    Summary

    //
    Ambulon crossed his arms behind his head and shut off his optics. He listened to the noise of the other recharging mechs, of his brethren that he never wanted to have. The uneven clatter of Abdominus’s malfunctioning vents was louder than anything else in the room, but oddly enough, it helped him drift into recharge.
    How long could a mech even survive sounding like that?
    [...]
    How long could any of them survive with this creeping decay?
    //

    Ambulon does not belong with the Combicons. He is a failure, as is their experiment. But what other choice does he have?

    Summary

    Getting kicked out of his frat halfway through the school year meant Fulcrum’s life was basically over. Also, he had nowhere to stay for Spring semester. “There’s an open room in my house, you should totally come live with me,” Misfire said, deep into a late night of cartoony video game violence.

    “Oh, yeah, that would be awesome,” Fulcrum replied, with absolutely no intention of taking him up on it. He and Misfire weren’t friends. They didn’t even really know each other outside of Shoot Shoot Bang Bang; they just happened to go to college in the same New England town.

    It wasn’t his first mistake. He could only hope it wouldn’t be his last. The house was a dump.

    Summary

    Prison was nothing new for Whirl. Sunstreaker had been in a few as well. But while Whirl was able to shake off what they’d experienced at the hands of their captors, something inside Sunstreaker was damaged and left him broken and withdrawn.

    Once they were rescued, Whirl found himself in the odd position of doing everything in his power to convince Sunstreaker to stay alive. After all, self destruction was Whirl's job, and no one on the Lost Light was allowed to do it harder than he was. That was what Whirl kept telling himself, anyway. What he wasn’t expecting was for them to turn the trauma into a bonding experience.

    And in the process, Sunstreaker realized that sometimes all it took to make you want to live again was one person proving that they gave a damn about you despite everything.

    Summary

    It was still dark in his hab when Cosmos fell out of recharge. For a disoriented moment, he wasn’t sure why he’d woken up; it was late into the Sanctuary’s night cycle, and his alarm shouldn’t have gone off for hours yet. He glared at the wall across from him, processor slogging through post-recharge grogginess.

    A hand rested gentle against his chest, and a familiar field brushed up against his own. Cosmos rolled onto his back, visor curling into a smile as he turned to look up at Soundwave.

    “I’m sorry,” Soundwave murmured. “I didn’t mean to wake you.”

    Cosmos shook his head, reaching out to grab their hand in his own. “Don’t worry about it,” he whispered. “How’s it going out there? Everyone still alive?”

    --

    Soundwave returns from a long day at work; Cosmos welcomes him home.
