He was desperate, charming, delusional and all around annoying but there was no way you could hate him, he was just too endearing. Arthur had been following you around the Justice League tower all day like a lost puppy, showering you with any compliment he could think of. 

“I’d bet you’d look great dressed in kelp.” You came to a screeching halt and whipped around, brow raised at the huge man who was walking behind you. “Y’a know when we get married, you’ll have to wear something seafood-like and I think kelp would compliment your skin perfectly.” Your face, which already seemed permanently heated from all the attention, got even hotter.

“Oh my god.” You groaned, hiding your face behind the file you were holding.

“Actually, I think coral might look better on you, maybe a starfish or two.”

“Arthur!” You hissed, hyper aware of the fact that you were in a building full of superheroes who did not appreciate fraternisation in their League.

But Arthur just smirked as he leaned against the wall only a few inches from you. “C’mon, just let me take you out already.” He practically begged, a stark contrast from his casual stance. 

As hard as you might try, you couldn’t resist those big amber eyes looking down at you like you were his whole world. Sighing, you gave him a nod. “Fine, one date! Just one!” Immediately his back straightened and he wrapped you in a tight hug, making you yelp.

“You better go put some socks on princess cause I’m about to knock them off!” And with that, he bounded away, chattering to himself about what kind of date he would take you on.

“Are you sure about picking that one? I know lots of better men and women that would do anything for a chance with you.” Diana practically materialised by your side, gazing disapprovingly at her teammate. 

You chuckled. “Well, he is kind of cute.”

——————

It wasn’t just one date, it was five. Barely 10 minutes into your first date (he brought you to the fucking aquarium) you were lost forever.

The flirting never stopped either, in fact, it somehow got worse. Every second sentence that left his perfectly kissable mouth was either a compliment or some lewd joke that was so bad it even made Batman blush. So you were expecting Diana to come crawling to you, begging it to stop for the sake of everyone else.

You started that morning, as soon as Arthur stepped from the zeta tube. You wolf-whistled and gave him a slow once-over. “Damn baby, if you were a Transformer you'd be Optimus Fine.” He froze comically, his eyes wide, his jaw dropped open in shock. He pulled himself together quickly and wrapped your wide hip in a bruising grip, smashing his lips to yours.

As Arthur scoured the fridge in the League kitchen several hours later, you walked into his peripheral vision and smirked as your own gaze fell onto his pert backside. “Do you drink a lot of Sprite? Because you look so-da-licious!” His head whipped around with a sickening click.

“What did you just say?” You shrugged.

“You heard me, sexy.” He groaned as his eyelids fluttered. You winked at him and turned to leave, abandoning Arthur with his little ‘problem’.

The conference room was dead silent as you all looked over your individual assignments with the occasional shuffling of papers or the sound of someone clearing their throat. Your new boyfriend sat beside you, one large hand planted firmly on your plump thigh, his fingers gently rubbing circles into the soft skin. 

Just as you finished off your reading a deafening sound came from the man beside you as he violently sneezed into his elbow. Immediately, everyone looked his way. “I would've said "God bless you" after that sneeze, but it looks like he already has.” Now all eyes were on you as you smirked evilly. They all groaned collectively at the bad line. 

Arthur’s hand tightened on your leg in warning. You squeezed his hand in return. “Stop.” He muttered under his breath as the others returned to their work, Diana smiling suspiciously.

“Stop what?” You asked dumbly.

“You will run out of pick-up lines eventually and when you do, I’ll be there.”  “Oh love, I could do this all day.” You retorted with a kiss to his bearded cheek.

Tiny!Transformers Ratchet

[Saw this a few months ago some where, i sadly don't know where anymore, and the idea came back to me so i decided to make this.]

[I will make other bots too and if you want some scenarios etc.]

It started of as an normal sunday, you and the other kids had a sleepover at the base, in disguise of a sleepover at your place so their parents wouldn't be suspicious about it, and where still a little tired.

Raf just got up and was just reading something while eating breakfast and Jack was still sleeping.

Bulkhead and Arcee where on a mission to possibly find a new relic and Miko was allowed to go with them.

You where just vibing in the medbay and slowly waking up but you still wanted to help Ratchet.

It only got a little more hectic when Miko was back and started to be loud, nothing new about that tbh.

"Hey Ratchet! Look what we found in some old mine! It looks like a music box!"

You could hear Ratchet sigh out of frustration at Miko's nonstop talking but he didn't say anything yet.

Arcee gave Ratchet the relic and to be honest if you didn't know better you too would think that it was a speaker that they used on festival's and concerts.

You heard Jack groan, Miko probably woke him up, and Arcee chuckle before walking towards him and having a small chat.

"What do you think is this Ratch'?

"I'm not sure yet, Y/n, but i will try to find it out by getting a look inside"

You examined it from where you sat, a hammock that was way to big for you that was hangig between the monitors, and the more you looked at it the more it looked like some sort of gun out of your eyes.

It was relatively blocky but it had some sort of trigger and there where also many buttons on the seemingly back.

Both you and Ratchet flinched when you heard Miko's guitar sounds trough the base.

The relic fell down because Ratchet's arm moved a little to fast and it landed with a loud bang on the floor.

Ratchet was about to say something, chances are high he was about to scold Miko, but the relic suddenly made a whirring sound and the room was filled with a white flash for a minute or so.

When you could see again you couldn't see Ratchet, you looked around but still saw the others.

You jumped down onto where the relic stood a few moments ago and looked down to see the relic with a few cracks and some sparks coming out of it.

You also saw something on the floor, you quickly got down but it seems like Bulkhead and Miko where faster than you.

"Ratchet got shrunk down! Awww you look kind of cute like that-"

"Miko don't you dare think about it!"

When you where on the floor you saw it clearly: Ratchet, a very grumpy Ratchet, he couldn't be taller than 40 inches.

Miko was about to pick him up but you could stop her from doing so by stepping in front of her.

She let out an audible groan and pouted at you for ruining her fun.

While you where busy protecting Ratchet from a touchy Miko where Optimus and Bumblebee back from a scouting mission.

"What happened here?"

"We don't know to be honest.."

Bulkhead got Miko to sit on his shoulder after some time, which both you and Ratchet where thankful for, and you helped Ratchet onto the small human area so Optimus could see him and talk with him.

"What are we gonna do now?"

"I am not sure, we will try to repair the relic and turn Ratchet back to his original size but we don't know what to do until then."

"It was already hard to not step on you kids but Ratchet now? It seems impossible.."

There was a short moment of silence before Optimus had an idea.

"Could anyone of you four help us with Ratchet? Your size would make it a lot easier."

You looked at each other and there was a moment of awkward silence before Jack spoke.

"I'm not so sure how i could explain that to my mom Optimus.. I mean i would love to help but i don't think i can."

"I'm afraid that i can't too. Tomorrow is a holiday and my family is having a small trip, i can't really bring him there."

You could see Miko grin and it seems like Ratchet saw it too because you saw a worried look in his eye.

You didn't have anything to do tomorrow, your parents would only be there in the morning, go to work and back in the late afternoon to go to sleep.

"I could. I have nothing to do tomorrow and my parents wouldn't even be at home to see Ratchet."

"I have nothing to do tomorrow too! We could both watch over him, my host parents wouldn't even question why he is there."

You believed that, Miko told you sometimes about her home here and in Japan, and from what you heard she did you could understand why her host parents where a little scared of her, you would be too.

"I take Y/n's offer."

It was clear that he would choose you, you where his charge and you where sure he was horrified of going with Miko, and you had a feeling that Miko knew it too.

That didn't stop her from pouting but she begrudgingly accepted it.

You stayed for a hour or so before all had to go home, you didn't have to considering it wasn't even 3 pm and your parents wouldn't be home in a few hours but you decided that it would help everyone on the base if Ratchet was away for a short time.

He probably doesn't even know it but he was pressuring everyone around him about turning him back.

You got driven back by Optimus because there was no one else that could.

"Thanks for the drive Optimus. Just text me or call me when you repaired the relic."

"Of course, i wish you a good night Y/n and i promise you Ratchet, we will find a way to turn you back."

"I sure hope so, goodbye Optimus."

You had to take an elevator to your apartment, because you wouldn't be walking into the 21th floor with him in your backpack.

You opened the backpack once you where inside the elevator to look if he was okay, thankfully no one took the elevator that moment, and he just looked around confused.

"Is this your 'home'?"

You had to laugh at his comment but soon you stopped when you reached your floor.

"No, that's my home, over there."

You gave Ratchet a small tour of your home, it wasn't big or luxurious but it was enough for you.

The only room you didn't show him was your parents bedroom, obviously, and your room because you where a little embarrassed about showing it to him.

You where in the kitchen while Ratchet was looking at your living room, the kitchen has an open wall that lead into the living room, and you made yourself a sandwich and took some juice out of the fridge.

"Y/n what room is that? I don't recall that you told me what room that is."

"Oh? That's my room, nothing wild."

"I would like to see it."

It would have happened sooner or later, you just nodded and told him that when you finished eating you will go to your room.

You looked at the clock really quick to see that it was almost 5 pm now, your parents would be home soon.

You stoop up and Ratchet followed suit, it seems like he was really curious about your room.

"Here it is, don't expect too much please."

You let Ratchet in your room and closed it behind him so that if your parents come home they wouldn't see him.

Ratchet went straight for your TV that was on the opposite of your bed while you just took the remote and sat down on your bed.

"What is this?"

Ratchet held a CD in his hand from your favorite game.

"Just a game of mine, do you want to play it?"

Ratchet shook his head and you just shrugged before putting on a random movie to watch with him.

You patted the space beside you so he would sit down next to you.

Ratchet just let out an 'annoyed' sigh and sat down next to you.

By the end of the movie you where barely awake and Ratchet told you to just lay down so you won't fall over and hurt yourself.

So you did, but in your groggy state you didn't seem to think and hugged Ratchet from behind and went under the covers.

He just grumbled while the next movie came on and decided that you won't even remember it and that it is actually comfortable like this.

You did remember and when you where alone you would sometimes tease him about being the perfect teddy bear.

The next day you got an text from Optimus that the relic is repaired and that he will be waiting for you in the next parking lot.

You where kinda say about it but you knew that the base would sink into chaos without the medic.

It was still one of the best day's in your life and for Ratchet it was a good way to make him relax a day.

[fandom-go-round]

hey there! could we get that classic summer cliche, the infamous popsicle? 😂 blue raspberry happens to be my favorite flavor, so i think the Prime universe will do well for this;

maybe June or Reader brought popsicles on base for the kids to cool off, but those things get drippy real fast in the Jasper heat so they’re pretty likely to make a mess of whoever has one. can we get some flustered reactions (from any of your favorite bots) to their human S/O lappin up a blue one? i’m always a sucker for suggestive summer

I’m not saying that I love the grumpy medic, all I’m saying is that he’s a cutie and I would pinch his cheeks if I could. AKA everyone wants me to pick my own bots and it’s just the same bots over and over LOL

Warnings: Sexual Situations, Implied Sexual Content, Bots Getting Flustered, Robot x Human Relationship

Optimus Prime:

Optimus is enjoying how excited the kids get at the prospect of popsicles. It reminds him of when Cybertron had more than just basic energon and there were treats to go around. He knows that Nevada is hot but he assumed the base was cool enough that they wouldn’t melt immediately.

He should be offering to grab napkins but the words die in his vocalizer as the blue drips down your throat. You’re making muffled sounds of protest so you try to prevent the spill from getting worse but it’s no use. It’s all over your hands, clothing and face.

Optimus tries to be respectful. He sees humans as complex beings with just as much autonomy as his kind. None of his thoughts are respectful as your tongue darts out (dyed bright blue) to lick the trail curling down your wrist. It doesn’t stop the thought that you would look good covered in his transfluid and if you would lick it up as eagerly as you did the popsicle.

His fans kick on but no one hears because the kids are shrieking and Ratchet is scolding everyone to clean up. He quickly excuses himself to grab something to clean up the mess, needing to leave the room as quickly as possible. He pointedly ignores the look at June gives him, the nurse smirking as Optimus tries his best to push the dirty thoughts out of his head.

Ratchet:

Ratchet has been trying all summer to get the kids to increase their water intake. No one is going to be dehydrated on his watch and it takes a little while for June to convince him to let them bring in sweets. As much as he grumbles about it, he’s more than willing to see the kids happy. It’s the sugar rush that he’s less excited about.

He warns them that the popsicles will make a mess but is promptly ignored. He’s grumbling as he turns back to the computers, seeing you struggle out of the corner of his optics. You’re enjoying your treat but it’s getting out of hand, moving down your hand and throat. Ratchet isn’t surprised to admit that he finds you attractive and the way that you respond to his flirting tells him that you’re interested too.

Ratchet doesn’t feel ashamed that he’s enjoying your struggling. You swear lightly as it breaks in half, catching it before it falls to the ground and just getting blue everywhere. Your lips and tongue are stained and Ratchet smirks as you start whimpering and dripping on the floor.

You must have heard him because you turn to face him, tongue ticking out of your mouth to lick the blue going down your wrist. Ratchet just raises an optic ridge, making a point of looking between your mouth and the rest of you. He senses when your heartbeat speeds up, quickly looking away and going to grab some napkins. He feels more than sees Arcee glare a look into the back of his helm. He’s going to have to follow up with you later then, preferably when the kids are gone and the two of you are alone.

Bulkhead:

Miko had been complaining all day about the heat and Bulk had to agree, it was getting to be a pain. He had been letting her hang out in his cab and blast the AC, perking up when June and you showed up. The nurse was quick to distribute popsicles to the kids, Bulk transforming to greet you. You gave a smile and asked about his day, both of you keeping half an eye on the kids.

He always enjoyed chatting with you; you were kind and always willing to talk to him. You never made him feel stupid and it was refreshing to have conversations with someone besides the other bots. Bulkhead loved his crew but they fell into old habits. It was refreshing to talk to someone new. And you were cute and smart and – ok maybe he had a crush. Maybe he had a big crush.

June interrupts your talk to hand you a popsicle and gives Bulkhead a wink before going to grab her own. Ok maybe he has a huge, giant, obvious crush but it’s fine because you haven’t noticed and he’d never ever tell you and Primus you’re making a mess everywhere. Bulk is frozen as you start struggling in front of him, treat already half melted and all over your hands. You’re a good sport about it, laughing and joking as you try to prevent dripping everywhere.

Please call back later, Bulkhead is not available at the moment. His processor has shorted out and he can’t look away from your face and hands. He’s not a completely obvious mech and this is too much for him. He should be able to pull himself together but he’s never going to be able to get this imagine out of his head. It takes Bee shaking his arm to bring him back to the room where everyone is staring at him and he’s immediately embarrassed. He makes a hasty retreat, Ratchet laughing to himself and Arcee smirking. June looks proud of herself and you’re just confused, asking if he’s ok. Bulk isn’t going to be able to talk to you for a week.

Ultra Magnus:

Magnus blames Ratchet for his impure thoughts. He had just finished getting the ‘Human Sexuality 101’ lecture from the doctor, something he didn’t think was completely necessary. There was no way they were going to stay long enough on Earth to have those kinds of relations, even if Ratchet gave him a knowing look.

He respects you. You’re a valuable part of the team and you add a level head that’s needed with the kids around. You don’t find it awkward to talk to him and go out of your way to make him feel welcomed. Ultra Magnus might find you… aesthetically pleasing as well but that’s only because he’s been learning about human art and culture.

He has nothing to excuse his thoughts now. He had tried to corral the kids into one spot to minimize the mess but it hadn’t worked. He’s in the middle to grabbing something to clean up with when he turns to see you struggling. Magnus feels like his processor is having issues rebooting. You’re trying to lick the popsicle as quickly as possible and then you wrap your lips around the bottom and suck. The sound makes him flinch and his fans turn on with a loud clang.

Now he’s a big mech. He’s an old mech. Magnus has, contrary to most bots beliefs, been in relationships and knows how to identify his own attraction. It’s been a long time since he’s felt these things and it’s a mix of exciting and terrifying. His ignores the confused voices behind him as he turns smartly on his heels and leaves the room. No one sees him for the rest of the day but it’s better that way; he needs to think about this and now.

Tf animated

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most):

optimus! i think the distinct spin on the usual leader archetype that prior incarnations fell into served well to differentiate and also provide a new perspective on relationships to authority that was briefly explored in tfa, especially in regards to his team and high command ALSO i just think he's a sweet and noble character that does his absolute best with the cards he's dealt :] everyone that treats him like an uwu baby is getting drawn and quartered

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped):

i HATE to refer to bee as my baby even by proximity because only very weird people tend to do this but he's pretty cute. i like this fun teenager. holding him like a ferret

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave):

despise how bulkhead can fit into this category considering he's a main character but! i love him! i genuinely enjoy every time he's on the screen especially when he's given the spotlight for an episode, he has an endearing personality + more depth than some give him credit for and i just wish he was allowed to assert himself more in s3 i get that he's the comic relief character but everyone's such a dick to him in that season after his space building skills were revealed 😭

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week):

cliffjumper he looks funny and doesnt die <3

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave):

i like sentinel. i enjoy sentinel immensely, actually. he is the funniest character on the show. i am not sorry. also i like blackarachnia but she's only hated because she's a girl that's also ostensibly getting in the way of m//egop so i dont think she counts

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason):

using blurr cube in a pinball machine to make him become blurr sphere

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell):

blitzwing your fans are fucked in the head i'm sorry but i dont want to deal with that anymore it's been far too long!

Requests are open? Would it be possible to request Kup falling for a super sweet, kind, bubbly, and child like adult human? (Bonus request: you have a good day)

Thanks to you guys, that second request is absolutely being fulfilled. Now, let's get you some Kup action!

Kup was an old fool. Way too old for a lot of things. Not for the important stuff like combat or story telling, but for the stuff that was pretty unimportant. Like...love. He shouldn’t be in love, especially at his age, but he was. It wasn’t even with a fem or a mech in his ranks. It was a human. An adorable little human, in fact. They had just come over one day to interview the bots (per mayor’s requests), and given how smitten the bots were with her, she tended to come by a lot more. And Kup immediately assumed protection over her. She was so childish, he worried for her. So naïve, so kind, so...sweet. It didn’t take long for Kup to fall for her.

“Just say you worked hard on it. They’ll love it, watch.”

But he couldn’t. He wasn’t worried about making a fool of himself, he had done that to himself plenty of times. He was worried he’d weigh the little cutie down. Tons of mechs liked ‘em, from bots like Mirage, Hot Rod, and rumor had it even Optimus thought they were cute. Why would they wanna be with an old fool like him? He made his way down a hallway, and there they were, talking and chatting up a few of the younger mechs. He was about to just leave and trash his gift, when he heard his name being called.

“Kup! Hey! there you are! Excuse me fellas.”

He watched as they ran past the crowd of mechs, right towards him. The mechs chuckled and gave Kup a thumbs up in support as they walked away, leaving them alone. They lifted their arms up, and he took the hint, lifting them up and putting them on his shoulder.

“Hey kid. How you doin’? Those mechs givin’ you any troubles?”

“Oh nothing I can’t handle. Why, you worried the big ol’ softies are gonna cuddle me to death?”

“Hey, don’t underestimate some of these youngins. They dunno how to leave someone like you alone.”

They put their hands on their hips, chests puffed as if they were offended.

“What’s that supposed to mean, someone like me?”

“Cute. Er, I mean, cute like small and frail, you know?”

“Hey! I’m a tough guy! I can handle anything! Watch!”

They threw some awful punches in the air, as if they were in some fight, before they lost their balance and fell right into Kup’s hands. He chuckled, trying not to feel so gushy over such a cute little human.

“So scary, I’m shakin in my bolts. Think you can stop bein’ a killer for a second so I can tell you somethin’?”

“Sure!”

They grinned. He finally sat down someplace outside, putting them down and onto his lap. They were away from everyone else, away from any distraction.

“I uh. Made ya somethin’“

Kup reached into his subspace, and put their gift in their hands. It was a flower crown. They looked it over, before clapping wildly.

“It’s so pretty! Did you make this?”

“I did, yeah. You showed us how to do it and I uh...decided to try it again.”

“You hated trying to make it. And you did it just for me? aw, you old sap!”

They chuckled, putting it on their head. Kup looked at them, full of fondness. He might as well do it now if he was gonna do it, gifts make it a little less painful.

“I...made it because It was somethin’ you liked. Because...you’re someone I like.”

They looked up at him, confused, before it seemed to click.

“Kup. You...have a crush on me?”

“Yeah. I shouldn’t. You’re a human, I’m a machine, you’re bubbly, I’m grumpy, I’m old as dirt and you’re a damn sprout. I shouldn’t like ya. But I needed to get it off my chest, or stuff would just be weird between us, you-”

He was cut off as he found them snuggling against him.

“You dummy. I like you too. A LOT. And I...kinda would wanna be with you. For a long time. On one condition. I want more of these crowns. Lots more!”

He stared at them for a second, before chuckling, and leaning down to kiss their little head.

“I’ll give ya as many crowns as I am old, hun.”

“...That’s a LOT of trees.”

“Don’t push it, kid. 

Not that he minded. He was too happy to really be upset.

Armada Review episode 5-8

I am putting the read more so that you do not have to read all of this if you do not want to. This is a review for episodes 5-8  season 1 and again, a reminder, these are my thoughts, if you don’t agree with what I have to say that fine but please respect my thought and opinions on what I think about the serious.

So to start this up let go in order

Episode 5 Soldier: 

So with Soldier, this episode focused a lot on Red Alert, Hotshot, Optimus, and their relationship. We learn about Red being a chef science engineer which brought up a question, does that really make Red a medic? I mean, sure they are robots so you could say that that would make him a medic, but in other transformers, they call them medics, so a question I like to ask you all and see if you guy can answer this question, is Red Alert a medic or is he just a mech who had to learn both engineer and medical seen there no one on their team right now really a medic. 

Anyway, we notice right away Hotshot and Red not getting a lot and having some problem working together, we see Red as being tight follow the book like Magnus and we see Hotshot being this go luckily relaxed kid like Rodimus.

We also learn about how close Red and Prime's relationship is when they talk about fighting side by side in the war which I thought was a very amazing touch to the episode and that Red is really a good person who can kick ass, and do good. Then you have the Decepticons who are just treating Starscream like trash, teasing him about not having a min con and going as far as not wanting to listen to him which I thought was brought back wonderful in the episode Jungle which we will talk about in a bit but for now, we just see Megatron as normal treating Starscream badly and not even telling the other to listen to him, which in turn make Starscream want to prove himself to Megatron and which unfortunately cause him to fail in the end when he gets beat by Red and is not able to get the min con. We also get some foreshadowing of a clue of what the next min con will be but I won't talk about that till I get to the last episode but had to say that it was an interesting idea and is pretty cool.

Overall this episode was alright, the animation again, was a little bit over the place but I say it not a skip episode because you do learn a thing about the Autobots and learn a thing about the Depictions. 

Episode 6 Jungle:

*sigh* Well, everyone let buckle up for safety because we about to get into an environmental episode and I like to talk about this before I talk more about this episode. I hate environmental episodes only because it always feels repetitive and it always makes me think of the Nostalgia critic reviews where the tv or movie is so bad because of the environmental episode and that they really don’t care about the message but have to but it just because they have too.  

So with that out of the way, was it that bad? 

I mean, it not good, but there is some part I feel made it not as awful. So the plot of this episode is they have to find a min con in the forest and the kids point out that they have to be careful in the forest and to not hurt the living things that are there, and it made me think for a moment wow, do you think the Autobot or any of this bots care about the forest as they destroyed there whole home because of a war, I don’t think they give two shit but as I watch the episode, I notice something about Optimus...he does care, he even said: “This planet looks peaceful from a glance but it has some serious problems.” I might be going deep on this, might but hear me out on what I think he meant by thought words. 

I think at that moment he was thinking about Cybertron. For a glance a long time ago, you would have said the same thing, but after the war, and how much fighting they still are doing, it looks awful and sad. The fighting is causing a lot of problems and hurting others, it hurting living being, hell the min con had to leave because they were being used as weapons just like you could say about the forest being chop down for things that might be good at first but will harm everything later on if we not careful. 

So yeah, the Deception, of course, they are cutting down the tress to get to the min con and of course we get to the part I want to talk about, Starscream being treat like trash and not being taken seriously. We get a glimpse of this in the episode when there doing a simulation and Starscream is trying to tell the other what they need to do, asking them to let him do something, to have them trust him but they don’t listen which cause him to lose the simulation and be scolded by Megatron!! 

Which then again, makes Starscream, even more, determined to get a min con to prove why he is the second in command and should be listening too and it somewhat looks like Starscream looking for power but really in this episode he in the right to do that. Why because he has been treated awful, no one listens to him, Megatron has undermined him so many times that when he does and this is a spoiler. When he does get his min con Swindle which I think is a great name because Starscream names him that because he Swindles Megatron out of min con he could have used and Starscream get a really powerful one that works with him and listen to everything he asks it to do, and once he does the team start to listen to him and follow his orders. He so happy and start to get respect out of fear, which is sad because he shouldn’t have to scare them into listening to him but because Megatron would not make them listen to him and he saw Megatron get respect out of fear he thinks this is the only way to get everyone to respect him and which is why I also think he says he might be even more powerful than Megatron. Which make Megatron even angrier and maybe even get him to be more paranoid.

So yeah, this episode was awful with its speech about saving the environment, and yeah it can be a bit corny with them fighting in a forest hunting for the min con, and fighting Megatron the big old deer of the forest. (Had to put that joke in sorry.) But overall it was an okay episode and it wasn’t that bad...now for the next one well.

Episode 8 Carnival

I’m sorry, watch this episode twice, twice to find the meaning of this episode, to give it a reason why you should watch this episode and I just can’t. 

Again this is my own opinion, but this episode was not that good. It not awful, but it not good. Like, I love finding out Hotshot loves to watch old western, I thought that was cool, I even thought it was cool and spoiler, about him using the canon at the Carnival as his new guy that he shot with know and play western with. That cute! I love him being smug with the bullies. But this episode was bad! 

The humans were dumb as bricks when they min con and Hotshot show up to the Carnival, because yeah, for a while it made seen when they sneaked out the min con to the Carnival to have some fun rather than having to stay in the base cleaning up with Alexia. Yeah, it was kinda silly how the human thought they were something that came from the sciences department and that there was clueless. But when Billy and Fred when after the min con to take them because they knew they were not science department gimmicks to help them get more funding or something like that, had them “malfunctioning” around them Carnival which scared a lot of people to run away and to have Hotshot trying to get them to leave Jolt alone, Jolt flying them, them dropping off onto a ballon and having Hotshot later save them while flying around, you can not tell me the military was not call out for that little stunt or that the people that live in this town are that dumb! 

Like yeah, they are panting them that way so they can get away with things sure. But maybe it just because I was spoiled by Transformers Prime seriously but looking back on that it scary and the worst part, they don’t get yelled at by Optimus but at Alexia, Optimus should have been yelling at Hotshot and the boys! Telling them that was dumb! 

So is this episode have anything worth it? Well, it shows the difference between how the Autobot work as a team to fix up the base vs the Deception who are just fighting during the whole time there fix the base, put Demoloisher down for being clumsy, which he is but he only fell down because he didn’t want to step on a min con, which I did check in the animation and thought that was interesting, he cares not letting the min con get hurt and I don’t care what anyone says, I think that kinda sweet but sad as he scolds and tases about him falling down, we later in the last episode will talk more about Demolisher and I thought it was cool about the foreshadowing spoiler about the Star Saber sword min con that going to come into play later down the next few episodes. 

Overall this episode was bad but if you want to see it for thought reason I won’t blame you but I will not also blame you if you skip it.  

Finally, the last episode I watch for this review is episode 8 Palace.

This episode was beautiful!!!

Like I could go on and on about the animation, it was the best one so far and I think that was because they focused a lot on the robots. The music was amazing too like it made me feel like a little kid again while watching it.

So, the story was also interesting about how min con was thought of as a gift or some type of spiritual being that was probably thought of as a god or something like that, and this episode my sibling Jamie who was watching this, geek out about her Anthropologie stuff, and before you ask no they are not an Anthropology that study Egypt, in fact, they are a Mayan Cultural Anthropologies but they did remember something from there class and nerd out with me. Anyway, we just love the way they did the building, we love the fight scenes. 

Demolisher was somewhat cool in this episode too, all he wanted to do was get the min con for his own and he really tired his best, I even felt bad for him having to give it back to Megatron, I also felt like it was not fear but then again, Megatron is scared of being out powered by anyone and even thought he could challenge Starscream or order him to give it to him, it would look bad and would look like he taking his word away (even thought I’m sure he wouldn’t care about that he know for breaking it) but still maybe he was afraid of Starscream betraying him or thought maybe Demolisher couldn’t handle such a thing, or that he might both might betray Megatron whatever the case might be.

 I felt sorry for Demolisher and sorry for when he spoke up agents him, that it piss of Megatron enough to want to punish him which Starscream laugh and it supose to be a funny scene but it really scary because when you think about it Starscream not laugh because it funny but because he scared.

 When people are scared they sometime laugh because Starscream know how bad a beating Megatron can give when he don’t get what he wants and I just thought that was also very interesting. 

I might later down the road when we get to more episodes might do a break down some of the transformers and what I thought about them throw this serious and point out the thing that I think is very interesting to me and might even say something I think are canon for them. But anyway. I think this was my favorite animated so far and I say give it a watch if not for the story then for the beautiful animation!

Next Monday I’ll be reviewing 9-13 (Yes five this time because we're getting close to the end of season one!) Thank you all for reading my review on this serious I hope you all like this and have a good night.

Not transformers related but for this Valentines day I wanted to introduce you guys to my first child. This is Roxy, a six week old mini australian shepherd, my cousins bred their mini aussie and I absolutely fell in love with this little girl, she’s the runt of the litter much like our boxer pitbull mix. Roxy is my first dog as in first for me to get with my own money, $600 well spent if you ask me better than spending $3,000 on a cavalier like I originally planned. I can finally call myself an official dog mom I am so happy and exhausted from the lack of sleep but it’s all worth it and because I’m a huge transformers fan I had to get her this little bee plushy because it made me think of Bumblebee. Also: I was close to naming her Elita after Elita one (and i think Elita is a cute name or Jazz) but Roxy is a name i’ve wanted to give to a dog since I was a kid but my dad would always name the dog it was always “I name the dog or we don’t keep it” but my dog my money I name it so get over it. In all honesty if I ever get a male dog I will probably name him Pax after Optimus Prime and Pax is a cute name. Ok this is the end of all this I talk way too much.

Here (Evac x Reader)

Summary: |REQUEST| You’ve been working at NEST in hopes to meet aliens and maybe befriend them! Your attempts though are dashed until one blue Autobot shows up at the base one day. Warnings: N/A Word Count: 1455

Tags: @ the one anon who sent me the request! 

One afternoon though, a new Autobot had rolled into the base with Optimus and Ironhide, having taken on the shape of a blue Nissan GTR. He was someone who had apparently been on Earth for quite a while now compared to Optimus and you immediately were curious. Perhaps this new Autobot could be your friend. You were determined to at least have one Autobot be your friend, everything else be damned. 

When the blue Autobot got out of their altmode, they stood about the same height as Bumblebee. Alright. Good start. At least they weren’t 32 feet tall like Optimus. 

“Autobots,” Optimus said, the Autobot’s attention turning towards him as he introduced the new recruit. “This is Evac. He is here to help us protect the remaining Allspark shard.”

“It’s good to be around comrades again, Optimus,” Evac said. You approached Evac meekly, gripping your clipboard as nervousness wracked your body. You had to be used to this by now, it was standard procedure after all. All NEST scientists had to essentially do a checkup on all Autobots, especially new ones before they were sent out on missions. It was a deal that the NEST operatives and Optimus had allowed, as long as no experimentation was being done on them. After all, they were intelligent beings. Giant ones with intellectual prowess higher than any human.

“H-Hello!“ you called out to Evac. 

“Ah, (y/n),“ Optimus said, noticing your small form. “I believe you’re the one conducting the check up on our friend?“

“Yes,“ you replied, “Evac, if you could follow me, to the decontamination chamber…” You then turned around and started leading him to the decontamination chamber, something Ratchet had created for Cybertronians, using the knowledge he had from previous years before Cybertron had fallen. 

“Is this standard procedure?” Evac asked, being careful not to kick anyone as he followed you. 

“Yup, don’t worry, we’re just making sure everything is healthy, after we’re done on our part, we’ll send you to Ratchet,” you replied. When Evac entered the decontamination chamber, you pressed a button that cleaned him of whatever needed to be cleaned and he got out of the chamber feeling refreshed, you then pointed him to a lowered berth essentially and he laid down on it as you climbed onto it and walked around him, using various tools to see how his health was. During the entire time, you struck up a friendly conversation with him, asking him every question that came into your mind, knowing that you wouldn’t have any other chance of becoming friends with this new person. “Ah- sorry,” you then said, cutting yourself off. 

“Hm?” Evac hummed. 

“I just realised I’m asking too many questions, sorry,” you said shuffling a little bit in embarrassment. He gives a light laugh and a pink tint rises to your cheeks. 

“No, it’s fine! Honestly, I’m enjoying the conversation, nice to get to know the people on this planet,“ Evac smiled. You paused for a moment, looking at his expression to see if he was being genuine and you cleared your throat as you set aside the last tool. 

“Well, I’m done with everything for you,” you huffed. “Now you gotta deal with Ratchet, you seem fine in everything so I don’t think he’ll give you too much trouble,” you smiled. He got up from the berth and gave you a smile before approaching Ratchet for the rest of his check up. You stood there for a moment before one thought ran through your mind. Oh, he’s kinda cute. 

A few months passed since you first met Evac, often glancing at him every now and then to see what he was up to. Little did you know that whenever Evac was back at base from missions, his optics would be searching for you every now and then. Ever since he met you, he found you pretty endearing. The conversations you had through those months were short, usually cut off with you having to work and Evac being gone during missions. 

It was rare that he had time off, but when he did he’d find ways to seek you out and spend as much time as possible with you. After all, he enjoyed your presence and your friendliness towards him was a breath of fresh air. And you enjoyed being around him, learning more about his world, him as an individual. So the day when you realised you fell in love with him hit you like a bus. Maybe you were just looking at him for too long or just acting on something else. But his laugh! His smile! It made your heart race whenever he gave you that smile, something that he seemed to only give to you when you passed by on your way to do a task that had been assigned to you. So when Evac finally had enough time to himself to go out for a drive he immediately approached you after you had finished with your work for today. 

“Hey!” Evac greeted. “So um,” he rubbed his servos on the back of his neck, suddenly growing nervous. “I was wondering if you wanted to go out for a ride. Together. Just the two of us.” A smile immediately grew on your face and you accepted the offer. Evac wasn’t expecting you to say yes so quickly and stood there with his dermas slightly open for a moment, processing before giving a light chuckle and changing into his altmode. He opened the driver’s door for you and you got in, Evac leaving the hangar a little bit faster than he should have, mainly because he couldn’t contain his excitement. The Autobots watched as he sped off and Ratchet muttered to himself as he went back to his work. 

“Young Cybertronians, always unable to control their sparks,” Ratchet grumbled. 

“So, where to?” you asked Evac as he drove off the base. 

“I dunno, any ideas on where you wanna go?“ Evac replied through the stereo. You thought about it for a moment before a location came to mind. 

“There’s a mountain pass nearby that overlooks the ocean,” you said. “We can park at a spot up there and just watch the sunset.”

“Watching the sunset? Sounds romantic to me,” Evac teased. You gave an awkward yeah and cleared your throat, trying to will away the blush that was growing on your face.

“Yeah, so?” you said defensively. Evac’s fans started going full blast for a moment before calming down and you quirked a brow. 

“I, just uh,” Evac tried to find the words but couldn’t, so instead he just kept driving, leaving you both flustered. You gave him directions as he went, your voice cautious and gentle, beginning to feel more and more nervous as you drew near the spot. When you arrived, you got out of Evac and placed your hand on his hood as a sign of affection before looking towards the sun, which had begun to set. 

“Nobody’s here-” you were cut off as soon as you spoke by the sound of Evac shifting out of his altmode, your hand now in his servos as he sat down on the edge. You kept your hand in his servos for a moment before your face flushed red and you withdrew it, muttering a sorry. Evac only gives a light laugh, motioning you closer. You think about it for a moment before drawing closer to him, sitting on the ground and leaning against his large frame. He wraps his arm around you and the two of you watch the sun set, saying nothing the entire time, simply taking in his body heat as the air began to cool as it settled into night. It was nice. Just the two of you sitting here all alone, with no responsibilities to worry about. You kinda wished it’d last forever. Just being here. With him.

Ready or not, here it comes

So! A TFP and MTMTE crossover. Again, as you you know, I love the shit outta this idea. I have a million ideas and you are totally welcome to expand ( or contradict ) them if you like.

So here’s how this shit went down:

Normal day at Outpost Omega One, but when Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Arcee go through the ground-bridge sent for them, they don’t make it back to base?!?!?! They had the kids with them and oh, shit everyone is panicking, help. Eventually, after everyone has calmed down, Optimums decides he and Ratchet will do through the ground-bridge, leaving Wheeljack, Smokescreen  and Magnus to run interference for the Cons.  an’t afford to leave earth undefended after all, no matter how much he wants to raise hell to get to his family fellow Autobots.

Meanwhile, on the MTMTE side of things it’s….not going well. They appeared right in the middle of an incident with Overlord (not the incident mid you, Rewind is safe and hidden in Chromedomes habsuite, while Skids guards the thing like a German Shepard. Like hell that shit’s happening again.) When they appear, Tailgate is being held up by Overlord as he slowly begins squeezing him to laughing. The Lost Lights dealing with some pirates and no one can get to them in time to save Tailgate. Cyclonus can’t walk but more importantly, he’s about to see his spark get viciously murdered.

Or so they thought. When the TFP bots appear, Arcee sees Tailgate and just…snaps. (pretend tfp looks like mtmte tailgate, even though they have different personalities)   All tfp bots know her partners are a trigger point so yeaaahhh…he’s dead. Arcee starts whaling on Overlord, enraged beyond belief. As much as they want to help Cee, they’re kinda busy defending themselves and the kids from attack. Miko ends up stabbing a nasty bounty hunter that’s roughly human sized with a shard of glass, and shoots him in the hand. Oops?

The battles not going well and cue Ratchet and Optimus coming through and fuck, are they pissed. They barrel through enemies and more lost lighters arrive, giving them the edge they need to win. Arcee killed Overlord with Cyclonus and Whirl’s help, who get over there just in time to save her angry ass and kill the fucker. They’re all making sure he’s alright and there’s a touching moment  when Arcee hugging Tailgate, tears in her eyes. Then comes the interrogation

Optimus is explaining to Roddy what happened, who keeps interrupting to ask a question or add a comment. The Lost Lighters have a surprisingly mellow reaction, and Milo comments that hey, they’ve dealt with dimensional bullshit too. Just as everything is settled and they’re about to leave, the ground bridge loses power. Cue everyone losing their shit and Rung making a very distressed “oh dear” next to Bee, who’s holding Raf and warbling in agreement.

Roddy welcomes them on board and guess who’s there. IDW Optimus, who Prime Optimus very much dislikes. (imma abriavate to PO and IDWO to make life a little easier) PO can’t help but feel he’s abusing his power, which IDWO doesn’t like. When PO learns about the situation with IDW Megs - who he personally likes and gives him hope for his megs- boy, is he pissed. He’d already practically adopted three human children and two younglings, Roddy’s a walk in the frickin park. He confronts IDWO, stating it was not in his authority to decide those sort of things, that Roddy deserved to be treated with respect. Rodimus talks to him later, thanks him and gives him a Rodimus star. PO can’t help but love it and shows it off to Ratchet. 

the humans are celebrities an lapping up the attention. mostly miko, when jack or raf fell stressed about it, they escape to rungs office. rewind wants interviews, and they spend ninety percent of the time in swerves bar. jack is super uncomfortable near cyclonus, but when tailgate asks to touch his hair since it looks so soft, he lets him and eventually falls asleep in his lap, upping the human cuteness from 200 to 250. -raf beat that by upping it to a solid 500 when he snuggled into bees neckcables-. now mechs keep touching him and cyclonus is probably one if the few that don’t so go cyclonus!

my fingers hurt from typing, i just finished an essay now did this. what did you think?

——————————

Love it! Great idea! Great AU! Would love to read a full length fic of this!

IT’S SO CUTE HEARING MEGATRON LAUGH NON-MALICIOUSLY TOO, THANK YOU CYBERVERSE

SWEET GENTLE-LOOKING BOY......

I love how when I first saw an image of Jetfire I was like “SWEET BOY??? SWEET BOY??? NICE KIND BOY???” but the second he opened his mouth I was like “NO”

Not that I’m saying I don’t like Jetfire, it’s just that I got frickin whiplash from the expectation vs. reality thing, lmao. He’s still a dork, just not the kind of dork I was expecting. Not really my thing, but I’m interested in seeing how they take his character regardless. Who knows! I’ll keep an open mind, even if this character trope isn’t one I’m typically interested in.

OH SHOOT HE JUST BIT JETFIRE’S WING, BRO U GOOD?????

THUNDERCRACKER!!!

Megatron goes from surprised to concerned in .2 seconds and BOY DOES THAT SURE KILL ME

AND THE WAY HE SAYS “OPTIMUS”, WAILS!!!!!!

Also I can’t believe they can casually call each other up like this, like it’s no big deal. Idiot ex boyfriends who never got around to deleting each other’s numbers, smh

OH MY GOSH IS THAT THE ARENA!!!!!!!!!!!! OK I KNOW THAT’S NOT KAON’S ARENA BUT AHHHHHH

Man the Allspark upgrade is a great narrative way for Cyberverse to get around Hasbro’s “Hey we need a new dorky armor design for this character so we can make new toys of them” requests

OH NO MEGATRON AND OPTIMUS

oh pfft they’re fine, it’s Jetfire and Skybite who fell

OH NO JETFIRE

JETFIRE GO HELP OPTIMUS YOU BIG LOSER

OK THANK GOODNESS JEEZ, IT’S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE HELPS THIS OLD MAN UP

OH SHOOT EPISODE 12 IS UP TOO??? ALRIGHT HERE WE GO: EPISODE 12

Starscream’s up to no good, as usual

Starscream: *obviously doing something shady, up to no good, grinning that grin of his* Me, fondly: That’s my boy

I love that Acid Storm is the tech person of the group, that’s so fun

also this episode title ‘’I Am The Allspark’’ has me so worried

OHHHH STARSCREAM BUDDY THAT DOESN’T SEEM SMART but dang if that doesn’t look cool

Starscream: Now I have the power to return everyone to the Allspark! Beginning with YOU! Seekers: *act genuinely surprised as though Starscream hasn’t been talking about killing everyone since day one* LIKE, DO YOU GUYS ACTUALLY ONLY SHARE ONE BRAINCELL, HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY BE A SURPRISE TO YOU

I’m still betting on Slipstream popping up and screwing up his plan since she’s part of the Allspark now too

Aw Jetfire’s part of the team now

BUT WHERE IS ARCEE

MEGATRON!!!!!!!!

“Optimus Prime...always one step ahead. Makes it easier to shoot you in the back!” Gosh I love Megatron, what a dork

YEAH GUYS YOU SERIOUSLY HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS, PLEASE FOCUS

THAT’S SUCH A GOOD LOOK!!!!!

*goes absolutely nuts every time Megatron and Optimus work together / do anything in synch*

KICK HIS BUTT WINDBLADE oh shoot JETFIRE WENT UP THERE TOO LMAO

I’d love to see Jetfire and Windblade become friends just so they can complain about Starscream together

Case in point

Oh shoot this ain’t looking good gang

 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS THE MEGATRON AND STARSCREAM INTERACTION I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL SEADSON

That legitimately scared me for half a second HE ZOOMED UP IN HIS FACE SO FAST, I LOVE IT

GOSH I love the expressions in Cyberverse, Starscream went from “blind fury” to “oh you poor pathetic mortal” in 2 seconds and it’s delicious.

“You’re welcome” OH SNAP

I LEGITIMATELY KEEP HAVING TO PAUSE AND REMIND MYSELF TO BREATHE, AHHHHHHHHHHHH THEY’RE BOTH SO AWFUL, THIS IS SUCH GREAT DIALOGUE

“Why should I? You’re Starscream. You always have failed, and you always will” HOLY HECK THAT’S BELOW THE BELT MEGATRON!!!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile Shadow Striker’s in the background like “BRO STFU, YOU’RE DUMB MOUTH IS GOING TO GET US ALL KILLED”

COME ON CHEETOR, KEEP IT TOGETHER

Man Starscream’s got such a massive inferiority complex (courtesy of Megatron, among other things) that he had to literally merge with the Allspark to try and feel like he was worth something, o o f....

Bruh we really need Rung in this series, this boy needs therapy

COME ON OPTIMUS DO SOMETHING

NOICE

WAY TO CUT IT CLOSE OPTIMUS

OH NO IS HE OK

CYBERVERSE PLEASE DON’T KILL OPTIMUS AGAIN

Megatron: Who could ask for anything more? Except for your spark Optimus, weakly: Are you proposing?  Bumblebee: THIS REALLY ISN’T THE TIME TO BE FLIRTING

This is such a good screencap but IM HURTIN SO BAD

LMAO THE SCRAPLETS ARE GOING WILD

Bumblebee x reader x Swindle

Author note: Reader is gender neutral (which is getting easier the more I do...yay) so come one come all.

There are two endings, depending on who you choose.

Third Person:

(Y/n) (l/n) was a perfectly average, normal person. At only (y/a) years old they liked enjoying the simpler things in life; hot cocoa and a blanket on a chilly winter afternoon, a towel and time at the beach on a scorching summers day or sitting on a window seat reading a book as the rain falls outside.

However, now was not one of those nice moments.

 Your pov:

For one it was pouring with rain, ‘my new jacket’s getting soaked…not only that but a murderous robot is chasing me’.

I run as fast as I can, pumping my arms just how I’ve seen the Olympians do. This really is my big debut. I grabbed a lamp-post as I ran past to swing quickly round the street corner down a narrow slipway. I kept going even as the sound of the jet roared past the opening of the too narrow slipway. Good thing I kept running for I soon heard the sound of giant footsteps as the being struggled to push its way after me.

I shot out the other end of the slipway and sprinted for the looming towers of junk before me. I rounded a couple of corners in the junkyard and practically dove under the rusted corpse of a car. ‘Well, at least I’m out of the rain’.

The floor shook with the vibrations caused by that thing as it called out in a mocking voice.

“Come out, Come out little organic. Come bow before the soon-to-be ruler of this world.”

I gasped as the car was lifted off me and thrown back. The jet-robot standing above me. My eyes widened as I saw the bottom of its foot descend towards me. I was so scared, I couldn’t even close my eyes as my death became a suddenly not-so-distant reality.

“SCHZRK”

The sound of ‘is that laser fire’ came from above me and the foot rapidly left my vision as the robot was blasted bag by a zigzagging stream of light.

“Get away from the girl Starscream!” a voice yelled just as giant feet passed over you once more. A red and blue robot holding an axe attacked the jet robot along with a green bulky robot, a gold and black robot and a yellow robot.  

The yellow robot called out taunts as he shot the streams of light at the robot again. “Yeah Screamer, back off!”

The jet, ‘or Starscream as he seems to be called’, fell back over the upturned car he had thrown off me.

“Curse you Autobots!”

With wide eyes I watched as Starscream scrambled to his feet and with a backflip, transformed into a jet and took off; leaving all the other robots to turn to look at me.

“Hehe…uh thank you for saving me but I’ll be going now.”

Spinning on my heel, I take off running. No destination in mind, just anywhere but here. A giant, yellow hand grabs me, lifting me into the air.

“Waaahhhh!” I struggle to get out of the robots grip. I’m turned to face the red and blue robot.

“Please remain calm, we wish you no harm.” The green one cut in, “in fact we just saved your life”.

I stopped struggling but my heart and mind were racing. I wracked my brains, trying to think of a way out this mess. I started seeing dark spots, I started holding my breath I was that scared. I took a deep breath to try and calm down, not noticing the Autobot’s worried looks as the sudden influx of oxygen causes me to pass out.

 ---------------------------Timeskip to the autobot base---------------------------

 I awoke to large chocolate brown eyes looking into my own (e/c) ones. I screamed, waving my arms I pushed the figure away and fell off of a sofa onto a hard, concrete floor.  I sat up, rubbing my side as I cautiously looked around. My eyes falling on a young girl, looking quite startled at my outburst.

“Uh…sorry for screaming in your face.” I apologised thoroughly embarrassed with my actions. She just stares at me before breaking into a broad smile.

“That’s ok…nice to meet you…I’m Sari.” She holds out her hand and I give it a little shake.

I stand up and brush myself off. Just as I was about to ask where I was this little girl launches into a full-blown speech about how I was rescued by the Autobots and the Decepticons and how I should be so grateful that they had been there to save me from Starscream. I mostly shut down but some things got through.

‘Ratchet? Optimus? Weird names…and who calls their kid Bulkhead? Even better…who calls their kid Bumblebee?’

The floor shifted below me; vibrations, in the pattern of footsteps, jolting me out of my reverie. ‘OH NO! NOT MORE ROBOTS!’

I looked around frantically for a place to hide. There was a TV with some cabinets just beyond the sofa…and some lockers against the wall. I had to protect us both…hiding seemed like the best option.

I picked up the girl, abruptly cutting off her speech and leapt the sofa. Adjusting her in my arms, I ignored her protests and sprinted for the wall. I opened the locker dove inside and shut us both in.

“Sari?” A really nice voice with a definitely robotic timbre sounded in the room. The girl in my arms squirmed and was about to yell out when I clapped my hand over her mouth; making shooshing motions frantically.

“Sari you there? Wait the other girl’s gone too. Sari come out! No hiding! Sari!” The voice showed panic. The girl in my arms squirmed even more fiercely, kicking the locker door, her pigtails getting in my mouth.  

My heart leapt into my mouth as the door to the locker was wrenched right of its hinges.

Bright blue ‘eyes?…uh optics?’ stared in. They looked into my eyes and although I was petrified, I also felt this calm; the childish light within these blue orbs piercing my very soul.

The girl wiggled out of my loosening arms and bolted from the locker.

“Are you crazy lady!...you almost squished me” She yelled. I snapped out of my trance and looked between her and the robot.

I slowly stepped out of the locker as the robot backed up and stood, grinning broadly.

“I’m sorry…uh Sari was it? Who’s your friend?”

The girl perked up all, all grudges lost; and began excitedly introducing me to her friend Bumblebee.

 ------------------------Timeskip for excitable Sari-------------------

 So I’ve met the Autobots…they’re not going to kill me so I feel slightly safer. Sari was a nice kid, ‘If she can survive being with these Autobots, then so can I.’ Being here every day for the past 3 weeks has helped as well. (It’s the summer holiday so if you’re a student…I got you covered).

The only one I would really watch out for is Ratchet, ‘a.k.a grumpy bot’, and Prowl, ‘since I never know what he’s thinking’.

Optimus was overbearingly good, Bulkhead was kind and Bumblebee was just overall cute. ‘Wait did I say cute…I meant hyperactive and loud and playful and adorable and…losing my train of thought again’.

Right now, I was sitting on the couch in the Autobot’s, base of sorts. Sari on my left and Bumblebee on my right. The two were playing a videogame and I was cheering them on.

“Player 1 wins!”

“Ahh Bee no fair” Sari groans, while I grin and pick up the controller.

“I play winner!” I call.

Sari sits up her failure forgotten…“kick his can (y/n).”

I turn towards the screen, annoyed as I see Bee’s character is already winning. I mash buttons in a bid to regain the ground I’ve lost.

‘The only way I could win now is if Bee got distracted…’ an evil thought creeps into my mind.

“Cute aft Bee,” I say catching the young bot off-guard, he splutters and looks at me wide-eyed; completely forgetting the game…which I win.

“Player 2 wins!”

I look at Bumblebee triumphantly, “Looks like I win then.”

He frowns, faceplate scrunched up in annoyance, “No fair (y/n) you distracted me.”

I just shrug, “ah, c’est la vie.”

“Who wants to go for a race?” Sari’s comment instantly perking up Bumblebee.

I had recently acquired an Urbana 500 (get the reference XD) in black with red accents, ‘I had considered getting yellow but I was sure bumblebee, and definitely Sari, would notice the coincidence.’

I bounced off the sofa and began running to a door. “The last one out’s a rotten egg!”

Just as I planned Bumblebee bounded over my head and through the door, ‘I wonder how long it’ll take him to figure out he’s gone the wrong way?’ I chuckled as I promptly turned a 180 and jogged for the real exit. Sari laughing herself as she jogged alongside me.

We jogged into the bright sunshine, I lifted a hand to shield my eyes as I leaned against the door of my car. Soon enough Bumblebee came sprinting out the opening, “Oh man does this make me the rotten egg…uh Sari, what’s a rotten egg?”

She just motioned him down and told him the answer.

“Eww, Sari…I don’t wanna be a rotten egg.” Was the disgusted reply.

“Calm down Bee, just race (y/n)…I’ll referee.” Was the nonchalant Sari’s reply.

I got in my car while Bee transformed.

The engine started with a purr and Bee gave a competitive rev.

Sari Scrabbled atop a nearby dumpster and stood on top of it. “Okay, first to get the junkyard and back wins!” she called.

I smirked competitively and glanced to my side to look at Bee, he was practically vibrating with excitement.

“Hey Bee, what do I get if I win?”

“I don’t know what do you want?” came his reply, “Better yet, if I win (y/n), you have to…go on a date with me!”

He called over his wish just as Sari yelled: “Go!” Bee roared forward, I stalled a second, shocked by his request; before shooting forward myself.

‘Sneaky bot just used my own trick on me; He can’t have been serious…could he?’

We raced around corners; soon were speeding down empty back roads and deserted streets, trying to one-up the other.

We turned a corner into the junkyard, there were two paths; Bee went right and I went left. I gunned the engine, zooming forward and round a corner at breakneck speed.

I could see where our two paths connected again and headed for the exit as one path. I pushed the accelerator all the way down, hoping to get in front of Bee.

“SUCCESS!”

I was now in front of Bumblebee, ‘That means I’m winning J…now to really annoy him.’  I slowly pressed the brake, if I slowed it would force Bee to slow as well, ‘And we all know Bee loves to go fast.’

But something was wrong, “MY BRAKE’S NOT WORKING…BUMBLEBEE HELP!!!”

I kept the car going straight but a bend was coming up, I turned the wheel but the car just began to spin. A wall of junk loomed over me. Only for the car to drastically slow; I looked out my window to see Bee holding on to my car, stopping it completely.

I opened the door and stumbled out, Bee looking at me worriedly; “Are you okay (y/n)?”

I nodded shakily, my brain trying to unscramble the fact that I almost died…again.

“Uhh…(y/n), you sure you okay? Let’s call off the race, we’ll have Ratchet check you back at base.”

I smiled faintly up at the bot, ‘But this behaviour is strange for Bee, he would never call off a race, and to want to bother Ratchet…for me? Could that earlier statement have been a real request and not a joke? What is up with him?’

While I unscrambled my thoughts and Bee worried none of us noticed a Decepticon come strolling along.

“Well well well, what have we got here…a little Autobot and”, the voice stalled for a second, “its pet.”

An unknown voice spoke from behind Bee, a purple and gold/brown (I’m not sure what his second colour is called, being slightly colour blind does not help…anyone know?) Decepticon strolled up. Before my mind caught up I just blurted out, “Who are you?”

He just smirked and proclaimed “Why Swindle’s the name, trading’s the game...would you like to peruse my wares or have you got something to sell?”

Bumblebee stepped in front of me protectively so I couldn’t see anything around his foot. “You’ll leave her alone Swindle!”

“I never turn down a potential customer, so what will it be Autobot?...I have a nice voxian ray shield, or, for a one time offer...one beating completely free of charge.”

“As if Con!”

Knowing what was coming I sprinted into my car for cover. I ducked down in the backseat and covered my ears, eyes closed, but that wasn’t enough to drown out the loud sounds of fighting outside.

When silence descended, I peaked my head up. Seeing the yellow of bumblebee’s foot just outside the door I open the car door and step out. “So Bee, you sent that Con packing then?” Hearing no reply I look up, my eyes widen to see an unconscious Bumblebee being held up by the Decepticon Swindle.

“Guess again (y/n)!”

‘How does he…?’

Smirking the Con threw him to the floor, the smallest grunt of pain escaping Bee. “Nice folks the Nebulans...they sell some nice weaponry too.”

I ran to Bee, all the while yelling at Swindle “You fragging pile of scrap, what did you do to Bee?”

The Con just smirked at me, “Oh he’s just in stasis and he’ll wake up in a couple of cycles with one pit-spawned processor ache…which reminds me.”

I was snatched up into purple servos and carried off.

“Hey put me down!”

No reply, but Swindle transformed around me, with a small cry off surprise I found myself in the driver’s seat of an armoured Humvee; held tight to the seat by my seatbelt. I raised a foot to kick the dash when a surge of electricity knocked me out cold.

 ----------------Timeskip in darkness----------------------------

 I woke up on a soft, comfy surface; I was also very warm. A rumbling sound could be heard and whatever I was on seemed to be vibrating. I opened my eyes to see I was still held captive within Swindle's vehicle mode. ‘My seatbelt’s gone.’ I stirred, reaching for the door handle. ‘Maybe he’s asleep.’

“Ah ah ah, no escaping for you.”

He transformed again, I was thrown about in the air to land on the Con’s outstretched palm. “Thought you might like to stay warm while you were in stasis…I’ve heard how fragile you organics are.”

I looked up in confusion, “I thought all you Cons didn’t care about humans.”

This made the bot pause a second, he soon recovered and countered with, “We don’t, I just need you in good condition for a sale I’m hoping to make. Plus I’m only a Decepticon second, I’m a business-bot first.” He was wearing a self-satisfied grin as he gave his answer.

I rolled my eyes, ‘now his behaviour makes sense.’

Swindle carried me over to a huge table, ‘obviously not made for humans’, and put me down on its pitted surface. He pressed a button on the underside of the table and what looked like a glass edge emerged from the sides, ‘they’re either a safety measure to stop me falling off the table or see-through prison bars.’

I glared at Swindle’s back evilly, then turned my attention to my prison; ‘I’ve got to find a way out of here.’

I looked around. The room was obviously part of some sort of cybertronian ship, everything was gigantic; to me at least. Three large doors led out; where to, is unknown. ‘Anywhere but here would be great.’ Mentally rolling my eyes I turned my attention to a way to the floor. ‘Baby steps (y/n), baby steps.’ The pitted surface of the table actually held more dips and holes then I had first registered. I casually strolled, ‘real not suspicious like’, over to one of the, to me, gaping, chasms in the table.

I looked down, the hole actually led down into a dark tunnel; with the amount of light I have, I can distinctly see it curving to the left. The walls of the tunnel, in turn, have many dips and curves so if this leads nowhere I could still climb out.

With a glance over my shoulder to make sure Swindle was occupied, I slid down into the tunnel.

I slid around the slight bend and straight down the gently sloping tunnel; just as it began to level out and I thought I was going to stop sliding, I was heading feet first down another tunnel that had opened up below me, going straight down. With a startled gasp I hurled down. I was so shocked I couldn’t even scream, my life flashed before my eyes. This tunnel then began to curve, my back making contact with the, now extraordinarily smooth, surface. It levelled off completely. An end to this mad ride could be seen ahead in the form of light. ‘An opening! What if it’s a sheer drop?’ My thoughts were less than pleasant as I rocketed into the light.

I was blinded and sliding along a flat surface at great speed. I forced my eyes open and almost screamed at the sight before me, I was on the floor, HEADING STRAIGHT FOR SWINDLE’S FOOT!

I pressed with my right foot and hand to try and turn myself. It worked…barely, I just missed Swindles pede and instead slid straight into the wall.

‘Oh for the love of…’ My side slammed into the wall, pain flared along my side. ‘Did I hear a crack? I’m not sure.’

“Are you o…!”, again Swindle caught himself, “Well now…that wasn’t very clever of you.”

Swindle’s voice sounding from above, his annoyed tone easily betraying his mood. He gave an irritated huff and bent down, picking me up off the floor. My tiny human form cradled in his servos, he walked out through a door into another room.

This looked to be some sort of medical bay, I recognised a few of the tools from Ratchet’s toolbox.

In a corner of the room, another table was situated with, what looked like, a cybertronian version of an open dollhouse.

I was placed down beside the house; cradling my arm. The whirs of Swindle transforming sounds behind me but I ignored him; instead opting to run inside the dollhouse to keep as far away from the con as I could.

The open half rooms had doors which led into another layer of rooms…‘ones the con can’t just reach into’.

The door closest to me was slightly ajar, I sped through it and shut it tight behind me. Plunged into a darkness I stood, tensely waiting for any sound from beyond the door. My breathing echoed in the quiet and I strived to hold my breath. I slowly inched along the wall to my left, hoping for another way out. My hand passed over a small square pad in the wall which glowed for a moment.

A click came from behind me and the room was flooded with light. A gasp leaving me as I shielded my eyes from the assault.

When my eyes had adjusted I turned to look at the room I was trapped in. I saw an odd arrangement of human furniture. A desk, a bed, a fridge and a chair. What caught my eye the most, was the small pinboard on the wall leaning against the wall on the desk…covered in pictures of me.

I walked over and studied them. I was just staring, really worriedly, at the photos of me out shopping, or at the park, or with Bumblebee…but bumblebee had been cut out of the photo. ‘Well…this explains how he knew my name.’

A couple of the photos had cybertronian writing on them. I couldn’t read it but something suspiciously like a heart was drawn on one of them.

“What are you doing!?” Swindle’s voice, though a lot less robotic, sounded behind me.

I spun around, eyes wide to see a human around my age, but in a purple suit with a gold/brown shirt with a black tie. He had black hair and shockingly bright, violet eyes. He looked at me with anger, ‘and fear?’, in his eyes.

“Let me ask you again. What…are…you…doing?”

I looked in shock at this human version of Swindle. “Wha…how…I’m…uh” I stuttered.

He stomped over, grabbed my arm and practically dragged me from the room. I stared at him as I was led from the room, my arm protesting as we moved. He was blushing heavily…and then it hit me.

I yanked my arm out of Swindle’s grip, although it really hurt, and confronted him. “There isn’t any deal is there.”

It was more of a statement than a question and he knew it.

He shuffled his feet, refusing to look me in the eyes, “No…there isn’t…not for you. I saw you with Bumblebee and I felt…”

I looked at him in shock. However, this soon morphed into anger.

I then proceeded to rant at the ashamed con, cutting him off. “So you kidnap me and hurt my friend all for some stupid crush!”

He forced himself to meet my eyes and yelled at me, this time cutting me off, “There’s no deal for you because you’re priceless! I would never sell you to the Decepticons. I admit that was what I first thought when I first saw you with that Autobot. But…you were laughing and beautiful and the sun just gleamed in your hair and I felt this feeling in my spark. I knew I had finally found someone I would never trade.”

My heart jumped at that but instead I scoffed; looking to the side I said, “The Autobots told me you’d sell your own mother for…” I stopped. When I looked back I saw bright tears gleaming in Swindles eyes. I only caught a glimpse of one rolling down his cheek before he promptly dissolved into pixels and vanished. I stared at the spot he had just been only to look to the edge of the table when I heard the familiar transforming sounds. Swindle stood looking down at me; he raised one servo and rested it on the table, his optics focused on spot just behind me, deep in thought. Eventually, his pain filled optics met my eyes and I tensely waited for his next move.

Swindle looked at me, exvented heavily and, honestly, I considered running when Swindle suddenly snatched me up in his servo. He swiftly walked out of the room and down a metal corridor. Silence descends as I’m carried to an unknown destination.

I open my mouth to ask where Swindle is taking me when….light blinds me. Swindle had opened a cybertronian size door that led outside. I rubbed my eyes; while they adjusted I was lowered to the floor. I landed on a soft cushion of crushed grass and looked up at Swindle; questions in my eyes.

The cybertronian purposely turned away from me and drew a communicator out of his hammerspace under his chest. He straightened his back and tapped on the symbol on its screen before a window popped up, showing an angry Bumblebee.

“What! Swindle…What have you done with (y/n)!” the irate Bee yelled down the link.

“Nothing you need to worry your head about Bumblebee…in fact they’re all yours. I’m sending you coordinates…meet me there if you want your pet back!” With a final self-assured smirk, the bot cut the link.

Once the screen went black, the bots entire demeanour changed again. He seemed to shrink, his servos clenched into fists and his optics were shinier than usual. Small half-hearted chuckles left his prone form and one servo then moved to rest over his chassis. Those were the only glimpses I saw before he promptly transformed into his alt-mode.

“Get in.”

I complied, not daring to disobey the now frankly unstable bot.

As I sat in the passenger seat, the seatbelt automatically tightening around me, I jerked as Swindle suddenly did a 180 and sped off. We zoomed around trees and through dense thickets; his alt-mode jerking and bouncing over roots, however his seatbelt kept me firmly in place, (almost protectively). Eventually, we emerged onto a road. Turning left we began a smoother ride towards wherever Swindle’s coordinates were.

Guilt racked my mind and I decided to at least try and soften the blow for the poor mech. “Swindle…” I trailed off, not really knowing what to say.

He stalled for a short moment then carried on as before.

“There’s nothing you could say (y/n)…I know you’re going to say I can’t buy love or force you to stay. It doesn’t matter now.”

I looked at my lap, hands folded; tense and overwhelmingly filled with self-loathing at the moment. But I looked up when I heard the sound of the dash opening in front of me.

A small black velvet box rested in the small compartment.

“If you care you’ll take it.”

 (Two endings here…skip down for Bumblebee’s)

 Swindle ending:

I stared at the box and went over what it could possibly be in my head. I snapped out of my reverie when a feeling of great sorrow, not mine, washed over me and I saw the compartment beginning to close. Without thinking my hand snatched out and grabbed the box; just in time, brushing the dash as it did so. Swindle almost imperceptibly shivered and I just held the box in my lap. I looked out the window to see us slowing and coming to a stop in…the junkyard. ‘How fitting.’

Bumblebee stood rigid in front of us and Swindle’s transformed. I fell into his servo and took a second to adjust.

The sound of Bee’s stingers powering up reached my ears. “Give (her/him) back Swindle!’

“Calm your gasket Autobot, here you go…they were useless to me anyway.”

Bumblebee looked shocked as Swindle calmly walked over and deposited me into his hurriedly transformed servo; however, Swindle’s callous words didn’t match his sorrowful tone and certainly didn’t hide the energon leaking from his optics. Without any further ado, Swindle transformed and sped off.

We both stared after the mech; Bee with shock and me with…something else.

While Bee was distracted I hurriedly stuffed the box in a pocket; the motion drawing Bumblebee’s attention.

“Are you alright (y/n)? Did he hurt you? Don’t worry I’ll get you to Ratchet!”

The worried bot transformed around me and took me back to the base.

 ------------------Timeskip------------------------

 Turns out I had fractured my arm and a rib; Ratchet had had Bumblebee take me to a human hospital to get patched up. After that, I had asked him to take me home, which he had reluctantly done. The concerned bot would only leave after I promised, four times, to call if I needed him. Though that didn’t stop him and Sari dropping round unannounced a few times.

It had been a few weeks now and I was sat on my bedroom’s window seat; cup of hot cocoa in hand, watching the rainfall.

Bumblebee had sent me many calls and requests to come to the base but I had always made some excuse. ‘Recovering or not wanting to be around giant robots when one had kidnapped me, being the main ones.’

I glanced at the box sat on my bed. With a sigh, I put down my drink and walked over to pick it up. I sat on my bed and debated with myself, once again, whether to open it or not. For the first time, curiosity won and I flicked the catch.

Lifting the lid I was confused to see a futuristic looking purple and gold/brown memory stick.

 -------------------Timeskip 2 days later-----------------

 I had held out 2 days before finally deciding to see what was on the memory stick. In the meantime I had been wearing it on a string around my neck, (I don’t know why…so don’t ask me why).

Sitting at my computer; I plugged it in and decided to view its contents.

A load of images and videos/recordings were on it; there were hours of footage. They were labelled so that each image was paired with a video or extract of sound.

I opened the first image; another of me. ‘Well that’s not creepy at all, is it’ I thought sarcastically. On the other hand, the footage proved to be quite different.  

The first paired piece was a voice recording, I pressed play;

“I saw that human today with the Autobot. I wonder how much Megatron will pay for an Autobot’s pet?” Swindle’s voice sounded from my computer.

‘If he wanted me to like him he’s going about it the wrong way.’

However, I decided to sit and watch everything; ‘only way to find out why he gave it to me after all.’

 ----------------------Timeskip--------------------

 I stayed up all night reviewing the contents on that memory stick. It had started out with Swindle acting like how you would expect Swindle to act. Deceitful, selfish, out to make a trade. However, the longer I had sat at that computer, the more flattering the pictures had gotten (less like photographing an item for ebay) and the less like a Decepticon Swindle had been acting. He started smiling more and talked less about deals and the profit he was going to make. By the end of it all, Swindle was practically making a video diary about how much he loves me.

In one of them, he spent an entire video discussing what sort of Valentine’s Day gift he would get me. In another, the pros and cons of asking me on a date in his

Holoform. One part stood out in particular, “I want to get to know them…what they like, dislike, whether they could ever…” Swindle trails of in the one video but I already knew he meant to say ‘love me back’.

The last video had even been a personal message to me; Swindle listed all his flaws and what he thought were his good points, then asked for my forgiveness and one chance.

It was both scary and…extraordinarily flattering.

But I had to admit, by the end of it all I had this warm, fuzzy feeling in my chest.

‘No I can’t…’

I closed down the folder and yanked the memory stick out. I looked at my clenched fist then stormed over to my window and yanked it open; prepared to fling the device out my open window. Only to freeze in shock at the sight of a familiar Humvee parked just across the road.

I ducked down below my window. Taking a deep breath I shot up and pulled my window shut, drew the blinds and rolled away from the window. Rib protesting only slightly.

Heart pounding I crawled out my study room; once out of view of the window, I leapt to my feet and fled downstairs. I crept up to a front window and peeked outside.

After about 6 seconds the Humvee suddenly roared to life and zipped off down the road. I stared after its retreating form for a further minute before deciding it wasn’t coming back.

“Maybe it wasn’t Swindle…Yeah, dream on (y/n).” I mumbled furiously, arguing with myself over whether to call Bee or not.

I eventually decided not to call the bot; ‘it would only worry him.’ Instead, I opted for putting the memory stick back on its string and carrying on as if I had never watched it.

‘Ha…good luck with that (y/n)!’

 ---------------Timeskip--------------------------

 I had been back to the base a couple of times. The Autobots and Sari were welcoming and, I must admit, it was nice to see them again. Bumblebee had been worrisome and clingy at first but he had calmed down now. He kept blaming himself for my kidnapping. ‘Poor bot.’

On the other hand, being back there felt…weird. Like something was missing. I hadn’t been spending as much time there as I used to.

On the plus side, I got my bandages removed for the final time yesterday.

When I had left the hospital, a suspicious looking Humvee had backed around a far corner; I had done my best to ignore it.

Right now I was cooking myself a little lunch of turkey salad and potato wedges (or whatever you want it to be). I set the timer and went to go watch a bit of TV before eating. Just as I sat down, my doorbell went off.

‘Is that Bee again?’

I quickly bounded to my front door; I opened it and then just as quickly slammed it shut again.

‘Oh gosh…Swindle’s outside!’

I ran a hand through my hair then opened the door again, albeit a little more tentatively; just my head peeking around the door.

There on my front porch stood Swindle’s Holoform, holding a huge bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates.

I opened the door wider and just stared at him in absolute confusion. “Uuuuuhhhhhhhhh?????”

His eyes glanced towards my chest and widened at the sight of the memory stick hanging around my neck.

I opened my mouth to speak when the ring of my timer went off. Both Swindle and I glanced back into my house.

“Um…here” and with that, he shoved the gifts into my arms and promptly fled towards his alt-mode.

I almost dropped the gifts but steadied myself. Almost unconsciously I wanted to call him back, the sound of screeching tyres prompting me to call out, “SWINDLE!”

But he was already gone.

I took an uncertain step backwards and slowly shut my door. I walked to my kitchen and placed the flowers and chocolates on the side. I turned off the oven and dished all my food onto a plate. I sat on the side and ate my lunch, all the while staring at the flowers Swindle had given me.

I had just finished washing up when my doorbell went off again.

I cautiously walked back to my front door and opened it to once again see Swindle on my doorstep. He was rocking back and forth on his feet before quickly straightening up on seeing me open the door.

“Well?”  I looked at the con expectantly, ‘honestly, I was growing tired of always worrying about his next move.’

He looked at me and gestured to the memory stick, “So you watched it.” It was more of a statement than a question and I knew it. My hand closed around the device and I nodded, almost sheepishly. Swindle nodded back then in one swift motion pulled me to him and kissed me. He drew back before I even knew what had happened.

His face a bright red and by the heat, I felt in my cheeks; I didn’t look any better. I frowned in confusion.

“That’s my…uh…goodbye, if you want me out of your life, I’ll be going now.” Swindle turned to leave, a crestfallen look on his face.

My hand shot out, grabbing his own in a tight grip.

“Swindle wait.”

Shock resonated in his eyes and I just smiled softly; whilst quickly releasing his wrist.

“Would you like to come inside…there are some things I think we need to talk about. About what’s on this”, I gestured to the memory stick, “and this”, I gestured between the both of us.

Swindle looked dumbstruck for a second before he straightened up. He ran a hand through his hair, threw me the most self-assured smile he could muster at that moment and nonchalantly replied, “whatever you say, sweetness.”

‘In all honesty, he looks like a total goof, sexy, but still a goof.’

I chuckled at his antics and stood to the side, gesturing the con inside.

He stepped, almost reverently, across my porch and I shut the door.

 ----------------------Timeskip-----------------------

 I was currently watching an action movie (or whatever you like) on TV with my boyfriend of 2 years, Swindle. The Autobots had been a bit alarmed when we told them, Bee, especially. ‘I’ll never forget his reaction’.

 (Flashback: 

I sat on Swindle’s shoulder plate, just outside the door of the Autobot base. It was about 3 months after he turned up on my doorstep and we had officially been going out for about two weeks. I pointed to the door and we entered. “Don’t look!” I told Swindle when I input the code to turn off the alarms. We headed further into the base and I heard Sari cheering in the background. We turned the corner and I glanced sideways to see Swindle grimacing, breaking into the cybertronian version of a cold sweat. I placed a hand on his cheek plate. “Relax.” He smiled but otherwise remained silent. He glanced forward again and his eyes widened. I looked forward again and was not surprised to see all the Autobots staring at us, weapons drawn and ready for battle. Bumblebee was the only one not in a battle stance; he was just staring at me in shock.

A tinge of guilt ran through me and I couldn’t meet his optics. Instead, I opted to look at Optimus instead. “Um…Optimus, we were wondering if we could talk to you.”

Swindle pitched in, “Please.”

I think it was that which shocked them even more than the fact that I was currently riding on a Decepticon’s shoulder; the fact that said Decepticon said please.

Ratchet walked into the Medbay and Optimus gestured us in after him. ‘Guess Ratchet wants to hear this too huh.’

Just as we were about to go through the door, Optimus stopped Swindle. “(Y/n) I would prefer it if you waited out here, we’d like to talk to Swindle alone.” Apprehension filled me but Swindle raised a servo to lower me to the ground.

“Don’t worry…I’ll be alright love.” I nodded and sent him a last encouraging smile before watching his spinal struts disappear through the door. Optimus following after.

I walked silently to the sofa and perched on the edge. The silence behind me means one thing. I sighed and turned around. Sari was glaring at me and Bumblebee was still staring at me. He seemed to gather himself a moment.

“(Y/n)…why did you bring…him, to the base?” I looked up at the yellow bot.

“Because…he’s my boyfriend.” Bumblebee froze, “come again.” I grew tired and huffed irritably. “You heard me.”

I swear I saw sparks fly from his helm before he suddenly shot up. Much to the surprise of all present. His optics narrowed and suddenly morphed to a startling shade of scarlet. “I’ll kill him”’ Prowl took the initiative and grabbed him before he could run into the Medbay. Bulkhead joined him and together they restrained the violently thrashing bot.

“Bumblebee…calm yourself.” Prowl’s ever wise advice. After a moment, his eyes returned to normal and he stopped thrashing. “I’m fine.” He shrugged out of their hold and stalked off to his berthroom.

I slumped and sighed when Sari’s voice piped up beside me. “It’s not fair to Bee you know…but, if he makes you happy.” And with those words, she sprinted out the room after Bumblebee. I waited in tense silence. Prowl stood in a corner, head bowed, watching the door to the Medbay.

After about half an hour, the door opened and out walked a grumbling Ratchet, a thoughtful Optimus and a beaming Swindle. He saw me and, if that was possible, smiled even wider. He bounced over, ‘not very Decepticon like’, and scooped me up. He cradled me to his chassis lovingly, “I can stay!” I smiled back in response to my love’s own overflowing joy. However, he froze when he caught sight of Bumblebee walking back into the room. He approached us and I saw Prowl shift almost imperceptibly; ready to leap forward if necessary.

He stopped in front of Swindle and addressed me, “(y/n) I’m sorry for earlier…but if it makes you happy, then I’m happy.” I smiled sadly at him, “Thank you Bee.”

He then looked up into Swindle’s optics and addressed him, “but if you ever hurt (her/him)…”

“I won’t!” Swindle cut in. They stared at each other in a silent standoff, before Bumblebee gave him a sad smile, “Look after (y/n).”

He then turned his back on us, “Sari…I don’t feel like a rematch…how about a drive instead?”

I watched him go, Sari sending me one last look before I leaned into Swindle’s chassis; feeling both sad for Bumblebee but also grateful for my boyfriend’s existence. Optimus then looked at us both sternly. “You still have to prove yourself, Swindle.”

“Don’t worry Optimus…I will.” Flashback end)

 They all learnt to trust him after he proved he had no sinister plot for me. He became an “honest” business bot and dropped all dealings with the Decepticons. He’d removed his Decepticon brand but he hadn’t gone so far as to get an Autobot one yet.

Peace had finally settled between the two factions; “not good for business but good for us” as Swindle would frequently say.

Next week was Valentine’s Day and he had promised me a special surprise, as well as a trip to Cybertron. I couldn’t wait.

 ----------------------Timeskip to Valentine’s Day-------------------------

 Today had been amazing. I’d spent the day riding around on Swindle’s shoulder, seeing the sights of Cybertron. He had made a quick drop into his new business branch; Swindle Co. ‘I fragging laughed so hard when I heard that name I don’t know why…I just found it hilarious.’

Finally, we went back to his ship and set a course for Earth. We made the jump through a space bridge and Swindle set the autopilot to orbit the Earth. I looked at him in confusion, until he carried me over to a window. I looked in awe at the blue jewel beneath us.

Just when I thought the day couldn’t get any better, Swindle abruptly transformed around me. I landed in the passenger seat and his Holoform appeared in the driver’s seat. Violet eyes sparkling and hair in disarray.

“Swindle how many times are you going to surprise me with that?”

He chuckled then gestured to the dash as it opened to reveal a small black velvet box.

I picked it up, while Swindle desperately tried to fix his hair.

I giggled, “Now doesn’t this seem familiar.”

He smiled and said, “Open it.”

Curiously I flicked the catch and lifted the lid; I almost dropped the box in shock.

On a small velvet bed lay a gold ring, inlaid with black diamond around an amethyst.

Shock ran through my core as Swindle took one of my hands in his.

“(Y/n) you are the love of my life, will you be my Sparkmate and…marry me?”

The answer was obvious.

.

.

.

“YES!”

.

.

Blue optics reflected the light of the sun as the yellow mech sat outside the Autobot base. He sighed and watched a certain human and former Decepticon go running out of the base; him transforming and her getting in before the pair zoomed off.

“Stay happy (y/n).” The mumbled words finally leaving his lip-plates, along with a feeling of relief.

He got up and walked inside, no longer feeling the urge to watch the human. He walked into the main room and a certain techno-organic looked over and smiled, “Hey Bee, wanna play a video game!”

The young girl’s shining eyes meeting his optics and a surge of happiness ran through him at the sight of his friend. “Of course…Sari!”

     Bumblebee ending:

I stared at the box and went over what it could possibly be in my head. I snapped out of my reverie when a feeling of great sorrow, not mine, washed over me and I saw the compartment beginning to close. I considered taking it, but then an image of Bumblebee swept through my mind; without my own conscious though Bee’s name whispered from my lips. ‘Why did he…?’ I watched the compartment close and guiltily stared at the dash.

That sorrowful feeling intensified but it was mixed with…something else.

I sat, tense and silent in the passenger seat of Swindle’s alt-mode. Eventually, Swindle slowed.

I looked out the window to see us slowing and coming to a stop in…the junkyard. ‘How fitting.’

Bumblebee stood rigid in front of us and Swindle’s transformed. I fell into his servo and had just a second to adjust before his digits held me up.

The sound of Bee’s stingers powering up reached my ears. “Give (her/him) back Swindle!’

Swindle closed his optics and exvented heavily. Small unstable chuckles began to emit from his liplates and both Bee and I stared at the con in shock and borderline fear.

“You know what Autobot…I actually loved (y/n)”, the cons eyes opened to reveal that they were no longer their usual shade of violet, but instead a terrifying shade blood red, “but you took that from me.”

Bee took a hesitant step back in shock but then charged when Swindle's grip tightened around my human form; holding me immobile.

Swindle sidestepped and kicked the bot down.

“If I can’t have (y/n)…you won’t either!”

I whimpered in pain as Swindle’s servo began to close around my body. My arm and ribs cracking and flaring up. Black spots danced in front of my eyes as I struggled to get oxygen. It didn’t stop me catching the small look of guilt on Swindle’s faceplate and the small swirl of violet returning to his optics. Only for me to suddenly be released and go soaring through the air; Bumblebee had employed a roundhouse kick, taking Swindle’s legs out from under him and sending me flying. I enjoyed a brief moment of weightlessness before gravity once again took hold.

Both pain and relief flooded my body as two yellow servos snatched me from the air. The world tumbled and rolled as Bumblebee flipped away from Swindle. Finally, the world settled and I found myself on Bee’s left servo while his right was in stinger mode and pointed at Swindle.

Swindle picked himself up of the ground and looked dead at Bee with hatred in his optics. However, this actually vanished completely, when I promptly collapsed in Bee’s servo. I looked down at my side to see blood and lots of it.

Swindle’s optics fully returned to their violet colour and he gave a gasping sob. He just managed to choke out, “I’m so sorry (y/n)”, before transforming and zooming off.

The light dimmed on the edges of my vision, as the last thing I saw were Bumblebee’s concerned optics.

“Don’t worry (y/n)…I’ll get you to Ratchet…hold…on…”

My world faded to black.

 ----------------------------Timeskip-------------------------------

 #Beep…Beep…Beep#

I awoke; harsh, white light flooding my vision. I winced. The beeping in the background sped up marginally before settling again. As my eyes adjusted I started to get my bearing. I was obviously in some sort of hospital; the white light and decor, smell of antiseptic and medical equipment said it all, ‘especially the IV in my arm’.

I tried to move my arm only to have a small tinge of pain flash through me. I looked at my body to see my middle wrapped in bandages and a cast on my other arm. After analysing the damage to my body, I had another look around my room.  

There was someone else in the room with me. In a corner, asleep on a chair was a human around my age. He had chocolate brown skin and shockingly bright, spiky blond hair. He was wearing a black t-shirt, yellow trousers with black stripes down the side, a yellow and black jacket, black fingerless gloves and what looked like yellow and black skateboarding elbow and knee pads. Yellow goggles with black accents sat on top of his head, nestling among his blonde tresses. He was sat on the chair so that his head rested on his folded arms. Every so often he would give a little huff or these super cute little mini-snores. ‘Awwwww…wow (y/n) there’s a stranger in your room and the first thing you think is awwww.’

My head jerked up to the sound of the door opening. In walked a worried looking nurse, only for her face to break into a beaming smile.

“You’re finally awake!” She walked over and checked the screen on the machine next to me. “Looking good” She then addressed me directly, “Well honey, you’ve been in a coma for the past 12 days, your boyfriend over there brought you in and he hasn’t left your side since.” She gestured towards the sleeping male and I was too stunned by the news that I had been in a coma, to even try to correct her on the fact that I didn’t know him. “You’ll have to stay here till Friday while we check you for any lasting damage but I’m sure you’ll be discharged just fine.’

By the time I had gathered my senses and opened my mouth to speak, she had already left. I stared at the closed door in bewilderment before turning to the sleeping male; who was waking up. He gave a small groan, stretched then opened his eyes to reveal, practically glowing, bright blue eyes.

He stared dumbfounded at me for a second, before leaping to his feet with a broad grin on his face. I jerked back in shock as he rushed over and engulfed me in a careful, hug. “(Y/n) you’re awake!”

I froze, ‘that sounded like…’

I disengaged myself from the male, “Bumblebee?”

He nodded vigorously, grinning the whole time. “Yep…this is my Holoform.”

He then turned deadly serious, “I was so scared when Swindle took you if you died...I would have found that con and ripped him apart till no one would even recognise the pile of scrap that was left.” His eyes flashed a dark scarlet when he said that last part.

‘Okay…officially freaking out inside about the eye colour thing.’

Then Bee’s face turned sorrowful, optics returning to normal. “And then do you know what I would do (y/n)?” I looked at him in confusion, “I would go offline.”

“WHAT! WHY?”

He looked at me, blue orbs boring a hole straight into my soul. “Because I never want to be without you, you make me feel…happy.” Then he grinned mischievously, “and you still owe me a date.”

I threw him an ‘are you kidding me’ look and he laughed. Eventually I joined in with his chuckles and he started ecstatically catching me up on all the latest Autobot news.

-----------------------Timeskip-------------------

 It had been a couple days since I had finally gotten my cast and bandages off. I was currently sitting on the sofa in the Autobot base with Sari fussing over me with a comb.

“Honestly Sari stop!” I was trying to escape the overexcited girl and her comb of doom.

“If you’re going on a date with Bumblebee you have to look perfect!”

I leapt the sofa and seeing my chance ran past a bemused Prowl calling out a loud, “Help me!”

I stopped fleeing in relief when I heard the annoyed whines of Sari as Prowl picked her up and trapped her in his two servos. I threw him a thumbs up and sprinted out the base to go meet Bee.

‘Yes…I had made sorta-friends with the ever stoic Prowl.’

I walked outside into dazzling sunshine to see Bumblebee’s alt mode parked up just beyond the door. His passenger side door opened and I climbed in.

“Get ready to have some serious fun!” Bee excitedly called before zipping off down the road.

‘Of course, Bee took me to an arcade.’ We played everything from Pacman to shoot-em-up games; we were there till 6 before bee told me he had something else for me and dragged me back to his alt-mode. He took me to a restaurant.

As we walked inside I looked around I awe at the fancy décor and the huge crystal chandelier hanging high above us. When I turned back to Bee I was pleasantly surprised to see his Holoform’s clothes had changed from his usual attire to a black and yellow tuxedo.

I chuckled but the confusion was evident in my voice when I asked, “Bee?”

He didn’t respond and instead said something to the maître-de. We were led up a grand staircase and round many tables of the restaurant until we were led out onto a balcony. A table set for two was the centrepiece of the open space, offset with two pedestals covered in roses.

The maître-de left us both alone and I leaned against the balcony railing; Bee joining my side.

“Bee this is incredible, I never knew you could pull off being a gentleman.”

Bumblebee laughed at that and took one of my hands in his. “(Y/n), will you go out with me…be, as you humans say…my (boyfriend/girlfriend)?”

I was once again rendered mute by shock, ‘he was serious before!’ A warm feeling spread throughout my chests and my heart started racing at about 100 miles per second. Struggling to find my voice I decided to answer with my actions. I leaned forward and swiftly kissed Bumblebee. He melted into my touch and when we pulled away I could see, and feel, that we were both blushing heavily.

“Yes, Bee…I would.”

The young Autobot began grinning like a love-struck fool and I chuckled and gently guided him to sit down. No sooner had we both sat down then a waiter appeared, seemingly from nowhere; “Here are the menus.” He disappeared as quickly as he came.

I opened my menu and sneaked a glance at Bumblebee who was staring at his menu, confusion evident on his face.

“Do you want me to help you choose?”

 -----------------------Timeskip--------------------

 I was currently lying on top of my boyfriend of 2 years. Bumblebee was asleep in his berth room and I was dangling a feather over his faceplate. ‘Prowl had helped me get on top of his berth. Every so often he would mumble, twitch or try to escape the ticklish menace.

“He’s so cute it’s hilarious.”

“Cute am I.” I looked into his now open optics. A blush forming on my face.

‘Shoot…did I say that out loud?’

“I think you’re pretty cute too.” I nuzzled into Bee’s chassis and he placed a servo over my small form. All of a sudden he shifted and I had a two-second warning before I was flung in the air. He transformed around me and I landed on the soft seats of Bee’s alt-mode.

“Hey (y/n)?”

I looked at his newly appeared Holoform in the driver’s seat, frowning with slight annoyance at being tossed in the air like a ragdoll, “Yes Bumbleb…” I froze. My frown dropped. He was holding up a silver and gold plated ring with a yellow garnet offset by black diamonds set in it. Love was plainly shown in his eyes.

“What would you say to…marrying me?”

An enormous smile spread over my face. My answer was the same as the first time he asked me out.

.

.

.

“YES, Bumblebee…yes!”

.

.

.

-------------------extra------------------

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

A small black velvet box rested in the shaking servos of a weeping mech. In the darkness, the vivid violet of their optics faded in time with the cracking of their spark. Smears of rusts and energon marred their once bright purple and gold/brown finish. They didn’t know how long they had stayed this way…ignoring the outside world and letting events replay in their processor; like a waking nightmare.

Shuddering gasps left their prone body until with a sharp intake, they were still. Their optics closed and they remained immobile. Until…with a sudden motion, they clenched their servo, crushing the box and its contents. Insane laughter left their liplates as their optics opened to reveal a brilliant scarlet, all traces of the former mech…gone.

“I’ll destroy you…Bumblebee!”

    Author note:

So I hope you enjoyed this. I apologise now if characters are a bit OOC…it’s been a while since I watched any TFA.

The inspiration for the extra Swindle bit at the end of Bumblebee’s ending came from a harry potter fan quote. → Voldemort taught me, ‘that a life without love, isn’t a life worth living.’

TOP 25 FICS OF 2018

1. A Cornstalk Fiddle by @notbecauseofvictories | Devil Went Down To Georgia | The Devil/Johnny | 17k

Where Johnny goes, the Devil follows; where Johnny goes, the Devil is already there.

Heather Says: So. I never thought that my favorite fic of the entire year would be a fic written about a song - and one that I don’t even particularly like - but here I am. I read this fic the same night that I finally broke down and watched Moonlight, and ended up listening to Moonlight’s End Credits and Hello Stranger by Barbara Lewis on repeat while I finished that first chapter on my back porch. This is that perfectly atmospheric fic that you’ll find maybe once every ten years and could probably sustain you on its memory for just as long.

2. Work of All Saints by @kaikamahine | Coco | Imelda/Hector/Ernesto | 210k

Imelda Rivera (b. 1899 - d. 1969), a story that includes but is not limited to: the finest music school this side of the Santo Domingo, three traveling musicians and the mess they made of love, the twice-cursed assassination of Venustiano Carranza, all the patron saints, and ninety-six ways a man can try to cross a bridge.

Heather Says: This story blew my entire mind. It was lovely, and tragic, and hilarious, and everything that a good novel should be. The parts of this fic that map out the unseen lives of Imelda, Hector, and Ernesto, that hidden backstory that a movie can only hint about, were exquisite to the point that I was afraid getting to the point where, well, they die, would be a letdown. It really wasn’t. If anything, the story managed to get richer as it went along, until suddenly you’re in a room sobbing into a pillow at four in the morning and have to be awake in four hours. No regrets.

3. Under the Covers by @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger | Stranger Things | Billy/Steve | 87k

Steve is (maybe) a little bit still in love with Nancy Wheeler and (maybe) trying to figure himself out-- between the night terrors and the babysitting and the general weirdness that is Hawkins, Indiana-- before he graduates.

Billy Hargrove fits in there somewhere (probably).

Heather Says: Under the Covers was the first Harringrove fic that actually kicked me over the edge from ‘eh this ship looks like it would have good hate sex’ and into full-fledged believer. It’s an intricately crafted look into the world of Billy Hargrove and Steve Harrington post-season two and it is absolutely glorious.

4. Bloody Ruin by esama | Castlevania | Alucard/Trevor | 37k

Vampire hunter and a vampire try to get along.

Heather Says: Written before season two came out, this was one of those fics that I clicked on because the pairing interested me and I wanted to see how it worked. It did not disappoint, and even after I delved through the tag on ao3 after I marathoned season two, this is still my favorite.

5. a road less traveled and a life less led by Azzandra | Dishonored | Billie & The Outsider | 9k

She took him out of the Void, as promised. And then she kept him, she supposed.

Heather Says: You know all that fanart that started cropping up after Death of the Outsider came out? The ones where Billie and the Outsider crept around Dunwall or Karnaca stealing fish and safes and graffiti-ing buildings? The ones with that found family vibe? Yeah. This fic scratches the same itch that all that art did.

6. But I’m Not There Yet by sarahyyy | Yuri On Ice | Yuri/Otabek | 71k

“Are you not going to read the article?” she asks, flopping onto his bed. “Look who ranked second, just after Phichit Chulanont.”

Otabek reluctantly scrolls down, and oh. #2 - Yuri Plisetsky

In the embedded Instagram photo just under that subheading, a very grumpy Yuri is cuddling a very grumpy-looking cat. The caption reads: I found the cat version of me at the shelter today. #iknowisaidnomorecats #canyoublameme

Heather Says: And here, in the stupid cute category we have teenagers navigating love through social media. What’s more, there’s a companion fic.

7. flowers start to bloom in every different hue by orphan-account | Coraline | Coraline/Wybourn | 1k

Coraline grows up, gets a tattoo, and falls in love. In that order.

Heather Says: I read this fic on a slow day at work, often in quick bursts while I was waiting for the kitchen to finish my table’s food. It’s short. It’s sweet. It’s perfect. And honestly? It’s everything that I was looking for when I ventured into the Coraline tag on ao3 because I was curious.

8. Victory Conditions by @astolat | Transformers | Megatron/Optimus Prime | 37k

“Do you want me to tell you a story?” Megatron said mockingly. “You won’t like it, Prime. It’s not a very nice one.”

Heather Says: Fun fact, I’m not even in this fandom. I haven’t touched the Transformers fandom since the first movie came out in 2007 and I spent a very confusing week shipping a boy and his car. But Astolat has literally never lead me wrong, and I was having one of those bored days where nothing quite itches the right spot, so I sat down on the couch and spent two hours reading this. Worth it.

  9. just in it for the game by grim_lupine | Thor | Thor/Loki | 6k

“It's excellent rehabilitation for my image,” Loki says, widening his eyes. “They love you, and because of that they'll trust me. You wouldn't ruin this for me, would you?”

Thor glares at him.

Loki’s mouth twitches. “Also, it's the funniest thing that's ever happened to me.”

Heather Says: The Thor/Loki bug never really bit me until after Ragnorak came out. I mean, sure, I read it and it was good, but hella’s Frostiron fics basically destroyed me for any other Loki pairing. HOWEVER. Ragnorak happened and screwed that all the way up. Also, you know, this fic is absolutely lovely and was just what the doctor ordered.

10. so this guy walks into a bar by MasterOfAllImagination | Pacific Rim | Newt/Hermann | 2.5k

“Bourbon,” Hermann says, hooking his cane on the edge of the bar and sliding by degrees onto a stool.

“Straight up?” the bartender asks.

“Please.” Does he look like the kind of man who enjoys having his nostrils fumigated by undiluted whiskey? “On the rocks.”

Heather Says: I coped with Pacific Rim 2 by reading a couple AUs and a couple very, very long fics full of tragedy and math. Weirdly, the AU of a chance meeting in a bar was the one that stuck.

11. cherry pie by @brawlite & @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger | Stranger Things | Billy/Steve | 133k

Billy Hargrove lives for summer. Endless sunshine, heavily chlorinated pools, roaming ice cream trucks, and unencumbered freedom? There’s nothing better.

Even being stuck in Hawkins can’t ruin the summer for him. He eats it up, devouring every day whole.

Heather Says: Yeah, okay, but this is the fic that made summer worth it. Highly recommend reading at the pool or with your feet hanging off the back porch. Every piece of this fic was dripping in summertime nostalgia. It was fan-freaking-tastic.

12. the ghost and the good queen val by Wildehack (tyleet) | Thor | Thor/Valkyrie/Loki | 27k

“What,” she says, her heart racing, “was that.”

“What was what?” Korg asks, frowning up at her. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Valkyrie squints suspiciously at the ship.

“Oh my god,” Korg says. “You did! You saw a ghost!”

Heather Says: So, remember how I coped with Pacific Rim 2 with copious AUs? This is how I coped with Infinity War.

13. For Better or Worse by DragonBandit  | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 22k

All Damien ever wanted was someone who wanted him. All Damien deserves is to die alone, stripped bare of any of the comforts or affections of humanity, a title he willingly shed.

Mark Bryant seems to be the Universe's compromise.

Wherein Damien and Mark are soulmates, and this changes enough.

Heather Says: I think I’ve read this one three or four time this year? It’s 22k of well-written fic for a fandom that has a max of like 100 fics all with lengths that tend to vary between a couple hundred words to 2 or 3k, max. This fic is the one that really catapulted me into the fandom. 

14. in waves by @lymricks | Stranger Things | Billy/Steve | 38k

It’s March and it’s too cold for Billy to be shirtless and wearing shorts, but he hadn’t noticed until Harrington appeared and made him hold still. Harrington can’t seem to stop looking at the bruises. “What’s it to you if I miss a little school, Harrington?” Billy asks. He feels goosebumps rising on his skin.

“I don’t know,” Harrington snaps back, looking uncomfortable. He shifts his weight from one foot to the other. Plant your feet, Billy wants to scream at him. I’m going to bowl you over.

Heather Says: And here we have the first fic that wasn’t written by either @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger or @brawlite that made me realize that this fandom was gonna be a good one. So fantastic.

15. the cure by aquaexplicit | The Flash | Cisco/Harry | 43k

“I guess I don’t really get what you need to fix? Harrison Wells is a hot, rich genius that pays you to make cool stuff with his daughter and is totally into you. If you guys boning is the biggest problem you have, I think this officially qualifies as your best relationship ever.”

When Barry puts it like that, everything sounds so simple and not at all as angst ridden as Cisco has been suffering the past few months.

Cisco hangs up on him.

Heather Says: I remember a couple years ago, I fell absolutely head over heels for this one Sterek fic where Derek had twin toddlers and Stiles was the hired babysitter. So I think there’s something about dad + babysitter fics that get me, even if this one in particular the ‘baby’ in question is a fifteen year old genius. Still. Dad + babysitter. I don’t even know, but apparently it works for me.

16. pull out the insides by SpineAndSpite | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 3k

“Stop,” Damien says again, more insistent this time.

“I’m not doing it on purpose.” Mark's heart pounds in his ears and he sees Damien’s hands shaking. God. They shouldn’t have started talking about sex. Shouldn’t have filled in the colors and shadows to this pencil outline of a sketch forming between them. They shouldn’t have given it a name.

Heather Says: This year seems to have had a theme when it comes to fics that I’ve liked and it seems to boil down to: people who are bad for each other have sex and catch feelings. Mark/Damien is not the healthiest ship. But it also hurts in this stupidly tragic way and hell if I didn’t fall head over heels for it.

17. tell me, get my shit together by paperclipbitch | Star Wars | Han/Lando | 5k

“I thought we were actively avoiding each other after the Trandosha Shitshow,” Han says.

“We’re actively avoiding each other after the Iridonia Shitshow,” Lando corrects him, “the Trandosha Shitshow is That Which We Do Not Speak Of.”

Heather Says: So, guess what I did in the two to three hours after seeing Solo? If you guessed: ‘combed through ao3 until you ran out of fic’ ding ding ding, you are 100% correct. This one was very, very good, which makes sense, because paperclipbitch has some good shit.

18. chases, escapes, true love, miracles by pepperfield | The Flash | Cisco/Harry 55k

Just because the timeline has been restored, doesn't mean things are back to normal. Cisco's got 99 problems, and Harry Wells is approximately 38 of them.

In which Cisco makes a bunch of plans, fails most of them, narrowly avoids being disintegrated, receives a hug or two, finds his groove, and gets his man. More or less in that order.

Heather Says: This one was long and wibbly wobbly, because it was basically what season 3 should have been. But it was also really great, and had some super quality Harrisco interactions.

19. Your Pretty Little Heart by Ever-so-reylo | Star Wars | Reylo | 64k

Modern day AU in which Ben is an Alpha, Rey is an Omega, and they are way better at having sex than at communicating with each other.

Heather Says: Speaking of people who are probably a little bit bad for each other... This particular fic was new to me, not because of the um, extensive sexual content, but because I’m usually not a fan of A/B/O. But this one was extremely good, enough that I actually liked it for a/b/o aspect rather than in spite of it.

20. Draconia by perceived_nobility | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 4k

"So I was driving. One ex wife and one ex husband later, stopping at the same fucking gas stations you and I stopped at."

Heather Says: This fic actually prompted a 3 hour long conversation on the ‘adult’ Mark/Damien discord where we basically outlined an entire fic that I never got around to writing where Damien is raising a child, has a farm, and runs into Mark ten years down the ride. One day, I might write it, because vaguely domestic, meet-again-ten-years-down-the-road fics always bowl me right the fuck over and just. There needs to be more fic like this one in the world. But until then, the world can marvel at the beauty that is this one.

21. Artifice by buttpatrol | Wolf 359 | Hera/Eiffel | 23k

A story told in parts about colour palettes, identity, robot uprisings, sensational trials, space, and messy love.

Heather Says: As I’ve recently finished relistening to Wolf 359 I have a fresh appreciation for this fic, which is one of the only longer fics on ao3 that just grips you by the heart and squeezes the same way that the series does. It might have been written before the end of the series, but it’s honestly just as perfect.

22. (shoot the lights out, hide) till its bright out by lipgallagher | Stranger Things | Billy/Steve | 93k

The most dangerous thing walking around Hawkins goes by the name Billy Hargrove.

And he fucking knows it.

Heather Says: I’m kind of cheating here, because this is a series rather than a single fic, but I’m not picking just one part. I read the first four or so parts of this fic when I was visiting my family in South Carolina and spent the next few days wandering around the place half-in Steve Harrington’s headspace. It was an incredibly surreal experience, which lead to a pretty strong combination of mania, depression, and an indescribable craving for ice cream. So like, maybe don’t read this fic if you’re in a bad head space? But also it’s very good and features one of the most fucked up and intriguing Steve’s that I’ve seen yet.

23. Until My Feet Bleed and My Heart Aches by Reiya | Yuri On Ice | Yuuri/Viktor | 197k

‘…Of all the rivalries in the world of sports over the years, perhaps none has become so legendary as that of Russian figure skater Viktor Nikiforov and his rival, Japanese Yuuri Katsuki…’

Heather Says: I actually read this one on the plane ride down to South Carolina, and kind of didn’t like it at first? I’m not sure if it was just the act of putting Yuuri and Victor into the position of rivals that made me uncomfortable or the goddamn delays that turned half a day of travelling into a full one, but eventually I was able to get into and enjoyed it quite a bit. I really like the rivals to lovers trope, so I’d been looking forward to this one a lot.

24. Traveling Far by @astolat | Game of Thrones | Jaime/Brienne | 24k

Three weeks into their delightful slog across Westeros, during yet another charming day of shitting in the woods, eating half-raw squirrel, and trudging his feet bloody, the single most dour and uninteresting woman Jaime had ever met in all of Westeros stopped in the middle of a field, drew a deep breath, and said, “When I was seven, my aunt came to visit with her son.

Every girl is entitled to the mistake. That one colossal fuck-up that permanently alters the terrain of who you are. You'll either learn from it or you won't, so might as well have the time of your life.

Heather Says: I just. I really like flower shop AUs, and the idea of a Kylo Ren who owns a sleek flower shop being menaced by a tiny gremlin in a leather jacket just. Kills me. It was really sweet and all kinds of wonderful.

What do you think about Impact Man (Pile Man) and Bounce Man (Rubber Man) ? What do you think about the "americanized" names of the recent Robot Masters, as well, their voice acting (Japanese / English) ?

It’s kind of a mixed bag of thinking this is both very, very cool, and somewhat “OH LORD, WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?!?!” for both of them, in all honesty! XD

Let’s start off with the positives, though.

Impact Man has a pretty unique gimmick in that he is 3 separate pile driver minor enemy-like robots that merge to create a single Robot Master body. It is pretty reminiscent of Swordman.EXE. Unlike Sword, though, it doesn’t seem like each one has different personalities or one takes control and gives him different voices and attacks, based off the gameplay trailer (which you can view at IGN). Would’ve been neat.

That transformation power plays into his design a bit I think, because his truck cab chest and exhaust pipes on his shoulders are a little reminiscent of another transforming robot in disguise, Optimus Prime. So, while he is a Guts/Concrete clone model in some respects, I like that Transformers homage in his design. I might not necessarily see how the 3 brothers get all the other pieces needed to make up his complete body, but if you stare close enough at all 3, you can at least make out most of his body parts among them.

Even though his bonus forms, the fidget spinner and giant power jackhammer piledriver are neat, they are also goofy and a bit over the top. Especially again, for being 3 little minor enemy bots to transform how they do. Block Man breaking through the ceiling of his temple room and absorbing all those bricks to make his golem body makes more sense than Impact’s Power Gear transformation, to me. Like, why are there now 6 more brothers for that form? Where did they come from? When he spins, I count 10 exhaust pipes. Where did that 10th brother come from? 3+6=9! But maybe I’m overthinking it.

The Pile Driver weapon does seem pretty cool, from fooling around with it in the demo. It’s more like X’s air dash, but with that recoil from when Rock makes an impact with a wall or enemy. Probably useful for speedrunners, or maybe some trickery with that bounceback.

His American voice is that of an overly-dramatic thespian/showman. It honestly doesn’t sound much different from his over-the-top inflection in Japanese. It’s different. But I’m not enamored with it. 

Bounce’s backstory of being a crash test dummy-turned fitness instructor is pretty funny. I await all the Bounce Man being used as an exercise ball art that is bound to happen. Also, he’s got jazz hands in his official art, so that’s amazing. 

Stretch Armstrong’s stage looks like a super fun mix of Spring Man and Clown Man, from what little glimpse we saw. I have a feeling many are either going to absolutely love the mechanics of bouncing against the rubber balls for jumps, or totally hate it. There was always some spring in Plant Man or Spring Man’s stage where you thought you had the high jump timed right with the press of the jump button when you fell on the spring, but instead it was just off, leading you to have the weak jump to your death instead. I see that happening here.

His special weapon looks like an extreme dodgeball match broke out on screen. I don’t know how rubber balls kill robots made of powerful metal, but sure, they’ll pack a punch.

Bouncy’s American voice is a little…buh…buh…oh, boy…It straddles being cute and horribly annoying. I get it, the kiddy girl voice fits for his theme, but he doesn’t really sound like, well, Bounce Man, now does he? Again, they did a good job of matching the Japanese voice in tone. Japan’s “boooy-ying” voice clip sounds a little cuter and less annoying to me, though.

I’m not so much a fan of these names being different between East and West. It is rather odd, and if they felt there would be an issue with the naming in one area, I don’t see why they didn’t stick to the safer name for them both, instead. 

Bounce/Rubber, I’m more indecisive on which is the better name to go with. Because they do both fit what he is well.  Either way, I think both lend themselves to some bad jokes, and I can already see all the inappropriate art and comments that will come from using both Bounce or Rubber. Not like we haven’t dealt with that for others like Hard and Wood, for example. But they were sorta stuck no matter which way they went with it. Even if they would have gone with calling him Ball Man, they’d be right in a corner with that naming, too. 

I do like Impact Man as a name. Perhaps if they would have gone with Piledriver Man over just Pile Man, it could have worked just as well. I think most people say piledriver and picture it without actually realizing what the pile is, but I could be wrong. 

Crude jokes are gonna happen, but I don’t think they should have altered the consistency of the naming of these characters due to that. Especially when it’s not something that has really been done at all before for Robot Masters in the Classic series. And if rumors are correct, these won’t be the only 2 with that fate in this game. It’s just a very odd situation. It’d be interesting to hear from Capcom on the reasoning, officially.

u-uhm ma'am or sir..? I would like to congratulate you on all of your work!! please do more when you can.. If you could.. link me the blitzwing fanfic if you don't have one.. Please start one :D

Blitzwing X Reader - Opposing Factions

A/N - Here you go pet, hope you enjoy ^_^

Warnings - None.

Rating - T

You glared vehemently at the canary-like cage Megatron had put you in. Earlier, the Decepticons Blitzwing and Lugnut were getting their cans kicked by the Autobots but before their retreat Blitzwing managed to capture you as a consolation prize and had since taken you to Megatron. Megatron was pleased with the capture of one of the Autobots pet humans, hoping that you would divulge information on their weaknesses. In truth, Megatron was right, the information you had could help the Decepticons win the war but that was redundant; you were determined not to tell them anything.

“What is your purpose with the autobots, human?” Megatron demanded, rattling the cage.

“I’ll tell you what, one question for another, I’ll answer yours if you’ll answer mine,” You responded cheekily. 

“You don’t seem to realise the danger you’re in. Do you really think you can negotiate?”

“Why not? I can’t leave so whatever you tell me is useless and I’m volunteering to give you information, which is better than wasting your time torturing me, thus leaving me too exhausted to answer anyway.”

Icy, Blitzwing’s more logical personality observed with interest before switching to Hothead and interrupting, “MAYBE WE LIKE THE TORTURE!”

“Ya,” Random took dominance, “We vant to see you dance the cha cha of secrets.” He laughed hysterically.

“SILENCE!” Megatron hollered, making Blitzwing cower. “Very well human, we have an agreement. Answer the question.”

“You took Professor Sumdac, in light of that, I became the carer for Sari, his daughter. Before that, I was a liaison to the bots,” You answered obediently. “My turn now, is Professor Sumdac here, alive and well?”

“Indeed he is, working for the Deceptacon cause. How do I gain access to the key this ‘Sari’ wields?”

“Oh come on! I’m here to answer questions, not come up with strategies for your incompetent ass.”

“Answer the question human.”

“I’ll answer it, if you surrender Professor Sumdac back to the Autobots.”

“You still don’t realise who you’re dealing with. I was willing to play along with your little game for a while; you are starting to bore me however. Blitzwing,” Icy stood to attention, “Guard the human, don’t let it out of your sight. Human, you’ll have a lot of time to think without any food or water; that should be sufficient for you to come up with a strategy for me.”

Megatron left the room which, upon further inspection, you realised was part of a cave with a door added. 

You examined your captor, Blitzwing, already bored with the scenario. “So… Do you work for him because of loyalty or fear?” You asked.

Icy glanced at you coolly, saying nothing. 

“Fear it is.”

Hothead appeared, slapping your cage, “I do not fear Megatron!”

You fought to stay upright, “Yes you do, somebody loyal would have said so. By saying nothing, you’re admitting a whole lot.”

“WHY YOU- I OUGHT TO CRUSH YOU HERE AND NOW.”

You smiled, covering your mouth to stifle a giggle.

“WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?”

“I’ve never seen you this close before.”

“SO?”

“Your tooth gap’s cute.”

Blitzwing covered his mouth, embarrassed, “It’s not cute, it’s menacing. Ah, why am I even talking to you? Be quiet filth.”

“If you don’t vant to talk I vill,” Random jumped in, laughing. “What makes a boom and kills humans? My tank alt.”

You inspected him curiously. “Hmm, how can you have two alt modes? I haven’t seen anyone else do that.”

“Thank the itsy bitsy spider, she’s even crazier zhan me.”

“…Right. Well, it’s cool at least. I really like your jet mode by the way.”

Icy appeared again, “Why are you being nice to me? It gains you nothing.”

“Neither does being mean. At least this way I get some civil conversation; if I’m going to starve to death, I at least don’t want to be bored doing it.”

With that, all three of Blitzwing’s personalities conversed with you, ignoring any topics that could cause argument such as the war or either faction within it. Over the coming days, the two of you grew rather fond of one another, forming a shaky bridge of trust. You no longer worried yourself with fears of starvation or dehydration because Blitzwing made sure to sneak in just enough food and water to keep you going without making it obvious to Megatron what was happening. He wished he could serve his master as ordered but in his lifetime of dual personalities, nobody had ever tried to understand him or seek out his company; you however did both.

After a month or so of your capture, Blitzwing realised, to his dismay, that he was falling in love with you; an emotion he hadn’t believed himself capable of. Unable to watch you wilting in captivity, Blitzwing did the one thing he could think of and staged your escape. 

He gave you a piece of scrap metal and unlocked the cage door. “Leave the metal in the cage,” Icy told you.

“Blitzwing, what are you doing?” You asked in a hushed tone.

“ I’m doing nothing, you are simply escaping after picking the lock.”

Random returned to add, “It’s good, ya?”

“Why are you doing this?” You whispered.

“WHY ARE YOU QUESTIONING IT?!” Hothead erupted.

“Ignore him,” Icy came back. “You’re going to hide in the hanger through the big door and wait till I come to pick you up in my jet form, okay?”

You nodded thankfully, not looking a gift horse in the mouth and let Blitzwing help you out of the cage.

Once you were out of the door and sufficiently hidden, he set off the alarm, Random appearing to say, “The human has escaped, what an ALARMING situation.”

Lugnut charged in furiously, “WHERE IS THE VERMIN?” 

“HOW SHOULD I KNOW? THAT’S WHY I SAID IT ESCAPED,” Hothead yelled.

“FIND IT BEFORE OUR PRESTIGIOUS LORD MEGATRON FINDS OUT!”

“Vhatever you say. Weeeeeeee!” Random ran put of the room giggling.

Upon spotting you, Icy called back to Lugnut, “I’ll take to the air for an aerial view.”

He transformed into a jet, opening the door to you and taking off once you were inside.

“Get down,” he whispered. “You can’t be seen.”

You ducked within the cockpit, hating that you couldn’t look out, if only to find out where they were keeping Professor Sumdac. It wasn’t a long flight before Blitzwing dropped you onto the beach of the city. He was about to take off without a word when you called for him to wait.

He paused.

“Will you get punished for this?”

“Probably,” he answered calmly.

“Then come with me, the Autobots will help you, please.”

Random took over again, “Ha, the Autobots are short a few lug nuts or just one.”

He took off, leaving you on the beach to make your way back to the Autobot base. When Optimus questioned you on your escape from the Deceptacons, you found you couldn’t tell the truth; instead, you made up a story about breaking out after a power shortage and passing out on a raft on the way back. Nobody questioned your story, leaving you free to go and rest in your room.

You attempted to sneak out of the base but Prowl stood at the door. It had been several months since your release from the Deceptacons and he’d noticed you sneaking out every Tuesday night after that. 

“Shouldn’t you be asleep?” He asked almost accusingly.

“I’m an adult Prowl, I don’t have to sleep as much as Sari, okay? So, if you’ll excuse me, I’d like to go out now.”

“Go out where?”

You heaved a fake sigh, “ Alright, look, I didn’t want to tell you all because I didn’t want to worry anybody but I sneak out so I can take a breather you know? Sometimes, I worry about Professor Sumdac and Sari. It just builds up and I need to escape from it. I’ve been taking nightly drives to calm down. Sometimes I drive in the city, other times the woods; it’s relaxing.”

“I see. My apologies for questioning you.”

“It’s alright, I know you mean well, your spark’s in the right place. Mind of I go now?”

“Not at all, have a nice drive (Y/N).”

You nodded and got into your car outside, heading straight to the beach where Blitzwing had initially freed you.

It wasn’t long before he showed up, landing gently beside you.

“Hey, sweetspark,” You greeted.

Icy picked you up, “Hello (Y/N).”

You pecked his cheek.

“Wowza!” Random’s head spun. “You have me all turned around,” he laughed.Icy returned and laid down on the sand, resting you on top of him to gaze at the stars.

“Do you think we’re crazy for doing this?” You murmured.

“I think we’re two people who fell in love at the wrong place and the wrong time.”

You held onto him tightly, “What does that mean?”

“It means we’ll have to find a way to make it work.”

You settled slightly, “…Yeah, okay.”

Can i have a cute tfp scenario with Optimus, ratchet, and bumblebee? Reader is a kid around raf's age and the humans decide to have a sleepover at the base. Reader couldn't find pjs because all of them are dirty and the only thing left to wear are panda onesies. They wear it and get embarrassed when miko takes picture as she laughs and reader runs to one of the bot's rooms to hide there from embarrassment.

Optimus Prime

You crept so slowly and quietly into his chambers that his sensors almost didn’t alert him of an intruder into his private quarters- almost. He turned his optics back on as he felt the rest of his systems begin to restart after being awoken prematurely from recharge, he was more curious than he was of anything when the tiny human sat on his chest looking extremely defeated and upset.

“What is troubling you?” He asked in a quiet tone while you let out a small sigh.

You didn’t want to sound ungrateful, you begged and begged for weeks to be allowed to have a sleepover in the base with all of your friends together- but the evening wasn’t turning out like you had wanted it to. You blamed everything on the fact that laundry wasn’t done at your house, if it was then maybe none of this would have happened!

You told him about how Miko and Jack were laughing and taking pictures of you while coooing at you like you were a baby, saying things about how cute you were and how this is the best thing to happen to them all night. It made you feel very insecure, on top of making you think that maybe you were insignificant in their eyes, a stupid child only there to take up space.

Before you got deeper into your emotions, as the threat of tears began to sting behind your eyes, you felt Optimus place one of his digits next to your face while in his baritone voice he said “They do not mean any harm in their teasing, little one, they are simply being too friendly while forgetting about your boundaries.”You sniffed a little.

“They will always be your friends, your family even, no need to be upset- they mean nothing by it.”

You smiled at that, as you knew he was right. Jack and Miko are much older than you are, so there is a little disconnect there, which means they can sometimes treat you poorly. They mean nothing by it- you love them and they love you.

“Thanks, Optimus.” You yawned as you found yourself drifting off to sleep on top of the warm metallic chest of the Prime.

Ratchet

He was busy messing around with a few personal experiments in his quarters, since you kids effectively kicked him out of the main room of the base. You didn’t kick him out in the literal sense, you kids were just so noisy that he couldn’t focus on all of his work the way he wanted to. He was against this sill, what was it, “sleep over” but you and Raf were so adamant about it how the heck were they supposed to say no to you?

He was so caught up in his work, he didn’t hear the door to his room open nor did he hear it close. It wasn’t until you called his name quietly that he was jolted out of his focus with such a violent reaction that it made you feel a little guilty for intruding into his space. He collected himself in a short few seconds, muttering the words “I needed that”, it would have made you smile if you weren’t feeling so bummed out.

“What could you possibly need now?” Ratchet asked a little miffed, until he turned around and looked at your saddening face.

He immediately regretted his harsh tone.

You took a deep breath and let the story fall from your mouth- the lost pjs and the panda onesie, the mocking and the pictures, the insecurities and the sadness. All of it was released in a fast, almost incoherent, story consisted of a little whining and a few tears. You felt awful, Jack and Miko had no right to say those things, you aren’t cute! You are just like they are- kids thrust into a world much bigger than they were.

Ratchet was able to keep up with your words, but it took him a second to think of what he wanted to say. Initially, he wanted to tell you to go bully them back and prove to them you aren’t a cute little baby- but that wouldn’t be a long term solution to your problems.

It also wasn’t the best advice he could give you, he knew that.

“Listen, kid” he began “Jack and Miko, well, they are just teasing you. They don’t mean anything by it.”

“Yeah, but it still hurts…” You said as you began to hug yourself a little.

“True, but you have something that they don’t have anymore- you know what that is?”

“No?”

“Me, now come help me- I could use a smaller set of hands for this.” He said as he lifted you up onto his work table. That wasn’t a complete lie, Ratchet thought, you were in here and they were out there. Hopefully this will help distract from those bad feelings you are experiencing.

Bumblebee

He had moved into his quarters after he began to feel to tired to keep his eyes open, on top of their not being enough room for him to recharge in the main room where all the kids were hanging out. He had a patrol earlier in the day, so he was feeling a little more tired than he usually was, and wanted to hit the berth a little earlier than the others wanted to. He was there for most of it- the movie marathon, the barrage of snacks and video games, and the toy car races that were more exciting than he thought they would be.

He was barely able to get his optics to go offline when he swore he heard little footsteps around his berth. He ignored it- it could just be his over worked processor trying to shut down for the night, but once he heard a soft voice call his name quietly it awoken him rather quicker than he thought it would.

At first he thought it might be Raf requesting to bunk down with him, but when he shifted to be on his side to face him it turned out to be you- adorning some very cute pjs. He didn’t say anything about it though, as he saw the sad and defeated look on your face- something was wrong he could tell.

He beeped quizzically at you- and thought you were not as versed in Bumblebee as Raf was, you can always get the jist of what he was saying or asking. You sighed as you sat cross legged in front of him as you explained what was going on after he left. Everyone changed into their pjs- and you were horrified to find out your family packed you the wrong pair- the dreaded panda onesie. You told him how humiliated you were when Miko started poking fun at you, which was followed by Jack talking to you like you were a baby. It felt so cruel and malicious, you slipped out as soon as you were sure they wouldn’t notice you gone.

You heard Bee give you a sad beep in response as you felt the tears threaten to spill from your eyes.

“I’m not a child! I mean I am- but I’m more mature than that! How can they be so cruel?” you bellowed as a few drops fell from the corners of your eyes.

Bumblebee took he hand and placed it gently on your back, as he let you cry softly next to him as you leaned into his touch. “Ugh! Me crying about it makes me seem even more like a stupid baby!” You yelped in frustration as you tried to stop your body from producing more tears.

But being frustrated and angry only made it worse.

Bee just let you cry, giving off comforting sounds trying to calm and comfort your frayed nerves. He figured it was better to let you have it out than for you to hold it in- it’s never good to keep in such strong emotions, it’s what causes unrest for yourself and your team mates.Once you let out a final sniff, and you wiped your eyes on your sleeves, you look up to see Bee still patiently looking at you.

He beeped a few times, which you could translate into “It’s more mature to let it out and display your emotions, than to bottle them up and let them eat at you”. You smiled at Bee and thanked him for listening, as you made yourself comfortable for the night right next to his warm metal frame. He was glad he could help- even if it was just to sit here and let you cry on his shoulder.
