A Request or nutshell summary: since we had crossover/interactions of G1 Ironhold, TFP/RID Ophelia, & LL Fearless. What if Ironhold & Ophelia & their conjunxes (Rumble & Steve) meet each other & also Alabaster Lapis (Fearless' crush)?
This was a very requested ask. Let the siblings hear the catfishing news!
Hope you enjoy!
Ironhold and Ophelia hearing about Alabaster (FT. Fearless, Rumble and Steve)

MTMTE/TFP/RID/G1
It had taken a while for the crew to be okay with Alabaster visiting Fearless.
Most understanding both mech and human sides.
Megatron took especially longer to get used to Alabaster being alone with Fearless.
He refused to leave the pair within 5 feet from each other in the beginning.
Now the ex-warlord has tolerated the bot being around… just not a fan of the PDA…
Whirl has had to be restrained several times.
Will slap the bot in the back of the helm at any given chance.
Alabaster and Fearless were getting better.
A slow friendship with little friendly touches and inside jokes.
It was good.
Almost like it was before the reveal.
The mech had just left the ship when the portals had opened.
Out fell Ironhold, Ophelia, Steve and Rumble.
Fearless: “Ironhold! Ophelia!” Ironhold and Ophelia immediately got up hearing their interdimensional sibling call out. The human waved at them with a wide smile on their face. Ironhold and Ophelia: “Fearless!” Fearless jumps into Ophelia’s arms while Ironhold holds them both. Rumble and Steve just look around confused. Fearless notices the other mechs. Fearless: “Who are they?” Fearless gets put down as the siblings stand by their respected partners. Ophelia: “Steve, my Conjunx Endura.” Ironhold smiles a bit. Ironhold: “This is Rumble. My Conjunx.” Fearless hops down from the hug and looks the mech up and down. Fearless: “So you two are my interdimensional brother in laws?” Rumble: “What?” Steve: “It’s an Earth term.” The human stops looking at the mechs before giving their siblings a cheeky smile. Fearless: “Well, if you two thought they’re marriage material, then that’s fine by me. Though I do have to admit, it’s kinda hard seeing strict Ironhold with rule breaking Rumble.” Rumble: “Hey!”
Fearless led the couples to Swerve’s.
Conveniently, the entire Rod Squad was sitting there when they entered.
Reunion time.
Ironhold had many firm pats on the back and side hugs.
Ophelia was being passed around in hugs.
Megatron smiling at both his other children taking note on the fact they were a bit older since the last time he saw them.
Older, but happier.
Soon enough the other bots notice Rumble and Steve standing side by side awkwardly.
Time for some introductions!
Megatron pats Steve’s shoulder a bit hard. Megatron: “Steve it is good to see you.” Steve winces a bit at how hard Megatron patted his shoulder. Steve: “Yeah its good to see you too sir.” Megatron: “Please, just Megatron is fine.” Steve nods a bit fully knowing it was going to be a while before he would be comfortable calling him ‘Megatron’ without ‘Lord’ being in front. Old habits die hard. Rodimus: “Wait is this the mech that stole Ophelia’s spark?” None of the crew had actually met the afformention ‘Steve’. Only based off of Megatron’s last visit. Ophelia nods proudly at her Conjunx, while Steve shrinks a bit under the numerous judgmental optics now boring into his helm. Team Prime was less intense than this! Thankfully there is someone who breaks the ice. Swerve smiles at him. Swerve: “It nice to finally have a face to label the name! Any engex strangers?” The bots turn down the offer. So far everyone seems to be getting along just right. Rumble chuckles a bit ruffling Fearless’s head. Rumble: “Looks like everyone here has a Conjunx except you Fleshy.” Ironhold looks at their Conjunx with a slightly stern voice: “Rumble—” A number of groans interrupts the larger bot as the mood had soured. Most noticeably Fearless looked sheepish and borderline flustered. Fearless: “Well…” Ironhold: “Sweet Primus…” Ophelia: “You have a Conjunx!?” Steve: “Who is it?” Rumble: “Yeah, I haven’t seen another human around.” Fearless: “… Promise me that you won’t overreact and sit dow?” Ironhold raises an optic but nods as they take a seat next to Rumble. Ophelia flashes them a concern look as Steve drags her to a seat. Fearless: “It all start when I went on the internet.” Whirl: “Never want to start a sentence like that.” Fearless: “Whirl, not now.”
Fearless told the four bots everything.
From how they met Alabaster.
How they started developing feelings over time.
Their meetings on Earth.
Finding out about his secret.
Being catfished and the pause.
To finally, talking things out and starting over.
Rumble is confused.
Confused on how it was apparently weird for a bot to have a relationship with a human in this universe.
He was 98% sure that Powerglide was dating a human and so was Tracks.
Heck, Rumble was sure he heard Thundercracker talking to Skywarp and Starscream about human relationships.
Why was it so weird for the bots here?
Also, the lying part, still doesn’t get it.
If you’re going to be with someone, one of the bare minimum things you have to do is be honest, right?
Steve had a bit of a processor ache.
The whole thing was something that Denny would watch in his free time.
Not that he watched it too.
Yes, he was a bit angry.
The bot purposely fooled his sibling in law.
But at the same time, he had to take the different rules of this world into consideration.
If the prejudice of humans was worse than he thought, then the bots worries were valid.
Did that excuse the behavior? No, it didn’t.
He knows there could have been other ways to deal with this, he just knows it.
Ironhold is tense the entire time.
They hate that their sibling had to go through such a difficult time… but they also understood Alabaster’s fear.
Now while human relations were nothing new in their world, in this one it was a different story.
Now were they going to lecture their sibling on dating?
No.
They are just glad there is a ‘good’ outcome from all this messy drama.
Ophelia was furious.
The look of anger never left her face once Fearless mentioned the holoform.
The anger is fed when Fearless mentions the pause and some other bots pipe up and mention how depressed they looked.
She didn’t realize she was gripping Steve’s servo hard until he tapped her shoulder and quietly gestured his servo.
Ophelia immediately lets go and flashes an apologetic look before getting right back into the story.
This bot had purposely fooled her sibling and led them on for who knows how long and got off with a slap on the wrist!?
Ophelia wants proper justice to be served on the mech who hurt her sibling!
Ophelia: “Fearless where is Alabaster right now?” Fearless: “Oh he left not too long ago.” Ophelia: “Can we call him to come back here?” Fearless: “I mean I—wait why?” Ophelia: “I just want to talk to him.” There is an edge in her voice that suggests that it wouldn’t be for a simple chat. Fearless: “Oh but he is defiantly gotten far enough—” Ophelia turns to Megatron and Rodimus. Ophelia: “Can’t either of you two call his ship? Or turn the ship to follow him?” Both Co-Captains have an unsettling feeling. Rodimus: “Oh you see the thrusters are acting up, so that’s a no go.” Ophelia: “Is there any other way we can get him?” Fearless suddenly feels worried for Alabaster’s safety… again. Fearless: “Ophelia he’s not that bad once you get to know him.” Ophelia: “Fearless he lied to you!” Fearless is a bit taken back by their normally calm sister, raising her voice. The bots around did not want to make the connection of Ophelia’s new anger looking a bit like their Megatron’s face. Like Father, like daughter even across dimensions… Ironhold: “Ophelia I understand your point but there is also—” Ophelia gives her taller sibling a pointed glare, as if daring her to continue. Rumble is shocked to see Ironhold back down from the glare. Time to defuse the situation! Steve pulls her to his lap, earning some side glances, and places his helm on top of hers. She knows exactly what he is doing. Ophelia: “Steve, no…” Steve: “Lia…” Ophelia’s hostile mood slowly simmers down until she slumps against Steve Steve: “Feel better?” Ophelia: “A bit…” Everyone else: “…” Fearless, Megatron, Ironhold and Rumble: “What the—"
New rule in interdimensional sibling visits.
When Ophelia gets Megatron angry, get Steve.
Megatron is strangely proud that Ophelia has this glare.
Does it scare him a bit that it was like looking into a mirror? Absolutely.
How does that even happen anyways?
They weren’t even from the same universe!
But then again it also didn’t look like him angry, but still did…
This wasn’t worth the processor ache right now…
Fearless made a mental note to never leave Alabaster alone with Ophelia.
In case he came over and she was around.
But hopefully that wouldn’t happen…
Right?
