#When a Prime Falls

I love royalty AUs so much. I love them, but I swear I feel like there isn’t enough of them for transformers. This is a sneak peek into it:
It was beyond difficult to hide the cold dread and rage that had been building over the past few days. Alpha Trion had won, after all these orbital cycles. He’d found a way to dispose of Orion without inciting questions or doubt. He could say it’s for the good of Iacon. He could call it divine will. He could claim a million other things and they would believable. How he had taken these absurd circumstances and twisted them in his favor was a horrid work of art.
Ratchet didn’t understand. How can someone do something so cruel to their own child? How does a parent sell their son to a ruthless mech like Megatron? He supposed it didn’t matter. They had failed. He had failed. Orion was going to be sent away to be a warlord’s toy, and there was nothing he could do about it.
He pinned a proud, golden brooch to the front of his cloak, carefully straightening it. “There,” he said. “What do you think?”
Orion tilted his head, admiring it in the mirror. “It looks like the Matrix,” he said, tracing over the smooth, simplified shape. “Wasn’t this carrier’s?”
Ratchet nodded. “It was. Now, it’s yours.”
“Are you sure it’s okay for me to wear this?”
“I’m sure,” Ratchet replied with a small, bitter-sweet smile. “She wanted to wait until the next Prime was named, but I think it’s important for you to have a piece of her today.”
His optics shone brighter for a moment, pressing a hand against the pin and tracing its shape again. Ratchet felt his chest tighten. Perhaps this was a bad idea after all, but Primus, he couldn’t let this be taken away from Orion.
“Thank you,” he murmured, a wide smile breaking over his face. “It means more than I can express.”
Ironhide appeared in the open doorway, wearing his full uniform— decorated in various statuses and awards. He rested a hand on the holster of his blaster. “Yer Highness? It’s time,” he said.
“Thank you, sir,” he responded. Orion’s servos twisted around themselves as he looked between Ratchet and him. “Um… I’ve just realized, there’s one more thing I need. I’ll be right there.”
“I’ll be outside,” the knight said with a brief bow.
“I wont be long,” Orion promised as Ironhide exited the room.
Ratchet opened his mouth to question what else he needed, but before he could ask, a pair of arms were thrown around him. His optics widened.
“Thank you,” Orion said softly. “For… For everything.”
Ratchet wrapped his arms around him, trying like the pit to hold himself together. He swallowed the hard lump in his throat as he pulled him closer into the embrace. He couldn’t imagine the consequences he would face if he were caught right now, touching Orion. A lowly indentured servant was a lowly indentured servant— even with a namesake like his. “A-Anytime.”
Slowly, Orion pulled away and stood up straight heading for the door.
“Orion?” Ratchet called out before he could stop himself.
“Yes?”
He bit his lip, cursing himself and his weakness. “You’ll make Iacon proud,” he said.
Orion gripped onto the door handle rightly, his audial finials twitching back. He chuckled. “I know I will,” he agreed, looking back at him with a smile. “You taught me how to.”
He sighed deeply as he disappeared down the hall, the door clicking shut.
In that moment, Ratchet’s spark had never burned with such rage and hatred before. It was unfair. Unfair was an understatement, but it was the only word he knew of that could describe even a small sliver of the injustice. Ironhide knew. So did Kup. He had told them, and they were all in agreement. Orion couldn’t know. It would shatter him. No, they couldn’t tell him. Not yet.
He ran a servo down his face, tears welling up in his optics. He had the urge to put his fist through the wall. That smile… Orion hadn’t smiled like that in a decacycle. He was the happiest he’d been in so long, and had no idea it wouldn’t last. He thought his sire’s intentions were genuine. He didn’t know the truth.
However selfish it was, Ratchet wished he hadn’t fostered such kindness in him. Such hope. Maybe it would have saved him from this pain…
He sat down heavily on the chaise and buried his face in his servos, a silent, shuddering sob escaping him. It was awful, pretending like he was happy for Orion, and feigning hope for him. Ratchet didn’t think it was right to keep him in the dark, but it was merciful. He cared for the young prince too much to let him experience this agony— this helplessness, just waiting to be sold to the mech who threatened to destroy their home. Ratchet didn’t want this dread and despair to torture him. It would only prolong his suffering. It would rob him of this fleeting moment in time where everything was okay. It would be cruel and pointless.
No one could save him from what was coming, but they could shield him. They could give him the one last comfort of blissful ignorance. It was a lie, a bitter one that tortured Ratchet, but it would grant Orion a handful of restful nights, and some time to be happy and hopeful.
Orion needed that. It was possible he’d never have it again.

Can we just take a moment to think about the fact that what Voldemort did to the Malfoys was so bad that even though he didn't even kill them and even though Voldemort regularly tortures his followers when he's annoyed, all the Death Eaters know about it and are scared it will happen to them too and see it as a notable and exceptionally bad punishment?
He must've hurt them so much. I mean Lucius still has VISIBLE marks on him even though a lot of time has passed. And all this happened because Draco didn't identify any of the members of the Trio even though he recognized them, thus giving them a window to escape. And he also didn't put up much of a fight when Harry went to take his wand. He had lived with Voldemort in his house for a long time. He knew what he was risking. And he did it anyway.

No but Astarion wanting to be valued for more than sex and seen for something that's not just sex regardless of who romances him and Wyll wanting a chaste and genuine romance with sincere and committed courtship with no sex regardless of who romances him is insaneeeeee. I know everyone's talked about this before but everytime I stop to think about it I lose my mind. They couldn't be more narratively bound I'm clawing at the bars of my cage
#I put my lengthy tags in a reblog if you want.#And yes ofc Wyll teaching Astarion compassion and Astarion teaching Wyll to value himself and advocate for himself#Make them perfect for each other#But THIS to me is the nail in the coffin (pun intended) of why they are meant for each other#Wyll would not fall for Astarion's seduction attempts he is the only companion who would not give in to having meaningless sex w him#Or if not meaningless sex then immediate sex ykwim#Likewise Wyll's identity as a monster hunter and a chivalrous champion of the people would make him the prime target of Astarion's whims#Because who better to protect a monster but the monster hunter TURNED INTO A MONSTER himself.#Astarion would jump on the chance to use Wyll's devil transformation to his advantage and Wyll is THE ONLY ONE it wouldn't work on.#Wyll may have fallen first but Astarion fell harder than Elturel when he finally realised Wyll is GENUINELY good#And that he GENUINELY does not want sex and does not love Astarion for the possibility of sex#He asks for a fucking dance. He asks for a fucking dance before he ever even entertains the idea of sex. And he is steadfast about it#And astarion would play along with the romance just until he can get Wyll to help him kill Cazador#But would inevitably fall in love with Wyll along the way no matter what because Wyll is just genuine and chaste no matter what#“Wyll is the type of man I used to dream of marrying. When I was 13” he is doomed to fall for Wyll no matter what and he hates it#wyllstarion#Wyll Ravengard#astarion ancunin#bg3 astarion#bg3 wyll#Bloodpact#Coolest fucking ship name ever also. No one does it like them

love to see viewers acknowledge that Lanfear is manipulative and talk shit about Rand falling for her manipulation and not realizing it, and then one sentence later reveal that they're falling for her manipulation as viewers and don't realize it

When a Prime Falls
Ambition is the deadliest of poisons. It’s an unspoken fact. Codex Prime, one of the most beloved rulers in the history of Iacon, mysteriously falls victim to an assassin’s blade. The killer and their motives remained unknown, but they’ve unknowingly set destiny into motion. Rebels and propaganda are creating a perfect storm to rise up in the wake of the tragedy. The threat to those of noble standings are higher than ever, but they are determined to keep the status quo intact. As long as they keep Codex’s secrets hidden, they’ll be untouchable. Unfortunately, such is much easier said than done.
Orion had already accepted his predetermined fate as an ill-fit heir to the Matrix when his world came crashing down. A new destiny is unfolding for the entirety of Cybertron, and he will find himself at the head of it one day. He has much to learn before he is capable of holding such a burden, but he is determined to find the right path. Along the way, he’ll find twisted truths, buried histories, and pieces of himself he didn’t know existed.

Hello everyone, long time since I’ve written anything! I’ve got several unfinished works, but I am determined to finish this one. I’ve been gone for a while for a variety of reasons, mainly because of my home life and because I’ve been busy trying to earn my BA in Creative Writing! I’m an aspiring author, but I know I need more practice writing for an audience and marketing and such if I want to be successful in the publishing industry. Fanfiction is an awesome way for me to practice without any additional costs to myself! This isn’t a first draft for a book that I’m wanting to publish, but if I do publish something you’ll find some similarities lol. I’m going to be releasing the entire fic at once with a few sneak peeks for you guys here and there, just like I would a real book, so stay tuned!
To those who are interested in following me in this endeavor, I’m grateful for your support ❤️

youtube stop recommending me that five hour long “fall of doctor who” video challenge. there is not a video i could be less interested in watching.
#the youtube clickbait hyperbole is not doing it any favors. im sure there’s nuance in the video. maybe.#god there must be its five hours long.#but i do not think i am interested in a video that wants to be about ‘the fall’ of doctor who when. far as i can tell. seems more like#occasionally it stumbles. and that’s about it.#AND thirteen being the doctor that’s on the thumbnail is also not helping. im sure im making assumptions there too and its just that she was#the current doctor at the time but. this is youtube. you have a negative video. and you put a woman on there. i am primed to believe you are#about to say something insanely sexist lmao.#anyway. whatever.#its a me thing. i dont like watching negative epic teardowns™️ of stuff im not finished with myself. and doubly so when im unfamiliar with#the creator and don’t know if they’ll just be stomping and yelling at something for hours with no purpose or if they’ve got. anything#to actually offer. idk. it’s the shovelware lover in me i think. im not interested in someone’s negative opinion about a thing unless i know#they’re the kind of person who can respect that people still had to put months or years of work into it. maybe that work did not have a#good outcome but someone had to do it. the effort is worth being documented and looked at and not. i don’t know. yelled at like you’re the#nostalgia critic you know? im rambling on to much here#this is why the only good youtube video is folding idea’s video on the american tail video game. he gets it. its about how bad art is still#worth existing and being examined. and doctor who is far from being bad. so.#………..where was i going with this. its 4 am.

RIP Krakoa 🌹 I can’t lie I’ve been kinda behind since midway through Fall of X I’m gonna catch up before my first SDCC this summer but I hear Vulcan didn’t see much action anyway. Anyway my hand slipped and I found myself looking into the eyes of my canonically psychotic son the best Summers brother who’s never done anything wrong in his entire life, (he’s done lotsa wrong things but I love him more for it)
#canonically psychotic = he canonically has psychosis. (not in the ableist way in that hes evil. which he is. lemme enjoy problematic rep)#Gabriel Summers#art by seaweed#words by seaweed#X-Men Red#the Gabriel hate during the Krakoa era pffffft. was 100% from ppl who didnt read the Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire#“he attacked Storm” hes also a genocidal dictator who tortures ppl for catharsis. drunkenly coming at Ororo is the least bad thing he did#“he's a douche” mother of all understatements. now get this man back w his boyfriend who he forced to be his best man under pain of death#Gabriel fans LOVE that Ororo beat his ass. he deserved it. it was a fake discourse made up by a certain segment of goddess!Ororo fans#I say as an Ororo fan! Shes my fav A-list x-man🥰 yes Gabe was at a mental low but Ororo didnt know that. that was Scott's responsibility.#psychotic Emperor Vulcan is what we call a problematic mentally ill villain trope. I love him SO much. (okay lets talk)#we don’t know much about his childhood but we do know he spent 2 years in a fugue state after escaping slavers when he was like ten ):#as an “adult”-ish he's uh “mentally” 15 or sumn according to the calculations claimed to him by his hallucination of his actual child self#and apart from THOSE hallucinations. he’s very paranoid to the point of killing his advisors because he becomes convinced-#that they’re plotting to kill him. they aren't. he relies on Calseye to ground him thru his paranoia. and then of course in the Krakoa era#he believes his energy constructs of Petra and Sway who drink with him till he blacks out every single day are real. he isnt consciously#creating them; but he sees them- and bc he’s a godlike mutant his subconscious makes his hallucinations visible. making everyone uncomfy#Charles tries to use telepathy to FORCIBLY reality check him. which of course triggers his trauma. and GABE is punished for it?#(oh plus our finding out Gabe got brain surgery done on him by some gods outside the universe offpanel. he never does well with tampering)#and now the writers who pushed Hickman out (also RIP Sabretooth & the Exiles. RIP Hellions) want us to be SAD Krakoa is gone?#yes Gabriel is the mentally ill villain trope. but Krakoa never cared for mutants who couldn’t fit in. who were traumatized. disabled. etc#Alex OF ALL PEOPLE should understand that. ALEX should’ve been there for Gabriel. (why wasn't he. did he hold a grudge for past torture.)#Alex also w Murder-Enjoying Disorder but it was actually treated as an illness and those in authority presented as wrong for excluding him#instead of helping him. which v flawed but Hellions was one of the best mental illness comics? like Zeb Wells was conscious of the genre#but Gabriel was just… cast out. for panicking when his prime traumatizer Charles invaded his mind. he deserved help too#and all because his family were annoyed at him for drinking all night and throwing up and passing out on the floor? for being delusional?#And like- all of the summers brothers are nd (Scott's brain damage; Alex's dissociative episodes; Gabriel's psychosis)#I have nothing to say about Adam X ((I highly doubt he's neurotypical and/or mentally healthy)) ((nothing to say abt him tho))#and Gabes paranoia is 100% rooted in his issues of being made to feel like an outsider. like YES the obvious MUTANT identity but also#he thinks his father abandoned him to be a slave. he's not Summers enough for Scott. hes not Shi'ar enough for the Shi'ar
