I'm trying to get back to something that resembles normalcy so back to keeping regular updates and attempting to get back to writing. So, lets get back into this:

1. Bleeding Daylight - This was to be my entry to the Robot Big Bang before life tried to eat me and resulted in my dropping out. It's a Wings Universe AU dealing with a Smokescreen/Swindle cross faction relationship, questions just how free the Decepticons are, and its just an all around epic love story. It's got Smokey/Swindle, Onslaught/Blast Off (and I'm trying to respectfully write demisexual Blast Off), Ratchet/Twins, and a deep Ratchet/Smokescreen friendship.

I'm currently reworking what I had already written to include the various subplots I had to drop for time and space. Once that's done I will finalize the ending, get it edited, and start with the posting. Now, since I don't want to compete with the Big Bang and I really want to be sure that things are edited well, I may not start posting this fic until the new year.

2. Being Human - This is my Humanized TF/MCU crossover. I've posted the first three chapters here and I'm currently working on the fourth. Combat is breaking out properly and the Autobots and Avengers will actually meet.
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3

3. You Remind Me of Someone I Used to Know - This story has a long, long way to go. I've worked on some of Chapter 4. Smokescreen has been found out by Jazz and Mirage and he's promised to leave Ratchet alone. Unfortunately Ratchet's curiosity has been piqued and isn't going to give up on finding out who Cortano really is.

4. Survivor's Guilt - I've been picking at this one for ages. I noticed that there were a variety of fics out there dealing with both Blue and Prowl dealing with the fall of Praxis, but it's super rare for anything to be written about Smokescreen. So I started working on this idea. It's the anniversary of the city's destruction and Smokescreen is dealing with his survivor's guilt by getting overcharged on his own and Bluestreak decides he's having none of this. This isn't going to be part of the Medical Psychology series.

5. Who Counsels the Counsellor? - This is another one that I've been picking at. It's the Festival of the Five and Smokescreen is attacked by an unknown assailant. Then he's attacked again. And again. And no one knows who's doing it. I sort of got sidetracked on this one because I couldn't decide which Autobot was doing the attacking. Fact is, according to the fandom Smokey is the designated asshole, so I wasn't sure who to chose at the bad guy knowing that I'd be pissing readers off.

4. Untitled Heat fic - There have been a variety of fics out there dealing with sudden heats among the bots. It got me to thinking, what if someone went into heat and the only person there to help them is someone they loathe. It's become a rather difficult dub-con fic that will have to be dealt with very carefully. Smokescreen/Mirage. This one is part of the Medical Psychology series.

5. Red Tape sequel - After all of the issues with my parent and the hospital, I am planning on a medical system red tape fic and poor Ratchet having to deal with it.

6. Daughters of Liberty - This is my Fallout 4 walkthrough fic. The idea is that there are a number of people survive the vault and the protagonists are a pair of sisters - one a Marine lawyer and the other an Army engineer. It's pretty amorphous at the moment but it's slowly progressing. Basically I want to flesh out the story a little and play with the world.

So, there we go. Clearly I will not be finishing all of these this month, but I do plan on working on most of them. I may post some of the WIPs over here at some point. It may be silly but I find that if I post it somewhere where people can see it (they don't need to, but they could) then I'm less likely to go back and edit the bejesus out of it.

So March was productive. I got one thing written (Healing Hands) and that officially means that I wrote more this year than I did last year. My aim is still to write (or complete) and post at least one thing every month. This month my focus is on my Camp NaNo and my planned Transformers/MCU crossover. I'm not sure that I'll have anything truly postable or in any way complete by the end of the month, but I'm working on various scenes and eventually I will have a multi-chaptered story.

This is turning out to be far more ambitious than I originally had planned as it seems that I am going to be setting up a complete AU. The general outline is that Shockwave is to blame for the Great War and he was manipulating all three sides (The Autobots, the Decepticons, and the Council) and the war continued until Megatron and Orion Pax launched themselves into space in an attempt to find the Hand and gain the power to take over Cybertron for their own. Shockwave allowed them to leave because he thought the Hand was only a myth and that both Megatron and Prime had too much of a cult of personalty behind them to fully control their followers. After Prime and Megatron left, Shockwave managed to put a new Functionist regime into place, rendering Cybertron nearly static. A few of Megatron and Prime's officers kept the rebellion going subtly and were eventually able to leave Cybertron with a few ollowers in the guise of finding new energy sources and spreading the Empire's reach. These mechs were able to track a Cybertronian signal to Earth, where they find an abundance of technology that seem to be Cybertronian in origin. They decide to set up an Infiltration protocol since they fear that this might be some kind of staging ground for one of Shockwave's plots. They are on Earth for a while and are able to observe various events including the arrival of the Asgardians and the attempted Chitauri invasion. Now they have tracked Megatron and Prime's signals to the Hoover Dam and begin to plan an investigtion when the Combaticons are compelled to attack and the Avengers are called in to stop them. It was during the battle that something happened - a flash of light, some blinding pain, and the Cybertronians find themselves human and separated, some picked up by the Avengers, others in the hands of HYDRA.

I still need to figure out the timeline for this because there are things in the MCU that I want to include and things that I want to ignore (Age of Ultron and Civil War are two of the biggies that I want to ignore or change). I also need to figure out exactly what I will deal with with the human condition and how I will avoid certain things given that I want to play with gender dynamics.

So, that's the plan for April.
