#minor optiratch in the background

Hey! 

I finally finished the first chapter of this fic. :3 

First things first, this whole concept was inspired by @keef-a-corn and their notes on S01E14 of TFP (Sick Mind). More specifically them pointing out the way in which Bumblebee, despite being possessed by Megatron, opens his hand for Ratchet when the latter grabs his wrist. 

You can find the specific post here: https://www.tumblr.com/keef-a-corn/710534208967376896/dats-right-people-its-time-for-keef-watches?source=share 

Please check it out. It’s such a thoughtful and detailed collection of notes on the episode that brings me so much joy every time I look at it. And if you’re at it, they also have notes on most episodes in season 1 of TFP that you should check out, which are just as great. :3 

Summary:

Primus knew, Ratchet would do anything to shield his sparkling from harm. Yet, the War made exceptions for no one, not even at the insistence and threats of grumpy old medics. Thus, sometimes the only thing Ratchet could do was to hold and comfort Bumblebee in the aftermath of disaster.

Or: 5 times Ratchet had to encourage Bumblebee to open his servo. The gritty, the wholesome and the dark.

Or, put differently again: Ratchet (and theoretically Optimus) being Bumblebee’s parent with hints of background Optiratch. Lots of Angst. And 5 different scenarios of Ratchet having to encourage Bee to to open his hand. 

This first chapter is a bit dark and gritty, so please check out the tags and make sure you’re okay before going into it.  Enjoy. ^^
