    Summary

    "You do not have to be good.
    You do not have to walk on your knees
    for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
    You only have to let the soft animal of your body
    love what it loves."

    "Wild Geese" - Mary Oliver

    ...

    It was obvious Ratchet was joking with that last part—a very bad joke, but it made sense. And now, everything made sense, to the point where he could only focus on how a joke in such poor taste made sense, and not on how awful it was.

    The cryptic comments. their apparent inability to follow the most basic rules. their blatant disregard for authority. their erratic and outright strange behavior. Their indifference. Those wildly out-of-place remarks.

    Because these mecha—

    Oh, for the Allspark.

    Blurr stared at nothing in particular as he realized something else.

    This ship didn’t just have a Decepticon.

    No, it contained the only kind of lunatic who would take a Decepticon into their ship and let them be a medic.

    He was trapped with a crew of war veterans.

    A bunch of war-worn pariahs.

    Summary

    He met someone once, years ago with matching scars and haunted eyes who had told him, "You either get better, or you die, Evan. There's no in between." He never saw her again after that, and he's never gathered the courage to look her up and find out which path she took. He's scared to die, that much he knows.

    But, he thinks he's scared to get better, too. Because, if he doesn't feel this anymore, if he isn't like this anymore, then what is he?

     

    (Or, someone finds out.)
