There were these power bottom Megatron headcanon posts, and in one of them he got Ratchet off by just clenching his valve in different ways while Ratchet's examined him. Extremely sensitive medic hands, you know?

So I'm sorry, @camp-mithril-lake , I'm gonna go ahead and pretend Megatron doing that to Pharma

Get Cucked Tarn Part 2

Pharma definitely doesn't regret deciding to go on a journey with his ex who he'd been holding out for since Delatran and who ghosted him for years. He's fine being friends. Ambulon though needs to stop looking at him pityingly or he'll start mentioning his exes. 

Pharma is settling in. Things feel a bit like Delphi and shift lead switches between himself/Ambulon and Ratchet/First Aid. He has decided to distract himself by bullying Ambulon to finish applying to be recognized as a full doctor and hanging out in Mirage's bar as it is a quieter bar and one that Ratchet doesn't visit as often.

Pharma is maintaining himself well (and successfully avoiding First Aid's attempts to introduce him to the ship therapist).

And then he ends up being the one in the medbay during night shift when Megatron comes in. The meeting is Tense as Megatron's silhouette and even speech patterns are horrifyingly familiar after spending time with Tarn. But Pharma is a damn good doctor so he feeds him and then when he tries to leave bullies him into a full exam because his records haven't been updated. Megatron is also tense and moves in Pharma's peripheral to almost grab his wing in a way that reminds him of Tarn and makes him freeze which instantly drains Megatron of any hostility because the superficial similarity to Starscream had been making him start to go into old habits but the fear response is different and shocks him. Pharma dismisses him and says he'll need his full work up later and flees leaving a shame-faced Megatron.

Megatron is left to contemplate it while Pharma calms himself in the office.

They mostly avoid each other though Pharma hears from the First Aid Rumor Mill, Megatron has voluntarily started to visit Rung while Rodimus has still not left his room despite Magnus hanging around an hour the day before and other random gossip. Pharma nods along and pretends like he isn't listening. He doesn't like how he'd frozen up and his reaction and shakiness afterwards infuriates him. He decides he has to face his fears in a way that he controls.

He makes an appointment for Megatron and makes sure to include Magnus to make sure he shows. 

Megatron does show up stiff and uncomfortable and says he'd thought he might have someone else like Ambulon and that offends Pharma who yells him that he is more than capable and has been a doctor longer than Ambulon has existed. Megatron had meant for Pharma's comfort and says as much and Pharma insists he's fine. 

The exam starts with Megatron much too taut to examine. Pharma is unhappy with the tension and strain and the cleanliness but lack of care. Megatron is dismissive and Pharma tells him his professional opinion and then with permission works to treat it. Megatron is doubtful, but lays down and Pharma, who knows Megatron's build too well, skillfully applies pressure until Megatron is loose enough to let Pharma get in the cracks to inspect and oil his joints as needed working on cricks and polishing and general upkeep. Megatron retenses once he gets near his helm so Pharma skips it put notes the similarities to patients his had with mnemosurgery trauma. Basically a massage and full work up and orders for Megatron to take a full soak in a hot oil bath once a week and Pharma will be confirming.

Megatron is somewhat bewildered but accepting and Pharma feels more confident because he handled it and Megatron was strangely easy. He then gives him his food but in a good mood and pushing himself, he always does, eats with him. This leads to an awkward attempt at conversation in which they both try but neither have ever attempted small talk. Pharma gets comfortable talking about Ambulon and First Aid and praising them. Megatron muses about an old desire to be a medic when Pharma voices his own opinions about Forged medical hands being a natural starting advantage but not the be all and end all. Pharma says, bluntly, what's stopping him. Ambulon wasn't on the medical track until he joined the Autobots, there's nothing in the code stopping Megatron from at least knowing basic first aid. Megatron fumbles his Fool's Energon and looks at him mask broken with genuine surprise and Pharma realizes he's probably said something strange but tells the captain to drink so he can go recharge hastily, changing the subject. 

Megatron does and leaves oddly thoughtful.

Little meetings for medical check ups massage and Fool's Energon between them continue to occur because Pharma insists on desensitizing himself. Megatron is strangely polite even as Pharma has the occasional nightmare he ignores.

Then they find a casket and Rodimus returns and they have to confront the Lost Light slaughtered by the DJD.

So Pharma is absolutely going through it, but he's figuring things out and settling into a new rhythm which will be fucked up via Lost Light Typical Shenanigans

Rung will meet with him one day and Pharma will have to confront the bullshit

yep and there's Megatron, the elephant in the room, stirring up our dear friend (derogatory) trauma. Both are making comparisons they'd rather not make, but in general things are going better than they could've gone

Oo so Pharma's trying to be brave on this and this leads to a very crunchy visit with Megatron who's trying, he's trying, but I mean he's IDW Megatron so of course he's pretty rough around the edges.

Awww on Pharma actually encouraging Megs on the medic stuff! Iicr Ratchet was actually less forgiving on this angle of things

So they're actually starting to get along, with Pharma using this to sort of deal with his Tarn related trauma and in general I'd say these are good for Megatron too (especially considering how isolated of a person IDW Megatron feels usually)

Sdfgh tHEN THE FUCKING CASKET SHOWS UP

[transingthoseformers]

Get Cucked Tarn AU 3

Pharma basically blanks out for most of the examination of the LL2 and is a mess afterwards that cannot be near the reminder in the form of Megatron full on flinching from him immediately afterwards in a way that is very visible. He decides to flee back to the planet with the team investigating it afterwards and First Aid is there definitely not keeping an eye on him stop being paranoid Pharma.

Pharma goes with Trailcutterr, Dominus (who's also joined the LL to take care of Rewind's widow) and First Aid when they explore following the disappearing Lost Light fiasco and he and First Aid recognize Kaon on sight.

This leads to a very different incident and an argument about whether or not to let him live (Dominus is arguing to take him in and First Aid is arguing actual fuck this guy in particular). This gives new Vos–that no one k ows about–enough time to sneak around and retrieve Kaon to escape.

Pharma though is not panicking about this while mocking Kaon about his “precious Lord” being an Autobot now and that Pharma has gotten his hands all over him which makes Kaon shrieky. Pharma hadn't meant it that way only that he'd confirmed himself the reality but now it is in his head.

Pharma is twitchy the rest of the time and he is only really close to Ambulon and First Aid and, strangely, almost cordial with Megatron, who takes a moment to check on him noting his reaction though keeping his distance and doing it through the proxy of Magnus and Rodimus who both admit that Megatron/Megs mentioned concern about him. Pharma has also somewhat abducted on of the medical drones as a emotional support animal and taken it to his room to repair and now it follows him around as is distinguishable by the little crooked wings it has.

When everything calms down and time skips happen and with Rodimus taking a more active role in everyone's life and the time traveling incident, they've all been distracted. Ratchet is having more trouble with his hands and refusing to let Pharma assist, passing on more and more of his duties to him and First Aid, while acting distant. Pharma's nightmares have gotten worse following seeing the destruction caused by the DJD to the LL2 and the short confrontation.

First Aid trying to trick him into talking to Rung is honestly making it worse. Though Ambulon is helping on that side saying forcing him is not helpful and Aid needs to give him space. Pharma resoonds by lovingly tormenting Ambulon by viciously quizzing him as he's about to take his licensing exam.

Megatron has been avoiding him to the point of turning around if he's in medbay which he knows because Megatron has been checking with people first and Whirl asks what he did that made Megahron so terrified of him. It is both a relief and insulting and a new tangle he is not addressing.

When Ratchet finally cracks and lets Pharma do a full checkup and repair what he can of his hands and listens to him talk about working to rebuild new hands by collaborating with Ambulon and Brainstorm, who is startlingly good at it, things seem brighter. Pharma feels normal, Ratchet listening as he rambles about medicine and touching and its nice and not tense. Pharma asks if he wants to get a drink later as friends and Ratchet hesitates, squeezes his hand and praises his skills, before saying yes. 

And then he fucks off leaving a note that he'll have to do a “raincheck on that drink” and appoints Pharma as CMO.

This is kind of Pharma's snapping point and he is hurt and wanting to lash out and having nightmares about Tarn that make him fantasize about ripping his plating off and he isn't sleeping and then he realizes while checking on Megatron's records all of which show pojted visits around Pharma's schedule that the perfect method for revenge is right there.

Tarn is painfully, lustfully obsessed with Megatron, who is admittedly more bearable than Pharma expected. Pharma can only imagine his reaction if he knew Pharma was the one who got with him. He still has Tarn's comm code. He never blocked it.

Pharma is doing great and is going to seduce his new boss.

Which is of course a completely well thought out and normal decision that won't start a whole messy chaos.

First Aid is horrified upon being informed at Pharma's weekly friend conference–AmbuAid's check in compromise to Pharma's refusal to talk to Rung–while Ambulon does not need an explanation and even somewhat saw this coming and tells Pharma to be careful because Megatron is charming and Pharma gets attached easily.

Pharma denies this and says this is purely for his own vengeance, and it would just be sex so Ambulon should calm down.

oh Pharma oh no

Oh fuck of course Kaon survived, emotions ensue

So Forestock Vos two is in the picture with Kaon and out of the DJD it's just them. Probably.

Pharma stg, yes, let Kaon think what he thinks

Megatron and Pharma are having seriously interesting interactions here

I'm surprised that the fandom doesn't use the medical drones as emotional support devices more often

💖lovingly tormenting💖

I think this is the second time I've seen Brainstorm rebuild medic hands and he's been amazing at it each time

And we say goodbye to Ratchet and hello to Pharma making seriously decision-ey decisions which will turn out fun for us

He still has Tarn's comm code

Pharma no (Pharma yes)

The friend conferences are a good idea

Pharma my guy this will not remain just sex will it, even if it doesn't turn out romantic it'll be more than just sex nahhhh there's emotions to be had here

[transingthoseformers]

I have a very, very specific Pharma On The Lost Light Seduces Megatron To Be Petty concept entirely because he knows Tarn has been writhing in unfulfilled lust for thousands of years.

First Aid is scandalized and judging him, but Ambulon understands fully the reasoning (because he understands Pharma) and just tiredly telling him to "be careful".

I'll tell you more once I'm on lunch if you are open to rare pair.

Double trauma. Loses Terminus and gains a group of ghosts. At least Pharma is someone he never met and doesn't have previous ideas about the stories he heard are close to rumors. With the others though it's harder. Much harder to separate them.

PharMeg friendship? Definitely.

And yes to Pharma's repairs being the ultimate test and Pharma "graduating" Megatron afterwards. To remind him he leaves among people here too who care about him rust and all and he needs connections.

Yes

Exactly

There's so much angst to be had about this

Imagine him meeting FU!Soundwave and he can't save him this time

It's made worse by the sheer sense of LOSS in the Functionist universe considering how the Functionist council ravaged a universe so badly they tried to conquer baseline too

We do not talk enough about the Functionist universe there's so much we can do with it

It must be such a feeling, to have a new family people who care for Megatron after all he's done in baseline (including, in his opinion, abandoning the Lost Light crew. This universe needed him, yes, but it still hurts)

[camp-mithril-lake]

No, no, no. No apologies.

YOU SEE MY VISION.

The Get Cucked Tarn AU was always going to end in bottom/power bottom Megatron. I am just going to canonize this in the mythos of this fic.

Once Megatron starts finally responding, they are doing an exam and Megatron feeling bolder decides to start flirting back and mentions he heard medic hands were sensitive and wondered how much so. Then he starts and gets more confident as Pharma reacts and they both get very, very into this.

Turns into a competition on who can get each other off first. Pharma loses, but definitely doesn't feel like it when Megatron invites him to his rooms later.

First Aid is eyeing them so suspiciously when both of them leave the exam room noodle legged and steaming.

Ambulon looks them both dead in the eyes and transfers himself to be Megatron's primary and tells them to get out of Medical Bay.

There were these power bottom Megatron headcanon posts, and in one of them he got Ratchet off by just clenching his valve in different ways while Ratchet's examined him. Extremely sensitive medic hands, you know?

So I'm sorry, @camp-mithril-lake , I'm gonna go ahead and pretend Megatron doing that to Pharma
