Imagine if one day humanity left the planet/system en masse for some reason, leaving their old creations behind without a second thought. Cybertron falls into civil wars and chaos for millenias until an (un?)intentional reunion with their creators.

Get it? Time work differently in the pocket universe? Ok, sorry that was cringe😔. But anyway-

Ohhhhh, i like that! Imagine going back to check on your creations just to see their planet is currently an absolute scraphole right now.

Humans and cybertronians can be very similar. In this AU, it would actually kinda make sense in a way. Like father like son/j humanity would probably see themself in their creations. Earth have a long list of war and conflict with eachother. Seeing history repeating itself on Cybertron, i like to think we would help or guide them (or at least try).

Now, i have some ideas for how the bots would react: under cut↓

One - humans are seen as myth on Cybertron (for example: the concept of some higher being created us- or aliens). Some would probably think we're not...real? they're baffled to meet their og creators (or Primus's creators) that they once thought were just myth. Oh, and SOME bots would fall into existential crisis (like Tyrest hehehehehe) since I remember there's the whole xenophoic or organic-phobic thing too.

Two - they have zero idea who we are, we're a complete new species to them. Didn't know they were created by us in the first place and would have a hard time believing so. Again with some of the xenophoics, this time in denial until we proved it and then they went into existential crisis again.

Three - this is mostly just to stroke my slight god complex, but heyyyyyy what if they looked up to us. Having created the cybertronians, i imagine it's possible they would recognize n heck even have relics or records. I think this would make a bit more sense if placed in TFA, maybe then it'd explain why there's ninjas robots. Possibly learn and took some inspirations from it. Also it would be kinda funny to see human slangs written in history datapads, 'ligma' and 'updog' being the cause of multiple arguments among the scientists- ok ok I'll stop now.

Sorry for ranting so much!

Mylee's ECT, Part 1: Through the Looking-Glass

"Ah, we're just in time," Nurse Jen said. She stopped her brisk walk down the narrow hallway, turning to a large window. "Good."

Danice caught up with her just as she turned. Jen had been moving pretty quickly, and Danice definitely didn't want to seem like she was falling behind. This hallway was unfamiliar to her, and she had trouble keeping up. She was even sweating a little under her blue sterile cap. Jen didn't even look like she had exerted herself at all; her purple scrubs were perfectly crisp.

Danice wasn't sure if she was supposed to speak up or not.

The two nurses stood at the observation window of the Electrophysiology Lab, which Danice reasoned must be the next stop on her familiarization tour. It was her first week at SMC and she was doing the rounds under several experienced members of the staff. She desperately wanted to pass their scrutiny, and she was already feeling overwhelmed with everything going on throughout the hospital.

Looking through the large window set into the wall of the hallway, Danice saw a young female patient - slight build, pale skin, maybe 20 years old - being prepped for some kind of procedure. The patient was sitting up, slouched, staring into the distance. It was like she didn't even notice them peering into the room. She acquiesced calmly, almost dumbly, as a female doctor with perfectly styled short brown hair guided her to lay back on the procedure table.

"Do you have any questions?" Jen asked, without looking away from the window.

Danice perceived Jen's question almost like a test. What was the right response? She took in the scene: the patient was on the monitors, nasal cannula, sterile protocol…the cranial electrodes were the only jarring detail. But there was something - well, peculiar about the whole thing.

"Can the patient not see us?" Danice finally asked, quietly.

Jen was silent for a moment. "Excellent question." Danice tried to let out her breath silently, lest Jen know how relieved she was. "She shouldn't be able to, no. This is a one-way mirror, like in several of the rooms along this hall." Jen's subtle gesture led Danice's glance down the length of the hallway, and she began to notice other similar scenes, with small knots of observers standing in front of other windows. Oddly, she realized that they were all SMC staff. Doctors, nurses, technicians.

"Is this a staff-only area?" Danice asked, taken aback.

"That's correct," Jen said. "For observation, consultation, and teaching. Some of our patients are aware, but most aren't. It isn't secret, though - it's in every care agreement we provide. Most patients probably don't notice."

Danice turned back to the scene in the room before them. The patient was leaning back on her elbows, and the physician was checking the monitors. "Who is she?"

Jen looked briefly at her digital chart. "Her name is Mylee. She's under treatment for severe mood disorders with 'mixed features'." Tapping on the chart, Jen paused. "...she exhibits bipolar behavior as well as…stubbornly resistant depression."

Danice nodded, without looking away from the patient. "I assume ECT, then, given the cranial electrodes. The cardiac monitor, too, I suppose…why in the E-P Lab, rather than - well, an ECT suite or down in psych?" She was fully engaged now.

Jen looked at Danice for a moment, with a subtle approving glance. "Good observations. Did you also notice the IVs? Or the other equipment? There's a detail here you might not be aware of."

The several hanging bags of meds didn't give up their secrets easily. Danice relaxed her glance, taking in everything she could. She thought for a moment, imagining in her mind's eye what the scene would look like in a textbook, or on clinical rounds… "Oh!" She quietly exclaimed. "Um…okay, that's odd."

Waiting a beat, Jen prompted. "You see it, right?"

"There's…no anesthesia prep. Is this - is this unsedated?" The catch in Danice's voice was obvious.

"That's correct. Doctor Kari is developing an unsedated approach to this treatment," Jen gestured toward the trim, dark-haired physician attending to Mylee, "that she's calling Awake ECT. She's had some success, and Mylee has volunteered to be part of the clinical study."

Danice was impressed and also surprised - almost shocked, really - by the possibility of seeing unsedated ECT performed. "How does she manage it?"

Jen spoke easily, from memory. "A combination of muscle relaxants and paralytics, with adjusted ECT currents seem to be the answer. Doctor Kari is even able to interact with the patient during treatment."

Danice watched as Mylee settled in, fully laid down on the treatment table. "It's fascinating."

They watched Doctor Kari continue her prep, adjusting Mylee's IV. "Would you like to assist?" Jen asked.

Danice turned to look at the senior nurse, her eyes eager. "Are you kidding? I mean…yes. I'd love to."

"Well, let's get in there." Jen smiled.

Not at all happy with the dragons design, expect that to get reworked. Anyway here’s ford and his dragon! She is very tolerant of his many many experiments, and is very intolerant of his constant habit of throwing himself into danger to study things! More thoughts in the tags

I physically NEED a fanfic about bakugou being gay but it's about him just loving, loving men and just euphoria over being with a man he loves and loving being gay and loving his identity and being able to love a man.
