A Chaotic Neutral

Title: Song and Dance
Universe: Bayverse, pre-canon
Characters: Soundwave, Jazz
Rating: T
Description: Jazz is incomprehensible to Soundwave, and somehow, that’s the most intriguing thing about him.

For JazzWaveWeek, Day Five, Tradition

The music is loud and obnoxious, but it is the most popular band on Cybertron this decade, and in an effort to prove how very united and progressive they are, of course Optimus and Megatron had ensured they would be the evening’s entertainment.

Soundwave knows he is going to have a migraine by the end of the night, but needs must.

The security risks are beyond enormous. Across the way, on another balcony, he can see Optimus’ chief security officer watching the gathering with the same hawkish intent as Soundwave. In this, Soundwave feels a kinship with the erratic Red Alert.

Soundwave does not deny the necessity of the celebration, but it is far too chaotic for him. It sets his sensors on edge, and he’s had to reduce his empathic capabilities to their lowest reception so he can function.

Title: Digital Daggers
Universe: G1
Characters: Prowl, Jazz/Soundwave, Ensemble
Rating: M
Enticements: Established Relationship, Secret Relationship, PNP, Betrayal
Description: Jazz does not ask; Soundwave does not tell, and it’s a secret they both keep from their respective factions. Or so they think.

For JazzWaveWeek, Day Three, Corrupt

Jazz never uses the same entrance or exit twice in a row. He can’t bear to be predictable, and it’s harder for people to track him if they can’t anticipate where he’s going to be.

Trust Prowl to be the only mech in the history of the universe to buck that trend. Jazz doesn’t know how he does it. What massive calculations run through that impressive brain of his, or what numbers he plugs into his theoretical programs to anticipate where Jazz is going to be at any time, but it’s annoying.

So when Jazz arrives at one of the many side exits, an emergency exit really, that involves an annoying climb through a narrow vertical tunnel, he wishes he could be surprised to find Prowl waiting for him.

Damn it. Every fragging time.
