The Knack
Chapter 2: It’s Not Stalking
Notes: its a Knockout-Centric Fic with a human OC. Breakdown is alive and well. Optimus is alive and well. Set in the Prime Universe: Post Predacons Rising, Pre-RID15
[Chapter 1 Here] [Chapter 3 here]
enjoy my scribbles ✌️
Two weeks later...
Though he’d loathe to admit it, Knockout had returned to that parking spot three times in the last two weeks. Not that he was counting. His excuse to himself was that it was a pleasant covert spot in the shade. The weather was pleasant in this area at this time of year and he deserved a break.
It was merely a coincidence that it was also the way the human artist walked.
He had only seen them once in his last three attempts. They had been walking with a femmine human and didn’t notice him. Not that it bothered him.
Today, it was exactly two weeks after their first meeting. Same time. Same place. Sure enough, they came walking down the hill. When they were about 20 meters away, they finally noticed him.
In Knockout’s rear view mirror, he saw them smile brightly. They didn’t run over exactly, but their posture straightened instantly. The human paused in their stride for a moment. “Hello again, pretty boy.” With nothing more than a flirty finger wave at the car, they continued down the street.
That was it? What a tease.
…
Against his better judgment, Knockout looked up the username the human had given him. He was very familiar with social media. He used it occasionally to find races and fellow car enthusiasts.
Their account was mostly art stuff. Some occasional rambling posts. Scattered memes.
He learned their name was Kylan and they were an art student at the local university. They liked drawing various cool things they found around town. There was a text post referencing a gorgeous red sports car that they forgot to take a photo of.
Attached to that post was a rough approximation of what he looked like. It wasn’t as good as the one they did live, but considering it was from memory- it wasn’t bad. The detailing on his doors was completely wrong.
He scoffed. The purple scribbles they had added made him look like an illegible death metal band logo. Much less elegant than his custom pattern.
“My decals do not look like that.” He commented indignantly.
“Knockout. Darling,” Breakdown’s voice came behind him followed by two large servos on his hips. “What’s got you so revved up? I could hear you from across the bay.”
He minimized the tab quickly. “Nothing!” He looked up at his Conjux. Even leaning down to accommodate his ample chest, Breakdown was still taller. “Just a personal project.”
“You know I support your car junkie addiction… you don’t have to hide it from me.”
“It’s not an addiction. I can stop whenever I choose to.” He huffed. Knockout placed a kiss on his chin. He traced his servos down to intertwine with his partner’s. “If you want to talk about addiction…” he moved both their hands up his torso. “I could go for another polishing soon.”
The larger mech moved closer to press against him. “Hm… That could be arranged. I just got-”
Knockout’s computer pinged. His screens popped back up with the social media interface to let him know he had a notification.
It was a direct message.
“ OMG! It’s you! I thought maybe the drawing got blown away with all the wind. I hope it made you smile! “
“‘Drawing?’” Breakdown read aloud.
Knockout sighed dramatically. “Can we go back to my seamless distraction?”
The Stunticon looked between the screen and his Conjux several times. “After you show it to me. Have you been sneaking off to be a secret art model?”
“Not yet. I am playing the long game.” He wriggled out of his partner's embrace to walk over to his storage crate. It was mostly full of polishes, buffers and other beauty supplies. He picked up a small glass case. Knockout revealed it to Breakdown with a flourish. “A human left that on my window. Evidently, they were so taken by my lustrous finish that they couldn’t help themself from stopping to admire me.”
Breakdown leaned down to look at the tiny image. He squinted.
“And, they know I’m… not a car.”
He raised a brow. “You showed them your root mode?”
“Of course not. They just… know? They thanked me for letting them draw me– not that I had much choice in the matter. They didn’t ask permission.” He huffed through his vents. “They just knew.”
“And… your solution… is to stalk them?”
“It’s not stalking!” Knockout huffed. “They gave me their username with the drawing. Clearly, they wanted this.”
Breakdown took a deep vent in and out.
“I can handle it.” He placed the image back in his crate. Spinning on his wheels, he turned back to him. He reached up to pull him down to eye level.
“Be careful. For their sake, and yours.” Breakdown brought Knockout’s hand up to his eye patch. The hard gray metal contrasted his orange protoflesh. It was a stark reminder for both of them of past mistakes.
“I will, BD.” He smiled at his partner. “Trust me. This isn’t some Hollywood blockbuster. Nothing drastic is going to happen.”
…
After they started messaging online, Knockout was easily able to trace their IP address to know where they lived but he had never actually driven by their house.
Today was the day he finally got curious enough to look. Kylan lived in an old town house. It was white with brown shutters and looked like a scrap heap.He wasn’t exactly sure what he expected to find but there was no obvious sign of the human. It’s not like he could go up to ring the doorbell to ask for them.
The Aston Martin parked across the street and settled down. He must’ve slipped into power down mode because when he woke up, it was dark out.
There was another slip of paper on his dashboard. He smiled to himself.
Glancing up, he saw the lights on in the second story of the human’s house. Zooming in, he could see Kylan sitting at their desk drawing. They had headphones on, wiggling back and forth to whatever they were listening to.
Knockout never really understood human’s relationship with music. Of course, they were good at it. There were plenty of songs he liked the sounds of. It seemed to affect their species more. He could ask their resident radio wiz about it, but he didn’t want to give Bumblebee that satisfaction.
With that, he pulled out of his spot. He headed to his favorite hiding spot and slid under the gas station canopy.
Knockout pulled the slip of paper out of his plating. This time, it was in a yellow-ish envelope. The artist was upping their game. How fancy, he purred to himself as he pulled out the piece of paper inside.
His optics narrowed at the tiny image.
“A parking ticket!?”
…
Over the next month, Knockout learned that they came home at approximately the same time every Thursday. This wasn’t always because he was there. Their posts had consistency at that time as well.
The Autobots kept him busy with various tasks around their new base. Ratchet always needed an extra hand, even if he didn’t want one. Arcee was still tense around the former-Decepticon but things were easing up. She had gone from openly hostile to occasional glaring. Agent Fowler was a similar story. Whenever the other two sports cars returned from Cybertron, they’d burn rubber until someone sprained something. Then, they’d get another lecture from Ratchet.
Overall, life after the war was pleasant, though strange. There wasn’t anyone threatening him every other minute of the day. He was allowed to just be.
Integrating Breakdown into the team was more of a to-do. Bulkhead and Wheeljack were not keen on the idea. But, with time and conversation, they came to a mutual understanding.
The ex-Decepticons got their own remote warehouse. Originally, they had been staying with all the Autobots, but that lasted about 2 weeks before someone put in a noise complaint. Their little home away from home gave them some much needed space from the other bots. It was dinghy but it was theirs.
Knockout leaned against a crate as he stared at the blankest wall of their space. It was gray metal, like the landscapes of Cybertron. It was distinctly not light the bright colors of the planet he currently resided on. Over time, he had become quite attached to the rainbow of hues that made up Earth’s environment.
“Breakdown,” He called to his conjux, “I think it’s about time we got some color in here.”

On Transformers and Human soulmate tropes...
(i do personally attack starscream at the end, i'm sorry starscream lovers, i love him too, but he's just a sad, devious little guy.)
Just a little thought here, so, I love soulmate tropes. Depending on the plot, they can be really fun and take so many interesting paths as a medium used within storytelling, whether romantic or platonic.
But what i want to talk about specifically is Transformer x Human soulmate tropes. Like, you have this super sweet side to it where the bot can be like 'I have waited my entire life to find you, finally, I can hold you in my arms and we never have to part again'. Depending on the character/story/type of SM (soulmate, shortening it because I'm not gonna keep writing it out) trope of course.
Can I just say how...instrumentally fucked this is though? So you have this race of robots who live for, what is essentially millennia out in the wild unless they catch the smoke. Their soulmate ends up being this little creature that lives for 80, maybe 100 years tops before dying. -Unless we're going for some kind of mind switch body type thing, but we all know how that went with spike in g1.
Our beloved robo blorbos will eventually have to cope with the fact that their soulmate, the person or creature they're MEANT to be with via laws of the universe, will die a LOT sooner than they will.
This especially hits hard with the decepticons who, depending on continuity -- hate humanity already. Bots who've gone through so much, losing their home, friends, and their dignities; have to learn to put up with and accept this creature as their fated mate/spouse/conjux endura, whatever you want to call it- SOULMATE.
Then the decepticons just have to deal with the fact that they're going to lose this person too, just like they've already lost everything else and oh GOD. Maybe they choose to forget about them and move on, stay alone and mourn what could have been if the universe hadn't had such a fucked sense of humor. Maybe they choose to accept it, but never let their SM too close because they know they'll just be hurt so much more hurt when the inevitable comes.
Then you have to think about decepticons having to possibly protect their SM from other cons! From being taken and 'saved' by the autobots.
Imagine some bots or cons just flying off the handle, going crazy just to try and keep their human alive in any way they possibly can, afraid of running out of time.
(Starscream lovers forgive me for the angst)
And Starscream especially, Maybe he'd try. He'd have a great time, take a chance, and give it a go. But what if he's actually terrified? Maybe he'd also self sabotage a little, knowing the relationship will never last too long anyways; not in the short blink of time it would be next to his life. Maybe, he doesn't actually know what to do with himself in a positive relationship after being, i dunno, consistently dogged on by megatron and he freezes.
There's something actually good for him, and since he isn't sure how to receive or accept that fact, he's gone. And maybe he'll come back, but the cycle could repeat.
(Im sorry, unless you put a tracker on him and call his ass and really give him some therapy. get him some god damn therapy.)
But yeah. All around, the angst potential is immense for this stuff and it makes me sad to think about so I thought i would share it instead of just write about it in an actual fic because my character analysis and ability to comprehend my own thoughts is so shit.
Okay, CIAOOOOOO~

King and Queen of the Skies
Warnings: None!
Word Count: 700 +
On a barren, rocky cliffside, Juniper stood tall in her techno-organic mode, her pink and gold armor shimmering bright below the sunlight. She spread her feet apart, her wings twitching with trepidation. A bead of sweat trickled down her face, her blue, energon-infused eyes fixating on the solid ground below her. It was a long fall. One mistake could very well end in death.
Could she take a chance?
As the wind whipped against her red hair, Starscream lingered next to her, towering over her with a scowl on his faceplate. He tapped his claws against himself, signifying that his patience was thinning.
“Well, are you going to keep us waiting all day? Try again.”
Juniper frowned a little, but she nodded and did as she was told. While flexing her wings, the woman dove from the cliff’s edge. The wind howled in her ears and grazed her visor. The feeling of weightlessness overwhelmed her, turning her insides numb with fear. The ground approached far too quickly, just like last time. Before she could even protest, Juniper caught herself too soon. She broke her form with a defeated groan, flailing her limbs as she readjusted her flight path. Sulking, she fluttered back towards the cliffside where Starscream waited with his arms crossed over his silver chest.
“Fine.” He frowned, venting with another sigh and twitching his wings. “Allow me to demonstrate once more.”
With that, the mech created some distance between her for safety. And then, with a dramatic flair, he engaged in a freefall. Juniper watched in awe as he fell in a perfect swan dive, outstretching his claws and wings before transforming into a jet at the last moment and twirling into the air. For several moments, he soared, truly aiming to impress the lady as she chuckled at his display. With him, there was no fear, and there was no hesitation, at least whenever it came to flying. Starscream cherished the activity more than anything.
Once he returned to her side, transforming into robot mode with his pedes planted firmly on the cliff, he nodded at her.
“You see? Now, do it right this time.”
Once more, Juniper pouted, anxiety overtaking her as she twiddled with her fingers.
“Stop doing that.”
“Doing what?”
‘Playing with your digits!”
With a burst of emotion, Juniper stomped her heel.
“Well, I can’t help it! I’m scared.”
Starscream scoffed like he found her outburst to be ludicrous.
“I've witnessed you fight an army of terrorcon predacons, how does this scare you?”
Juniper’s wings drooped, a blush forming across her pale face.
“I don’t want…to disappoint you.”
All at once, it seemed as though everything came to a halt, even the wind itself. The mech paused, turning silent for a moment as the woman averted her gaze from him to look at the ground far below her. The blush across her face glowed, spreading to the tips of her ears. She closed her eyes, hoping to hide herself away from the embarrassment.
And then, she felt a tap of a sharp digit on her shoulder, causing her to glance upwards. Starscream was lowered slightly, his gaze soft and his crimson optics bright.
“Why don’t…I do it with you this time?” He smiled at her. “I won’t let you hit the ground. I promise.”
Juniper couldn’t help but smirk, her chest thrumming with the warmth of her hybrid spark.
“Alright.”
With his aid, she then formed her body into the correct position. He was right by her side, never wavering even once.
“Ready?”
Juniper nodded.
“Ready!”
Together, they dove, side by side as the air whooshed around them. Starscream’s engines whined as Juniper’s wings tilted, diving as one. She felt his optics on her, and although she was tempted to meet his gaze, she instead focused on the ground ahead of her.
“Trust your spark, Juniper! I have faith in you!”
With her arms stretched and heels close, she waited until finally hearing the familiar sound of clicks and whirrs. Starscream transformed, and once he did, she activated her thrusters and soared upwards into the sky along with him.
She cheered, kicking her feet and flicking her wings.
“Starscream, I did it!”
The mech chortled.
“Yes! You did! That’s my Little Mouse!”
The two laughed, dancing in the sky as though they owned the entire expanse. In a way, they did.
In the clouds, there was no one else. it was their safe space, their domain, and it was only them, the king and queen of the skies.

Batstarion A!Astarion + S!Astarion Headcanons
Pairing: A!Astarion/S!Astarion x GN!Reader/Tav/Durge
This one took a while to write up, but I did learn some interesting facts about vampire bats and tried to apply them here.
**Spawn Astarion**
After the defeat of Cazador, Astarion soon discovered a book within the palace, which contained the skills of vampire spawns that his master never wanted him to know about.
One of these skills was to turn into a creature of the night, this quickly intrigued Astarion, causing him to try and master the spell. He even tries practising wild shape methods taught to him by Halsin.
This takes a while for him to master, night after night spent trying to improve his skills with no transformation in sight. One night, nearly at his wits end with trying to master it, you speak,
“Maybe it’s a phrase you have to shout, try yelling bat, maybe that would work?”
“Darling, I don’t think it’s going to be as simple as saying the word bat-”.
Suddenly, who was once standing in place of Astarion, now lay a small white ball of fluff with wings.
You are greeted by happy chirps and squeaks, quickly turning into a chorus of angry squeaks. One drink of speak to animals potion unravels what he is saying.
“I can’t turn back, darling do something, I don’t want to be stuck looking like a rat!” he huffed.
“Try and relax, it might wear off?”
“How can I relax like this, I don’t even have arms!”
Softly touching the white curly on his head, with the lightest tip of your finger, the pale bat relaxes instantly within the palm of your hand, almost purring at your touch.
Suddenly, the weight shifted from your hands, causing you to drop the bat onto the ground, only for Astarion to shift back into his humanoid form.
Checking to see if he’s fine, you are greeted by light snoring coming from him, seemingly collapsed from exhaustion, the transformation takes on him. Over time, he learns how to master turning into a bat with ease, allowing him to require shorter rests after turning back.
Of course, with him being at such a small size, it makes travelling together simple from keeping him under a robe to shade him from the sun and his light weight. When shopping at local markets, he’ll take advantage of merchants fawning over how cute he is, giving you discounts on your produce, without being aware that he’s a blood-sucking vampire spawn under that white fluff.
“I do wish they gave us something more savoury and juicy for free” grumbling to himself.
“And miss out on all the other goods we get?”
“Hmmm…fair enough, but don’t be surprised if ask for extra tonight” responding with a smirk.
He would adore all the attention you give him in this form, from soft pets on his head to just relaxing with you at such a small size. At Wither’s reunion party, he would show it off to others about it any chance he gets, as his special party trick, beaming the whole way through. Although he would have to deal with the hangover afterwards from shifting constantly the next morning.
Additionally, if you can fly, whether that is by being a druid who can wild shape, to a draconic sorcerer who has gained their wings, you both have fun flying around together at night.
**Ascended Astarion**
For A!Astarion, transforming into a bat is as easy as a wizard casting a cantrip, simple and quick with no downsides.
A!Astarion wouldn’t be one to showcase his ability to shift into a bat at his grand masquerade parties, mainly for fear of being seen as a weak simple creature. Although he would use it to stealthily eves drop on others from the cover of the shadows.
After he’s fed you enough of his blood, if you are his spawn, he’ll teach you how to turn into a bat. In your bat form, he’ll fuss over you more, being more protective of you in this form, as if your body is a prized porcelain vase. Some of the servants just presume you're another bat he’s caring for out of the thousands in the palace.
Carrying you around in his shirt pocket to always gaze at you, whether he’s signing contracts to talking with nobles from other cities, he would be their watching over you, closer to his undead heart than ever before.
Eventually, after a while, he would teach you how to fully fly and would only allow you to fly out at night, only if he was there to keep watch over you. Whilst transformed into your bat forms, he would develop the habits of bats from trying to constantly groom your coat, by cleaning each other’s fur, despite your protests at times and sharing food with you by regurgitating blood as a gift to you.
Compared to the rare moments he is the one in bat form, he would only allow you to pet him, usually in private away from prying eyes, insisting that he has a reputation to uphold.
“Pet, I am all for you adoring me, but we mustn't tell others of this, I have an image to uphold after all”.
He would also experiment with applying some elements of his bat form to his humanoid form, such as shifting his arms to be bat wings, usually as an intimidation tactic, or to show off during his extravagant ball dance parties with you, by lifting you into the air with him.
When you carry him around in his bat form, he would try to nip you more often, unprompted over any small inconvenience.
Not paying full attention to him? Bite,
Talking to someone other than him? Bite,
Just bored with nothing else to do? Bite.
But if you attempt the same thing to him when you're in bat form? He would laugh, calling you a “Cheeky little pup”.
However, if you keep trying to nip him, he will eventually gently order you to stop and ensure he’ll get his payback later in the day, still being petty about it.

Small things about the three odd role-model Cybertronian families: about S•E•X (nsfw)
(Cooked something for my fic Old World, New World)
Megop:
They are no longer young. But they have the most passionate sex and kinkiest kinks of Cybertron. They’re famous for that. They’re not proud of that. Don’t believe everything they said. Since they are grown, mature bots, they know how to maintain the boundaries and keep their personal life to themselves. But they’re not 100% careful. Once Skystrophe took their cum-machine toy from their nightstand. He went out to show it off to his friends. Optimus failed to persuade the stubborn kid to put it down. Instead, the rebellious child shot his carrier when he came back from a poetry salon, right on the spark chamber. The shocked look on the big former decepticon leader was priceless, not to mention the blue, sticky liquid that’s flowing down his chest in front of everybot’s prying look. It was not artificial. It was Optimus’s prankish saves. After that, Optimus decided to give Skystrophe his first sex education class ahead of time.
Blitzbee:
They’re not so old. Both of them have a passion fresher than the morning drew, and ignited faster than the speed of light. They’re not an old-fashioned couple. Jinglestorm learned about “sire and carrier making love to each other to make their love grow stronger” at an early age. Luckily the child has a big heart. Of course they don’t do it in front of the kid. But there were a few close times. Because they’re just too into odd places and inappropriate times. Their best record is during a family get-together, when they invited Lugnut and Strika, Optimus and Megatron over for dinner, and poor Lugnut ended up witnessing his best bud being humped by his small autobot buddy at the kitchen sink. According to Lugnut, he had to have his optics washed three times to get the picture off his memories.
Striklug:
They’re the real role-model couple. Met during war and fought together as battles mates. Their relationship is strong and stable, just like their regular sex life. They give Clobber regular sex education, at the proper age and with careful plans. She’s ok with that, because she’s not that interested in this either. However, that doesn’t mean this couple has ever lost their sparks. They’re the living examples of noisy couples, as they are basically two big piles of heavy metals, and both enjoy sparring a little before the main play. Strika is, according to Lugnut, “the best of best, queen of queens” in bed. She almost always lead, and he almost always follow. He never complains. That’s the bot he loves.

More Than Meets the Eye
Ch.2: RedStar Rising Pt.1
TFA Optimus X F!Reader
5k
Summary: Being a rising journalist is difficult. Especially when you have to live a secret criminal life. Things get worst when you start to fall in love with your enemy, Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and hero of Detroit City.
You believe the feelings can't be mutual. Yet, he slowly starts to notice that you are more than meets the eye.
A/N: Lots of yearning. Jealously. Enemies to lovers?? You are a journalist who is also a criminal. Idk. Takes place between Season 1 and 2 of TFA.
Chapter 2 : RedStar Rising Pt. 1
...
Cleaning up the city was not on the Autobots’ favorite thing to do-list. But as they continued to destroy things, there wasn’t much they could do. As Earth’s stemmed guests, and to keep a good Cybertronian-Human diplomacy, they had to do things they weren’t fond of.
“Come on guys! We can’t slow down!”
They started working in the morning. Non-stop. The sun is starting to die down and the stars are rising. They didn’t have an Energon break. Prime was way too focused on cleaning everything to perfection to even care about his programing demanding fuel.
“But Boss-Bot, we have been cleaning up piles of junk for hours! We need a break!”
Bumblebee was the first one to complain, but it’s all it took for the rest to follow along.
“I would certainly need some oil after this,” Ratchet says as Bulkhead smiles at the thought. He too would be delighted to drink some good quality oil.
“No, we need to finish this first. By tonight.”
Optimus insisted, his voice not like his usual self.
“Optimus, the mind and body needs to be properly rested to continue functioning,” Prowl steps forwards, talking directly to Prime who wasn’t acting like his usual self. “Unless, there is a certain urgency or reason behind why you want to finish this up so quickly?”
Yes, he had other reasons. But that doesn’t mean he is ready to tell them. It was hard to express. He can’t tell them that he wants to cause as little disruption as possible to the humans. More specially to a woman he met not so long ago. Now that he has a broader perspective on things he understands how every single doing has an impact on the city. Tragically, you were right. Earth was a safer place before they arrived.
But he can’t tell them that. He can’t tell them that the reason behind his desperate need to repair what is broken is to help … even if that help is significantly small.
“You guys are right, but you all go ahead. I’ll stay and finish this up.”
The Autobots look at each other. With wondering and confused faceplates.
“Are you sure?”
“Definitely.”
Without much objection the Autobots transformed into their vehicle form.
“See you at the base then.”
They roll out, leaving Optimus to finish things up.
He looks around. What used to be a hospital building, a place that was made to heal, was turned into debris. They were lucky that they were able to evacuate the humans that resided inside. But after that, not once, he wondered what happened to them. Were they alright? Were they able to continue their healing process? Were they still … alive?
Up until now, he had paid no attention to that matter. His spark feels ashamed as he remembers his past.
Ultra Magnus was right … He was no hero.
Optimus keeps working. Moving big rocks, wires and dust. It was getting late. The night had fallen and the stars decorated the dark sky. He thought of going home, recharging and then coming back early in the morning. But as he was moving the last debris of the night, he found something shining underneath it. A small fragment of the AllSpark.
He holds it on his servo and before he could call it a night, he feels something impact him from the back.
Optimus falls to the ground, the fragment escapes from his servo, rolling away from him. Turning slowly, his optics focused on a tall purple figure.
“Slipstream."
Optimus' voice is weak, the strike behind his back still affecting him.
The femme bot walks past Optimus, making her way to the fragment. Slowly, picking it up, a proud smile decorated her faceplace. Her snarky pose infuriated the Prime but he was too hurt to do something about it.
“Well, I’ll be taking this.”
Quickly transforming into her jet form, she flies to the sky while Optimus curses for not being able to keep up with her.
“Looks like you are not good with lady bots either.”
It’s a full moon. But all he could see was strings of short red hair. Black suit with a white mask and red lipstick that could be as bright as the sun. The figure uses a line-launcher, sending a rope and attaching it to the forehead of the bot who was still laying on the group. Ziplining her way, fearlessly, she ends up right in front of Optimus optics.
“Thankfully, for you, I could teach better manners.”
A villain or a hero? Optimus couldn’t tell but he had his suspicions. He has the suspicious lady right in front of him. He watches as she elegantly steps in the ground, bringing back her line launcher to her belt. Finally allowing him to stand up straight.
“And you are?”
Optimus asks, this was not the best time to be bothered but the woman’s appearance caught his interest.
“That’s not of importance. I know you and that’s all that matters.”
She speaks in a seductive voice. Her confidence was admirable, being able to stand in front of a giant robot whose intention is unknown was something to be applauded for.
“And how do you know me?”
Without notice, the mysterious figure uses her line-launcher again, this time pointing at Optimus’ shoulder. Quickly, she moves through the wind and closes the massive height difference. She takes a seat on Optimus’ shoulder, his face-plate quite close.
“I read about you in the newspaper. Besides, where else would I find such a tall, handsome mech?”
Even when he was aware of his aesthetically pleasing appearance, he still wasn’t used to compliments. In Cybertron, saying such things to other Autobots was not fit in society. On Earth, it was a different story. It was a sign of interest, of courting. And he didn’t know how to feel about that.
“What do you want?”
“I think we can help each other,” she says, enjoying the fact that she made the Leader of the Autobots blush. “Slipstream and I have unfinished business. But I am kinda small and can’t fight her myself. You help me take her down and I can tell you where she is.”
“What if you just tell me where she is and I do the rest?” Optimus still doesn’t dare to look at her. Instead he focuses on her warm body on his shoulder and her voice near his audio receptors. “No offense but I don’t enjoy putting humans in danger. Much less involve them in Autobot and Decepticon affairs.”
“Don’t you think it’s a little bit too late for that?”
She looks to the side and Optimus follow’s her eyes. The hospital building was destroyed and still a proof of the irreversible damage the Autobots have caused. Simply because they couldn’t keep their ‘affairs’ within Cybertron.
“Besides, I am no regular human. I can take care of myself,” she says. “I just need a ride and you need directions.”
Optimus keeps looking at the building. He can rebuild it many times but how many will it be torn down again? How many others would be injured because of his actions? If he accepts, then he might endanger another human life. But if he lets Slipstream have the fragment of the AllSpark, he would be endangering many more.
“Where to?”
.
.
.
The roads are quiet, especially when there is no path to follow. Just trees and a few hills to go around. This time, Optimus has decided to take more into consideration a person’s safety. This time including a seat belt for the passenger and driver seats. Even when his guest didn’t seem interested in them.
“You can go faster if you would like,” she puts her legs on his board. Now he notices her heels, pointy. “I want to get there soon.”
“I would feel more comfortable speeding if you put on the seatbelt.”
Optimus takes a moment to inspect the lady who sits comfortably on his passenger seat. She wore a short black dress made of a fabric that looks shiny but durable. Adjusting to her body, enhancing her curves but also flexible and easy to move around. She also wore black gloves with the palms being red just like the bottom of her heels.
“Oh, it's the Leader of the Autobots concerned about my safety?” She puts her hand on his shift gear. “I am flattered.”
It wasn’t an unpleasant feeling but he would rather feel the flesh and warmth of human skin and not the coldness of gloves. It’s not like he was craving contact but he wouldn’t mind either. Especially when she was being so gentle about it.
“Not so long ago, I had a not so pleasant experience with a human who got hurt while she was inside my vehicle mode,” he says. “I just don’t want a repeat.”
“How considerate of you,” she has a certain curiosity. She touches him in a peculiar way, as if she was afraid to hurt him. “Are you like this with everyone or just people you like?”
“Does it make a difference?”
“More than you think, bot-boy.”
He can’t believe he is getting nervous.
“Just tell me what you know.”
The mysterious woman smiles as she stops with the touching. Leaving him wanting for more.
“Slipstream has secretly been building copies of herself with an abandoned government laboratory. All she needs is a fragment of the AllSpark to turn her plans into reality.”
“And how do you know this stuff?”
“That’s my job, I just know things. You just have to trust me.”
There is a beeping sound coming from her GPS device. Signalling to them that their desired location was nearby. If they weren’t on a mission, this place could be a nice hangout place. Optimus likes the city but he also enjoys the pretty views of nature.
“Well, I can’t be very trusting if all you say is vague responses, lady.”
“Alright then, what if we drop formalities?” she takes her feet off the board, excitement in her voice. “I’ll call you Optimus. Calling you by your first name should build a stronger sense of trust.”
“And what should I call you, then?”
“If we make it out of this alive, I’ll tell you,” she makes a little pause and then puts a string of her hair back in her ear. “A little something to keep you motivated. Unless you want me to give you something else?”
“What else could I want from an organic?”
“Well, a little affection wouldn’t hurt you,” as if she was reading his mind, she takes one of her gloves off and slowly passes her fingertips through his board, brushing a few buttons on the way. “When was the last time someone caressed your chassis?”
“That’s not a topic to be discussed with a lady!”
His headlights start blinking, his processor stops functioning for a second.
“You are so fun to tease, you must be really popular with the femme bots … and ladies alike.”
She whispers way too close to his window, the warmth of her breath against the coldness of his window made him feel … uncertain.
“Just concentrate on the mission at servos.”
.
.
.
The cave was well hidden. It would have been impossible to find if you didn’t have a localizer.
Optimus takes a look at the lady in front of him, who blended perfectly with the night. Only the moonlight and the stars illuminated the area.
“Would it be too late to ask you to stay here and let me handle things?”
Optimus asks once again.
“The fact that you are even insinuating such a thing is an insult to my persona.”
Optimus ex-vents and looks inside the cave. It’s dark but from here he can hear the steps of Slipstream.
“You handle Slipstream and I’ll get the AllSpark fragment. Sounds good enough for you?”
She takes out a large metal stick and moves it skillfully. Her eyes land on him, waiting for an answer.
“Let’s do this.”
The element of surprise was their best option as Optimus uses his integrated ion blaster to shoot anything that didn’t look Autobot friendly. Starting with the many duplicates of Slipstream in many capsules. The femme copy of Starscream was not expecting this but she wasn’t going to let him demolish everything she worked for so easily.
“If you are destroying this place, I’ll take you down with it!”
Slipstream clicks a few keys on her massive computer, on the screen, a timer appears.
One minute until detonation.
But it was just not that. It had become too late and the Slipstream copies had become alive.
You were nowhere to be seen but the fragment of the AllSpark was right in the middle of the base. Encapsulated in a crystal case.
Using his ax, Optimus looks around only to find himself surrounded by copies and not a single trance of you.
Had you left him behind?
As one of the copies points her integrated laser gun at Optimus, he knew he won’t be able to cover himself from the attack. He just hoped that it wouldn't be strong enough to take him down.
But as the projectile was about to impact his face plate, he saw a tiny human protecting him. Directing the bullet to the crystal box the AllSpark fragment resided in, shattering into pieces and free to grasp.
“That is as much force as my energy pole will be able to take!” the woman takes out a gun. It didn’t look human-made but as she shot, the damage of the bullet made the same impact as a Cybertronian weapon would. “Get the fragment, I’ll cover you!”
He didn’t hesitate and felt strange at the thought of feeling safe with a human. Regardless, he quickly stretched out a servo while he used his axed to protect any other incoming projectiles.
30 seconds.
“A good leader knows when to retreat.”
Slipstream transforms into her jet mode, flying out of the cave with a stream of chemtrails following behind her. It was hard to see now. Projectiles were coming from all directions as the other bot copies kept shooting their ion cannons.
Optimus gets a hold of the AllSpark fragment. And as soon as he does he transforms into his vehicle mode. Moving in a way where she ended inside on the passenger seat, he adjust the seat belt for her and starts driving.
10 seconds.
But another projectile was following them. Without taking into consideration Optimus' wishes, the woman in black decides to take off the seatbelt and come out of the window. Climbing on top of him.
“Are you crazy? Get inside!”
She takes out her energy pole and using all of her strength, she swings it. All the kinetic energy that had been stored from the previous attack has been released by impacting it by the incoming projectile. Not only destroying it but also giving them the impulse that they needed to get out of the cave just in time.
.
.
.
“Did you see the Slipstream face?! She leaked her exhaust pipe for sure!”
Optimus moves freely as he was excited that this mission went so smoothly.
“You weren’t too far behind, you looked so worried the moment I didn’t show up.”
The sun is starting to rise.
After the mission, she insisted on going sightseeing. She knew a spot. An abandoned handing bridge. It wasn’t big compared to the other populated ones but it was peaceful. With pine trees on the side and a small river passing under. The sunrise in front of them.
Optimus had to mass-displace. Not because the bridge was unsteady or small but because he felt the need to feel a bit closer to her and see the world as she does.
They sit on the edge of the bridge, their feet hanging as they look into the horizon.
Both looking at the vastness of the sky, she decides to break the silence.
“Do you ever miss your home?”
“Yes, all the time. But I know I am doing a greater good for Cybertron if I stay here,” Optimus doesn’t look at her but instead looks at the beautiful scenery in front of him. It was peaceful, something he wanted to protect.
“The Decepticons are out there planning something. Cybertron and Earth will not be safe if we don't stop them.”
“Would you leave Earth, once that’s done?”
“Well, if there’s nothing left to do here and its people are safe, then yes,” Optimus feels the wind on his faceplate. It’s cold but he doesn’t mind. But he unconsciously gets closer to the lady, shielding her from the winds, just in case it was too cold for her. “Don’t tell me you’ll miss me?”
“We only met a few hours ago, do not flatter yourself.”
“You have to admit, I think you and I make a good partnership,” Optimus says. “I wouldn’t mind adding an extra member to the team.”
“Sorry, but I do things solo most of the time,” she lets out a heavy sigh, alamo enamored of the view. “Besides I have other things I want to do.”
“What other things, lady?”
She seems hesitant as she takes a few seconds to respond to the question. She took so long to respond that Optimus thought she might not answer. Feeling awkward, he was about to change subject until she spoke again.
“I want to become a writer. Someone who tells the truth,” she says and Optimus finally dares to look at her. He has never been one to find organics to be aesthetically pleasing to look at. However, he has seen humans as squishy and soft looking. He didn’t think of the females to be as winsome as femme bots.
But right now, her eyes shine with the sunlight. And for a moment, Optimus believed he could see the entire universe in her eyes.
“But to do that, I have to do something first.”
She looks at him, breaking his trance and making a look away.
“Is there any way I can help?”
She stands up and Optimus immediately hopes she won’t leave him. He had enjoyed their time together and he wasn’t ready to say goodbye yet.
Instead, she stands in front of him. Even after had mass-shifted, he was still 10 feet tall. But he was sitting and this allowed him to see her face to faceplate. She is getting close and she reaches out a hand. Touching his cold frame, moving her fingers through his faceplate, expecting it. Looking directly at his optics, he didn’t mind. Not one bit.
“Maybe you can … But in a different way.”
Her face gets closer and closer. Her lips touch his faceplate, leaving trails of red lipstick. Optimus was surprised he is letting her have her way. Shouldn’t he feel repulsed? Shouldn’t he have pushed her away? Maybe he has been on Earth too long and has missed the warmth of a partner.
This wasn’t right. He couldn’t allow himself to indulge with someone he barely knows. But Primus, he was enjoying it too much. Her warmth was a special one. Not even the fragment of the AllSpark on his servo could compare. It was just a speck of heat compared to the touch of your bare lips.
How much he craved for her to just finish his torment and allow him to taste them.
And as he looks at her, wishing for more, he closes his Optics. Allowing her to do with him as she wished. He just needs a single kiss–
He can’t move.
“My theories were right,” you say as you give him a small pat on his faceplate. “Men and male bots are so easy to use.”
Optimus tries to move but is unable. Feeling rather dizzy and sleepy.
“The pheromones on my lipstick can make any living being enter a state of paralysis,” she walks in front of him, effortlessly moving on the edge of the bridge, with agility that made Optimus know that she trained a lot to be able to make moves like that without being afraid. “With some side effects of sleepiness but don’t worry it only lasts a couple of hours.”
“I must thank you. I didn’t expect it to work on Autobots so you were a great test object. But due to your height, I had to use more product,” she makes her way next to him. Grabbing his restarlueus and her hands make her way to his servo. He is helpless against her touch as much as he tries to fight it, he can’t move.
“Good thing I had built an immune system against it. Otherwise I would also be falling asleep as of right now.”
She opens his right servo, revealing the AllSpark fragment.
“You were absolutely amazing. I’ll be taking this,” she says “And thank you for the help.”
The lady starts to walk away as Optimus’ optics start to slowly close. He can’t believe he had fallen for this. His confusion starts to become anger and betrayal. Two things that should never be mixed together.
“Oh, I almost forgot,” she turns to look at him. A devilish smile decorates her face. Now all Optimus wants to do is erase her memories. “A deal is a deal.”
“RedStar.”
She says and that’s all Optimus could remember before falling on his back and drifting on a deep sleep.
.
.
.
There was so much shame on Optimus’ shoulder to even mention what happened to the Autobots.
But of course, he had to explain in some way or another why he had arrived home until the next day.
He didn’t mention certain details. Just the basics. And everyone else deemed the night as a simple ‘Boss-Bot Shenanigans.’ Meeting Slipstream, meeting a mysterious lady, teaming up with lady to defeat Slipstream, winning, lady turning out to be a bad person who just used him for her own benefits, lady taking the AllSpark fragment, Optimus paralyzed. The end.
And Optimus was more than happy to accept his mistake, learn from it and never do it again.
However, the shame was still present. It was his fault after all. Supid enough to believe that he could ever …
“Do you agree, Prime?”
Captain Carmine Fanzone had invited the Autobots to the police station to request for their help. He had called a meeting in which all the Autobots had provided their undivided attention. All except for Optimus who was too deep in thoughts. He thought he could ask for details later. It’s not like he can’t say no when humans ask for aid, that's the reason why they are here after all.
“Yes,” he simply says but that answer didn’t seem too convincing for the Head of Detroit’s Police Department.
They couldn’t go inside as the place was too small for them. However, they prepared a table for them outside the station. With donuts, and oil. The table was small and they couldn’t eat the donuts but it's not like they were expecting to get a 32 feet tall table just for them. But the warm oil was a nice touch.
“Well then, just to recap … The American Government has warned us that an anti-robot terrorist group called S.T.E.A.M. plans to launch different attacks on Detroit city to protest against Sumdac’s creations taking over the city,” Fanzone had a white board, explaining the situation. “But we have someone who has an insider on S.T.E.A.M. and they are willing to release information about the location of the attacks.”
“So, you want us to escort this person to meet with the insider?”
Ratchet asks who, although he usually is the one to careless about humans, he knows when something is important and deserves his attention.
“Yes but to also be ready to dismantle any attacks that might endanger the city.”
“Won’t it be easier for the insider to just tell us the information and we can just go and take down the bombs in the city or whatever?” Bumblebee raises a servo as he looks down at Fanzone. He didn’t have a particular thought about the Captain. He wasn’t good or bad in his opinion. But the fact that he had reached out for help when he wasn’t found by ‘machines’ spoke volumes of the seriousness of the situation.
“No, they are only willing to talk in person and with the individual they have been exchanging information with,” he points at the board to a picture of a faceless person. “If any police officer goes or is seen, the deal will be off and we will be risking millions of lives.”
He moves his marker to a drawing. A very comical depiction of the police and money. “Whoever decides to escort this person, they also need to keep in mind that you will be escorting 5 Million Dollars. It’s all part of the deal.”
Everyone looks at Optimus who seemed deep in thought. He doesn’t have the luxury of time to think things through but he thought of the many possibilities. Of what could go wrong and how each team member would handle things in case he can’t communicate.
“I’ll go,” the Prime finally speaks up. “Bumblee, we will need your speed in case there are multiple bombs to deactivate. Ratchet stays alert in case anyone gets hurt. Prowl, you’ll stay in base to be our main source of communication in case my Comm-Link gets intercepted. Bulkhead, protect Sari and any human who might need assistance. Things might get really bad.”
“Loud and clear Boss-Bot,” Bumblebee salutes as everyone agrees with his plan.
“Who’s the person who I have to escort?”
He looks at Fanzone who looks at the entrance of the police station. At the perfect timing, you come out of the doors. Quickly looking around the area, only for your eyes to land on the Autobots and one in particular you did not like.
“...You have to be kidding me.”
Optimus says to himself but it was loud enough for his teammates to hear.
“Nop,” you say as you walk towards Fanzone. “Not happening.”
“Ms. (Y/N), we talked about this,” he says. “A police officer can’t go with you, we don’t know what kind of security measures will be taken. If they find out, we’ll be risking the whole city. And you can’t go alone either. What if something happens to you? An Autobot is the perfect cover and protection.”
“Protection? He almost killed me last time we did illegal c–”
You stop talking. Knowing that probably it wasn’t a good idea to tell a police officer about doing illegal car racing with a robot alien.
“Make out!”
Optimus quickly intercepted, as he also didn’t want Fanzone to know you two did illegal car racing. He didn’t want to give him another reason to dislike the Autobots.
“We illegally make-out!”
You look at Fanzone at the horrified look on his face. Then there was confusion and then a combination of the two.
“It’s not what you think!”
Trying to save your reputation, you stand in front of him. But it was futile, in his mind, you had already done other things with the Autobot Leader.
“I would never do such things with him!”
You point at Optimus who although didn’t know why you were so hectic, he enjoyed your display of distress.
“Excuse me? You were touching me all night long!” He acts unfazed and even offended. His words only made you redder on the cheeks, it was pleasing to look. “You couldn’t keep your hands to yourself.”
“Shut up!”
“What is make-out?”
Bumblebee suddenly asks.
Optimus wished he knew the answer to that.��
.
.
.
Against your will, tomorrow, Optimus and you will go on a small trip to meet with the S.T.E.A.M insider.
You lay on your bed, looking at the ceiling as if it had the answers to your problems.
Your phone rings again.
“I am not doing this anymore.”
You quickly say, you didn’t need to look at the caller’s name. He never missed to call you at the same time.
“That’s fine but just remember that Alex and his family might receive a visit from us if you don’t cooperate.”
As you hear your ex-lover’s name, your heart aches. They had threatened you with his life before, this past mission you did it because of him. Now his family is getting involved. You had promised a very long time ago to protect the peaceful life he worked so hard to get.
“And it won’t be a nice reunion.”
You were tired. You thought you had left your old life behind, that you could start new. But no matter where you go, it always catches up to you.
“How much more do I have to do for you guys to leave me alone?”
“If you do everything we do, you might be out faster than you think. You just have to trust us.”
“I have trusted you before and where has that led me?”
“It’s your only option,” he says as he makes a small pause. “Besides, wasn’t the monetary compensation we sent enough for you?”
You look over at the table next to you. Yes, they had given you a good amount of money to live well for the next couple of months for successfully obtaining the fragment of the AllSpark. Dirty money you think of never using it or just donating it to charity.
“Just a couple more missions. And everyone will be safe.”
You look at the money on your bedside board, next to it, a picture of you, Alex and his family. Your hands were tied.
“...What kind of mission?”
“I’ll send a package soon with the details.”
Adverting your sight from the picture frame to your wall, you see your black dress. Boots, a pair of gloves, a mask and a short red wig. A symbol of your past. Always a part of you.
“Welcome back, RedStar.”

A/N: I’ll get back to the Darkest Hour, it’s just that I finished watching Transformers Animated and it has taken over my brain-rot.
Sorry for any grammatical and spelling mistakes, I don’t proofread.
And thank you all for the lovely comments and support! It really helps me to stay motivated to continue writing things that I like to write and you all like to read.
That’s all for now. Until the next story!

Some silly doodles of Bumper and Reader from FMOD. I love drawing them.
@ babstheyaga
Fun Fact: Since they are the cannon fodder of the team, Bumper got their name because, like a car bumper, they’re always taking the hits and protecting the rest of the team

Jayce cold during the winter and Starscream warms her up. 💕
(Depends if you see Cybertronians as being hot due to being machines or cold due to giant cooling fans inside of them.)
Hi, anon! So happy that I can finally reach this!
Winter Fluff
Warnings: None
Word Count: 626
To put it simply, Starscream hated the winter. Personally, he never found enjoyment during the season on Earth. It was cold and miserable, and Starscream didn’t click well with either. And yet, Juniper wanted him to witness its beauty firsthand. Apparently, the season meant a lot to her.
Who was he to deny her?
Out in the forest, blankets upon blankets of snow covered the land in a glistening glow of white. The moonlight peeked through the leaves of the trees, enveloping the woods in a shower of light. As Starscream rested his wings below a natural overhang, he watched as Juniper hopped around in the snow, diving from mound to mound as she danced in her bulky garments. Evidently, a “coat” was designed to gather warmth for humans.
Starscream vented with a sigh, smiling at her. Despite the aches and twinges in the gears of his frame, he found her joy to be contagious. Juniper was a cheery girl, tossing various “snowballs” at him. Of course, Starscream didn’t form a counter attack. He wasn’t as foolish as to make her more cold than she already was.
How could he tell? She was shivering.
Yes, her Cybertronian half kept her warm. For the most part, at least. Just like any Cybertronian, she was still susceptible to the harsh elements.
Truth be told, it concerned him.
“Juniper?”
Starscream’s voice caused her to glance at him. Her green eyes glowed bright in the night.
“Yeah, Raptor?”
The mech’s wings twitched as he approached her, his heeled pedes sinking into the layers of snow.
“I…think it is time that we leave.” He frowned, lifting a claw and gazing down at her. “You don’t appear so well. I suggest that we go to Ratchet for a checkup.”
The name left a taste in his mouth.
For a nanosec, Juniper shook her head.
“What? Come on, bro. We’ve only been out here for like ten minutes…”
She was interrupted by her own sneeze. Starscream crossed his arms over his chest plating. Normally, he would grin at her. This time, however, he kept his frown of worry.
“Fine.” Juniper’s shoulders dropped in disappointment. “Let’s go.”
...
Although Starscream was now on “good” terms with the Autobot medic, he still didn’t particularly enjoy his presence. Nonetheless, he could swallow his pride for Juniper. She needed him.
In the medical bay, she rested on her tiny, soft bed, swaddled in blankets and pillows. As Ratchet tended to her vitals, Starscream loomed over his shoulder, always watching and making certain that he was performing everything accurately. Sure, Ratchet complained about it, but Starscream didn’t care.
Finally, after a short amount of time, Ratchet leaned away from the catwalk and nodded at him.
“She’ll be fine, Starscream.” He began to make his leave, glancing behind him for a moment. “And so will you. Just allow her to rest.”
There was a slight nanosec of silence as Starscream blinked and glared. And then, he focused his attention back on the little, techno-organic human. Slowly, he used one claw to pry the blanket off her. When she realized what he was doing, she reached out for him. Starscream cradled her close in his servos, leaning back against a random medical slab to hold her. Juniper rested on his chest plating, sighing blissfully as she stared at him with a fond smile on her pale face.
Starscream chuckled at her.
“Your nose is red.”
He touched the tip of his claw to it. In return, Juniper giggled.
“Yeah, I’m still cold.”
The mech smiled.
“Then by all means…allow me to warm you up, Mouse.”
As Juniper pressed her cheek against his armor, Starscream drew patterns into her back. Perhaps winter wasn’t as horrible as he once thought it was.

Ohhhh, Anon's perfect apple ask is now giving me blessed imagery of Dusknoir cutting apple slices into bunny shapes. Maybe for Opal, maybe for him to show off, either way.
The soft, the dexterity, the GENTLENESS after such a prolonged period of violence he had undergone. Opal called him her gramps for a reason, after all.

Hey how does it feel to have given me a prompt that had me tearing up all throughout the process of drawing it because of how unbearably heartfelt and endearing it is?
#I need to incorporate this into a fic somehow. it’s so sweet 🥺#Dusknoir cutting apples into fun shapes and patterns is now 100% canon#he’s always coming up with new ways make apples and other fruits into unique treats#Twig once asked him to teach her how to do all these crazy shapes and he refused.#sorry Twig this is a trade secret in the grandpa industry#anyhoo#FIRST RUBY CAMEO YEAHHHHHHH#I’m tentatively deciding that she’s a unovan zorua and her siblings are hisuian zoroarks#but Ruby (whenever she’s supposed to be in her ‘normal’ appearance) is usually transformed into a hisuian zorua#it takes a while for her to feel comfy enough to be in her true ‘default’ form— even after her siblings aren’t around—#because she always felt like a sore thumb when compared to her siblings.#after a while she reveals her true appearance to Opal before anyone else. she’s scared of how she’ll react. she’s scared to be rejected.#but instead of rejecting her Opal gets super excited about how ‘we match each other so good— we’re basically twins! this is so cool!’#it takes a bit. but Ruby doesn’t feel like she sticks out as awkwardly when her pelt matches Opal’s shadowy form and red eyes so well.#they’re sister your honor.#the present is a gift au#shadow baby AU#pmd dusknoir#dadnoir#pmd oc#pmd ocs#pokemon mystery dungeon#pokémon mystery dungeon#pmd explorers#pmd sky#pmd eos#pmd2#pmd#sofie answers asks#stuff by sofie
