Fifteen years has passed since the forty-year Autobot-Decepticon War on Earth came to a close. Cybertronians on Earth cannot return to their home planet because the only way back there is through the Spacebridge that was destroyed in the final battle. Although the war was declared over, Decepticons still sow trouble meanwhile the Autobots have split up. Several join forces with G.H.O.S.T — an internationally recognised law enforcing unit where Cybertronians may join in – while the rest manage their lives independently.
For humanity, most of the global population are indifferent towards their alien “guests”. Many want them to leave yet many are fine with them staying. There are those who refuse to wait and take action to rid the Cybertronians from the face of Earth themselves. The big question is: would they risk casualties on innocent lives to achieve this or not?
Peace remains far away for planet Earth.
Then, one day, a new generation of Transformers-kind native to Earth is born. What happens the next two years since their birth will mark a historic moment for Earth and the Transformers-kind.

BOOK ONE: FAMILY
A family of four moves into their new home gets more than the calm life they desired. They found the new generation of Earthborn Transformers whom a mad scientist refers them as “Terrans”. Determined to protect the newborns Transformers from the uncertainties of a post-war world, the Malto family adopts and raises them as their own. Adopting the Terrans is easy, raising the non-human yet non-alien species is the real challenge.

BOOK TWO: UNITY
[story draft 1] | [full draft]
[first sketch of OC Terrans] | [info on the OC Terrans]
The Malto Terrans goes around the world to meet other Terrans and collect the Emberstones to restore Terratronus. Meridian have created his own Terrans to sabotage the Maltos and to manipulate humanity to turn against the Transformers kind for good. However, the real trouble is an ancient enemy from eons past, waiting for the perfect time to strike.

BOOK THREE: BELONGING
[chapter titles draft 1]
With the troubles caused by Meridian and the Quintessons solved, the Terrans now must face their hardest challenge: a court deciding the Cybertronians’ place on Earth. They know this is a losing battle, but they will do their best to defend their seniors regardless. Meanwhile, the New Council on Cybertron aims to make Earth its Colony, whether the natives like it or not.

STORY NOTES:
Book 1 ends at the alternative "Prime Time" episode. Book 2 ends at the alternative S1 finale.
Book 3 is an entirely original storyline without any connections to the canon. In other words, no longer canon compliant.
Out Of Character galore. The cast doesn't have the same characteristics or personalities as they do in canon.
Family drama. Following the above, this is unavoidable.
Thundercracker takes over Megatron's spotlight in the story. Megatron does not have any appearances until Book 3.
No, this series won't focus on the legacy characters. This is the Terrans' story.
Robby & Mo are 14-year-old twins. Their cyber-suits won't be a thing here.
FTGU Nightshade is not an intent to change Canon Nightshade! I can't believe I have to clarify this with NS specifically. They are not a real person!
If treating fictional characters like the non-living plastic toys they all are disturbs you, kindly move on from this fan fiction series.
I love this idea that like all prior links show up in ghost form at some point during totk and help wild figure shit out,,, like here where oot child link wants to give him a hint about the lost woods
Fun fact there actually was a second part to this! In totk Link has to traverse the underground to get into korok forest,, oot would be there to give him the hint yk
TIME LINK: PART 1 , PART 3 (not a full comic, just concept art with multiple parts) + a lil doodle
REVERSAL OF FATE (totk au by clowns0up) [#reversal of fate clowns0up]
(Wait nooo I just realized her hairstyle changes in the two panels… that’s upsetting.)
I’ve picked out some names that you guys came up with and one of them will be the actual name. I’ll put all my art related to this under a hashtag with the title and maybe (when I do end up making a comic) one day make a separate blog for it!
If one of your name suggestions isn’t in the poll I’m really sorry, I loved seeing every single idea and they were all great! Thank you all!
Anyway, here’s the candidates:
THE POLL IS OVER, WINNER IS REVERSAL OF FATE! thanks for voting!
NAME FOR THE AU
Taking the Gauntlet (idea by @toast-dude)
Tears of a Knight (idea by @elithefruitfly)
Wisdom in Motion (idea by @justdreaminghufflepuff)
Reversal of Fate (idea by @1RubyDoodles on Pinterest lol)
Trials of the Light (idea by @platoniclace)

‼️Last part of the post contains spoilers for major plot of totk
If I was Link, I have no doubt that my first instinct upon seeing a spooky hand fused to me where a bunch of evil goop had just been would be to stab it. Like, that situation just screams “hero slowly succumbs to corruption” to me. Not to mention all of the evil hands enemies in Zelda games. I do not want a Floormaster glued to me thank u very much.
Anyway, comic about it.
Thankfully Rauru is there to tell Link that this particular spooky arm is, in fact, not evil.
Link is a teacher, and throughout his adventures he has helped raise his young friends to be the leaders they are. Having passed on his Champion ability and all his knowledge, he has no regrets. These children are the Kingdoms future, and they deserve to be free from the regrets of the past.
With unspoken words, Link confirms his friends’ fears. This will be the last time they speak, even if he should survive this.
Link was able to prevent the worst in the nick of time with Ultrahand, and the sages are unharmed. However, in the gloom ridden Depths under the blackened sky, his mortal wounds are left to fester…
... unless the child is from the greediest place on the planet.
That's no child. That's a future slaver.
Orphaned, homeless, traumatized, and lonely, the line that separates Autobots and Decepticons blurs for Mirage when his rescuers refused to call him name like they do with the other kids.
