#rip Orion Pax you would have loved Flo Milli

[blue-phones]

I wanted to share mt friend’s absolutely atrocious AU idea

She enjoys ProwlOp more than most people I know and I love her for it, but my enjoyment of angst has rubbed off on her cuz she just whipped this idea out of no where:

Orion Pax and Prowl have been together for a hot minute and they’re going strong- especially with everything going on around them. What with tensions rising between groups and the general chaos in their system. But they’re strong together. And they love each other.

But then, Orion is chosen for the primusy (primucy? Idk that looks really wrong) and suddenly he’s not the same mech. He remembers faces and names, but he doesn’t remember how in which he knows these people. He’s forgotten what his relationship with each person was.

Ratchet has to stop Prowl from seeing Orion immediately -now Optimus- and explain what’s going on and it shatters Prowl.

He approaches Optimus and ask him some vague questions, but when Optimus only responds as if Prowl is another enforcer to work alongside, it really does shatter him

(More under cut if you care)

Prowl has to beat down all those emotions because quickly the war is starting and he needs to focus on the task at hand. And he does an amazing job at it. At ignoring it. Those feelings fester and bubble but he keeps shoving them down.

Optimus feels like there’s more than what the Praxian-or anyone- is telling him but he can’t push. Doesn’t want to break the already tender relationship he has with his head tactician.

But then one day, post a rough raid where Prowl is in awful condition and he just wants to rest. Optimus wishes to talk. Prime isn’t sure why he needs to talk with Prowl so badly, but he does. Something is bugging at him and he needs the answer.

So on so on Prowl finally snaps at Prime, something like “I’m so sorry you forgot everything but I didn’t! So stop torturing me with your presence and fuck off” and storms off. Ratchet is near by and has to sweep in and collect a very bewildered Prime.

Explanations are bad and that’s all she’s told me AND I AM LOSING IT

(Btw, most of what I just typed is what I’ve expanded upon for her while the main time line is her own creation)
