bluestbirdNovember??? Hello? Where did September go?
While I've been busy and a little bit sick, I've been picking away at whatever WIPs strike my fancy - meaning, I've started another one and added a few sentences to some others. I'd like to finish filling the PxJ Anniversary prompts I committed to before I release the last half, so those are in progress. I'll count the rest of my WIPs again later. May I be graced with finishing one.
The most recent one is a new Decepticon!Jazz AU, unrelated to Exchange. Dunno if this will ever see the light of day, so take a peek.

If there was ever a time Meister wished something wasn't his fault, this was it.
Well, technically, it's always his fault. There's always something a spy can do better, no matter the obstacle. You can give a different alibi, try a different password. If you lie to yourself and everyone else a little more convincingly, you might not fail.
So Meister can't use his fragged luck as an excuse for getting cocky and getting caught in a restricted area.
If he was an Autobot, a mistake like that would get him a few days in the brig and a stern lecture. Autobot Steeltrap already got the lecture and has a while more in this cell. The problem is Autobot Steeltrap probably won't hold up to the thorough security check someone is sure to put him through. It's such a stupid mistake, but he can't go back now and tell pre-mischief Meister to Not Do the Thing.
A caught spy is a dead spy. But Meister might not be caught yet, and isn't that a mess to figure out? If he's been made, he needs to get the frag away from this place. If he hasn't... well! It could be the start of something great! The stress will shear his bolts off one of these days.
