Necromancy and Magic Shops Snippets.

It had been raining the day before, when a fierce knock upon her door rattled the hinges.
Marinette had rushed downstairs to pull open, revealing a sopping wet Adrien at the threshold.
“I need your help...” He rasped, stumbling inside into the warmth beyond.
“Okay.” Marinette had agreed without question or hesitation. She had promised him she'd be there for him no matter what, after everything they've been through as Ladybug and Chat Noir.
“My mother... My father...” Adrien grimaced. “She woke up again. Because of him.”
Marinette didn't need to guess the truth he spoke underneath. She had been dead, cold and still inside that wretched crystal coffin.
“I need your help.” He repeated, staring into her eyes desperately. “I can't do this alone, please.”
“Okay.” She promised, swallowing thickly. “There's a shop, I've heard of. They specialise in... Gardening.”
Adrien nodded, eyes closing for a brief moment. “I can't go. She'll get suspicious if I'm gone for too long.”
“I'll go for you then. I won't let you down.” Marinette whispered.
Which is why she was here, stood in front of the unassuming clocktower that shouldn't exist, labelled neatly with a purple bat shaped sign 'The Batgirls' Emporium'
The door creaked as she opened it, stepping inside. The crackle of magic rolling off her as the wards let her through. She clutched at her Ladybug protective charm tightly.
The shopkeeper was watching her. She glanced away, scurrying towards the necromancy section, hope desperately curling in her chest as she scanned the aisle for what she seeked.
———
Cass looked her latest customer up and down. Their eyes met, and the other looked away first.
She nudged her partner gently and gestured to the necromancy aisle. Steph whistled.
"Ooooh, boy, you're looking for a toughie, huh?" she asked the nervous girl.
"I, um, I didn't -- I don't --"
"Not to worry, not to worry," Steph interrupted. "We've got you covered! We've got animal revivals, people revivals, plant revivals (although we charge extra for a kingdom's crops), and --"
"I'm not!", the customer interruped, "Looking to bring someone back! I need to put someone down!"
Cass's eyes sharpened. Steph froze, then slanted a look at the other.
After a quick examination, Cass shook her head.
"Well," Steph said, "Sorry for any rude assumptions I might've made." Her voice was low and soothing.
“It's... Fine.” Marinette mumbled, refusing to look at her, hands fidgeting at her sides.
Steph sighed. "Look, Cass isn't karate-chopping you right now, so I trust you're not up to any evil. What do you need?"
Marinette made a slight keening noise. “It's... I don't know exactly, I've only heard rumours of it... But my friend, someone he knew was dead and now they're not. And there's. He's scared. I promised I'd help.” She admits, saying far too much and yet not enough at the same time.
Cass vaulted over the counter and pulled Marinette into a hug. She tensed, and Steph feared she'd bolt. Instead, she melted into it.
How long had it been, Marinette wondered, since she'd last been hugged. Even Adrien kept his distance these days, despite everything, not that she faulted him, they were both hurting and coping and healing in their own ways... But she missed being comforted.

Summary:
Some short character studies on the notes of Madonna classics.
Do you all remember cassettes and tape players? They were so much fun! Oh, man, I must have spent hours rewinding my tapes with a pen. What a delightful experience that was. I should go for a little scavenger hunt in my bedroom and see if I still have a few around!
... ahem, anyway, have something short and fun inspired by my car karaoke sessions to Madonna's Celebration album. Let me know what you think, if you'd like! Hope you enjoy!

heyyy I saw that you write for Transformers.. you didnt say which transformers though so Ill assume all? just ignore this if not.
could you write something for G1 Soundwave and Starscream both liking the same human reader? headcanons pls
Oh hi!! Yes, I write for all Transformers. I haven't watched them all but for any request I'd research the specific characters to write them as accurate as possible.
You didn't specify if you wanted angsty, lighthearted, etc.. so I'll go with G1 goofiness mixed with my own style. Nor did you specify romantic or platonic. But I think it's Romantic? I couldn't tell if the reader was into them both as well.. so I tried my own approach! If this isn't right, re-send an ask (if you want)! o.o Headcanons below!
Warnings: Kidnapping (but it's not taken too seriously) , slight ignorance towards human comfort and physical limitations , slightly forced relationship but it's ambiguous as to whether it's platonic yearning or romantic yearning , maybe slight yandere?? My Kofi if you feel like tipping!
Soundwave:
Tumblr media
Well, you must have done something to get this con's attention. But now you've got it, and you're very much unlikely to lose it.
Soundwave likes to think he's calm and smart.
He's got his cassettes, he's got his position, he's got Lord Megatron.. everything's good.
He never assumed that he'd want a human as well.
And yet, he does.
He treats it as a simple desire to ignore. Like how humans crave chocolate but ignore it and get salad instead.
Well, at least, that's what he thought humans did. He soon found out that it's hard to ignore such cravings.
He couldn't stop thinking of you. So, he'd send out Ravage or Lazerbeak to watch you. Just so he could understand his strange desire further.
It didn't make sense, but he wanted you.
He watched, and admired the little things about you. But then.. one of his Cassettes informed him that Starscream was watching you as well.
He had even taken you in the recent fight..
Soundwave couldn't have that.
Starscream:
Tumblr media
You must be quite the organic for Starscream of all Decepticons to like you.
Of course, he'd ignore his feelings at first. Or assume it's his clearly genius processor formatting some sort of plan involving an organic squishy.
But alas, he truly likes you.
Once he realizes his feelings, he denies them insistently. No way does he like a human! They're small, weak, easily crushed but..
Also cute.
He's a very rash individual. What he wants, he gets.
And he wants you.
He doesn't immediately jump into it, of course.
That'd be desperate.
He ignores the stares he gets from others, particularly Soundwave, convincing himself it was paranoia. He was being very careful!
No, he watches.. and waits..
And at the perfect moment, with you struggling to run in the midst of a Decepticon attack..
Well, who would notice if he just hid you in his cockpit?
Small ficlet:
Starscream got you to stop struggling from his affection.
Now you sat still in one hand as the other roughly pet you. He didn't quite have the hang of it, almost pulling out your hair and tugging at your clothes. His metallic hand would pat your head, then roughly slide down and grip your body. Over and over, in a repetitive motion.
He had a nasty grin, you couldn't quite tell what he was feeling but he was certainly pleased.
It's not that he's unattractive or anything, for a giant alien robot.. he is! But you were trying to avoid getting stepped on and he shoved you in a cramped space, shook you around as he walked, jostled you as he flew, and now he's roughly petting you.
Then.. Starscream jolts as the door opens.
"Starscream: Explain" A more robotic voice speaks, though it sounds as if it's accompanied by some sort of auto-tune. He really does speak like a robot constantly making a report. The Third in Command of the Decepticons, Soundwave. It's impossible to tell with his mask, but you suspect he's displeased.
"Wh- Soundwave! Why didn't you knock!? I am your superior-" Starscream yelps when Soundwave slams his hand against the wall, leaning over Starscream and prying into his mind.
There's a brief moment of absolute tension. Then Soundwave pulls back, and stares down at you. He pries you from Starscream's tight grip, attempting to be as gentle as possible. Starscream grunts, and glares at Soundwave.
"..I presume you'll be reporting this incident to Megatron and getting rid of the fleshy?" Starscream asks with a snarl, trying to pretend you mean much less to him than you actually do.
But Soundwave got enough of a read of his emotions from that peek into his mind.
"Soundwave: Might. Unless.." Soundwave continues, then leans forward once more and dangles you in front of Starscream like bait.
It works.
"Unless what?!" Starscream squawks, unable to keep up his uncaring and confident facade for more than a moment.
Soundwave stares, but not at Starscream this time.
At you.
Even you can tell through his red visor, seeing a brief flicker of light, that he's staring right at you.
"Starscream: Will share human with Soundwave."
-
Tumblr media
That was the start of an odd situation.
Starscream didn't know as much about taking care of humans as he thought he did.
Soundwave got you a more comfortable place to rest, food, water, everything you need.
Of course, neither Decepticon let you leave.
They would routinely swap you between their respective spaces.
Starscream hated it, and Soundwave tolerated it.
But if Soundwave just took you, Starscream would make trouble.
And if Starscream kept you, Soundwave would report him.
So they're at an impasse.
And you're in the middle.
It's not all bad.
You think in some.. weird alien robot way that they both love you?
Maybe not exactly romantically, but close enough that they both want to keep and hold you.
They listen to you well enough, as long as you use honeyed words with Starscream and speak more pragmatically with Soundwave.
It's a decent exchange for them, and a new but tolerable change for you.
You might be a pet, or maybe some odd flavor of partner, maybe just a friend. It's hard to tell. But at least you don't pay rent.
I really hope you liked this. 🥺

Greetings, can i request an Earthspark Buddy, who's the youngest terran and was born after the last episode of season one, they got a Brown Bat alt mode, and have a sonic scream. When they found out the first time, they fled to the woods, their family was worried sick, but after some time they came back and told everyone that everything was fine.
They kept dissapearing some days and this worried their fam, they called megatron to help them follow Buddy and find where they go. They find Buddy at the middle of some free space and then they hear a guitar, Frenzy and the other cassettes appear and calls them their adopted sib. Buddy Laughs and Soundwave appears, the maltos and Megs come out of their hiding spot and take possitions to attack and defend Buddy.
Soundwave attacked first and they began fighting. Buddy, in distress, released a Sonic scream. Everyone was on the ground, their sibling couldn’t believe that they controled it after not much time. They told their family that Soundwave was their friend and that the should not fight, Soundwave had been mentoring them on their ability and helping them understand cybertronian things.
The maltos didn’t trust Soundwave because of the past, but Buddy seemed happy with them, and the other way around with the cassettes. The cassettes helped them too, so they controled their ability much faster because of the help they have been getting. Megatron was still 9n disbelief, but he understood. Soundwave had alredy lost a kid, and this one was their new menteé and they wouldn’t let anything happen to them.
By the endeverything turns up good, but now a family member had ti be around in the lessons.
(I love found family trope, you are amazing and don’t feel bad about the other requests, it wasn't your fault)
Love that Found Family Trope too!
Hope you enjoy!
Buddy the Terran with a bat alt mode
SFW, Platonic, Familial, Slight Angst, Cybertronain (Terran) reader
TFE
It was an unspoken rule that Buddy was the youngest.
No one really knew who was the oldest from the newest group of Terrans, but it was agreed that Buddy was the youngest.
Though they were the first to scan their alt mode.
Thrash: “Has anyone seen Buddy?” Mo: “I thought they were with Robbie.” Robbie: “I thought they were with Twitch?” Jawbreaker points to the top of the barn roof. Jawbreaker: “Look!” Buddy is slightly crouching in their new alt mode blinking at the others. Twitch: “They got their alt mode!” Robbie: “Buddy! You’re a bat!” Buddy: “Yeah…” Nightshade: “Why don’t you come down so we can have a better look.” Buddy: “…I can’t get down…” Hashtag: “What do you mean you can’t get down?” Buddy: “I don’t know how to get down!” Robbie: “How did you even get up there?” Buddy squeaking: “I don’t know! One minute I’m visiting Barry and the next I’m on the roof!” Mo: “Who’s Barry!?”
Dot received a video from Hashtag of Buddy in their new alt mode on top of the roof while Thrash and Jawbreaker were telling them to jump into their arms.
Alex was holding onto dear life as his wife hit the gas and sped back to the house.
After nearly another hour of trying to get Buddy from off the roof, they finally alerted Bumblebee to come and help.
Bumblebee: “Its alright Buddy! Its going to be okay!” Buddy slowly inched to the ledge. Buddy: “Are you sure this is a good idea?” Bumblebee: “You’ll be fine! Just jump—AAAHHHHHH!!” SLAM! Bumblebee was on the floor with Buddy sitting on his chassis. Bumblebee groaning: “You were supposed to wait for my count….” Buddy: “It worked when Barry tried it.” Bumblebee: “Who’s Barry?”
Other than the ‘Roof incident’, things seemed to be going well for the Terrans and the Maltos.
That, however, changed on one Family Movie Night.
Hashtag had chosen an old timey slasher film with some of the fakest props ever.
Many of the Terrans were laughing and having a good time… except Buddy.
It wasn’t until a particular jump scare came up that they screamed.
But this scream literally through most of their family back.
In their panic state, Buddy transformed and flew into the woods behind the barn.
Everyone was both in shock and worried for Buddy.
By the looks of it, Buddy didn’t even know they could do that… sonic screech either.
What if they hurt themselves on accident?
What if they got lost?
What if someone found them?!
Dot is about to call in Megatron and Optimus to help look for Buddy when said Terran carefully descended in the middle of the cow field.
Buddy nervously fiddling with their alt modes digits. They look up to see their family run to them. Buddy: “Listen I’m so, so, so, sorry—” Nightshade gets to them first and wraps their wings around them. Nightshade: “Thank goodness you’re okay!” Jawbreaker, Hashtag, Twitch and Thrash also throw themselves into the group hug. Buddy sniffles a bit before they let go and turn to their human family. Buddy: “I- I so—” Mo and Robbie hug them the best they can. Alex and Dot follow right behind. Dot places a hand on the side of their face. Buddy leans into her touch. Dot: “You okay baby? You gave us quite the scare there?” Buddy slowly nods. Buddy: “I… I just needed some space. I’m still sorry about what happened with movie night…” Alex: “Forget movie night kiddo. The important thing is that everyone is okay.” Buddy: “Yeah… I bet Barry was scared too. I need to say sorry to him too.” Alex: “Who’s Barry?”
The family made sure to tell the bots about Buddy’s new screeching abilities the next day.
It was rather difficult for the bots to find ways to help Buddy control/ train their screech.
None of them had experience with training with sound.
Buddy soon found themselves a bit left out on training, so as not trigger their scream.
This was also around the time that the family started noticing Buddy begin to stray into the woods and not come back until the evening time.
At first, they didn’t think too much about it.
It wasn’t until they started missing some mandatory training and coming back even later at night that the family started worrying.
Mo and Robbie tried to talk to them, but they only patted their heads and continued on their way.
The other Terrans tried to talk to them, which led to a sky chase between Buddy, Nightshade and Twitch.
Twitch and Nightshade groaned as they walked back to the house. Robbie: “Where have you two been?” Twitch: “We got lost trying to find Buddy.” Nightshade: “Did they come back?” Jawbreaker: “Yeah, they came back a few hours ago and just waddled to he barn.” Hashtag: “They said they needed to tell Barry something.” Nightshade: “Who’s Barry?”
The latter two got lost in the woods while Buddy returned to the roof of the barn.
Dot decided to bring in reinforcements and calls in the bots.
The next day the Maltos and bots follow Buddy into the woods.
They all hide once Buddy stops flying and waddles a bit into a clearing.
Twitch from Megatron’s shoulder. Twitch: “What are they doing?” Thrash: “Ha! They’re doing the waddle!” Hashtag: “Hush Thrash!” Everyone quiets down at the sound of a familiar jet landing into the clearing. Soundwave transformed right in front of Buddy and let the minicons out too. Buddy waves their wings a bit. Frenzy chuckled as she put them in a mini helm lock. Jawbreaker: “They’re under attack!” Optimus: “Autobots and Terrans roll out!” The bots come out of their hiding places just as Soundwave had picked up Buddy from underneath their wings. Buddy squeaked in surprised at their family and the bots being at the clearing. Buddy: “Guys? What are you—” Megatron: “Release the Terran Soundwave. No one has to get hurt here.” Frenzy, Lazerbeak and Ravage stand in front of Soundwave. Frenzy: “You want ‘em? You’ll just have to go through us!” Soundwave puts Buddy down behind him and readies himself. Buddy had a nervous face. Buddy: “Wait I—” Their pleas were drowned out by the sound of Soundwave’s fist on Megatron face.
The fight broke out.
Thankfully it didn’t last long.
Buddy had let out a low scream, making everyone stop in their tracks.
Once they stopped, they nervously waddled to the middle of the bots and cons.
They explained to the bots and their family that they had been seeing Soundwave for the past few weeks to help train them.
Soundwave had the best experience with sound and how to use it.
They begged Megatron and Dot to let them continue to train under the Decepticon.
Dot looked unsure, but seeing the results did put her in a tough decision.
Megatron just looked at his former friend.
Soundwave looked ready to fight him again in order to continue to see the little bat.
It had him thinking about…
Megatron walks a bit to Soundwave. Buddy nervously began to rub their digits a bit. Megatron looks at Soundwave. Megatron: “… Have you ever harmed them?” Soundwave: “No.” Soundwave: “Do you intend to use them for any future plans with the Decepticons?” Soundwave: “No.” Megatron turns to Dot: “I don’t see why not. Soundwave is the only Cybertronian we know of that can help with Buddy’s new abilities…” Dot makes her way to Soundwave. Dot: “You can train Buddy… but I swear if my kid comes back hurt from one of your outing, I. Will. Come. For. You.”
The first few times Buddy went to training, they had to be accompanied by someone.
From Mo and Robbie to Megatron and Optimus.
Slowly it turned into a babysitter.
Until Buddy went to practice and noticed no one had followed them.
Buddy had flown straight into Soundwave’s arms that day just letting out little jittery chirps and squeaks into his chassis.
Soundwave just held them close to his spark.
This little bat had managed to squeeze their way into his spark and he was not letting them go anytime soon.

Okay so I am watching X-Files for the first time rn, having a great time glad to be here etc. etc. and look I knew going in that it takes seasons upon seasons for anything to happen between Mulder and Scully and it was platonic for a really long time. Right. I thought I understood this, I was (and still am) perfectly fine with that. It's whatever.
But I'm on 2x01 and Mulder is in some random shed in Puerto Rico talking to a cassette tape like it's Scully saying shit like "before I could only trust myself, now I can only trust you, and they've taken you away from me" and if this is them being platonic mate what the fuck does Not Platonic look like? Is this why you're all like this???

Would you be willing to write a small drabble or something for Tailgate? He's so cute I wannna hold him like a teddy bear but also he's like thrice my size
When I was reading MTMTE I would always forget how big Tailgate actually was. I’m like oh yeah my short king my bbg my itty bitty guy then he’s like 10 feet tall
Tailgate x reader, fluff, SFW, gender neutral reader, racially ambiguous, can be read as platonic or romantic
It was strange for Tailgate seeing how small humans were up close. Back in his day humans didn’t even exist and now they’re bouncing around Cybertronian stomping grounds like fleas. Not that he saw the Lost Light’s human as a flea! You were just so small!
He was only really used to being bigger than a cassette bot on a good day but the human made him feel giant. You barely reached his thigh plating and he so desperately wanted to pick you up like a little toy and squeeze you till your organic optics popped out.
While Swerve seemed to colonize most of your attention, Tailgate was still able to squeeze himself into your schedule. Squeeze is definitely the proper word to use in this situation as you sit on Tailgate’s lap with his arms wrapped around your middle like a child holding their prized toy. You practically looked like a toy in his grasp with the size difference.
It was you, Tailgate, Cyclonus, Whirl, and Swerve hanging around the bar named for the latter bot after hours. The little booth the five of your sat at was lively with Whirl recounting a story from his wrecker days and Cyclonus challenging the facts of the tale.
Your arms were flopped over Tailgate’s as your entire body weight was supported in his arms. At this point you had tuned out Whirl’s jabbering and yammering and focused your attention on Tailgate’s arm plates. You traced the “Waste Disposal” lettering on his forearm absentmindedly. Tailgate’s attention was then turned to how your tiny fingers danced across his arm plating.
He did his best to not squeeze you out of some form of cuteness aggression but he couldn’t help the squeal of delight as he rubbed his faceplate against your head.
“Humans are so cute! Look how cute my human is!” Tailgate gleamed rocking you back and forth.
“They’re an adult of their species,” Cyclonus scolded while prying at Tailgate’s arms hoping to get you out of his conjux’s grip. “You should at least try to treat them as such.”
“It’s fine,” you giggle giving Tailgate a reassuring pat to his arm. “Plus sounds like you’re jealous I’m getting sweet on your man.”
Swerve and Whirl erupted in laughed and hooting at your shot at Cyclonus. The purple mech only sat there with his face flushed blue with energon before giving an amused huff.
“Aww,” Tailgate said holding you up to Cyclonus like a kitten. “Apologize! I can’t choose between the two of you.”
You stuck your tongue out playfully causing Cyclonus to grab the pink appendage between his taloned digits. You squealed in panic worried he was going to tear your tongue right out your mouth but Cyclonus only held you there with a smile.
“Ew,” Whirl scoffed pushing his optic too close to the situation. “You don’t know where they’ve put that thing.”
“Last I checked it was in your mom’s mouth!” Swerve yapped slapping his servo on the table. The three other mechs looked at the bartender confused giving you enough space to wriggle out of Cyclonus’ grip on your tongue and release a hearty laugh.
Whirl flipped his optic around to look at the minibot. “What the slag is a mom?”

the cassettes are a group of characters where if i think about them for too long i start to get physically ill.
because i really like the cassettes. they're really fun and i adore the concept of a guy who happens to have a gaggle of goons to do his dirty work. the combination of making them actual cassettes who live inside of soundwave (and/or blaster but this is gonna be a soundwave cassette focused post) is really interesting.
unfortunately most bits of canon (and fanon to be entirely honest) do not treat the cassettes as actual beings with their own thoughts, feelings, and personalities outside of "soundwave's little guys."
for the sake of clarity i will only be talking about the continuity that i have the most experience with, that being idw1 and my post will mostly be talking about those versions of the characters. i've been told that the cassettes feature more prominently in the g1 marvel comics but i haven't quite gotten around to reading those in depth so i won't be discussing those.
back on topic.
i always feel so disappointed at the actual cassettes as characters. they're often sidelined into being background characters and the majority of the time when they show up in fics they're never majour characters, just background guys to pad out the cast. i'm honestly not gonna judge fan writers and fan artists too harshly because most canon sources don't really feature the cassettes as actual characters worthy of having attention paid to them.
idw1 is specifically the continuity where i feel a bit sick whenever i think about the cassettes because they go through sooooo much shit and it's never brought up. like okay, laserbeak, buzzsaw, and ravage are mostly chill. obviously they probably have the whole beastformers are lesser beings thing going on but they're overall the most well rounded of the cassettes. (ravage especially since he's actually allowed to be a character outside of soundwave)
rumble and frenzy are were my stomach starts to like... explode. because they didn't get a choice in being soundwave's cassettes and it's never brought up, ever. megatron basically tells them that they're gonna be reformatted and neither party ever brings it up. like do rumble and frenzy just tolerate soundwave because it could be so much worse? do they genuinely respect soundwave and fight beside him because they want to see him succeed in a similar manner as the beastformers? like... phase 2 shows them reformatted again into motorcycles and they seem okay with it, like neither of them seem to be hung up on no longer being cassettes.
but also i have issues and problems with rumble and frenzy always being shown as a package duo. like i think they're a fun combo, especially as siblings because i adore platonic relationships but most pieces of canon treat them as interchangeable. like it's an ongoing joke in the fandom that they swap paint colours to fuck with people and in actual canon sources they don't have consistent colours so it's harder to actually treat them as genuine individuals. and that makes me soooooo mad. i don't like it when twins/duos in media get treated as a weird conglomerate individual with two names. it's boring and it's lazy and i wish it would stop happening.
side tangent. i hate what how skybound treats the cassettes. like okay yeah sure it's fun to see soundwave go "you hurt my ravage" but what about his other cassettes. either rumble or frenzy is dead and soundwave just doesn't fucking care? does he play favourites, boy i sure would like to know but daniel warren literally fucking said that he killed off one of the twins because he found the colour debate to be annoying and that grinds my gears a bit. if you don't like them, don't fucking include them or idk, have mike spicer, the colourist, keep their palettes consistent.
and skybound also treats ravage like an object. he's not an actual character with thoughts and feelings and emotions, he's a fucking toy for soundwave to moon over whenever warren needs soundwave to be less of an asshole than shockwave. like yeah sure, soundwave being so desperate to get ravage repaired in skybound is good for his character but that dynamic, where ravage has no actual dialogue and no actual personality outside of "soundwave's cassettte" makes him so much less interesting to me. skybound is getting a small benefit of the doubt because there's only 11 issues so far, but i will critique it to all hell because any emotional tension involving ravage and soundwave falls apart for me because ravage could easily be replaced with literally any other cassette. he's not special and the comic doesn't do anything to make me genuinely care about soundwave and his relationship.
tangent over. i'm going back to talking about idw1.
specifically it's time to talk about the fucking elephant in the room that i'm always thinking about whenever soundwave's cassettes come up; ratbat.
now to preface this little rant of mine. ratbat sucks. he's a terrible person who actively believed and contributed to the oppression of millions of cybertronians. he used soundwave as nothing more than a tool and proved himself to be a slimy scumbag with the few moments that he was on screen.
however, that does not stop me from feeling just a tad bit bad for him considering how soundwave treats him. it's one thing for the decepticons to murder the whole senate, those characters don't really matter in the long run, they're nameless, they never get brought up ever again and the story just doesn't care about them once they're dead.
but ratbat is different because rather than killing him, soundwave shoves his dying spark into a cassette body and for all intensive purposes, turns ratbat into his slave. because ratbat doesn't get a choice, he doesn't get the ability to say no. he just has to be toted along and do whatever soundwave tells him to do and that alone makes my opinions on idw soundwave.... well they're not great. because later stories treat idw soundwave like he's a good guy, he's the dude who wants to make the decepticons what they were originally, he wants to be done with cybertron's bullshit.
and i have to sit there, fist clenched, wanting to grab him by the fucking shoulders and ask "WHAT ABOUT RATBAT? WHAT ABOUT THE GUY WHO YOU LITERALLY MADE INTO A SLAVE FOR AT FOUR MILLION YEARS AND WHOSE DEATH YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY REACTION TO WHATSOEVER? DOES LIBERATION AND EQUALITY ONLY MATTER WHEN IT COMES TO GUYS WHO DIDN'T PERSONALLY FUCK YOU OVER?"
ehem, anyways, yeah i do not like the fact that idw just brushes over the fact that ratbat is not willingly soundwave's cassette. they do not ever focus on the fact that soundwave stuffed his former employer's spark into a completely different frame and then proceeded to do exactly what ratbat did to him for around four million years. and then didn't react whatsoever to ratbat dying.
like in early idw1, ratbat doesn't have any dialogue. he's a nothing burger character like all the other cassettes. but idw phase 2 specifically makes him a political rival. he's the guy in charge of the cons (along side shockwave to some extent) and then prowl fucking orders arcee to kill ratbat and no one ever talks about him ever again...
i have complicated emotions regarding ratbat because the story really wants you to see his treatment and go, yes, he deserves this treatment, he's evil and he was mean to soundwave and therefore he deserves to be imprisoned by another and used as a weapon for four million years and once he's dead we'll never talk about him ever again.
and i don't think that's fair. ratbat should've been a crucial character to soundwave after he died. soundwave should've had a moment in phase two where he realises that the decepticons have been terrible from the beginning, that he was actively a part of that terribleness, and he should've made the active decision to change the decepticons into something that stands for equality and freedom and peace.
i'm gonna move onto ravage because i feel so bad for ravage. he got shafted hard. oh the one hand, i love mtmte ravage, i adore seeing the cassettes in environments that don't involve soundwave because it means the writers have to actually care about them as more than just little guys that soundwave bosses around.
unfortunately, ravage goes from being soundwave's little guy to being megatron's little guy in mtmte. which like... okay, fine, megatron needs a guy who he can bounce off of and ravage fits that role pretty well (though i'd argue that having megatron potentially bounce off of an autobot whose morals are a bit lax is much better than simply having a decepticon who already likes him.)
but the point is, ravage, rather than being his own character who has thoughts and opinions, only exists to be a buffer for megatron. the devil on his shoulder if you will, trying to see and understand and coax megatron back into being the fearsome leader he was before. and it works to some extent, ravage getting fatally injured is literally what prompts megatron into ripping the djd to shreds. but unfortunately, that's ravage's only real purpose in the story. we don't see him interacting with any other characters means that he's entirely dependent on megatron for any insight to his character development. nautica is an exception but i have my own issues with the fact that she treats him like a pet upon first meeting him and like... to my knowledge she never really gets over that whole cute kitty aspect of their relationship.
and this makes me so mad because ravage is really interesting. he's older than most of the characters on the lost light and should reasonably be a fascinating insight to how beastformers are treated and discriminated against during the pre and post war eras. but instead he's relegated to a side character who gets murdered to further the arc of megatron, a character who sort of forgets about ravage as soon as lost light starts. this isn't helped by megatron's character arc being rushed and happening mostly off screen but ravage's death feels so unnecessary to me. he would've been much better had he been forced to be separated from megatron for most of lost light.
and unfortunately this is much the same for most other continuities. transformers prime my forever detested treats laserbeak like a fucking drone. it doesn't have any voicelines, it's just a little creature hooked up to soundwave's chest. (i haven't read the books because i cannot be bothered with aligned continuity and also if i have to go to external sources of canon beyond the original show to get key character information, it probably wasn't too important to begin with)
earthspark is fun in season 1, i'm happy that frenzy and laserbeak are allowed a few moments of time outside of soundwave but they're very minor characters and unfortunately ravage isn't much of a character considering he can't speak (which is weird because laserbeak can) and only gets a few scenes throughout seasons 1 and two.
cyberverse only has laserbeak and once again she/he (i don't think they state their pronouns) only exists to be soundwave's little guy.
tfa soundwave is so nothing burger that i genuinely forget that he exists 90% of the time. so his cassettes, as to be expected, not characters and just random objects to be played around with.
my point in all this is that the cassettes deserve better. they deserve to be actual genuine characters who are treated as more than just set pieces for soundwave and the other decepticons. i hope that in later transformers series, the writers give the cassettes the opportunity to shine.

Steve starts driving Eddie places after he gets out of the hospital. It just makes sense. He’s so used to chauffeuring Robin and the kids around, that driving with Eddie is natural. Sure, unlike the others Eddie has a driver’s license, but they both know the road is a hell of a lot safer when Eddie isn’t behind the wheel. 
The thing is, Eddie’s always complaining about Steve’s music. Steve’s a simple guy. He turns on the radio and listens to whatever it spoon-feeds him (pop garbage, according to Eddie). Steve likes the music well enough. He’s never really loved music, it’s just background noise. Hell, when pushed Steve couldn’t think of what his Vecna song would be. So to avoid Eddie’s gripes he relents and lets Eddie leave a couple of his cassettes in the BMW. 
At first, Steve only plays the tapes when Eddie’s in the car but as time passes something changes. Steve finds himself driving home alone, dreading returning to the cold and quiet halls he knows await him in Loch Nora. The radio isn’t cutting it when it comes to drowning out the background chatter and dread in his head, so he switches over to one of Eddie’s tapes. It makes him feel less alone. He can imagine Eddie’s ringed fingers tapping their way across the passenger door furiously to the beat of the song, and he doesn’t feel so alone. 
That’s how some of the tapes manage to migrate from his car to the tape deck in his room. When he plays them, he feels like the house comes alive, that he isn’t alone. He doesn’t tell Eddie, of course. He doesn’t tell anyone. One day he slips up while driving Dustin to Hellfire. 
“I didn’t pick you as a metalhead, Steve,” Dustin notes with a shit-eating grin. 
He’s confused at first, until he hears the familiar tune of Metallica’s Welcome Home, through the BMW’s speakers and knows he’s messed up. Dustin definitely brings it up as soon as he gets to Hellfire, spouting nonsense about how Eddie’s corrupted Steve with ‘the devil’s music’- seriously, where does the kid even come up with that shit? 
The ride back from Hellfire is made all the more painful, with Eddie in the passenger seat and Dustin mouthing off from the backseat. Steve’s being berated from all angles about being a ‘closeted metalhead’. It’s been a long day and Steve is so goddamn tired so he can be forgiven for finally snapping. 
“I only listen to that shit because it reminds me of you,” Steve remarked shutting them both up in an instant. 
Dustin is the quickest to recover. He leans forward, nudging Steve’s shoulder. 
“Careful dude, say stuff like that and Robin’ll get jealous. It sounds like you’re in love with Eddie.” 
“Shut the hell up, Henderson,” Steve snaps, too quickly, too defensively. 
That’s when Dustin realises he’s screwed up. Royally screwed up, because Steve being gay never entered the ballpark of his imagination and it made sense didn’t it? Kind of. The way Steve kept insisting he and Robin were platonic. He hadn’t gone on many dates since Eddie’s return from hospital. 
He tried to dredge up all the things he’d been planning to say when Will inevitably came out because that, Dustin saw coming. 
“Actually it’s cool if you are, you know, gay. We wouldn’t think of you any differently if you were. Right, Eddie?” Dustin desperately looks to Eddie, who’s gone full deer-in-the-headlights, wide-eyed. 
“I might think of him a little differently,” Eddie breathes, sounding a million miles away. Dustin looks at him like he’s about ready to kill a man and Steve’s gone pale. 
The rest of the drive is spent in awkward silence. Steve dreads the moment he arrives at the Henderson household, knowing the second Dustin leaves the car, things are going to get infinitely worse. 
“If I’ve screwed things up, just let me know because I don’t know where to go from here,” Steve says once they’re alone. He hears Eddie exhale and braces himself for the worst as he waits for the man to reply. 
“How about we start with one of those trademark, pickup lines I’ve heard so much about,” Eddie prompts. Steve is confused. It might be a common occurrence, but that doesn’t make it any better. 
“What?” Steve asks, not able to come up with something more articulate. 
“Is what Dustin said true?” There was no point in lying, was there? 
“Yes. No. Mostly. I’m not gay-,” To Steve’s surprise, he watches Eddie’s shoulders fall. If he didn’t know better he’d think the guy was disappointed. 
“But I do like guys. Not all guys. Some guys. Sometimes.” Steve’s rambling and he knows it. 
“Then I meant what I said, to Dustin.” And there it is, the thing Steve’s dreading. 
“Right. Yeah, okay. So do you still want me to drop you off at your place or should I just pull over now?” 
Steve tries to hold back the hurt in his tone because he hasn’t admitted it out loud to anyone yet and it sure as hell smarts to be so blatantly rejected. He might actually have preferred getting punched in the face, at least there was something finite about it. 
“Steve,” Eddie breathes and his voice is soft, gentle even. Which makes no damn sense. He sounds like Robin did, on the floor of the cinema bathroom: vulnerable and exasperated, but not mad. 
“Pull over.” So Steve does. 
Eddie sets a hand on Steve’s shoulder, looks him dead in the eyes and licks his lips. 
“Steve, I’m gay and very much in love with you. Up until tonight, I thought you were very straight and totally out of my league, so if you’re telling me I’ve got a shot, that changes shit.” Oh. Steve finally caught up. 
Steve turns down the volume of the music, just to make sure he’d heard Eddie right. Then leaned into the man’s space. 
“Ahoy there, sailor.” 
Much to his dismay, Eddie laughs- scratch that, he snorts, doubling over, trying to muffle the noise with a hand. 
“That was the pickup line?” Eddie clarifies. 
“I’m rusty and I’ve never used it on a guy,” Steve retorts defensively. 
Before he knows it, Eddie’s back in his space, his breath ghosting hot over Steve’s cheek. 
“Hey, I didn’t say it didn’t work.”

Hey there
Could I please get some Platonic Yandere G1 Soundwave with a teen reader?
Thanks
Since you didn't specify what the reader's gender is, or you just don't care -- by default -- the gender is a girl. Sorry for my male audience.
Clinging to Sanity, or Embrace the Fantasy
Tumblr media
It was nighttime. A full moon lighting up the sky, accompanied by the blissing, shining stars. Pushing up the window in your bedroom, allowing the sounds of muffled arguing to echo outside. You dropped a bag, pieces of metal clanging from within upon compact. You climbed out, your hands gripping the edge of the window before letting go; it was only a small drop.
Grabbing the bag's handles and pulling it on your shoulder as you ran. This was almost becoming a weekly thing now. Your parents would argue for god knows how long ever since you were just a little girl. And when they're not, and you're alone with one of them, they'd talk and rant to you about how much they hate the other, like you're the psychiatrist and not their child.
You would secretly leave and head to your own place of Zen, your place of work that's open 24/7, where you would repair things that people would leave you. It can be a boom box, a radio, a record player, the popular cellular phone, even a cassette player. The company you work for is a big business that they give their employees their own offices/work rooms that are reinforced with sound-proof walls, for both privacy and not to disturb their fellow workers.
Walking down the sidewalk with only the streetlamps guiding your path; the cool, crisp air breezing past you in such a calming way, slowly pushing the fresh memory of the angry, loud shouts from your parents from your mind. You wished your older sister was there, but she's off living her freedom away from that damned house. They haven't even called after they left, not even to you. You saw the neon-glowing sign of the workplace up ahead.
Pushing the door open, a familiar ring-ding echoing loudly to get whoever was working at the receptionist desk's attention. The warm air-conditioning hitting my skin, making me shiver from the stark contrast of the outside. Behind the counter was Vannessa, dyed rainbow tips in her hair, heavy mascara and eyeliner on her face, accompanied by two small, light blue bows, with white bunny heads with "X"'s over the eyes, on both sides of her head (Inspired by teenager! Vanessa made by @chloesimaginationthings, lovely job btw). She's fun to hang out with if she isn't in a bad mood.
She glanced up, greeted me with a small wave, a corner of her lips perking up before it returned to its bored, neutral expression, putting her attention back on her phone. I walked past her and down the corridor where the walls are lined with doors to different offices, a couple bathrooms, and a janitor's closet. Once you approached your door, the backdoor was slammed open and entered Jerry with a box of wares. "FOUNDER'S FRIDAY!!" He happily shouted.
"Hell, yeah!" You exclaimed, this day couldn't possibly be any better. You loved Founder's Friday's and so does about every other employee in this building. It's been around ever since Jerry joined, which was a long time before you were hired. It would be a chance of luck if a day like this happens; Jerry would find random, abandoned wares and junk, and once he gets what is considered enough, he brings it here for the other employees to scavenge in, what they do with it is up to them. The choices are to take it apart and use it for spare parts or keep it to repair it and use for your own personal use.
"Hey, Y/n, can you help me with the doors?" He asked. You're always the one he asks because your door is always the closest to the backdoor. You nodded, closing the backdoor as he walked off to the lounge. You walked past his slow-moving figure and opened the door for him. He walked into the lounge and set it on the table, metal clanging from within. "Thanks. Let me guess, bad day at home?" He asked, wiping imaginary sweat from his forehead. "Yeah..." You grumbled, already digging into the box. You were good on supplies and parts, so you're looking for something to keep, but so far, nothing has caught your attention.
Then you found something peculiar. It was a tape player, one that seems to play music by looking at the cassette tape in its little window. Its main color was a dark blue, the second main color was white, and highlighted with a purple emblem, one that seems familiar, but you can't put your finger on it. There seemed to be a sticker on the window, a big yellow star.
You walked out of the lounge with the tape player as other employees were approaching, crowding around the table upon entering. You opened the door to your office and sat down at your desk. You opened the cassette and observed the tapes inside. You picked up one and played it, the familiar song plays: We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister. You set it to the side, next to a little robot that is immobile, and got to work on a ware from a client, slightly bobbing your head to the music.
(Time-skip)
It's been about a month since that day. The arguing has gotten worse that you started sneaking out daily, hanging out in your office with your cassette player waiting. It has become your comfort object. The little robot that was mentioned before, you made it to make yourself think you're talking to someone about your problems at home, about how much you missed your sister and you'd wish she'd be here or at least call, about how much you hate your parents arguing, and with them telling you stuff about the other, it started making you hate your parents.
But your parents started getting couple's therapy, and you brought your cassette with you, to listen to as you do your schoolwork. The arguing has almost disappeared. Almost.
As they were arguing, covering your ears with your pillow wrapped around the back of your head, trying to muffle the sounds. You couldn't take it anymore! In a frenzy, you quickly grabbed your bag, forgetting about your cassette. It wasn't until you reached your work, entered your office that you'd forgotten it. It's fine, you told yourself. "I can get it after work..." You muttered, getting to work on a project to take your mind off of the events.
Once you arrived home, you saw a note that they left to their jobs. Crumpled up the note and threw it in the trash, passing by an old family photo, back then when everyone was happy - you think. Your mother had one kid -- a daughter -- before she married your present father. Her name is Carly, and she's currently attending MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), took after the appearance of her bio-dad, blond hair and pretty blue eyes. And then there was you in the photo, in a swaddle and only had been born a month ago before that very picture was taken. Looking at photos of the past like this really makes you wish things could go back.
You grabbed some pj's from your room and then entered your bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet and took some melatonin. You changed your clothes, tossing the dirty ones in the hamper. You closed the bathroom door behind you, approaching your bed, got under the covers. With eyelids feeling heavy, you closed them, not even catching the sound of something transforming as you drowsed off to sleep.
---
It was supposed to be a mission to get information through someone who was a family or friend of those human Autobots. But it all changed when he had been forced to stay hidden while in your quote-on-quote possession like an everyday object.
You would always talk to that small but adorable looking pile of junk like it were a living being that's lending an ear, while he was right there. Listening. The one thing he wasn't expecting was heart-wrenching info about your personal life at home. How much you'd wish for your dear sister to be around again. How much for peace in the family.
But he can see it as clear as day and knows you do too, but you keep putting yourself in denial, gripping onto that dwindling hope that everything would change for the better. But they will. At least, in the way he's thinking.
When you accidentally left him at the house, it only took a few more minutes before their arguing drifted on about you, negatively. It filled him with fury. Organics or any other living beings such as them don't deserve someone like you. Every time you'd unknowingly talk to him, he can tell that you have a kind spirit, a childish soul that's slowly dying the more you're around their presences. Those kinds of people that are like you no longer exist in the war that going on; So rare that you'd have a better luck at finding little bits of Dark Energon in the darkest corners in the galaxy. They were either killed or they changed, becoming a cold, serious husk of the bot they once were.
So, he made up his mind. He'd take you back to the Decepticon base, put your consciousness in another body -- a Cybertronian body -- and change your memories; you don't need them if they'd bring you such misery. You're better off being with people who would care about you. His minicons kids have already liked you, they find you interesting. They already know about his plan with you and they'd be happy to be the siblings you deserve, unlike that Carly girl.
Once you were dead asleep, Soundwave transformed into robot-mode, carefully picking up your body and left the house. Then he traveled to Cybertron via spacebridge, and had Shockwave start building you a body as you were put in a stasis pod. Once it was done, you were taken out of the pod, but was still asleep, and were put through the transfer and memory change.

Ch 1
Tumblr media
2006
On your first meeting with Gojo Satoru, you concluded that he was an arrogant, spoiled brat who was gifted with good looks and godlike powers. Fortunately, with him came the heavenly two: Shoko and Geto, who aligned with the normal spectrum of human emotions in your eyes, unlike the borderline narcissist called Gojo. Maybe you were biased, but at least those two didn't call you weak when you introduced yourself. It was not difficult to get along with all of them, so in no time, you grew close to everyone. You spent a lot of time with Yaga, who was trying to decipher your cursed technique, which he believed was something akin to Geto's, and that brought about daily practice sessions with your then crush.
Geto Suguru was nearly perfect in all senses, always on the morally correct side. His desire to protect everyone, his unique approach to the whole teaching situation, and his method of training added more to his already mesmerizing persona in your mind. You trained with him every single day after classes, had hour-long conversations about the most stray subjects while trading vintage cassette tapes, and feasted on any peculiar but palatable dish you came across. Regarding your slow growth, his patience with you bore fruit the day you stumbled upon an unfavorable breakthrough. You fainted halfway through combat, yet your body swerved every additional attack coming your way with some foreign cursed energy. He conducted certain actions that might trigger this behavior again, only to discover that you shared some sort of symbiotic relationship with an entity that resided within your subconscious. He surmised that it didn't possess you; instead, it protected you, the host, for mutually gainful results. It wasn't dangerous by nature. Geto tried exorcising it but gave up due to its unpredictable nature while secretly informing Yaga about it.
_______
After your lucrative performance in the Yamanashi Prefecture assignment, you were bombarded with numerous missions, sometimes assisting Haibara or Nanami, keeping you busy enough to miss out on your lessons with Geto. So naturally, Geto found himself gravitating towards you when he saw your bruised form coming out of the infirmary. "Missed me?", Geto asked, leaning on the infirmary door.
"You wish", you replied with a playful smile.
"Ouch... can't recall your Romeo already, I see". Now that is awful because that's the thing about Geto; he says stuff like this so casually, and it hurts knowing well the platonic character of your relationship. You feel terrible for not being a truly faithful friend. However, you have almost made peace with it over the span of 4 months, striving to get it through your head that dating is not the most significant experience of teenage life; maybe it's friendship, and it's okay to accept that some people are just way out of your league. These were the constant subliminal messages going around in your head.
"Yeah, found a new one. Hello husband", you retorted as Nanami entered the scene, and in true Nanami fashion, he took his time to understand that the remark was meant for him.
"So it was a head injury, I presume", Nanami said with a straight face.
"More like a heart injury after your blatant denial of our romantic married life just now!", you scoffed, trying to sound as offended as possible. You found out recently that teasing Nanami had become your new favorite thing; his reactions were to die for, and possibly Gojo's weird tactics were rubbing off on you.
To say that Geto was bewildered would be an understatement, because the last time he checked, Nanami wasn't one to entertain such chatter or blush at unintentionally flirty jokes. Generally, Geto considered himself the most mature of the bunch, and he was above all these sappy-feeling things, so why were several questions flooding his head? Was Geto the third wheel here? Was he feeling some sort of way for you? Did he want you to be this way only with him? Geto waited till Nanami left out of sheer awkwardness and embarrassment to ask if you wanted to hang out with him, and unfortunately, you were not free.
Actually, you were. You just wanted to save yourself from the heartache because it was frustrating how you felt around him. He was untouchable and really beautiful, and your sense of inferiority kicked in every time Gojo bragged about the double dates he went on with his best friend. So turning him down seemed like a better option than deluding yourself in fantasies. What you didn't know was that life already had a funny joke up its sleeve—that Geto had been assigned to an inevitable mission along with Gojo that very day.
Tumblr media
2010
Geto was tired of dealing with the spineless monkeys; they were getting on his nerves. Such self-centered, one-dimensional idiotic bunch weren't worth his time, but their pockets full of money and senseless heads filled with blind devotion were. Since their disgusting lives lacked meaning, he manipulated them into believing in the revolutionary religious group that he was the god of. To make some sense of the useless souls, he was doing them a favor by liberating them and making use of their miserable existence. It was always easy to instill fear in the ignorant; hence, his blessings and powers became the perfect pearls in his already beautiful ornament.
What kept him motivated was something that he yearned for—the only boon he had been enthroned with—you. And right now, he was waiting for you to return from an important congregation you conducted to scout some new fools into this institution. He knew you were capable of so much more than just using your beauty and polite, submissive nature to exploit the beliefs of the non-sorcerers, yet he couldn't trigger your fragile state by exposing you too much to the consequences of following him. So he complied with your wishes of playing house as an escape from everything. It was everything and more; there was no harm, there were no curses, there was sincerity, there was love, and there was you, and you were all he needed.
"I'm never going back there again!", you declared as you pulled Geto into a hug the minute you arrived. Being surrounded by silly people, putting up a facade, carrying yourself like an angel in front of all the devotees, a ruthless sorcerer for the enemies, a diplomat in non-sorcerer politics, and a prudent young girl for all the perverts was exhausting. It was only beside Geto that you allowed yourself to let loose, as danger was always on your tail due to your close association with him.
"Come on, I have to show you something", he said, breaking the hug.
"I really don't have the energy to travel anymore, Suguru. Let's go back to the hotel", you whined.
"Please, just this once. You won't regret it", he pleaded, and you obviously agreed. The car ride was peaceful, with your head laying on his shoulder as he admired your sleeping form, waking you up once the car reached its destination.
You woke up to a duplex surrounded by a row of rare flowers and trees, arranged in a uniform manner. You looked around the area before speaking up, "What's this place?"
"It's our home", Geto answered lovingly.
You looked back and forth between the house and him, taken aback. You remembered telling him how frustrating it was to move hotels every week. How much you craved the warmth of your parents own place. How much you wanted to be with him in a place where you could breathe freely and not feel guilty about anything. You turned to Suguru only to see him looking at you affectionately. You could be here with him, and no one in the world would know. Maybe there's a chance for change. You wanted to convey your million feelings to him, so you closed the distance between you to kiss him and let him know, which he reciprocated by kissing you deeply, pulling you as close as possible, and stopping only to take you to explore the rest of the house.
The moment you entered the bedroom, Geto had you against the wall as you wrapped your legs around him instinctively. Nuzzling into your neck and pecking you, Geto felt alive for the first time in a while. The way your lips met, the way you tasted, and the way you were trying to move your hips to gain some friction were driving him insane; it was heavenly. Before he could do anything about it, you halted your movements and walked towards the bed, stripping yourself completely and turning to say, "Suguru, I want you to fuck me".
Almost as if on cue, Geto took off his black yukata robes and followed you to the bed. He was so aroused that he couldn't help but kiss you again and suck hard enough on your bottom lip to leave a bruise. Laying you down, he started sucking your neck and teasing your nipples, going south with every passing second. Once he reached your sex, a loud moan escaped your mouth when he swirled his tongue, entering your dripping hole as he initiated the assault on your clit with his thumb. His humming pleasured you more through the vibrations, showing you just how much he longed for you. "Fuck Suguru, don't stop", you whined out of desperation.
Your moans motivated him to lick your clit with broad strokes of his tongue. You were tangling his hair, pulling on them, and trying to grind on his face, and seeing your squirming body under his control made him painfully hard. Keeping a tight grip on your thighs, Geto buried himself between them, swilling and smacking the slick while relishing his new addiction. Your hole pulsated around his tongue as he kept slurping on your juices, and you climaxed due to the overstimulation.
High on you, Geto had you sprawled on your back in a missionary position. The hypnotic haziness of the moment was too much for him, so he entered you to fulfill his carnal desire to have you. Moaning wildly, he tried to move, only to end up shuddering due to the stimulation. He didn't want to hurt you, but your face—the mix of ecstasy and craziness—was enough to drive him to the brink. Forgetting everything, he started rutting into you with harsh, deep strokes, causing you to writhe under him. The delicious jiggle of your tits allured Geto to give them the attention they deserved, sucking on one while squeezing the other. "Fuck...ngh...hsh... you're doing so good, baby...ahh", Geto said with a shaky breath as he lifted your leg up to thrust even deeper.
It wasn't the first time Geto was doing it with you; actually, he had spent countless amazing nights with you before, but this time was different. He felt as if you both were sharing the unspoken feelings you held for each other; it was serene and intimate. Being a God to thousands yet he found true devotion only in your eyes, where he was what he aspired to be: kind. And in this moment, he became one with you, and there was no beyond. His exuberant feelings were waiting to be spilled, but something stopped him. Was it doubt or rejection? He didn't know, but he knew better than to say it out loud.
"I love you, Suguru...hah..fuc-", you were cut off with a suffocating kiss. Geto's thrusting became erratic as he tried to express himself through his actions. Suddenly, life felt more lively; every sensation on his skin felt more pleasurable; it was overwhelming; he was losing control. You both came together, yet none of you stopped, wanting to stay in that euphoric episode for longer. Geto had so much to say to you, so much to confess, but he didn't. There was no rejection now; however, there was vulnerability, and it scared him.
"I love you", was all that his cowardice allowed him to utter.

Soundwave's cassettes fighting over reader? Can be romantic or platonic, those beasties deserve attention and will not hesitate to fight for it
It had started with Ratbat beating at Frenzy with his wings, forcing his servos of your frame. The feisty little mech left score marks in the brawler's red paint, setting off a catastrophe. On top of your berth.
"Get outta here with that!" Rumble kicks at both Frenzy and Ratbat, sending the two tumbling over the berth's edge in a squawking fit, as they tried to put dents in each other. Ravage leapt up from his half-sleep, sharp claws finding Rumble's shoulder pauldron and getting curled deep in the armor. He devolved into loud yowling, spitting and hissing profanities at the blue mech for not releasing his claws. Although, it was his fault.
Laserbeak joins the yelping, taking to the air despite the enclosed space, trying to get as far from flying elbows as possible. Buzzsaw, blessed and semi-reasonable, tries to gently pry Ravage's claws out of the squirming and fighting Rumble with his precise beak. It only earns him a bop to the face from the mech's fist.
Somewhere along the way, your work datapad gets scratched and whipped out of your hand by Ravage's flailing, fighting tail. A casualty in the fight. You mourn the report you were almost finished with, not having thought to save it even once.

Hello again! I hope you don't mind, I want to try G1 request, please. Megatron have a child that is quiet, fair, gentle, respectful, and wise heir. In battle, the Decepticon Heir will get very serious and stern in battle and will lead the Decepticons into battle when Megatron is not available and make sure not one of them doesn't get killed in their watch. One of Soundwaves cassettes - Rumble, is in dangerous condition, one of the Autobots nearly finished him off before The Heir fiercely protected Rumble and carried him to the medics, which saved his life. The Decepticon Heir is sick of losses of their people - Decepticons, Neutrals, even Autobots altogether. A few days later, Decepticon Heir and Optimus somehow got separated from others in the battle while they fight each other alone. At a stroke of luck, the Heir managed knocked Optimus down. The Heir is about to kill Optimus, but changed their mind. The Heir said, "I'm sick of this war. Someday, I hope we won't have to be enemies in the future. Farewell, Prime." And then walked away. Megatron, Soundwave, and Optimus Prime. Please and thank you.
YES! We are on a roll with Megs having a child aren't we? Though G1 Megatron does have a different relationship with this Buddy (as well as his little sparkling is BIGGER than him). I sneaked in some extra things in there.
Hope you enjoy!
Megatron with a kid who spared their enemy in battle with Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave
SFW, Platonic, Familial, Romantic, Angst, Hurt and Comfort, mention of injuries but nothing too graphic, Cybertronain reader
G1
Being Megatron’s child wasn’t the best thing in the world, but they wouldn’t trade it either.
Buddy made themselves quite tight knitted with their fellow Decepticons.
Yes, even Starscream was a part of the family.
They saw that together they would be able to make a difference.
Sure, some of their family’s ways were a bit dysfunctional, but Buddy still loved them.
Soundwave walking down the corridor while looking over some datapads.
Buddy carrying Frenzy, Rumble and Skywarp sprinting past him.
“RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN!”--Frenzy
“CAN’T YOU GO ANY FASTER?!”--Skywarp
“I WOULD BUT I HAVE THE THREE OF YOU ON ME!”--Buddy
Starscream shrieking in the background.
“BUDDY!”--Rumble
“Skywarp why don’t you warp us outta here?!”--Frenzy
“Well—”--Skywarp
“Absolutely not! I’d rather run all around the Nemesis with you three digging into my spinal struts than get stuck in a wall again!”--Buddy
Buddy was closer to Soundwave and his cassettes.
Being one of the only other Decepticons making sure things were running smoothly, Buddy found themselves working with him more than Megatron himself.
Sure, Buddy and Megatron did have their little bonding moments, but lately it had seemed as if Megatron was more concerned with Prime than with them.
“Behold my master plan!”--Megatron
A copy clone of Optimus Prime coming out of the supply closet.
“…Megatron what is that?”--Buddy
“It is a copy of the original Optimus Prime. This will sure—”--Megatron
“Hold on. So, you just so happen to have this copy with you… in the closet…”--Buddy
“Yes?”--Megatron
“… Why?”--Buddy
“Because… because… that’s not important right now.”--Megtraon
“I feel like it should be.”--Buddy
 “Shh! Now, we have a chance to defeat the—”--Megatron
Buddy and Soundwave having a telepathic conversation about getting rid of the copy as soon as the plan goes south.
They found some solace with Soundwave and the cassettes.
Buddy especially became acquainted with Rumble.
If Buddy was hanging out with one of the cassettes, they were most likely near or with Rumble.
There had been a lot of teasing within the ranks about the two, but nothing serious.
Buddy nor Rumble really minded that much. If fact they sometimes decided to use that teasing to their advantage or entertainment.
Buddy walking down the hall with Rumble sitting on their shoulders.
“Look who it is, the two love birds. What lovey dovey plans do you have today?”--Skywarp
“Can it Skywarp!”--Rumble
“Make me pipsqueak!”--Skywarp
Rumble was about to make a move when Buddy caught his pede, without looking from their data pad in their servo.
“Rumble I swear, if you go after Skywarp now when I’m just about to finish this report I will nail you into the wall with one servo.”--Buddy
“Woah! Buddy--”--Skywarp
“Yeah right! Not before I’d nail YOU to the wall so hard that you’d need the entire med crew to help you get back on your pedes!”--Rumble
“Wait what.”--Skywarp
“Bold of you to assume you could even do that Rumble, especially with your height.”--Buddy
“You guys can’t be— this is a joke right?”--Skywarp
“You think heights gonna stop me. I will climb you like those squirrels climb trees! Then we’ll see who’s laughing!”--Rumble
“You know what I’m just going to—”--Skywarp
“Skywarp who do you think is going to nail the other the hardest?”--Rumble
“…”--Skywarp
Skywarp warps away to purge his audials with bleach.
Buddy and Rumble laughing as soon as he warps away.
“It’s fun messing with them like this.”--Rumble
“Agreed. But seriously stop twitching I’m almost done.”--Buddy
“Make—”—Rumble
Buddy grabbing Rumble with one servo pushing him up against the wall while they finish reading their data pad.
“You want to finish that sentence?”--Buddy
Thundercracker turning the corner, sees this, then turns back.
“It is too early for this…”--Thundercracker
Frenzy once gave Buddy a type of shovel talk while the other cassettes in the background watching the show go down.
Soundwave dying a little bit inside with Rumble.
Frenzy standing on top of a bookshelf to gain some height on Buddy.
“—and if you even think about breaking his spark. We will find you and make you look like you went through a trash compactor!”--Frenzy
“Understood Frenzy.”--Buddy
“Don’t do that polite stuff! I mean it!”--Frenzy
“… You know that hurting him is the last thing I would ever want to do, right? I mean I’d never want to hurt Rumble and all but everyone gets hurt one way or another.”--Buddy
“Hmm!”--Frenzy
Ravage and Lazerbeak watching from the berth all of this go down.
“I guess you have my permission to make Rumble’s life the equivalent to a living mine field or whatever.”--Frenzy
“Oh, I’d be honored then.”--Buddy
“And there you go again with the whole ‘honor bound’ and ‘leader’ thing. Drop the act Buddy.”--Frenzy
“It’s called being polite Frenzy. You should try it sometime.”--Buddy
“Aha! There’s the Buddy I’ve been looking for—Oh Primus…”--Frenzy
“What?”--Buddy
Buddy turns around to see Soundwave and Rumble at the door.
“…”—Everyone in the room
“How much did you two heard?”—Buddy
“Information: Starscream now owes Soundwave 20 shanix. Buddy: permission to court Rumble.”--Soundwave
“Soundwave!”—Rumble and Buddy
“Frenzy…”--Buddy
“I swear I didn’t know they were coming back so early!”--Frenzy
“You have 10 nanoseconds of a head start before I catch up.”--Buddy
Megatron didn’t think too much of this when he heard about it, he thought it was a prank.
… After that day Buddy was seen more with Rumble than before.
Megatron is starting to think that maybe that wasn’t a prank… but it could still be a long prank.
A really long prank…
Buddy never lost their cool in the heat of battle.
Both sides knew this. It was something they could all agree on.
Buddy always had a failsafe in case the plans didn’t work out, especially whenever Megatron was not able to lead. The Autobots knew that it was important to keep their guard up during those times.
Today’s battle didn’t seem so different from the regular scrimmages they had in the past, it was almost a game at this point.
Buddy was fighting with against some of the Lambo twins, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, when they heard their name being called out.
They turned around and they finally got the human saying of ‘everything going in slow motion’.
All they could see was a familiar blast coming straight towards their chassis. They wouldn’t be able to move out of the way if they could. It was going to hit them straight on.
Then Rumble jumped in the way, taking the shot, and fell a few feet from Buddy.
Buddy just stopped and stared at his limp body in horror as well as the Lambo twins and Soundwave. None of them could believe what had just happened.
The twins moved aside when they saw Buddy slowly moving towards him.
Buddy looking at Rumble’s unmoving frame.
“Rumble?”--Buddy
“…”--Rumble
Buddy walking up the body falling to their knees.
“Rumble? Rumble this isn’t funny! Wake up! Please, wake up!”--Buddy
“…”--Rumble
“Rumble? Rumble! RUMBLE?!”--Buddy
“…”--Rumble
The battlefield went still at the sound of an unfamiliar anguished scream.
Buddy was on their knee next to Rumble, servos trembling trying to remember the medical advice Hook had given them not too long ago.
At some point Soundwave came over, but Buddy was focusing on stopping the bleeding with coolant dripping down their faceplate.
Soon the medics arrived. They tried to take Rumble from their servos, Buddy didn’t let go. They opted to instead transport Buddy with Rumble.
Buddy carefully carried Rumble into Astrotrain with Hook.
Everyone else would fly back on their own.
Hook wouldn’t admit it out loud, but he felt sorry for Buddy and let them be by Rumble the entire time grasping his little servo.
“…You know you bought him some time.”--Hook
“What?”--Buddy
“If you hadn’t tried stopping the bleeding, he probably would have been dead 5 minutes ago.”--Hook
“…”--Buddy
“…You did good kid.”--Hook
“… will he—”--Buddy
“I don’t know. It will have to depend on what happens when we get back to base.”--Hook
“…okay…”--Buddy
Soon they all came to the base, Hook needed Buddy to let go, for Rumble’s sake.
Buddy nodded silently and took a seat outside the med bay doors.
As soon as they hit the seat, Buddy let out some stifled sobs and let the coolant run down their faceplate.
Giving a silent prayer to Primus to spare him as their vision blurred once again with all the coolant coming out of their optics.
Buddy staring at their servos, stained with some of Rumble’s energon mixing with their coolant.
“Buddy!”--Frenzy
Buddy turning to see Soundwave and the cassettes coming their way.
“Buddy: Status on Rumble.”--Soundwave
“He… He’s in the med bay now. It looks bad… I’m so sorry.”--Buddy
“Come again?”--Frenzy
“I didn’t protect him. If I’d move faster—”--Buddy
Soundwave grabbing Buddy’s servos gently.
“Rumble status: Not Buddy’s fault.”--Soundwave
“But—”--Buddy
“Not Buddy fault.”--Soundwave
“If—”--Buddy
“Quit it with the ‘if’s’ and ‘buts’! You are singly one of the best Decepticons we’ve had in forever! But that doesn’t mean your invincible! I know that. Soundwave knows that. Megatron knows that! Rumble knows that and… and that’s why he took that shot. Now do you think my brother would like it if he found out you were out here on your own thinking this was all your fault! No! He’d have my helm if he found that out!”--Frenzy
“Frenzy…”--Buddy
“Frenzy: Correct, minus extra language.”--Soundwave
“Hey!”--Frenzy
“Buddy had not helped Rumble in those moments… He would not have made it back to the base.”--Soundwave
“…”--Buddy
“Buddy saved Rumble like Rumble saved Buddy.”--Soundwave
Buddy nodding slowly.
“Now that we got that through your thick helm, Megatron wants to see you.”--Frenzy
“What?”--Megatron
“Soundwave will notify Buddy of Rumble’s status. Go.”--Soundwave
“…Thank you, all of you…”--Buddy
Buddy came around the corner to find Megatron. He motioned Buddy to come to his habsuite.
They sat on the edge of the berth, Megatron sat next to them.
Buddy half expected a lecture from him about being so reckless today, but to their surprise he placed a servo on Buddy’s shoulder.
“I thought I lost you today.”--Megatron
“Come again?”--Buddy
“I had tackled Prime down, he was about to start blasting when I redirected his blaster… if he hadn’t yelled for your name, I wouldn’t have known that the blast was coming to you.”--Megatron
“What…”--Buddy
“I thought… I thought I had killed my sparkling.”--Megatron
“But now Rumble—”--Buddy
“He will get better. If you’d have taken that blow…”--Megatron
“…”--Buddy
“He was… not the mech I’d think have you wrapped around your digit.”--Megatron
“Megatron—”--Buddy
“Definitely not who I expected to be your future Conjux—”--Megatron
“Megatron!”--Buddy
“The point is I am glad you are still here with me, little one.”--Megatron
“… I’m taller than you…”--Buddy
“Yes, yes you are.”--Megatron
Buddy slipped their helm into their father’s neck cables trying hard not to cry, but he made it harder for them when he started rubbing circles in the back.
Once Rumble was stable, Buddy, Soundwave, and the cassettes ran in to see him.
Buddy let the family have a moment with Rumble first.
“Great to see your up, knuckle head!”--Frenzy
“Quiet down a bit Frenzy, I gotta killer helmache.”--Rumble
“Rumble: Need medics?”--Soundwave
“Nah, I’m fine—What where’s Buddy?”--Rumble
“What?”--Frenzy
“Buddy! Are they okay? The last thing I remembered was—”--Rumble
“Right here.”--Buddy
Rumble looking at Buddy leaning on the doorframe.
Both visibly relaxing.
Buddy moves towards Rumble’s side and slowly grabs his servo.
“You okay?”--Rumble
“Am I, okay? You’re the one who got shot!”--Buddy
“Yeah, not the best. 0 out of 10 stars, do not recommend it.”--Rumble
Buddy laughing wobbly, their hold slightly shaking.
Rumble firmly holds onto Buddy’s servo.
“I thought… I thought—”--Buddy
“Well for the first time in a long time, your wrong. Seriously I after all this time, I’d thought you’d have more faith in me.”--Rumble
“Yeah… never underestimate a minicon, huh?”--Buddy
“Never.”--Rumble
Click!
“Soundwave!”—Buddy and Rumble
“Photos for sparklings.”--Soundwave
“Sparklings?!”--Rumble
Buddy faints on to the floor.
“Buddy!”--Rumble
“Well… on the bright side you have a roommate now.”--Frenzy
“I swear if I wasn’t on this berth, I’d knock out that stinkin’ grin off of your faceplate.”--Rumble
Buddy, once they recovered quickly from the fainting spell, used all their free time to visit Rumble in the med bay telling him stories and the latest gossip. He would need a little more care before he would be allowed out in the field, Buddy was prepared to help him with every step.
A few days later another scrimmage held near the same place as the last time.
Except this time Buddy had somehow managed to get in front of Prime.
Buddy didn’t know what possessed them, but they felt so much anger at that moment.
It was his blaster.
It was his fault.
Optimus’s fault for Rumble getting hurt.
For so many of their family members getting hurt.
It.
Was.
His.
Fault.
Buddy lunged at the Prime with what they would describe as something of raw rage, throwing them both off the cliff they were on.
Buddy remembered hearing so much screaming as they both tumbling down the uneven pathway hitting several trees and rocks denting their armor.
When Buddy stopped rolling, they immediately went to see Prime shaking off the fall. He was still disoriented, now was their chance.
Buddy wasted no time clobbering him, leaving no chance to get up or recuperate.
Buddy now partially sitting on Prime’s chassis grabbed a rock in their servo with full intent of smashing it and their servo into his helm.
It would finally be the end.
But they stopped.
What good would this do?
The bots and cons were going to continue to kill each other for revenge until there was one bot left standing.
But… if peace was made…
No more energon spilled.
No more praying to Primus that they would make it to see the sunrise the next day.
A chance live with loved ones by your side no matter what fraction you came from.
Autobot, Decepticon, Neutrals, everyone would be safe.
Buddy shakingly let go of the rock and got off the Prime’s chassis.
Optimus had looked into Buddy’s optics and sensed the sudden change.
When they had that rock in their servo, they held nothing but an angry fire.
But then the fire slowly started dying down until it was smolders of the once raging inferno.
The pair just sat in silence for a minute.
Buddy was the first to stand up and offered the Prime their servo.
He grabbed it as Buddy helped him up and turned to walk away.
“I’m sick of this war. Someday, I hope we won’t have to be enemies in the future.”--Buddy
“Buddy.”--Optimus
“Yes?”--Buddy
“… If you ever wish to join the Autobots, I would welcome you with open arms.”--Optimus
“I’m sorry, what?”--Buddy
“The choice is yours to make. Just know that I too am sick of this war. Sick of the fighting…”--Optimus
“Sick of losing bots we love?”--Buddy
“Yes… but if we unite together, I believe we have a chance, a fighting chance for peace.”--Optimus
“I…I’ll consider it Prime. Farewell, Prime.”--Buddy
“As to you Buddy.”--Optimus
Optimus made one last look and started walking back to base as well.
Buddy continued to walk/limp back when they saw something fly overhead.
It was Lazerbeak.
The minicon flew straight down and landed on their shoulder looking concern at Buddy.
No doubt the minicon had alerted the others where they were.
Lazerbeak also gave Buddy a couple of pecks to the helm, Buddy guessed this was part of their punishment for pulling a stunt like that.
Buddy took this time to sit down on a nearby boulder for a bit. Falling down a cliff at full speed could do something like that to a bot.
Megatron was the first one to arrive to see Buddy leaning on the boulder with Lazerbeak on their shoulder.
He came faster than the others and hugged Buddy like it was their last day on earth.
“What in the name of Cybertron were you thinking?! Jumping off the cliff with Prime like that!”--Megatron
“Kind of wasn’t…”--Buddy
“I can believe that! How could you—”--Megatron
“As much as I love hearing your lecturing, I have a split helmache and my frame feels like its on more hug away from falling apart.”--Buddy
“Hmmm… it seems that the fall was enough punishment.”--Megatron
“Yeah…”--Buddy
“After all you have something much worse to face.”--Megatron
“Wait what?”--Buddy
“Buddy!”--Frenzy
“Oh boy…”--Buddy
Soundwave and the other cassettes followed suite with a small search party.
The cassettes let out a small string of empty threats. They were just glad Buddy wasn’t hurt too badly.
Soundwave helped Megatron get Buddy up on their pedes and flew them back to base.
“Well, I think I went through that punishment faster than I thought.”--Buddy
“That wasn’t your punishment.”--Megatron
“What?”--Buddy
“Buddy punishment: Telling Rumble what happened.”--Soundwave
“WHAT!”--Buddy
“Yeah, you’re on your own there.”--Frenzy
“Nope, no, no, no—”--Buddy
“You don’t have a choice.”--Megatron
“Nice knowing ya Buddy. House arrest is imminent.”--Frenzy
“…Primus help me…”--Buddy
