“To oppression, plundering and abandonment, we respond with life. Neither flood nor plagues, famines nor cataclysms, nor even the eternal wars of century upon century, have been able to subdue the persistent advantage of life over death.
- Gabriel García Márquez
Title: Borealis
Author: tainry
Rating: G to NC-17, individual chapters will be marked appropriately.
Characters: Ensemble, individual chapters will be marked appropriately.
Warnings: OC, waff, silly, auctorial self-indulgence, metric aftloads of bot!smex, and dark now and then. Individual chapters will be properly labeled.
Summary: What happens to an asexually-reproducing species when it suddenly and unexpectedly becomes sexually-reproducing? How do you end a millions-of-years-long war? Compare and contrast humans and Cybertronians. Change or die. Also, see above quotation. This story is a biography of the OC Borealis on the surface, but is in fact about Optimus Prime - much in the way that when some people say, “As you wish,” what they really mean is, “I love you.” Prowl also decided to become a prominent character. :D
Notes: Each chapter will be posted separately, but the whole shebang will be linked here. New chapters will be marked. Chapters involving OCs will be marked. “Interlewd”s are what you want for zee robo!smex. Unless otherwise noted via slashes. ^^; o^_____________^o
This worked from the 2007 movie. The 2009 movie renders it deeply AU. The 2011 movie is right out.

Early conversation regarding seven genders. :D Suggestions welcome.
Another post playing with Seeker types. Rough and incomplete. Suggestions welcome.
The Borealis playlist! Very rudimentary so far, will add to as time and finding stuff permits. Suggestions loved. ^____^
The geneology/merge list. ^^; Will need to be updated periodically.
And an attempt at a family "tree". Hard to do when no-one's monogamous.
A non-cityformer protoform about halfway into the growth process.

mremresuggested I list the "Easter Eggs" - little snippets of story that have ended up in the comments. ;D No links, just the list, so interested parties will know when they've found them all. o^____^o The first two were placed kind of random, from "Into the Dark" onward I will endeavor to put them with the chapters to which they are most related. ^^;;;
BIRD & BEE - Bumblebee teaches Borealis the Ways of the Clang.
UNTITLED - Ratchet helps Prowl relearn how to recognize beauty.
INTO THE DARK - Mirage's farewell to Countermeasure.
UNTITLED 2 - Maggie asks for, and gets, a smooch from Prowl.
