How bout now by luluyam makes me think of most of sg opmeg's dynamic in your fics

Ohhhhhh song recommendation, time to put that in my playlist skskks.

But yes I went to listen to the song, and apologies I do want to talk about it a little because I love character analysis so I will be taking this opportunity to yap.

However, first of all and unrelated to the yapfest I am unfortunately about to subject you to. Just have to say, this line slaps:

I know what it sounds like when the angels sing But demons sing much louder when you tug on my strings

Okay yaptime skskks

Okay so there's two parts of the song that caught my attention regarding SG OPMeg.

So the first one is:

I know that you're ugly like I am inside We are both the same, and I promise it's alright So why not mix my nastiness with yours tonight? And if you beg me to, I promise I will bite

Okay so obviously the song is more relatable if you imagine it in SG OP's perspective because well... the guy is genuinely obsessed with SG Megatron sskskks. And (bear in mind this is for my SG TF:One AU and not the canon SG comics in which SG Megatron is like... very much a heroic person, except for maybe the SG IDW comics where he's a bit more morally gray), I like the idea that these two understand each other.

When it comes to my SG TF:One OPMeg interpretation, I prefer to keep them very close to their baseline versions. SG Dee/Megatron is still very forlorn and a bit of a rule-follower, except a part of him is hopeful for a better future, he's just scared of actually doing anything to achieve that. I like to interpret him as having the same passion/fury as baseline Megatron but he was able to channel that passion into realizing he needed to be a better person and actually be more pro-active in trying to fix the world. Instead of succumbing to anger, he channels the strength of his emotions towards rectifying the injustice that he faced as a cogless miner. However, there was clearly a time where he was "weak" or essentially a lesser version of the heroic SG Megatron image that he'll eventually grow into - and this is a part of himself that Pax recognized and even loved, because he understood why Dee was the way he was. He couldn't blame him for trying to survive in his own way in the system they were put in.

On the other hand, SG Pax/SG OP is still like baseline in that he's reckless and still trying to find a better life for the cogless, but his goals are far less selfless and more self-serving in that he wants a better life for himself specifically, and helping others is just kinda a side thing that will happen if he finds a way to achieve that. Sure, he wants his friends to be okay, but he doesn't exactly care about helping anyone else if it doesn't benefit him. Even though he acts in a more selfish manner though, Dee recognizes why he acts the way he does and he doesn't blame him. Given their circumstances, it's hard to be nice and compassionate when self-preservation and survival takes precedent. Sure, it would be nice to be good, but given the circumstances, Dee can understand why Pax is more aggressive and more selfish. Besides, he can see that despite all that, SG Pax does hold some semblance of care for the people he likes even though he insists he only keeps people close to use them (and in a way he isn't lying but I like to interpret SG Pax as actually caring towards some of the other cogless miners like Jazz, Elita, and Bee even if he's bad at showing it).

The next line I saw was:

I fear I'm stuck to you like glue I don't wanna suffer, yearnin' if it isn't you

Even though a majority of the song is very much SG OP-core, this other line does fit both of the way I interpret them. As much as they develop into SG Megatron and SG Optimus, I do think the part of them (Dee and Pax) that lives on still loves the other very much and would not have any other person. They understand each other. They've seen the better and the worst parts of each other in a way that nobody else has. No matter how far they go. No matter how bad the conflict grows, a part of them can't help but be glad that at least they're each other's constant. While the last line is more about yearning romantically, I also think it's a good way to relate to both of them acknowledging that they've both suffered from one another... but they'd rather get hurt by the familiar because at least it's a pain they know all too well... and at least it's from someone who saw every part of them... and perhaps still loves them for who they are despite everything.

[fleuriquill]

Sorry for disappearing sksksk went and did a bit if soul-searching about life (which is not something y'all will be privy to lmao). But yes, I will return to writing soon sksks and hopefully post a minific tomorrow (one I did on Saturday but was putting off in posting sksksk).

SUBNAUTICA AU - TFONE

An AU @fleuriquill and I made. Yes, this will have a main fic, just like Amare. As for when it'll drop, we have no exact date yet but it's within this year. The story is already coherent and has substance, it's just a matter of when our schedules will have enough leeway.

I'll still be putting out works that will tackle whatever specific world-building we currently have without spoiling the main plot, hehe.

Surprisingly, to us, this AU is very chill—even the SG version. Compared to our other AUs, this is super chill HAHAHAHAHAHA

If y'all have further questions regarding it or any other stuff I can answer, feel free to ask! (^^)

A lot of the following illustrations are sketches and drafts due to the lack of time and my current physiological afflictions that hampers me from drawing 💀

The SG OPMeg was for Quill's bday! 🎂🎉🎇

[fleuriquill]

Godddddd I wish I could write the fic now honestly skskksksks I am so excited for this AU. I just keep thinking of the cool sea creatures and little guppy Pax and Dee skskksksks.

Also thank you again Meu for the SG art!! You drew them so cute huhu. The wittle guppies, they deserve to be happy for this AU... considering... well... that's for when I get to finally write that fic skskksk

[fleuriquill]

A collection of one-shot scenarios where Dee is related to Prima and Megatronus Prime.

Since this topic won my poll, I’ll be taking requests for it skksks. I’ve also put the rules under this post. Feel free to request.

Okay so it is my birthday and that means it's time for my usual one-shot collection fic sksksk. I had a poll on Tumblr and the topic that won this year is the concept of Dee as PrimaTronus' sparkling. Which is perfect because a friend and I have just been brainrotting about this so I am so happy because that gives me an excuse to write about it hehehe. So yes, feel free to request anything that is related to this topic.

I don't have a lot of rules but here are some of them:

Don't be weird (this is a given).

No NSFW.

I am open to Megatron ships cause Dee can be older in some of these one-shots (obviously though I'm not gonna do a ship in any fic where he is a kid lmao).

I am open to PrimaTronus-focused requests but it has to involve Dee in some way cause that's the point of this lmao.

I am open to other ships being mentioned, however, up to my discretion if I'll write about it since the point of this is platonic.

I am open to both baseline and Shattered Glass versions.

I am open to crossovers between different continuities but it has to involve the PrimaTronus and Megatron (this is just in case there's a request for the concept but like say in TFP or IDW - cause technically Prima and Megatronus are in those continuities).

But yeah, feel free to send requests about Dee being PrimaTronus' sparkling.

[fleuriquill]

In another world, Sentinel didn't betray the Primes... Mostly because he and Zeta accidentally got together.

This is that world.

Otherwise, a collection of non-linear one-shot minifics that take place in the Amare AU.

As it says, it’s a collection of minifics for the one-shot so that on Saturdays where I can’t dedicate myself to writing a full longfic/chapter for the current fic I’m writing, I do a minific instead so I don’t miss out on practicing my writing. 

I share this AU with @meuchu who has written 4 chapters for the main fic of this AU + their beautiful fanart for the AU too. Please check them out as well since they give more insight to the world of the Amare AU.

[fleuriquill]

Okay, as it is May, it is time for my one-shot fic collection again sksksk. This is cause May is my birth month and I like to celebrate by... writing more sksksk. Which is probably strange but I love writing so this makes me happy. Like last time (in an old account we will not mention lmao), I will be doing a poll to determine the topic of the one-shot fic collection. Then after that's settled, y'all can give me requests based off the topic.

So here are the options.

Topic for One-Shot Fic Collection

High Guard + Sparkling Megatron 2: Electric Boogaloo

Dee as PrimaTronus' Sparkling

OPMeg One-Shots

SG Stardew Valley AU

SG Royal AU

Platonic Yandere One-Shots (poor D-16 lmao)

Voting ended onMay 10

And I shall explain each of them down below.

High Guard + Sparkling Megatron 2: Electric Boogaloo

So, this one won my poll last time and you can find the fic up on my Ao3. I'm opening up the topic again because there is never enough platonic fic. Like before, I accept ship requests among the High Guard but not for Megatron because he is a child lmao. I also will state now that I will not accept requests killing Megatron cause I find child death to be extremely distasteful and it's a topic I refuse to write.

Dee as PrimaTronus' Sparkling

As you know, I am very delulu about the concept of Dee being PrimaTronus' sparkling so this is one of the topics lmao. The requests can range from any continuity (assuming Prima and Megatronus exist in that continuity, I can make it work). It's essentially just exploring the concept of Megatron/Dee being related to Prima and Megatronus because I am the writer of this fic collection and I can do that lmao.

OPMeg One-Shots

Of course, I also have room for the topic of writing OPMeg one-shots since it is my favorite ship. I'm open to most continuities but I must apologize in advance if I turn down TFP or TFA related requests as I am not yet done finished watching TFP and I have not yet watched TFA (sorry... the chins...) sksksk. Slight note, I do not accept nsfw requests unless it's sparkmerging and I do NOT accept MegOP requests.

SG Stardew Valley AU

So, I do have a fic featuring this AU that I made with a friend. Despite the fact the characters are their SG versions, this is a slightly cracky fic because... imagine the SG characters in a slice-of-life, hilarious lmao. For some context, Megatron is the farmer character and Optimus is technically his love interest. However, there are other characters in this AU and I would like to explore them too.

SG Royal AU

So this is the dark topic option if you want me to write horror for May skskks. It's essentially just the main four (Dee, Pax, Bee, and Elita) being related to the SG Primes and how they navigate their life around these really bad people. It's definitely not a light subject and these four will be suffering. So if y'all want an angst/horror collection for May, this is the choice.

Platonic Yandere One-Shots (poor D-16 lmao)

This is the second angst/horror option, though def not as bad as the one above. It's essentially just making Dee deal with a bunch of platonic yanderes because I love messing with him lmao. I won't be accepting ship requests for this particular topic if it wins cause I feel that defeats the purpose of the topic, so no yandere OPMeg shenanigans. Dee will suffer either from friendship or me suddenly giving him parents lmao.

But yes, happy voting skskks and I shall start writing officially on the day of my birthday skskks.

[fleuriquill]

omg this is so perfect timing AAAAA.

Thank you for voting on the poll, as you can see Dee as PrimaTronus' sparkling won so that will he the topic of my next one-shot fic collection. This is perfect timing cause I was just talking to a friend about an AU and my god that AU has infested my mind SKSKSKS. I will be uploading the first one-shot later on this day (cause it's already the midnight of my birthday by the time I scheduled this to drop lmao) then I will be accepting requests sksksk.

Usually I start off with a request, as I did last year, but... Let me have the first chapter please because I am SO SO SO SO excited about this new AU my friend and I were talking about and I need to write it or I will explode SKSKSKKS.

But yes, anyway calming down now, thank you for voting and let's hope I finish this as intended and it does not take me... Five months again HAHAHA.

[fleuriquill]

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

When the energon drought tore through Cybertron, Sentinel Prime decreed that the cogless population go deep within the bowels of the planet to harvest what little they could, not realizing the danger that they were unearthing by such an act. After all, in the darkness, what could possibly exist except monsters?

Otherwise known as, the summary is too dramatic for a fic about SG Vampire Pax doing his creepy shenanigans as he attempts to turn Dee and pretend to be a normal cogless bot.

And with that, I have fulfilled my promise. Now I shall have my... 3-hour hiatus because I said I would be back in May... which is in 3 hours HAHAHA.

Okay but in all seriousness, I had fun writing this fic and the Apocalypse AU fic sksksks. It is good practice for hopefully more fics in the future, especially since May is the start of my one-shot collection fic again and I'll also be trying to start my SG TF:One AU longfic. Anyway, I still hope you enjoy this fic. Despite the summary, it's kinda just SG Pax being a little freak.

Honestly, I did not plan on using the mature tag for this but the way I wrote the blood feeding scene is lowkey kinda gross and def borders nsfw lmao. Like to me, writing it, it was definitely like a horror scenario... but then I remember some people are into this kind of stuff (which no judgment lmao) so I decided to just put the tag just in case skskks. Also, PaxD are together in this AU so Dee, if he was awake, usually would not mind being kissed lmao.

It was a shame they had switched to securing the Archives with drones, while they were fueled by energon, theirs was far cruder than one could find inside a normal Cybertronian. Still, Pax knew he couldn't be too picky.

After all, it wasn't as if he was supposed to be there anyway.

He tore off another limb from the still sparking frame, listening to the crackle of its machinery as its systems shut down. He noted to himself to pick off a some scrap before he left. It's not like the medics would care where he got the metal from.

Pax placed a bit of it's wire into his intake, chewing at the burnt end of it as he turned to what he had come there for. The hologram was still playing the history of the first Primes, and even though it really gave him no important information, he considered it a good enough relic to keep for himself.

Carefully, he dislodged the holodisc from the projector device, placing it inside his subspace as he surveyed the dark room for any sign of a new droid entering. After a few kliks of silence, he let out a sigh of disappointment.

He was expecting a bit of a chase, maybe they'd even send out an enforcer to deal with him, that would be fun. Still, Pax could understand why he was encountering less of it.

If Dee hadn't forced him to rush that one time, then he wouldn't left such a mess. Pax didn't care for cleaning up after a meal, but there was a reason their kind had survived undetected for a long time.

Everyone these solar cycles experienced energon fatigue. With the drought, it had almost become normal.

Who would believe that siphons existed?

They were "myths" after all.

But it was hardly his fault anyway. Unlike the rest of his kind, Pax had blended in. It was those morons who siphoned too much energon from the miners that ended up costing them. Now the medics were warning of a strange "delirium" caused by "lack of energon" as a reason for why some miners would go "feral."

Pax couldn't help but roll his optics at the thought, turning to scour through the pile of datapads and holodiscs he had dragged into the room. It really was just stupid that he couldn't even have fun anymore on these little excursions.

He didn't know much of the past when the Primes were still alive, but that Sentinel Prime was suspicious. Every new "law" he enacted was made to hunt them down in the most subtle ways, but a normal Cybertronian shouldn't even know they existed…

If any of the older siphons knew anything, it was clear they were keeping their secrets to themselves. Pax would have to find his own information.

Yet, either the Archives' collection had been severely altered since Sentinel Prime took over, or the previous archivist didn't care about organization.

There was nothing here to go off of.

Even the historical records were littered with nonsense that felt more like stories than actual fact. If he could, he would have used those for scrap too, but he didn't want to ruin the little bit of data that the Archives already had.

At least the math datapads appeared reliable, though he could only hope he wasn't feeding Dee misinformation.

Mathematics… not really his interest, but if Dee wanted them then who was Pax to say no?

He scoured through the pile, picking up a datapad that contained an explanation of some math algorithm or whatever it was Dee liked.

He gently placed it inside his subspace, then turned his attention back towards the droid. It was rather tiny, nothing much of value but miners barely had that anyway. His servos transformed, the metal sharpening as he began to tear off chunks, scrounging for any material that could be of use.

Once he had everything, he looked at the remains of wire and cabling, wondering if he should clean up the mess before heading back to the mining quarters. Then again, they already knew that "something" kept breaking into the Archives, and they barely did anything to combat that threat.

He could leave it as a present for the poor mech who had to clean up.

Pax licked up the rest of the remains of the energon that still stained his servos, wincing at the bitter taste of it. The drones weren't fully fueled with energon, so the oil that made up at least a quarter of their energy source mingled poorly with the usually sweet flavor of the energon.

In some ways, it almost reminded him of how the mining bots tasted. They were far sweeter, but their low energy levels meant the energon was thinner than normal Cybertronians.

It was pitiful and though Pax was not the type to care for mechs that he considered beneath him, he almost felt sorry for them. Those above stole the raw energon that his kind had been using to sustain themselves for cycles and they barely even used it to feed their workers.

Ironic that given how much they took, it was cogged Cybertronians who were far easier prey than the lowly miners that the siphons had integrated with.

Or maybe Pax just had a preference for who he liked to hunt.

He walked away from the droid without another glance.

He walked over to the window he had climbed through, glancing out at the twinkling lights of Iacon as dawn began to approach. He hadn't been searching for as long as he thought, there was still a bit of time before the solar cycle officially began.

While Iacon's tall buildings shone from the starlight that seeped past the cracks of the surface above, the streets down below were an almost endless abyss of darkness. No sensible mech would be awake at this joor.

Except the drunks or the early risers.

Pax didn't mind which one.

He just needed to feed.

—

It was still part of the recharge cycle by the time he snuck back into the mining quarters. A few mechs were already awake, but none of them batted an optic at the sight of him. They were either too used to seeing him, didn't care enough to say anything, or were other siphons who had been just finished feeding.

In his mining sector, there was only one other siphon, so he wasn't too surprised to find Jazz awake. Unlike Pax, Jazz didn't have any reservations about being discrete. It's probably half his fault why siphons were an open secret.

He tossed a bit of the scrap he had over to Jazz. The other mech didn't need it, but the miners were more willing to bargain with Jazz than they were with Pax. That, and he owed him for checking on Dee when Pax wasn't around.

He headed towards the his recharge berth, watching from the corner of his optics as Jazz slinked off. Their shift wouldn't start until another joor and so that left plenty of time for Jazz to go spend time with that annoying friend of his, or as Pax liked to call, Jazz's little "pet project."

For a mech who enjoyed leaving his prey as if they were mini art exhibits, he really had to pick the most cautious mech among the miners. Then again, Pax supposed Prowl was useful enough, and it wasn't every solar cycle that some mech decided to blackmail Jazz into helping him in exchange for not outing him as a siphon.

Pax shook his helm, if Jazz want into that then he'd keep his judgments to himself.

Besides, he should stop delaying before one of the miners woke up.

He left the scrap metal at his berth before turning to Dee.

Dee was a heavy sleeper, which Pax was grateful for. He wasn't above knocking his own best friend out, but he'd rather not injure Dee if he could help it. It would just be counterproductive, and Pax didn't like wasting his efforts.

He stalked up to the other mech, taking in the sight of Dee's frame. It was stained with dirt,

Another reason why he personally thought Sentinel Prime had to die.

Pax didn't care what Dee looked like but a mech with too big a spark such as his didn't really deserve to be stuck down in the pits.

At least, if a mech like Dee was going to be resigned to such a fate, he should at least be vicious. While Pax accepted that Dee was physically strong compared to the other miners, his attitude really could use some work. He'd let anyone walk all over him if they showed him a shred of kindness.

Pax rolled his optics at the memory of Darkwing. Before Pax had shown up, Dee had been friends with Darkwing since he had been nice enough to him.

Pax didn't even bother feeding on Darkwing when he tossed him down the waste chute.

He leaned a little closer towards Dee, optics scanning his neck cables as a gnawing urge to bite down passed through his HUD. He shook the thought away, closing the space between them as his servos curled around Dee's helm. In recharge, Dee looked almost dead, his colorless frame just a few shades away from gray.

Pax thought it made him look more beautiful that way.

With as much gentleness that a being like him was capable of, he moved his digits to the bottom of Dee's dermas, lowering them until Dee was cycling in air through his open intake.

He pressed himself close, to any other mech, it may appear that they were kissing… which wasn't exactly an uncommon sight…

And while Pax did enjoy that part of their relationship, it wasn't his goal.

Carefully, he opened his own intake, glossa transforming into its naturally long form as it snaked its way past Dee's dermas. Then, he felt the trickle of energon come up from his own tanks as he began to divide half of his hunt with Dee.

The sticky sweetness of energon mingled between their dermas as Pax continued, checking his energy levels with each passing klik.

Once he was satisfied, he withdrew, glossa transforming back to appear like a normal Cybertronian's. He took a step back, wiping a bit of energon away from Dee's dermas just in case anybody noticed. It would be easy to laugh off, but Pax didn't want to see the annoyed looks the other siphons would throw him at his carelessness.

Even though he should return to his recharge berth and pretend to sleep, he couldn't help but linger a little longer, optics focused on Dee's neck cables.

He should try it again.

Without any further restraint, he lunged and bit down.

Dentae dug into the mesh, giving way as it always did each time he did this. Unlike those he'd left discarded to gray, he didn't attempt to take in more energon.

Natural siphons emerged from the bowels of Cybertron, perhaps an abomination of Primus that came about from the god's nightmares deep in his slumber. Yet they had been endowed with the ability to bestow the blessings they were given to normal Cybertronians.

The miners that were driven mad from the "lack of energon" were remnants from a siphon feeding on them and accidentally injecting them with their own nanites.

Yet no matter how hard Pax tried…

He bit down more harshly than he usually did, as if somehow that would make the nanites stick this time. Then he withdrew, glaring at the open wound that was beginning to patch itself up. It was an effect of the nanites, though it didn't usually mean that the turning process had worked.

No matter how many times he's tried, Dee still remained himself. It wasn't like he wanted him to change into a different mech, he just wanted Dee out of this place.

With a sigh, he turned away.

Hopefully, this worked.

—

It did not work.

Pax crossed his arms together, unable to hide his sour mood even as Dee sat right next to him. They had just finished another boring shift where the only interesting thing that happened was some poor mech getting crushed underneath a pile of stone. The only impact that had left was that now Dee was holding onto his energon rations without actually consuming it.

"Pax?"

"What?" He snapped, having half the processor to just snatch the energon cube from Dee.

"… Do you think it would hurt?"

For a moment, he didn't know what Dee was asking.

He looked over at his friend, the smallest trace of guilt whirring through whatever it was that kept him alive as he noticed how Dee kept his helm at a strange angle, as if keeping pressure off of one part of his neck cables. The bite shouldn't have left a single hint, but Pax had been relentless in trying to turn Dee for a while now.

Still, he didn't think that was what Dee meant to ask.

"What would hurt?" Pax leaned back, servos resting against the top of the crate they sat on. "The punishment for the mine collapse?"

"No." Dee continued to roll the energon cube in his hold before finally deciding to stash it away in his subspace. Pax tried not to frown, remembering that Dee's tanks were close to full from early that solar cycle. "Being crushed under—"

"That wouldn't happen to you." He dismissed the ridiculous thought immediately. It couldn't happen because Pax had asked favors from some of the other siphons to make sure it didn't. Pax knew he couldn't feasibly around all the time, but at least one of them would ensure Dee was safe. "So stop worrying your helm about it, Dee."

"But it could happen." Dee insisted, that pessimistic attitude that Pax hated surfacing again. "You know how high the statistics are for us."

"Don't use your math equations on me." He scoffed. Even so, he remembered the datapad he had taken from the Archives and checked his subspace for it. "I'm too lucky for that and you're too careful for something like that to happen."

"Still… it must be painful." Dee was looking at the blocked entrance they had all flown out of just a few joors ago. For now, it was impenetrable until the surface shifted it open again.

"Starvation is worse." He murmured mostly to himself. Siphons used to sustain themselves from the raw energon underneath the planet's surface, but since the miners had begun to enter their territory, they had chosen to integrate with the population so their fuel source wouldn't be so easily taken. He didn't care much for the whole cogged or cogless issue that Sentinel Prime seemed to have enforced, as siphons they didn't possess such anatomy anyway, but he - like any of the others - was angry that they were being disturbed by Cybertronians who should have remained away from them. "Stop thinking, Dee."

He pulled out the datapad from his subspace, inspecting it for a moment before handing it to his friend. Dee didn't notice for a few kliks, which annoyed Pax enough that he started tapping it against the top of Dee's helm until he was forced to look.

"Got you something from the Archives." He shoved it into Dee's servos, savoring the look of surprise and slight envy that always appeared on Dee's face each time Pax brought him back something. Maybe he wouldn't so be jealous if he actually allowed himself to go with Pax one of these solar cycles.

"Thanks, Pax." Most of all though, Pax liked seeing the smile on Dee's face. Even if he was one of the friendlier mechs among the miners, Dee rarely allowed himself to smile. Which is why Pax took great pride that Dee smiled freely around him. "You should be careful though."

"Relax, as if a droid is enough to take me down." He snickered as he remembered how easy it had been to whack that thing when it tried to ambush him. Free breakfast. "The enforcers are incompetent too."

"No, I do trust you, Pax. It's just…" Dee's voice trailed off.

"Don't be so clingy, Dee." Pax could tell that it wasn't what Dee meant, still, he couldn't help but poke fun at him anyway. "Even if I did get the chance, I would never leave you."

"Shut up." Dee rolled his optics, but Pax still noted the blue tint on his face as he tried to brush him off. "I'm just asking you to be careful. So many mechs are going missing now, and the traces that are left of them are just…"

"Oh." Pax quickly lost interest. "Those rumors of, what, siphons? That's just to scare little sparklings, Dee."

"I'm serious, Pax." Dee glared at him. His concern would have been welcomed if Pax knew there was an actual threat. As it stands, the only monster around here was the Prime that decided to rule over them all. "I don't… want you to die."

"Well, I won't." He laughed. He didn't even know if beings like him could. "The same way you won't die in a mining collapse. That's just stupid."

Dee let out a tired sigh, dropping the subject as he turned to look at the time. The next shift was coming, best to not start an argument.

"At least, try not to sneak out during the lunar cycle." Dee stood up, grabbing his drill. He gave Pax a look over his shoulder plating, a little smile on his face. "Or maybe I'll go with you next time."

Before Pax could process that, Dee was already walking off.

He couldn't help but smile to himself as he thought of Dee scaling the tall Archives building. It just didn't feel like Dee at all.

Even so, Pax didn't mind.

Maybe Dee just needed a little push to become a siphon.

And Pax could hardly wait to help him fall.

=============================================================

Notes:

I had to stop myself from just infodumping because I may have worldbuilt for this AU a little bit but I can't start another fic skskks I can'tttt. I promised myself I wouldn't skskksks. But yes, essentially here, SG Pax is a vampire. In my AU, I refer to them as siphons. You know like siphoning fuel since they technically steal the inner energon of normal Cybertronians. They're not called vampires but that's essentially what they are. They are just like your usual vampires except for the tongue thing, which is inspired by a mythological creature from my country called the Aswang. Actually thinking about it, the way I wrote the siphons for this AU, they're more like Aswangs rather than your typical vampire... except for the turning/feeding part which is taken from popular vampire lore. After all, I don't think I can get away with how Aswangs are usually made in this context lmao.

So the Siphons are actually another type of monster alongside the Vosians (name pending lmao) and Sparkeaters. So we all know what sparkeaters are, it's canon monster in transformers. Vosians, on the other hand, are inspired by the manananggal (another mythological creature from my country). Don't search it up if you're not into gore, but essentially, manananggals are a sub-class of Aswangs but their whole schtick is that they are a self-segmenting type of ghoul. Their upper torso detaches from the bottom half and they grow wings so they can fly around to hunt. Not all fliers in this AU are Vosians by the way, only those who descended from Vosian origins.

But yeah that's all skskks. Lowkey, I had to hold myself back from implying Sentinel was a Vosian, but... there's that fun fact for you skskks (sorry I wrote this when I was 'Pax is a ZetaSen baby'-pilled so sksk). But yeah, indulge me a bit when I say that the reason SG Sentinel was letting Pax lowkey get away with sneaking around in the archives and killing the droids is cause he knows Pax is his and wanted him to do what he wanted in the Archives... which doesn't make as much sense right now since this is a mini one-shot but let me delulu and this is my fic/AU so I get to drive the car even if it into oncoming traffic SKSKS.

Also yeah I did imply JazzProwl in this fic but I'm not tagging them cause... they really didn't do anything and Prowl didn't even show up.

But yes, hope y'all enjoyed this and... see you in three hours /j

At the end of the world, there is nothing left but the survivors and the monsters.

As D-16 traverses through the ruins of a planet that once was home, he may find the line between those two ideas may not be so divided after all.

It's just gonna be a one-shot, Quill. Write a horror fic, Quill. You won't get carried away, Quill.

Well, as you can tell from the chapters, I did SSKSKSK.

This was supposed to be a one-shot but I couldn't help myself sksksk so now... Well we have this fic sksksk. It's part of my Primes as Eldritches AU fic, the so-called bad ending of the main au where the Primes wake up and plunge the world into an apocalypse. This time though, it's just Dee.

Also since I have too many ideas, and I doubt I'll be writing for this AU soon... There's a lot of loredump in this fic for the AU sksksk. Some of which will be obvious, others not so much but yes sksksk. At any case I had fun writing this fic, it's not really giving the fact that I'm supposed to be on hiatus but I can't help it sksksk I adore writing far too much to stay away too long.

Not posting the full fic here cause it’s multi-chaptered skskks.

[fleuriquill]

The dee meet cov megatronus idea of yours made me wish for more

So can you like talk about it 🙏 and what would their dynamic be like on surface and the inside?

Please 🙏

Thank you for enabling me to yap sksksk but also... I will now talk a lot and therefore I need to use the "keep reading" line.

Okay so Cov Megatronus is very much like... Lowkey ostracized in Covenant. I mean he is certainly antagonistic when he becomes The Fallen and he was definitely doing some questionable things even before that but like... I feel kinda sad that he's kinda pinned as being immediately awful when like some of the Primes contributed to that too.

It's probably not helped that Covenant is written by Alpha Trion who seems to be a very biased narrator even if he's meant to document history.

Like the fact that we just kinda gloss over the fact that Prima was being such an asshole to Megatronus and the other Primes after Nexus since he considered them much closer to Unicron than him and the first Primes. Like Liege in Cov is very much an antagonistic force in Cov but he had a point that Prima was just... For some reason... Writing in his little journal about which one of them was evil/close to Unicron??? Sksksk

Mind you, they all worked together to beat Unicron so this was just crazy behavior from Prima. Like Liege had a point in calling him out about this.

But like he just remains so antagonistic.

When Megatronus confronted him about the journal, and well to be fair Megatronus confronted him by... Tossing him into a table and getting mad. Prima just brushed him off with: "he's so easy to provoke." Which... Okay man sksksk.

And like the reason Prima suspected Megatronus the most is cause Megatronus tended to keep to himself and was a bit of a loner. So you know... Fantastic evidence to accuse somebody of being the devil incarnate.

But yeah Cov Megatronus to me seems very lonely. Like Liege was just using him really. And well, while I personally think Solus did love him, he seems to have been under the impression that she was also using him. Whether or not that's true, I wouldn't know sksksk. But yeah he just seems like he got fucked over a lot and his downfall was really not helped by the other Primes.

Now with all that out of the way, I'm going to toss Dee into Cov now.

So like Megatronus finds Dee by accident here and entirely on his own. He was taking a walk when he ended up stumbling onto Dee who is very confused where he is.

Now, the Cov Primes obviously look different from their TFO counterpart but for the sake of simplicity, let us pretend Dee recognizes Megatronus or the Cov Primes don't look all that different (Side note: do check out the Cov/Aligned designs cause they are so cool. I especially love Quintus' design, like he is just so awesome looking).

So Dee forgets himself a little and obviously fan boys for a bit while Megatronus is very confused where this injured young mech came from. It's also kinda the first time he feels seen/admired by anybody since Dee is still here fanboying lmao.

Megatronus takes him back to wherever his own personal quarters are so he can privately talk to Dee and figure out where he came from. So like Dee talks about the TFO universe obviously and while Dee assumes he's back in the past (which is easy enough for him to believe since it's not like he knows what past Iacon looked like), Megatronus immediately realizes from the details he gives that Dee is from a different universe.

And like, see, he could help take Dee back home since Vector Prime has the power to take Dee back to his universe, but Megatronus decides not to divulge that information cause he doesn't want Dee to leave. He justifies it to himself by believing that Vector won't help anyway since Vector is closer to Prima and may argue that there may be a reason that Primus sent Dee to their universe anyway sksksk (Cov Vector is described as being very stubborn and very devout to Primus so sksksk).

Megatronus also justifies it to himself since he can see that Dee is cogless. As far as I'm aware, t-cogs do exist in the Aligned continuity cause TFP Bumblebee broke his for a while. It did get fixed but I'm unsure if it's possible in Aligned to fully replace a t-cog (like in IDW). So as far as Megatronus is concerned, Dee is injured and from the details he shared of his universe, his circumstances aren't good. Sure, Megatronus is a little ostracized by the other Primes, but life in their universe is better than TFO so he's doing Dee a favor by making him stay there instead.

Dee is understandably upset when Megatronus tells him that he can't go back to his universe, especially since he doesn't want to leave Pax alone. So for a while he's a bit sad and just kinda forlorn. Megatronus does feel bad but I imagine Cov Megatronus is much more selfish than his TFO counterpart and so he doesn't care that Dee is sad.

Eventually, Dee ends up accepting that he's stuck in this universe since Megatronus is so nice to him and even treats him like he's his own.

Megatronus does have no plans on actually telling the other Primes about Dee but they eventually figure it out, but Dee agrees with Megatronus' lies that Dee is his sparkling.

The other Primes lowkey just kinda accept it cause they don't really care what Megatronus is doing.

The only ones who are suspicious is:

Solus - cause she is the closest to Megatronus and she is absolutely certain he did not mention a sparkling at any point.

Liege - cause he's... The Prime of Lies... Like yeah he knows Megatronus is lying lmao.

Prima - cause he's a bitch always suspicious of Megatronus and can just sense there's something fishy here.

But yes skskskk. Dee is stuck in the middle of Primes who are literally just one bad decision from shooting one another. Like honestly Megatronus may be a platonic yandere here but like... the real danger is literally all the Primes skkssk.

Edit: I'm still unsure if they can make t-cogs in this continuity, but they could probably give Dee one. Amalgamous is there and I doubt Solus would have a hard time making one skskks

Hi, I also want to show you the earlier artworks that is for Primes as Eldritches AU on Ao3.

This is four artworks that I give you as gifts and tribute to your AU work project. You deserve to remember the artworks.

Hiiii! Nice to see you again.

And yes thank you for the artwork! Little fish Dee remains as cute as ever <3

[fleuriquill]

Lol just wanna be a lil delulu but sg shockdad and bumbleson in the sg! royal au

I feel like if it werent for elita, optimus, and megatron bumblebee would have went goldbug when he was younger but i just wanna be a lil delulu ane add to the mix is the compassionate, wise, kindly, and well-spoken shockdad who kept bumblebee grounded

What do you think?

Admittedly, compared to the rest of the sparklings, Bee is my least developed one in the story. His main schtick is that he somehow manages to get info that even Pax doesn't get cause Bee is so unnoticeable that he manages to sneak anywhere sksksk.

But that's a cute idea for shockdad and bumbleson in the AU sksksk. I loveeeee the shockdad fics and AUs I come across sksksk. Especially that series in Ao3 for TFA Shockdad and Bumbleson... I just adore platonic fics in this fandom sksksk. Especially platonic yandere fics which is so rare sksksk.

But yeah it's nice for Bee to get somebody to take care of him too in this AU. This Shockwave is very compassionate too and would willingly take Bee underneath his care. The best part is that since Bee's own creators won't notice, he'll actually be able to spend a lot more time with Shockwave. Honestly, Shockwave could just hide him in his lab and Bee's creators won't even notice... Maybe that's where he usually is when the others can't find him sksksk just staring as Shockwave does his little experiments.

Thank you for sharing the idea, it's such a cute thing to imagine sksksk. Plus, I should probably develop Bee's story more sksksk so thank you for that reminder too.

[fleuriquill]

I was reading your Royal SG Primes au and lemme tell you I'm hooked

Out of curiosity, what would happen if Alpha Trion was also obsessed with Sentinal as Zeta was? I know that in this au Orion is actually a Zetasen Sparkling and he didnt know about it. But what if it was intentional for Orion not to be seen as Zetasen's Sparkling, if AT was just as obsessively fascinated with Sentinal as Zeta was with him? Perhaps it was probably to save Sentinal from the public view but to also have him as their precious caged canary.

For me I think it would be 10x worse for Sentinal if he caught not one, but TWO Primes attention. (Poor Sen that mech does NOT get a break 🥀).

I just wanted to know what is your opinion about it! I'm curious on how you'll answer this

Hi!

Admittedly, I am very strict when it comes to ship pairings. I usually never stray from the ship I prefer. Which is my own flaw as I am very stubborn and it takes quite a bit to convince me to look at another ship/dynamic in any other way than what I have already settled on.

Also not helped that I am a little iffy nowadays with ZetaTrion as a ship, even with another character in it, cause it just reminds me of a bad past experience with certain somebodies.

But I don't mind answering, so feel free to continue asking in the future sksksk. Thank you for the ask!

Honestly, the concept of ZetaSenTrion is fascinating to me cause like lowkey I do imagine baseline Alpha Trion as one of baseline Sentinel's haters or at least he was one of the Primes who was a little skeptical about Sentinel before the coup, so the thought of pairing him with Zeta who I personally think would defend Sentinel and genuinely thought Sentinel was loyal is so funny sksksk.

But in the case of the SG Royal AU, while Trion canonically doesn't really give a damn about Sentinel. Like not even as the so-called "other party," a part of him is actually grateful towards Sentinel since he created Pax and I stated before that as bad as SG Alpha Trion is, he does genuinely care for Pax in his own way unlike Zeta.

So in the scenario where both Alpha Trion and Zeta are obsessed with Sentinel. It's definitely a difficult situation since Zeta likes to confine the things he loves, while Alpha Trion is more willing to let things be free so long as he gets entertainment out of it. What I can see is AT essentially duping Sentinel into doing things because he's bored, and poor Sentinel later gets the brunt of Zeta's wrath since Zeta is never gonna harm Alpha Trion.

But yeah, that's how I think it would play out in such a case. But otherwise, Alpha Trion and Sentinel have no romantic connection in the SG Royal AU because I'm stubborn like that sksksk. Nothing wrong with the ship though, I'm just stubborn.

[fleuriquill]

Question does sentinel still make a deal with quintessons in sg!royal au?

Nope! In this AU, he works with the SG High Guard.

The Quintessons here are still babies protected by Quintus so they aren't able to help out.

[fleuriquill]

(Sorry in advance for my poor English) Recently, I saw a video that mentioned that parrots can inflict self-harm if they live in poor conditions (if the cage is small, if the owner doesn’t pay attention, and so on). I like the idea that Cybertronians are somewhat similar to animals (for example, a motor purrs like a cat's purring), and that Seekers resemble birds. So, if SG Megatron is captured by the Autobots (SG Optimus) and starts to inflict self-harm (like scratching off his armor, for example), how would Optimus react? I mean, would he be pleased by the suffering of his beloved enemy? Would he know about this trait of Seekers, or would he not understand what’s going on? Or perhaps he would decide to change in order to make things better for SG Megatron? Or maybe other options

Hi! And no worries, your English is good sksksk.

Okay going to reply under a do not read since this ask does contain heavy topics.

Oh my god those poor parrots... I didn't know that they do that but well I suppose that's what happens if they end up being owned by a terrible owner.

And yeah, a lot of people I know in the fandom love Cybertronians being very animalistic, especially in like Bayverse since they tend to be the more strange ones among the continuities so I get what you mean.

As for SG Megatron being captured, I suppose it really depends on like when he does get captured, like what mentality SG OP currently is in. Cause there is no world, and I'd argue there is no continuity version of an SG OP who would be ignorant to this particular trait of seekers. A majority of OP's origins tend to be him being an archivist or at least being very knowledgeable, so unless seekers were hiding this particular trait for some reason, then he would have no excuse as to why he wouldn't be aware. The closest SG OP who may genuinely not know is like... SG TFA OP maybe (?). I have not watched the TFA series so I'm unsure if like seekers are exclusively warframes or what, but like if they are, then it would make sense why SG TFA OP wouldn't know cause I doubt the SG Autobots would have that type of info readily available to the general public.

But at any case, SG OP could either change or just double down. It really depends on his mentality.

I'll use two examples of the canon SG OPs for this.

I believe SG FunPub OP would probably attempt this on the hopes that he'll just be able to convince Megatron overtime to feel happy with him. But eventually, when it's clear that's not gonna happen, I can see him letting him go.

For SG IDW OP, I think it would highly depend on when he captures Megatron. If he captures him far earlier on, then he's not gonna give a damn if Megatron is self-harming or hurting himself. What matters is keeping him with him, regardless of whether Megatron is happy or not.

But if say Megatron is captured after their fight on earth and Megatron's self-exile, I feel SG IDW OP would have softened enough and hold some guilt to let him go/change for the better since he understands what it's like to lose Megatron... And it's not a life he wants for himself.

[fleuriquill]

Late night (well past midnight) scheduled post (in which we don't ask why I picked this random time because the answer is illogical sksksk).

So will be going on a little hiatus after I finished "In the Fractals of What is Broken" and won't get back into writing until the start of May (where I'll start my poll on what the topic for my birthday one-shot collection fic shoud be).

However, I'll still be around to answer some backlog asks (sorry I will get to them sksksk) and before I actually go on hiatus, I do plan to write two long one-shot fics before I go (yes I know what a hiatus means but it's hard skskks I love writing and writing is how I relax sksksk but I need to go on a hiatus to reset my sleep schedule sksksk). This is cause I will be deleting the old version of "In the Fractals of What is Broken" and my unfinished SG Primes as Eldritches fic because I can't stand looking stupid at them sitting there being unfinished.

But I'm stuck on the topic of which two one-shot longfics to write so I will do a little poll here. The top two will be written while the remaining will hopefully be done at a later date.

One-Shot Longfic

Apocalypse AU (Dee and Prima-centered)

Dee meets Cov Megatronus

A Different Shade of Purple (SG IDW OP ends up in SG FunPub)

Isekai Sole Survivor Prima

Undercover High Guard AU

SG Vampire AU

Swap AU... sort of

Voting ended onApr 14

And explanation down below

Apocalypse AU

A friend and I were recently talking about apocalypse scenarios and ohhh I can't help it sksksk I also would like to write one, even just a one-shot cause apocalypse stories are just so peak. This one will be centering around Prima and Dee. It's a platonic yandere fic because I can skskskks. It's technically based off SG Primes as Eldritches but this time it's just normal Dee rather than SG. And there's no Pax here. I just want to explore how Dee would handle traversing an apocalypse while he's being stalked by optic-like beings. Def not a zombie apocalypse but an apocalypse scenario.

Dee Meets Cov Megatronus

This is me punting Dee to the universe of Covenant of Primus because I want to. So he ends up meeting Cov Megatronus who is lonely and outcasted by the other Primes, but to Dee it's different cause Megatronus is like his idol and he's just so in awe to meet him even though he would like to go back home. Megatronus meanwhile is just so fond of this "sparkling" he found and while he does understand Dee is from another universe, he decides he'd rather Dee stay than return him to what clearly is a cruel universe (since Dee is cogless). Another platonic yandere fic.

A Different Shade of Purple

So in an old account, and you could probably still find it lmao, I initially planned to write a fic where SG IDW OP ends up in SG FunPub sksksk. That fic has long since been abandoned but a friend was talking to me about something (I won't spoil) recently and I thought back to this AU and decided to maybe consider actually writing it again. This will be horror, because I'm just the embodiment of misery for the SG continuity as you probably are used to by now lmao, and focus on SG OPMeg sksksk. But yeah that's the whole premise, poor mathematician SG Megs gets a worse SG OP lmao.

Isekai Sole Survivor Prima

So in this one, I'm going to punt my Sole Survivor Prima into another universe sksksk. The universe he ends up in is similar to TFO but here the original Thirteen Primes are like long gone and are mostly just stories of myth. Sentinel never did a coup so Cybertron just kinda went on. Like imagine a universe where nothing bad ever happened essentially sksksk. The story will be in sparkling Dee's POV as he deals with the sudden monster (Prima) that has decided to live in his closet. The premise sounds like crack but it should have some horror in it sksksk.

Undercover High Guard AU

So I had an old idea of like the High Guard just deciding to suck it up and pretend to be loyal to Sentinel after the coup so they can dethrone him from the inside. In this scenario, Starscream accidentally ends up adopting Dee and it's just them trying to navigate how they're going to stage a coup while also raising this random sparkling they are now in charge of (it's somebody's fault, *cough* Skywarp *cough*). Definitely the more happy fic idea among the choices cause it's really just family shenanigans since I won't be focusing much on the coup lmao.

SG Vampire AU

I had an old SG vampire fic that I deleted (sorry) and I wanted to explore that again. So I've said previously that "vampires" are a form of sparkeaters but they feed off of energon. They don't necessarily need to feed off living mechs, since they can feed off of raw energon, but since the cogless miners moved deeper underground where they lived, they got a new source of food. Sometimes they turn miners by mistake but this is mistaken as an illness by the medics or those miners are killed by the vampires that accidentally turned them. SG Pax is a vampire and he's trying to turn Dee... But he can't.

Swap AU... Sort Of

I love swap AUs (says the SG lover) but I wanted to write a one-shot exploring baseline OPMeg but swapped. So Megs is still his angy little self and OP is still his good self, but their roles have been slightly swapped. The premise for this particular one (cause I have an idea for IDW OPMeg too but that one's a bit more complicated) is that TFO Megs decides to fuck off after the movie and ends up crashlanding on earth and staying there, overall just actually getting to like Earth. Cue a few thousand years later, OP arrives and... Well, let's just say he doesn't have good intentions even if he acts nice.

[fleuriquill]

You know I didn't know you could tie first place in a Tumblr poll but this is perfect sksksk. No you will not loophole me and say I need to write three now cause I previously said I'll be taking the top two or something sksksk. So the Apocalypse AU and the SG Vampire AU won so that makes me happy sksksk. Glad to see everyone is just letting me write the horrors. Thank you, I will continue to write unhinged Prima and SG OP (I do not need to write unhinged cause that's already a given for him) while putting Megatron/Dee through the horrors :3

Also an additional note cause I forgot to add in the original post, come May I will also be starting my SG TF:One AU fic cause it was what won in my other poll. Don't worry I didn't forget sksksk. I'll be posting a chapter of it per week cause I want it to be a longfic and I think one chapter per week is good sksksk. So yes, thank you and I promise to upload the last two chapters of my current fic soon sksksk give me time I lowkey forgot to post the 11th chapter and unfortunately it hurts to post it past the time I set so I have to wait sksksk. But it will be done, then I will write my Apocalypse AU and my SG Vampire AU and go on a little hiatus before May sksksk.
