Thinking of that time Momma Pig was about to give birth to the third kid and the official Transformers account (forgot which social media) said something like "all of Cybertron is on standby" or something like that.

i appreciate all fanfic writers so so much. if ur a fanfic writer please read this.
fanfics always make me feel so much better after a crappy day. being able to escape into a world that u love so much is such a gift. every single day, fic writers are coming home after working hard at a job or at school or doing something mentally/physically straining. and they write stories for us to immerse ourselves in. they cultivate characters that are open ended enough for us to be able to imagine ourselves in that place. i can honestly say that most of the fanfics i read are better than the books ive read. i’m so appreciative of all the fanfic writers, no matter what fandom or ship u write for. ur making so many people so happy. we as readers love u soso much!
tag ur fav writer in the comments so they can hear this!
I am convinced that TFP!Starscream and Predaking could've been friends or something under different circumstances.
...So, could you make headcanons for a situation like that?
Maybe the reader (Decepticon reader who is, by this point, already Starscream's romantic partner?) convinces Starscream not to be so harsh and be nicer to Predaking? Then, after Predaking is revealed to have a bipedal form... maybe they form a throuple? (I love them both, I'm sorry-)
◇𐙚ּ ֶָ֢. ideas: starscream + predaking (tfp)
omg this is like the dream sandwich subscream for me to tease and predaking to rule over me 😝😝😝 i love ur brain, this is potentially the funniest thing i can ever think of
scenario: you take up starscream's duties and it affecting your relationship, as well as creating new ones
warnings: jealousy, possessiveness, starscream and predaking squabbling, rivalry
notes: reader is taller than star but smaller than preda. this is comedic. like genuinely made me laugh writing some parts. crack taken seriously.
You were just strolling, one of the few lucky days Megatron decides not to burden you. He seemed to be in a very happy mood after Shockwave returned with his weird, flying beastie... Predacon? Was it called? You have no idea. its not your responsibility so its none of your business.
Anyway, since you had nothing better to do, you might as well go annoy your sweetspark. You asked around the Vehicons where he was and went right after him. You're standing behind the door and as the door starts to open-
"NO, DON'T YOU DARE! YOU BEAST! BACK DOWN- I SAID-"
The door opens and your beloved mech is swatted, sent flying into your direction, hitting you front with much force but thankfully, you're strong & sturdy, you catch Starscream as he pants in your servos. He looks like he's blown up more fuses than usual-
"YOU MINDLESS ANIMAL!" He screeches, his wings flaring up in anger at the Predacon who ignores him and proceeds to curl up in a resting position.
"pfft-" You hold back your laughter, making star's helm snap to look up at you.
"It's no laughing matter! Lord Megatron is ensuring I am occupied with this... this thing so that he can keep me in check!! I know what he's thinking!!!" He says, his voice going high pitched and hitting notes you thought weren't possible with how frustrated he was.
"Oh c'mon Star, thing is a little harsh... it's just a..." You look at the resting Predacon, dropping the love of your life to the floor as you ponder, a servo on your hip and the other on your chin. You observe the creature closely as Starscream scowls.
"...one of those weird dragon thingys that the human talk about." You come to a natural conclusion. Starscream rubs his helm, the disgraceful landing you'd provided him hurt a little but he stands up straight soon enough, dusting himself with his servos. He gives you a doubtful look.
"...dragon thingys?" He frowns, seriously doubting as he puts both his servos on his hip struts. Primus, he loved you but sometimes, you just sounded stupid. How on Cybertron do you think Predacons would have anything to do with Earth fauna?
"Yeah, they make movies and stuff about them. Large winged creatures that breathe fire and fly." You say, proud that you've managed to assess the Predacon. You cross your servos across your chassis as you look down at Starscream with a look of certainty.
"...right. And what do you propose we do with that information?" He asks with a sigh, honestly done with your antics. Why did you put 'have wings' and 'fly' as two separate things? He will never know.
"The humans have guides on everything, Star! I saw this one film named 'How To Train You Dragon'... I believe its content can help us."
"...you've been consuming Earth media?" He raises an optical ridge at you, looking semi-disgusted. You panic a little, covering up your genuine enjoyment for human novelties- He clearly looks displeased at the new development.
"Yes, strictly for educational purposes!" You claim, optics averted from his. Right, like Starscream would believe that... He sighs, looking at the beast. His derma scrunch up in distaste. He had no idea how to deal with this thing... But if the love of his life had a much better idea, he might as well let you try. The air commander grumbles.
"Fine! If you think you'd have a better idea, be my guest!" He says with a sigh and a roll of his optics, making your own optics narrow at him and his sass. He's probably having a terrible day if he's got this much attitude today.
Starscream has little to no faith in you as you walk out to go fetch something he presumes will be important for taming this dumb beast. Starscream's dermas scrunch up in disgust as he watches the predacon rest.
But soon enough, you come back, with what appears to be-
"Are you insane!?" He hisses out, looking at the energon cubes in your servos glowing blue. You're going to waste good, refined energon they're rationing! "We have strict orders to ration! You can't waste it on that thing!" Starscream explains, making you frown a little.
"C'mon, have some faith in me..." You mutter as you cautiously approach the beast. Starscream takes a step back, standing away from it lest he wishes to be the object of its ruthless tail swatting. You step silently, getting closer to its helm.
The Predacon acknowledges your presence with a huff, and a low growl, a clear sign of aggression but you don't seem threatened in the slightest. You gently place your servo on the mighty dragon's helm, caressing its crown.
"Look what I got you!" You say, gently putting the energon before the Predacon and its gleaming yellow optics brighten. It growls once more, huffing out smoke as it approaches the cubes, using its snout to feel. You take a step back to give him more space. And the Predacon starts devouring his meal, you watch keenly. Starscream is... amazed? His jaw slightly agape as he watches you manage the unruly beast. You hesitantly bring your servos to its maw and Starscream flinches a little, fully expecting the Predacon to bite off you servo. But instead, the Predacon pauses its mean for a second, its engines rumbling as your servo slides up and down its maw, moving to its jaw hinge and up its proud horns. The Predacon huffs, going back to fuelling itself as you continue your ministrations with gentleness it hasn't received ever in its life.
"See? I told you!" You say, looking at a stunned Star. He's in disbelief, his wings drooping with his shoulders slumped as his red optics are widened, blinking as he watches you kneeled down by the Predacon's side. You have a triumphant smile on your face.
....why does he feel jealous of the beast?
He clear his vocalizer, throwing away the thought as soon as it came.
"...Perhaps, I have underestimated the relevance of human media." He mumbles out, carefully approaching you and the Predacon, standing right behind you with his servos behind his back as he observes silently, slightly disapproving of how... oddly affectionate your touches are with the beast but he will not vocalize that for now. Because this is a miracle.
That beast has been the most undisciplined, disobedient machine he's ever had to have under his command. Even the seeker trainees used to be so much more bearable...
Little do the either of you know that your actions have signalled something else to Predaking. The Predacon feasted, strangely finding solace in your gentle touch though it was foreign. The energon you've bought him is sweet, delicious. Better than anything he's ever had. And the way you smile at him, along with your words tell him that you're nothing like the annoying Air Commander.
Were you trying to court him or something? He isn't sure how Cybertronian courting works. But he doesn't think that you and Starscream are together. However, when he does, its a little too late because he's already far too fond of you to let you go.
Time goes by, and you grow close with the Predacon, under Starscream's envious supervision, his red gaze looking at the two of you in... he can't believe he's thinking this but, jealous of this beast that's taking up so much of your attention! He doesn't like it one bit!
One time, the Predacon curled its tail around you and pulled you closer for more scratches when you tried to leave its side, this didn't sit well with Starscream and he tried to intervene and pull you out but he got swatted away yet again as if he were a mosquito.
"Preda, that's mean!" You frown, chiding the Predacon as Starscream stumbles up, trying to regain his footing. His fury flaring at the dragon hogging up all your attention and he stomps towards the two of you.
But before he could say another word, Preda who huffed, uses his tail to yank in Starscream, his frame against yours as the Predacon keeps the two of you close. Smoke flaring from its nasal vents.
"See? I told you it's comfortable." And it was. The Predacon's frame was warm, a stark contrast the freezing atmosphere of the Nemesis. Starscream grumbles, pouting a bit. But your servos are wrapped around him and you pull him in real close. This seems to alarm the Predacon, who in response, nuzzles its helm against your frame in its curled position. Your helm rests on the back of his pauldrons as he sits there with a deep frown and a sigh.
However, he give the Predacon a glare, and the dragon huffs out smoke in response.
The rivalry was real and its only getting stronger once Starscream realizes just how intelligent the Predacon actually is.
And the best part? You don't realize that the two of them are competing, why would you? You just assumed Starscream was overly affectionate when the two of you were alone because he's in a better mood. You surmised that the Predacon kept pushing Starscream away from you whenever it could because he didn't like Screamer— After all, the Predacon is just an animal. Its all very logical conclusions. Why would you expect your lover to beef with a dragon of all things for your attention?
— While the Predacon was certainly stronger than Starscream, Starscream was far more intelligent. He could just easily interrupt your time taking care of the Predacon into doing something else, far away from that partner stealing beast!
But you do see how the two of them fight. They constantly do. Its become routine where you have to make the both of them behave. Predaking was much stronger and he used that to his advantage but in this time frame, you think of him much like an actual animal who probably doesn't know any better. So naturally you having to tell Starscream off, before chiding the dragon. And the two of them look very frustrated that you can't see the obvious!
Starscream grumbles and the Predacon huffs.
But everything changes when Predaking shows off his bipedal mode for the first time.
Your jaw (along with Starscream's) was on the floor. This was unexpected, you would've never in a hundred million years thought that the creature was actually intelligent in the manner Cybertronians were! Meanwhile, Starscream is internally panicking because...
How will he compete with this!? Predaking is tall, strong, and most definitely powerful! And worst of all... Handsome! Starscream's insecurity grows the longer he looks at Predaking. And it doesn't help one bit that his yellow, gleaming optics are focused right onto you!
At least things got awkward between you and Predaking! That's a win for Starscream Later that day, Predaking eagerly came up to you expecting more of your caresses and Starscream can see the slight hesitation— But then you do it anyway and his spark drops when you choose to scratch along his jaw, digits on his faceplates as Predaking croons.
You notice how disheartened Starscream looks and you pull your servos off from Predaking who proceeds to frown deeply at the loss of your soothing contact. You remind Star that this is still the same dragon they cuddled up to many times. Starscream scoffs at that, but he's still very skeptical. He's just... worried you'll ditch him for the Predacon! And he knows its wrong that he shouldn't doubt you like that but its still a thought that concerns him. Starscream loves you.
But Predaking does too.
And the both of them are possessive and get jealous quickly. Though, Predaking is somehow more mature when handling his jealousy.
Sometimes, you wrap your servos around Starscream while he gets all flustered and then Predaking comes from the back and holds on to you. The cuddles are probably immaculate. Predaking is like a furnace the two of you melt into. Starscream can't believe he's becoming slowly accepting of Predaking and Predaking is starting to... tolerate Starscream. Evident with how Predaking's servos hold Starscream close as well, their optics making contact for a split second before averting their gazes.
Starscream gets in between you and Predaking when you're having a moment together sometimes and it makes Predaking's dermas twitch. But again, he did swat Starscream away with his tail so, so many times... Its not like he has the right to be angry.
You're stuck in a tug-of-war game that's slowly blooming into something more because the idea of sharing you is something that will take forever for them to think of. The two of them have their own sense of possession over you.
Nashi, ily. That was so good! Adult stuff has been getting to me lately so that little ficlet was definitely something I needed. Thank you. I think we could be good friends.
Have a funny meme!
YIPPEEEEE TYSM
This makes me so happy! I spent a lot of time (in the middle of online class) thinking of how to make it since I'm not into the grandpa, but I'm glad you liked it!
Could I have some TFP Ratchet x f!reader fluff? Maybe the reader is a doctor that works with June Darby and he starts to fall in love with the reader.
Then he’d start fighting with himself about how it’s wrong to love a human. Turns out she falls for him too.
:3 Thank you!
[TFP] RATCHET WITH A HUMAN DOCTOR S/O
A/N: YIPPEEE MY FIRST ASK!!! I only write Gn! Reader though </3 I'll do this as much justice as I can!
Warnings: Slight Angst in between
- The most probable way a human doctor completely unrelated to the three human kids would get tangled up with the Autobots is for them to either work under June or work with her as an equal. Because of this, you most likely found out about the mechs the same way June did... getting kidnapped and webbed by Airachnid. Yikes.
- The Autobots couldn't afford to have another loose end, so you were brought to the silo with them to fill you in and make sure you understand the gravity of the situation. To say that Ratchet didn't approve of another human in the base would be an understatement. He was not happy to have you.
- He wouldn't say it to your face, of course, though he would grumble to Optimus about it for a while. The Autobot leader would not only convince him to accommodate your presence, but to learn about humans from you and June. He begrudgingly accepts.
- Despite his gruff demeanour, he'll want to learn about human biology as fast as possible. Being in the war for so long makes a bot paranoid, and the size and fragility of their human friends didn't help his worries. What if the humans got injured, and neither of you were around? Seeing how June mostly came to check on Jack (and Optimus, who usually was on a mission), she wasn't exactly available. The responsibility fell on you to teach Ratchet how humans worked.
- Despite his earlier gripes about having two extra humans in the base, he'd be incredibly attentive when learning about your biology. One of the most baffling things to him would be how much the human body tries to sabotage itself. Human optics could get attacked by the immune system? Appendixes explode? Human females' reproductive organs break down and spew blood every month?
- He's surprised you're all still alive. Expect his respect for you to spike monumentally. Experiencing all of this and simultaneously helping others deal with it? Worthy of praise.
- It's not just respect for you that's growing. Spending so much time with the Autobot medic causes him to lower his defences. He tells himself that it's just medics respecting medics, but even he knows that's just an excuse. It comes to a point where both you and Ratchet just have an unspoken understanding with each other. Medical emergency with one of the others? One look at each other and both of you know what to do.
- It terrifies everyone else. They're under the assumption that Ratchet somehow found a way to telepathically communicate with you (except for Raf: he knows exactly what's going on but refuses to tell the others).
- The first one to understand what's going on between the two of you is - surprise surprise - Optimus. The Prime knows his old friend well, and Ratchet's obvious improvement in mood didn't go unnoticed.
"Ratchet, you... appear to be in quite a good mood recently."
"Do I? I suppose it's because you lot haven't been getting injured as much."
"Perhaps, but that was not what I was referring to. I simply meant that you seem more pleased ever since you began learning about humans."
The medic paused, the tool in his servos falling still. He let out a deep vent before responding.
"I... know more than I did before. [Name] is a good doctor."
"I see. Perhaps you-"
A crash sounds throughout the base. Ratchet looks up indignantly, conversation forgotten.
"Bulkhead! I needed that!"
- Ratchet himself is slow to understand how he feels. He knows that he trusts you, and that he's more tolerant of humans in the base, but the time it takes for him to understand that he's in love? You could wave a flag with the writing 'I'm madly in love with you' in his face and he'd just swat it away, telling you to stop messing around. The only way he'll understand himself is if other bots (and humans) start telling him how he feels. Especially Optimus.
- After a long, arduous period of Ratchet understanding his feelings, he'll finally get that he's romantically inclined to you. Now comes the fun part: Making peace with it. The medic was convinced that Primus was playing a cruel joke on him by making him fall for a human. It's not xenophobia at play, it's despair. He knows how little a human's lifespan is. You taught him that. Was he really going to have to watch the only person he'd love be lost to time?
- For a number of reasons, Ratchet would never confess first. He'd think it was selfish to take what little time you had when you should be growing old with a human partner. It's also because he believes that you'd never like a mech, much less a mech like him. The medic's relationship with you was already wonderful. He didn't want to ruin it by letting his feelings get in the way.
- In the case that you do confess first, Ratchet would pause for a very, very long moment, before shutting himself away from you for a few days without a word. On one servo, he's relieved that you feel the same. On the other, he still feels it's selfish to be with you, and that you deserve better. He ends up becoming much more quiet than before.
- Optimus feels the need to de-escalate ASAP, urging Ratchet to come to terms with the fact that he does want this relationship while simultaneously letting you know that the medic did feel the same way, and simply felt that you were probably mistaken in your own feelings.
(This is why we stan Optimus Prime in this household)
- A few days of persuasion and you and Ratchet finally have the most awkward relationship talk known to man. Congrats! It's official. Everyone's surprised at your new relationship!
...Or at least, you assumed they'd be.
"June? I thought I'd let you know, but... Ratchet and I are a thing now."
"[Name]... I know."
"Yeah, I know it's surprising, but- huh? Did Optimus tell you?"
"No offense to you, [Name], you're really smart and all, but... I knew ever since you gave me a de-briefing on Cybetronian anatomy."
"That talk was informative, June!"
"Uh-huh... well, congrats! Tell Ratchet I said hi."
- You'd think only June would react this way. Nope. Everyone. Bumblebee? Just gives you a thumbs-up and a bunch of whirrs that made Raf giggle. Bulkhead, Jack and Raf? A very strained congrats witht he occasional slip-up. Arcee and Miko, on the other hand?
"Oh, finally?"
"Arcee!"
- In a relationship, Ratchet would be gruff but gentle. He'd be stern if you ever hurt yourself, though the worry would bleed through his tone like Energon. He'd be incredibly careful with you; having learned human biology from yours truly, Ratchet's now hyper aware of anything that could hurt you around the base.
- PDA isn't really his thing. It makes him feel odd. He'll grumble a little if you're affectionate in front of others, but he won't stop you. In private, though, he's willing to be a little more vulnerable. Ratchet will never admit it, but it makes him feel safe.
- Speaking of being safe, he lets you drive him to work. He's an emergency vehicle, so nobody pays him any mind. It makes him feel better about being there just in case Airachnid (or any other Decepticon) wants to try you... again. Ratchet isn't exactly a fighter, but he's not half-bad with a weapon.
- When Ratchet inevitably stays on Earth with you, he feels oddly at peace. He lets you know about his deepest worries: about losing you too soon, about taking away what little time you had on Earth. He tells you all about it. Your reassurance that you'd rather be with him than anything else is what eases his spark. He'll be much more open about his emotions with you from then on. Ratchet knows you don't have a lot of time left, but that, he believes, is what makes you special. That out of every human (and bot) in the world, you'd chosen him to spend the rest of your life with.
