Out of Order: Most of the series was published on Fanfiction.Net in Anachronic Order. The series in chronological order can be found on the main page, the author's profile on Fanfiction.Net, and as a series on Archive of Our Own.
Characters being annoyed with Skids and Mudflap's behavior and Ironhide telling them that their accents could be considered offensive matches up quite nicely with what audiences of Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen thought about them.
In A Child's Innocence, Laserbeak disguises himself as a smaller, pink version of Bumblebee and visits Annabelle at her house. The author has stated when she first saw Transformers: Dark of the Moon, she thought the little girl that Laserbeak visited while eliminating the Decepticons' human collaborators was supposed to be an older Annabelle Lennox.

Black Crayons was originally a short one-shot before the author decided to expand it into a series.
When writing A Child's Innocence, the author decided between bending the events of the Black Crayons series to match with Dark of the Moon or bending the events of the film to match the series. She went with the latter option, a choice which ended up being well-received by readers.
