Summary: In the wake of great change, Carly finds an unlikely kindred spirit. (Set after "The Rebirth.")

That was excellent! I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt Hot Rod should feel a little (or a lot) resentful after The Return Of Optimus Prime, and Carly's reactions to Daniel's fate rang entirely true.
Means of Persuasion by Merytneith
Rated: G • Summary: Prowl, favored son of the city of Vos, strategist and thinker, spins out the thin wires of his life in patriotic furore for his beloved home-- a paradise city where Decepticons and Autobots alike spend their days in peace, prosperity, egalitarianism... and complete ignorance of the lies and hypocrisy that prop up the city and its tyrannical leaders. Caught up in the events that give rise to the great conflict that will tear all of Cybertron apart, Prowl's conscience demands he perform the unconscionable for the sake of a friend who is an enemy, for a lie that becomes the truth, and for the very salvation of a new Autobot empire facing the doom of global civil war.

Simply fantastic, more deserving of being called a novel than a 'fic'- the *over* used *emphasis* of *words* notwithstanding, which I didn't find as tiresome as others, but still could have done with thinning out. It was good to see a fiction take a 'cold fish' like Prowl and not shy away from that aspect of him, but instead use and embrace it. Everyone was perfect here, from Megatron to Warpath, and I loved the more 'down-to-Earth' take on the war- that it was a war which escalated into racial polarisation, rather than a "Megatron's Master Plan" from the start. Possibly my favourite bit was the observation that Megatron would keep coming back until he had to crawl to Iacon and gnaw the gates with his teeth- although the use of Combaticons was another inspired bit, and the Real Reason for Unfinished Vos was a classic. So, Ironhide's a Southerner, is he? :-) Yep, that sounds about right.
Behind Blue Eyes by Silverfox
Rated: G • Summary: The 'other half' of Lone Stars. What was Mirage thinking and just what did he and Sunstreaker say to each other? Well, here's your answer. Song fic warning!

An interesting and different look at Mirage, a character who's always struck me as having rather more potential than the cartoon or comic ever really made use of. I also felt his assessment of the character differences between the two factions was pretty much spot on, and you point up his dilemma- intellectually more at home with Decepticon philosophy, but emotionally and socially an Autobot, he's an outsider everywhere.
