Summary:
Nightingale was just a young seeker when Soundwave took him in, and it wasn't long after the war had started when he was also taken under the literal and metaphorical wings of Starscream. All seemed well, but a cybertonian war isn’t really the best place to grow up— being torn away from his friends, slowly losing the little bits of family he has left, never really knowing who he can trust, and to top it all off, dying in an incident with an experimental portal that left him with powers unlike anyone on Cybertron had ever seen. Why does this kind of stuff always happen to him?
And it comes with a podfic which you can watch/listen to here:
