Title: Mercenary Medicine
Fandom: Transformers: Prime
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Knock Out is a freelance medic-- he works alone and he likes it that way. But when he finds a corpse that isn't as dead as it ought to be at the bottom of a pile of bodies, it puts his entire careful operation at risk.
Chapter: 01 || 02 || 03 || 04 || 05 || 06 || 07 || 08 || 09 || 10 || 11 || 12 || 13 || 14 || 15
Notes: Set way before what we see in the show and nowhere near Earth. Contains copious amounts of worldbuilding and headcanon. Thank you to Dirge for letting me bounce ideas off her and helping keep my Breakdown in line, and to Theo for making me really think about what it was I was writing. Mercenary Medicine wouldn’t be the story it is today without either of you.



Minor content warning this chapter for mentions of suicide, physical harm, and dismemberment.



( Knock Out had been sequestered in the maintenance bay for only a cycle before he heard the doorpad chime. )

Title: Confession
Fandom: Transformers: Prime
Rating: PG-13
Summary: After the events of Predacons Rising, Knock Out follows a faint energy signature to Darkmount, where he must come to terms with the mistakes he made and the impact they've had.
One shot; complete
Notes/warnings: CONTENT WARNING for the aftermath of incredible physical violence (so mild gore and dismembered body parts).

Sorry for the long, long hiatus on this fic, folks. Real life got very much in my way, I'm afraid, but I never intended to give up on MM for good. There may be further delays in getting the rest of the chapters out, but I know what the endgame on this fic is going to be and I fully intend to deliver it to you. Thanks for your patience and for sticking with me for so long!

You are my Breakdown, Dirge; I wouldn't be able to do this without you!


( Knock Out was elbow deep in a disorganized container of weapons when Vitalis warned him that Blackout was coming back online. )

I'm sorry for the delay between the last chapter and this one, and the delay to come between this and the next. I've been quite busy recently preparing convention stock, which eats severely into my writing time. Hopefully after Botcon I'll be able to make time again in my days for writing.

Speaking of, I'M GOING TO BOTCON! And if you're there too, feel free to look for me in the Dealer's Room-- I'll be behind the booth with the costume wings and the jewelry and the pillows and the Seeker t-shirts and other awesome handmade TF things.

Mention "Mercenary Medicine" and get a free pin as a thank you for reading!!

( Knock Out woke up with a jerk... )

Blackout's being a bit of a fragger in this one, isn't he? As always, thanks for reading!

Notes: And that's all for now~. "Mercenary Medicine" is going to be going on a little hiatus while I work on building up my buffer of finished chapters again. Thank you so much to everyone who's been reading so far, and I'll work hard on getting the next chapters out as soon as I can!
