Ask prompt, 001 for ReTired Trio/Bayverse RatchHide

Retired Trio:

When I started shipping it: Gosh, has it been over a year now? A bit longer? I can't quite remember.

My thoughts: Beautiful older men who finally found comfort and safety in each other's arms and wouldn't trade it for the world.

What makes me happy about them: Really, that they're happy. They've been alone or struggling for a long time. Even if their past relationships fizzled out, they still remain friends with their old flames (except Ratchet). But they give each other a reason to wake up each morning. They know where they belong now and have purpose. Especially Ironhide who was struggling to adjust to civilian life. He was trying to hold it together and felt like he was losing the battle there for a while until he made that fateful decision to visit the museum one afternoon and see a certain man. The phone number scribbled in his copy of a book gave him the push to get better.

What makes me sad about them: Ratchet was miserable for so long in a bad marriage. In hindsight he feels like he wasted so much of his life and often thinks of his mortality and how short a time he has with his husbands now. Even nestled between them, their breathing calm and even and hearts beating beneath his ear the thought of losing them keeps him up on many a night.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: Uh, considering I'm the one writing them.. maybe that I don't write them enough?

Things I look for in fanfic: Major cock cuddling

Who I'd be comfortable with them ending up with, if not each other: Their old flames. Hide with Chromia. Optimus with Elita, or Megatron, who was the first man he'd ever laid with on a one night stand after falling out with Elita, which led to his bi-awakening. Ratchet, well, I'd rather him be alone than with his old partner.

My happily ever after for them: Grow older together.

Who is the big spoon/little spoon: Ratchet is the little spoon, crushed between two big spoons.

What is their favorite non-sexual activity: Eating home-cooked meals from Optimus. Watching Ironhide flaunt his physique at the beach. Ratchet rubbing aloe on Ironhide's sunburns because he got burned at the beach. Little domestic things.

Bayverse Ironhide/Ratchet:

When I started shipping it: Back in 2011 when I first got into tf thanks to DOTM. Thanks Sentinel for hurting me so quickly.

My thoughts: I love these two so much. They make me stupidly happy. I have never shipped two characters harder than these two.

What makes me happy about them: The little touches in background scenes. How they're always either touching or need to be near each other. The fondness for proximity.

What makes me sad about them: Thinking of them pining for each other for centuries and only building the courage to bond when they arrive to earth after TF07, thinking the war is drawing to a close. But they're only bonded for a mere 5 years before Ironhide is taken from Ratchet. Barely even a blink to a Cybertronian.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: Ratchet throwing wrenches and being a grump that threatens the other bots. That might work on G1 or idw Ratchet, but bayverse Ratchet is a cinnamon roll pacifist who is a genuinely kind person.

Things I look for in fanfic: All the fluff with these two.

Who I'd be comfortable with them ending up with, if not each other: Optimus. They keep him grounded. Maybe Ratchet with Que...

My happily ever after for them: A peaceful life on Earth. The war is over and they can wake up wrapped in each other.

Who is the big spoon/little spoon: They swap positions a lot. Ironhide the big spoon usually, but it's not permanent. He and Ratchet will naturally settle into what they need that night. They can read each other easily. Sometimes Ratchet just knows when Ironhide is feeling low and gathers the mech in his arms.

What is their favorite non-sexual activity: Going on long drives to nowhere. Cloud watching and star gazing. Going to zoos/aquariums and seeing small animals (holoforms obviously.) Ironhide practically has to drag Ratchet away from the touch tanks. I sometimes think of them taste-testing earth foods while in holoforms, going to restaurants and foodtrucks.

TFA Ratchet X TFA Ironhide hcs!!! I need those in my life!

in season 4, Ironhide was supposed to “replace” Bulkhead on Optimus’s team when they went to Earth.

Ratchet is distant and cold at first. who does this guy think he is??

Bee remembers him from Autoboot camp of course and when Ratchet finds out how Ironhide was back then it doesn’t win him any favor, even though he apologizes.

Ironhide feels super out of place because of this.

but over time, Ironhide proves himself to be a changed bot, who has matured a lot since his boot camp days.

Ratchet figures maybe he was unnecessarily harsh, Ironhide is actually a pretty good bot.

Ironhide starts to feel more at ease.

feelings don’t develop for quite a while.

neither of them initiate. Ironhide’s pretty boisterous but he’s shy about this particular thing, and Ratchet is too obstinate. most likely Sari or someone else convinces them to try going out because it got to be too much to watch.

Ironhide is the more energetic one, wanting to always go out and do stuff, he doesn’t like to just sit around. Ratchet does though…nothing better than sitting around if you ask him.

it’s not something either of them or the rest of the team expected, but that’s just how it is sometimes.

Happy to say that dratchet and ratchide is canon in my au

But the person drift me Ironhide dating actually two different person

How?

Why have one ratchet when you can make him a twinsie that is a copy paste + more murderous intentions

ghsgfsdfs amazing. double ratchet

ratchhide and ironhide/chromia are canon in my au, but there is only one ratchet ...which was entirely a mistake because ratchet and ironhide were meant to be dating and then i turned around and gave chromia a wife i mean ironhide bc i forgot. so.. polyamory! vodid's first true rarepair?

[vodid]

👉👈 sunny and sides obkau soon? With dadchet and dadhide?

RatchHide soon?

currently building up those characters :) they most likely will not interact much in this au 😔 could change, but the current plan does not give a close relationship between them

and yes, ratchhide :) they are not husbands yet tho
