hate Soundwave. But that long-seated resentment also had a tendency to blind Blaster to the larger picture. Blaster was the coolest cat Jazz knew -- except when his remaining symbionts were at stake. And Soundwave was practically the personification of that danger. Cross-posted to
