Looking for fics about Ratchet

[luinrina]

Hello, everyone. I was wondering if any of you could recommend me some well-written, preferably long fics about Ratchet. I don't mind usage of OCs as long as it's more centered around the CMO and the OCs are halfway believable and realistic (please no Mary-Sues). I prefer movieverse, but G1 or TF:P are fine, too. Thanks a lot in advance.

One fic I'm really enjoying is a Ratchet origin story called Dead Past - it's on Fanfiction.net at www.fanfiction.net/s/7183012/1/ :) It's kind of a different take, but it's a great adventure story with interesting OCs and character development. Gen, at the moment.

Thank you! Great rec! I started reading immediately and am enjoying it very much.

How do you feel about slash?

[luinrina]

Slash is all right too as long as it's done tastefully and not the only focus of the story.

Then I strongly suggest The Diego Diaries on FFN by arctapus. I also have one of my own called Home is Where the Hatchet is. :D And jarakristafis here on LJ has some wonderful Ratchet and/or medic storied :3

How do you feel about incomplete fic?

[sablin27]

Because for complete fic, there's

"Sharing" by Darthneko
http://darthneko.dreamwidth.org/1519418.html
For the tf_rare_pairing prompt of "Lennox/Ratchet, Grief". (2857 words)

and

"Phoenix" by The Starhorse
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5456408/1/Phoenix
A look at the history of Ratchet's relationship to Sideswipe, told in snapshots. (10,982 words)

, but the other four fics I'd rec are in various stages of incompletion and have been for a while.

I normally don't like reading stories that never get finished, but in this case, I'm *craving* stories so could you tell me title and author, or even link me please?

I've already read "Phoenix" and "Sharing" but just perused the latter again. Thanks!

"On the Clock" by darthneko

It's incomplete and it starts with a focus on Bee, but Masks by L. Mouse is fantastic. It's ensemble, but it shifts to focus more on Ratchet about halfway through and his presence is notable throughout. :)

Thanks for the link! And my, this is long! I'll sure check it out.

I do have this post from a long time ago with some good Ratchet fics :)

Great list! I read the one or other one-shot over the last days, but I'm sure to check all the stories out too. Thank you!
