* "[[https://www.wattpad.com/42897405-when-we-seared-the-sky-chapter-1 How We Seared the Sky]]", set in the continuity of the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' [[Film/TransformersFilmSeries live-action films]], and opens with new Autobot ally Alexis Paxton learning that she is the "spark-partner" (the Cybertronian equivalent of a soulmate) of the now defected Starscream. As the series continues, other humans end up learning that they are spark-partners to other Autobots; Alexis's step-sister Rose in particular is revealed to have ''two'' potential partners in the form of Autobot Ratchet and Decepticon Barricade, although Barricade is only interested in Rose as bonding with her will help him achieve his full potential where Ratchet cares about Rose as herself.
