Summary: Nova confronts her final enemy. And when she does, her own recklessness finally catches up with her.

Yes, folks. This is the last chapter. The behemoth is finished. I want to thank all of you for coming with me on this wild ride, and I hope seeing it finished might get a few curious people on board as well. Creating this 'verse and these characters has meant so, so much to me and I am beyond elated that so many of you have responded so positively. I wrote this for very personal reasons and it means a lot to me that other people have found enjoyment and meaning in it.

And yes, the title is changed. No, that's not new -- I knew a long time ago what the real title should be, but wanted to wait to reveal it until it was all over.

Thanks muchly to

Rating: M for violence, dark themes, etc.
Warnings: Violence (battle scenes, damage from fighting, etc.)
Summary: The final battle between Nova's team and the Settlement's Autobot defenders, continued. Nova finally gets a chance to fight her archenemy, who's committed the cardinal sin of getting to Winder before she did. But Brightbolt is legendary for the 'Cons he killed back before he left the Autobots. Will she make him pay, or wake up something long-dormant she's better off not messing with?

And yes, this is the penultimate chapter. This thing -- this wild, amazing ride -- is almost done. The next chapter will be the last. As always, the next bit -- the end -- should be up sometime next month.

I couldn't be happier, and I'm so grateful to those of you who've come along on this journey.

Summary: The final battle between Nova's team and the Settlement's Autobot defenders, continued. Nova finishes repairing the little Decepticon medic and rejoins the fighting. Basically, a whole lot of good old fashioned Decepticons delivering aft kickings. Nova is hunting Brightbolt, eager to finally tear her longtime enemy apart... but has a few things to handle before she can devote herself to finding him.

Summary: The battle, in earnest, from Nova's POV. That contains Decepticons being Decepticons. AKA a lot of aft-kicking, some dead bodies/carnage, etc. And of course some snark. And the little medic getting its chance to be menacing, too, for those of you into creepy-cute. ^_^
