Okay guys it's the last day! This was the hardest list to get narrowed down to something reasonable. Since the theme today is NSFW, please watch the tags and curate your own experience.

"Aren't you a pretty pair of legs."
Optimus's spark froze in his chest.
No. No, no, no way, no. Primus, no. Where would he even get the money to afford to come here as a customer? It couldn't be—
The customer had gone quiet as Optimus tried to keep from panicking.
"Awfully familiar legs at that."

Optimus pays the bills at the academy with sex work of a very particular kind. This fic is absolutely steaming hot, and, get this, I hate this pairing. I absolutely love it in this fic, though, and the give and take and the challenge of it all is just delicious.

Megatron gets Starscream off, and then needs Starscream's help to finish himself.

This fic is a huge, huge, all-time favorite of mine, and the second chapter from Megatron's perspective is just stunning. This is the fic that got me to understand humiliation kink. Somehow by the end it's sweet, but still so very Megastar, with all that entails. 

Virtuoso: Duet by Enfilade
IDW, Deathsaurus/Tarn
Explicit

"Allies with benefits" is already more than either Tarn or Deathsaurus had ever hoped for. But Tarn has never been good at saying no to temptation. And Deathsaurus has never known when to quit. Love is a gamble, but trust is a minefield, and the risks are as high as the rewards...unless Tarn can convince Deathsaurus that it's nothing more than a game. Part one of a duology.

I could rec at least five other fics from Enfilade, who is a genius, but I'm picking this one in particular because it's my favorite. This is the fifth or sixth in a series, and I recommend reading the ones that come before, but it works well as a standalone. The smut in this fic is unbelievably good, but at the same time the backstory of both characters gets developed, and their relationship transforms. There are a lot of miscommunications, but none of them are accidents—and as the fic goes on both of them have to work really, really hard to overcome cultural differences and their own vulnerability. Enfilade does an amazing job playing with the dramatic irony of switching perspective between the two characters. Oh, and the fic is probably 85% a single sex scene. I love it so much.

Tit for Tat by tragakes lejf
Continuity what Continuity, MegOP

Just Megatron with big boobs, small valve, and a surprised-but-mostly-delighted Optimus Prime.

Megatron has tits. That's the entire premise. It's beautiful, straightforward PWP. Robots with breasts took me a long time to come around on, and then I read this, and now there can never be enough. There are three chapters, with the option for more. The second chapter is probably my favorite, though honestly it was tough choosing between tragakes fics for this in the first place. Everything is amazing!

Masks and Mirrors Part 8 by entangledwood
Continuity Soup, Optimus Prime/Drift
Explicit
The marvelous entangledwood did the Kinktober challenge last year and created the Masks and Mirrors AU—a no-war AU featuring an exclusive Cybertronian BDSM club. The main storyline focuses on Optimus, but a lot of pairings make their way through, including Megatron/Rodimus, Starscream and his trine, and more obscure rarepairs, etc. You can find all of the stories on Pillowfort, here. The one I'm reccing in particular is Optimus/Drift (though it could be Optimus/anyone if you squint) and it features a submissive!OP using the Matrix for some less than innocent purposes. It's really, really fun. A couple of stories involve Ratchet domming OP, and that is wonderful as well.

There are so many amazing writers in this fandom, and honestly I'm really excited to do this again because I know there are so many others whose writing I want to shout loudly about.
