Currents of Time

Wait, this isn’t what I sat down to write... oh, no, not another one of you. (Alternately, apparently there’s a limit to the number of times one can walk to work in the rain before one’s brain goes… here, I guess, I don’t know, that sentence kind of fell apart halfway though. I’M OUT OF MY HEAD WITH ALLERGIES AND ALLERGY MEDICATION WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME.)

Title: "With A Chance of Rain"
Author: Jecca Meitahn / twilit_wanderer’s allergy meds-addled brain
Fandom: Transformers / Top Gear crossover
Rating: K+
Characters: Mirage, Jeremy Clarkson
Pairing: As always, take it as you will.
Wordcount: 656 (short!)
Warnings: none?
Summary: Mirage doesn’t like storms. What’s the big deal? It’s just water.
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers or anything (or anyone) related to Top Gear, and this probably didn't happen.
Notes: This will not make sense if you haven't read "GT." Placed shortly after Mirage comes crawling back.

This is completely unbeta'd and I am not British, so if I've made some stupid mistake or another, please let me know. I have some concerns, seeing as how allergy meds make me weird and skew my worldview slightly. (SOMEDAY I WILL WRITE SOMETHING THAT ISN’T 95% DIALOGUE I SWEAR.)

- END -

Minding my own business and working on some schoolwork, when I'm suddenly aware I've been musing on the universe dynamics of what I've dubbed "Alt-verse," but which might be better known as "GT"-verse, since that's its only public appearance, for the last who-knows-how-long.

I've always thought of it as alternate universe G1 with stronger aspects of that "robots in disguise" bit than original G1 (in that they actually try to keep low profiles, so maybe a bit like IDW's G1-reboot, or something like the movie), if I've not made that clear, and if the stuff I've posted on it hadn't made that clear, either.


Unfortunately, all of this thinking on the subject has Alternators Mirage rattling at his cage bars again, and right now I'd rather shoot myself then try and write a blasted sequel. That story ended. Please leave me alone, or at least focus on something other than a direct continuation. Or at least come up with an actual, workable plot that we can map out and then shove in a corner and forget about, or something.



Though I am glad what functions as my inspiration appears to be back. I'm a bit fed up with making no progress in anything.

Pretend I posted this at the end of January, since I wrote nothing last month and was lame enough to post old stuff. Though maybe I should be saving this for the end of February.

Either way, someone needs to take these two - or at least Mirage, since he's the real problem, anyway - away from me before this gets even more out of control. TAKE HIM AWAY. Please?

Also, I can't come up with an even half-decent title. Woe.

Title: Prodding
Author: Jecca Meitahn / twilit_wanderer (ME!)
Fandom: Transformers, sort of Top Gear crossover
Rating: K
Characters: Mirage, Sideswipe, others.
Pairing: Take it as you will.
Wordcount: 1,044
Warnings: None
Summary: Mirage doesn't want the other Autobots to know where he'd been while he was missing. Sideswipe, unfortunately, appears to be on to him.
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers or anything (or anyone) related to Top Gear, and this probably didn't happen.
Notes: This will not make sense if you haven't read "GT." This is ... silly. It was originally a short scene from the still-in-progress "WST-Live!" thing, but it kept growing so, to prevent Mirage from stealing the story, I gave him yet another of his very own. I removed all references to the events of that story, so this should stand apart from it without problems. It still, of course, fits into Alt-verse.

For all the work I've put into this, it feels kind of weird to not be posting it anywhere. I don't know where else I could put it, though. That said, I don't care if anyone reading this wants to link it anywhere, either because they like it or because they want to poke fun at it.

* This has since been linked to at topgearslash and, if Aniko is to be believed (and I've no reason to doubt her) at The Padded Cell.

It doesn't fit in one post, so I've linked each entry to the other half of the story.

...I want to say several things about this, including how much I dislike it right now, but I'm not going to! I realize my opinion is tainted quite a lot by the fact that I've been working on this for months. So, without further discussion, here it (finally) is, in all its ridiculous glory.

Title: GT
Author: Jecca Meitahn / twilit_wanderer
Fandom: Transformers/Top Gear crossover
Rating: T
Characters: Mirage and Jeremy Clarkson, with appearances by Decepticons Rumble, Ravage, and Battle Ravage (unnamed), Autobots Jazz and Hound, and humans Richard Hammond and James May. Others referenced.
Pairing: nothing intended, but take it as you will. I don't care.
Wordcount: 13,300
Warnings: this is insane?
Summary: Mirage's deployment goes awry. Jeremy Clarkson's Ford GT arrives. There are no such things as coincidences.
Disclaimer: I'm fairly certain this didn't happen. I do not own Transformers or anything (or anyone) related to Top Gear. I do, however, own an Alternators Mirage, who looks startlingly like Jeremy Clarkson's GT and is the entire cause of this deranged thing.
Notes: The Transformers characters in here all have Alternators forms. The Alternators line has no canon, so I'm kind of making my own up as I go along, but there are a lot of very strong influences from various branches of Transformers continuity. This is completely irrelevant to anyone not familiar with Transformers.

There may be a few problems. I'm not British, so I'm not sure if all of the dialogue is right for Clarkson and the others. I'm not sure my chronology is entirely correct, either, so, if something's glaringly wrong, please tell me so I can try to fix it. I'd love to hear what people think of this in general, as well, even if it is nothing but hatred.

Edit I should've done quite a while ago...
There are other stories (all one-shots) related to this. In order of writing, they are: Sympathy, Prodding, On Names, and "With A Chance of Rain".
