#miragehound

Thank you so much!! It makes me so happy to hear that you enjoy my Transformers fics! Especially when there are so many Transformers fics that I love! Honestly there are so many that I love that it might be easier if you gave me some more parameters so that I can narrow it down lol! For example fics about a specific ship/ AU/ character/ continuity/ family relationship etc. 

Obviously I'm a big Jazzprowl fan! So most of the following fics do feature this pairing even if its not tagged, or at the very least these two characters feature in fairly key roles.

So yeah overall these recs will be for some of my more general fav fics! Also for some reason tumblr is only allowing me to include ten links so ten fics it will be. But let me if you want any more!

Bluestreak's (Definitely not Deception) Penpal.

Finished multi chapter. 91k words. Bluestreak becomes penpals with who he thought was another Autobot Praxian but was actually the Deception Thundercracker. Explores the characters of Bluestreak and Thundercracker really well. Its rare to see fics focused on a purely platonic relationship but I think the one the author creates here is really sweet. And its nice to see Bluestreak being friends with the other young Autobots as well. Also has bonus Jazzprowl being Bluestreak's adopted parents! 

Reach The Stars

300k. Ongoing series. Features Perfect Harmony which focuses on Jazzprowl's developing relationship prior to the events of TF One. And if your still hoping for a TF One sequel then this series has got you covered with so many amazing fics set in that continuity written by @qillespen !

Miners of Iacon

8k. Ongoing collection of one shots focusing on different background miners in TF One.

All The Friendly Ghosts

10k one shot. When the Autobots come across a sparkling Sideswipe who can't stop talking to his imaginary friend, they assume it is the sparklings way of processing the trauma of loosing his twin. But Sunstreaker might not as imaginary as they first thought. 

Dream a Little Dream of Me by @umbreonix

55k Ongoing. Jazz causes havoc in High Command's dreams.

I'm Done With Bits

21k finished series. 3 times Kup almost tells Springer about his creator, and the one-time Springer figures it out himself. Includes bonus Jazzprowl focused fic!

An Alter of Our Own Design

26k Ongoing series exploring characters belief in Primus and finding their faith in each other. First fic focuses on Jazzprowl. 

The Gentleman's Handbook.

76k Finished. THE Hound x Mirage fic! 

Saturated Sunlight:  by @inkfamy

21k Ongoing. THE Sunnyblue fic! 

Following The Tracks: 

81l Ongoing Multi-chapter. THE Tracks x Raoul fic! (I think this is the only fic on the list that doesn't feature Jazz or Prowl)

And you Eclipse the Red of the Sun by @wyveraed

26k Ongoing. Red Alert x Inferno Royalty au! 

Little Brother

Also, do you have any apex art? If not that's totally cool but I would love to see it!

you have activated my trap card!! many drawings ahead

my main is indeed bloodhound. i also whip out fuse, mirage, and to a lesser degree octane, but mostly i'm a one trick bloodhound. they were what got me into the game in the first place back in season 7 when i heard their 'i'm afraid of heights :(' voicelines (a cool hunter nonbinary character voiced by none other than allegra clark? sign me tf up), and even though i am Very Bad At Shooting and don't actually like battle royale-type games apex stayed my brainrot for over two years. the brainrot is definitely over now and these days i play it as a social thing, but that's how i acquired 2k+ hours lmao

also they released a magpiehound recolor called 'frosthaven' that i gleefully snatched up and have been wearing it ever since (ft the magpie holospray and the magpie mural on their latest map. i think they are catering to me specifically)

i am. truly Not Good. i am here just to clown and gossip and make poor life choices. my impulse control is too non existent for someone whose best skill is shooting a perfect outline around the enemy and not a bullet within

i had SO MUCH bloodhound art over on twitter good god. out of the following two drawings, the first one was bought out by allegra to sell as signed prints, and the second one was reposted onto apex's IG account, and in general this was the one time i genuinely had a blast on twitter interacting with all the devs and vas before everything went downhill both in respawn and on twitter lol. also i have to say, s10 and the whole White Raven thing fed me so. so so. SO well. the existential angst was incredible.

i participated in a couple of zines/projects as well! i have many thoughts about their canonical(!) respawn system and the resulting unimportance of death. adds to the existentialism and to bloodhound's religious themes

overall it was a very, very prolific period for me, and there are many pieces i'm still very happy with to this day

(^ the second to last one is a reference to the fusehound confession scene, and the last one is related to one of my fics, wooden bones (forest deity!bh au))

shipping!!! miragehound was my initial and most prominent ship, and i will never forgive respawn for not expanding on their backstory (their mothers worked together COME ON. they might have met as children! COME ON!!!!! i have a whole series exactly about the What Could Have Been)

their backstory with boone also fascinated me for a very long time, and my friends and i spent many a yap session dissing the dude until we stopped and thought, hey, what if he really was Just Some Guy who made mistakes, what if he wasn't evil, and that's what pulled me right back into the brainrot when i was already starting to slowly recover from it. boone now has a very elaborate backstory and lore and i hope to god respawn never puts him in the games the way we did because a) they don't GET him and b) i don't trust the fandom with him lmao. i'm super down to blabber about him though just say the word. he's everything to me, my big, sad, hairy man

we also invented in-game stuff for him. he had abilities and skins etc etc (the top row of skins is his titan pilot backstory + talos era + 'default' in-game skin)

this diptych still lives rent-free in my head, i think i really won with this one

where miragehound and boonehound flourished, mirageboonehound wasn't far behind! i wrote how it came to be and all. also Рorn. so much Рorn. seriously.

also this was the first time i redrew the twelfth night as my otp. the second one was mouthwashing

fusehound was an absolute delight to watch blossom, especially since we know it wasn't planned and just Kind Of Happened. i felt that lmao. characters be like that. i'm a bit sadge they shelved the whole talos plotline in favor of romance but at this point i gave up on expecting good lore from apex, especially after they fired herr frozenfroh. i didn't draw fusehound nearly as much, BUT i do have one fic that was basically a dream i had lol

honorable mention goes to revhound!! this is the ship that went really hard with artists and writers. deeply painful, deeply compelling, absolutely incredible. mindblowing angst and just as mindblowing рorn, together or separately. best shit. the one ship i didn't write for because compared to the fandom's behemoths i never felt like i'd be able to contribute anything meaningful lol, i just got to sit back and enjoy

bonus: as one of my friends eloquently put it, bh and their bhitches :)

i was going to put in more pictures but hit the 30 images limit!!! my twitter is now abandoned but if you scroll down just a little you can see all the stuff that didn't make it into this post.

apex and bloodhound also REALLY, REALLY got me writing. i came into the fandom already relatively warmed up after a 170k fire emblem fic, but i ended up writing 200k+ for miragehound, mirageboonehound, and fusehound combined. i was unstoppable. it was insane. i've linked some already but you can peep them all here. bloodhound's pov was especially fun to write for, purple prose my beloved
