If you do continue on Gladiator, I have a bit of a suggestion. Silverclaw finds a suitor for Ariel named Pythagoras, whose personality is a little like Orion Pax's. The two got along but she sees him as a friend. When Orion saw them together, kissing, he was upset but manages to hear her confession that she has Orion, which made Pythagoras upset but he promises to return her to her true love.
For Megatron's case, I don't know what made him rebel and lead the Decepticons, but it has something to do with Arcee being kidnapped since Kaon is known for having a ton of missing sparkling cases. Arcee must have been raised by a couple in Iacon in a nursery that is connected to the kidnappings, unaware about it.
Could there be an OVA-like fanfic about Maple's life from her humble beginnings to her demise of the bombs? I bet she and the selected bunch of the higher caste have been wondering about why their optics are red. I bet she inherited some of Megatron's traits rather than having his optics and colors.
I'm not sure if I'll do a dedicated story for Maple but I'll probably explore her life at some point.
This may sound like a request. If you do a request story like you did with Mining for Love, what about one about Elita-One in an unrequited bonding with Megatron, King og the Decepticons, in an AU where Cybertron is set in a tribal/Arthurian age, has a son with him whom Megatron adores and raise to become his heir, and she finds true love when she meets Optimus, a Prime and a Prince of the Autobots.
I'm sure I could do a one shot based on that.
I have a funny suggestion for the next chapter of A Prisoner to Love. As Windblade is teaching Darklight while teaching Starscream how to be a proper father, Darklight would comment wildly and drool at the sight of Slipstream's family's servants who are very beautiful and handsome mechs which makes her realise why Slipstream is attracted to attractive and kind-hearted mechs like Mirage.
I've almost done with the next chapter but that sounds like a fun one for a future one when Darklight starts to get on better with his future mother in law.
