Title: Giants of the Earth, Chapter 11
Author: hopeofdawn
Rating: PG-13 (may go up in future chapters)
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Prowl, Robert Epps, Jazz, Sam Witwicky, Red Alert, Springer, Flipsides, Mikaela Banes and 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).

Warnings this chapter for nonexplicit mentions of infanticide and non-mammalian mechpreg.
