Do the LL mers migrate like other fish?

I believe the mers are more advanced than regular fish and have evolved past the need to migrate. During the war they didn't have the luxury to migrate so they had to adapt to staying in whatever environment is needed. The Facility is probably somewhere tropical and warm like Hawaii. They like where they are but occasionally during mating season they'll go somewhere private for their eggs.

Ok but picture this; younger reader (about 19) gets cheated on by her human boyfriend/girlfriend and is heartbroken. How would the Lost Light pod help her feel better?

Forget about the mers someone hold back Ratchet!!! XD

Megatron deals with it like a responsible adult. He bands them from you’re and Ratchets workplace and files a restraining order. He’s satisfied with his work that Ratchet gladly helped him with and sits in a tank in you’re house listening to you rant about you’re terrible ex with a serious face. When you’re calm he pulls you in for hugs and hums you a tune before you fall asleep.

Rodimus is furious! But readers so pretty and nice and always cares about them!!! Who’s stupid enough to let her go??? He starts ranting to you about how horrible they are and you’d defend them and say you’re horrible but you’re to busy laughing and smiling.

Drift is upset someone would hurt you and ends up holding you close while telling you stories of mers and landers who hurt him and how you made him trust people again. It’s a day full of tears but also healing something he finds hard but good for you in the end. Expect lots of cuddles and churring.

Ultra Magnus surprisingly suggests a party having done research about what humans enjoy. The facility was in the progress of being made but wasn’t built yet so they decide the area would just be on Ratchet and hers private beach. They have a good time either on land or sea depending on who can do what and he watched (Y/N) have a good time so to him it was worth it to mess around for a bit.

Rung distracts you while the parties being set up and the mer takes you to a sea cave full of hanging broken bottle glass. Whirl and him stay in the water and talk to you for a couple hours and make you feel better. The sparkly glass above you’re head creates beautiful pictures. Rung consoles you about you’re breakup and Whirl makes you laugh as he cracks jokes to see his favorite lander smile and make sure you feel better.

Swerve is a major help setting up the party and is all smiles and laughs as he tries to make you feel better. Skids starts dancing to some lander music Swerve picked out and you have a great time being spun around on the dance floor as you dance.

Chromedome finds you’re ex surfing to impress another girl and tips over his board many times. Rewind filmed the whole thing and they show it at this party making everyone laugh and they see you smile feeling better about yourself for the failed hookup on his part.

Cyclonus after the party gently sings you to sleep. Tailgate is cuddling you both and it ends the perfect party on a good note.

[half-mer-child]

But what if a human started to flirt with reader and the entire Lost Light pod went NOPE and just... started cuddling with the reader right on the spot to make the other human go away.

Talking with the new guy I smiled up at him. He was nice. Laughing at a corny joke he said I thought I heard a growl but said nothing. Walking with him to his section if the building I felt water and stopped before we were both drenched.

“Whirl what the heck?!” You shout looking up at him dripping water. He snickers and sinks to the bottom of the tank. Groaning you let it be. “Sorry about him.” You apologize blushing. He smiles and shrugs it off. You smile back before you feel a grip on you’re arm and suddenly you’re in a tank being carried away. Sputtering as you stare at a mass of mers you yelp as you’re pulled into a giant cuddle pile.

“ours…” You hear many rumbly purrs say. Rolling you’re eyes you just go limp knowing you won’t be able to shake off you’re clingy friends.

“happy.” You respond making them al churr as you’re nuzzled by multiple happy mers. 

[half-mer-child]

Ok, exactly how many and who are In love with the reader and why did they start to love her?

Okay that’s a lot just because it’s fun. XD Honestly everyone loves the reader it’s just different types of love.

See her as a pup

Cyclonus and Tailgate are that cute grandma and grandpa in the family. Okay Tailgates the cute one Cyclonus is that grandpa that was in the Vietnam War is old as dirt and will kill you if you hurt this child. They are the one happiness other than Tailgate he has. Let him have this. This child can make him laugh and smile and Tailgate gets so excited. Let him finally be happy. Please. Tailgate just loves everyone and your so nice and don’t treat him like a child and he just loves you so much.

When you were about ten you met both of them. Cyclonuses tail was stuck and Tailgate wanted you to go away thinking more landers would see them. So he starts panicking chirping at you to leave. Cyclonus is hissing at you but you go under water get a rock to level the old boat up pried the metal off of Cyclonuses tail and he begrudgingly let you lead them to some secluded rocks where you examined his tail and fixed it. Ever since then you’ve had a protective adopted grandpa that watches you on the shore making sure you’re safe who’s always ready to pull you away from any sighs of danger and a fun grandma who visits you to get cuddles and love on his favorite human.

Chromedome and Rewind will always see you as a cute pup even if your an adult. They met you after being attacked and you saved Rewinds life making Chromedome forever grateful and now they forever wanna protect you. You tell them really they don’t need to but it’s to late. They’ve imprinted on you and love you so much.

Ultra Magnus. He’s one of the uncles of the family and sees her like he sees Verity. He likes to sun bathe with you. Laying back on the water he keeps you on his stomach and lazily flicks his tail propelling you around. If he sees dirt on you any at all if you’re not working he pulls you into his tank keeping you in his lap as he grooms you’re hair.

You meet him when you were maybe six and a half just brought in by Ratchet and you got lost. You’d been playing giggling and running through the​ water now you can’t find home or Ratchet and you start crying. Magnus was patrolling and surfacing he heard your cries. He swam closer and in a soft voice asked you to calm down. When you looked up eyes wide with tears his heart breaks. He calms you down, you describe you’re house to him and he leads you home where a frantic Ratchet is searching. Magnus tells Ratchet to be more careful and disappears under the waves but now whenever you go swimming you see him somewhere nearby making sure you don’t get lost again. You’ve called him Mags or Maggie since you were a lil girl.

TFP

Optimus sees you as a pup. Honestly whenever you smile or laugh it just brings him back to the golden age when pups were everywhere and he loves that you bring that euphoric feeling back now that the war is over. Maybe there’s hope for this new age.

He met you through Ratchet since when Ratchet was younger he helped his pod and they have an old lasting relationship. Meeting you after you’re adopted from his friend Optimus falls in love with you! You’re so cute! You’re like a lil pup! Ratchet always finds it endearing when his old friend grooms you fussing over you’re health and such. His visits are far and few in-between with the pod and such but he makes it up with stories and gifts whenever he visits. Making sure to stick around a couple days before leaving with a promise to return when he can.

See you as a friend

Drift sees you as one of his best friends! He used to have a crush on you when he was littler but as time went on he developed feelings for your dad. Seeing that he really liked you’re father you try setting them up thinking they’d actually make a good couple, Drift couldn’t be more indebted to you for that because in mer culture it’s very important for the pup to love their carriers/creators potential suitor as much as the person their suiting. He becomes you’re very overprotective friend making sure you’re never in danger. He loves you! He doesn’t quit see you as his pup but he does see you as someone who needs to be loved and payed attention to much like a pup.

See her as part of the Pod Whirl loves you sure. But being a part of the pod? That’s so much better! Your apart of the family. Sure these suckers aren’t as good as the wrecker pod but there cool. You met him while scuba diving and he tried taking your shells as a prank. Chasing after him you agree to give him half if he helps you search for more. He watches you from afar after that but when he hears of F.F.M he wants to see more of you and cause a little chaos!

See her as a mate

Getaway

Getaway wanted reader out of spite at first but now sees her as his mate and holds their friendship closely her being one of the only people that seems to love him for who he is. He likes how soft she is and hows she’s a halfer to! There so alike!!!

He met her at the facility and has just stuck close to her ever since. He wants to protect and love her before.

Rodimus met you when you were kids and you both were fast friends. He’s seen you as a partner since you were a kid and will always think of you in that mindset as well as friend. He’s gonna have you. Getaway can screw off.

A love/hate relationship

All of the Quintessa’s gang. She’s a scary one when she wants to be. Trained in hand to hand combat and having strength that rivals most she is someone not to take lightly. Of course everyone ignores the fact that she cut her ties from that life and doesn’t get involved with them unless she absolutely has to.

[half-mer-child]

I just imagined somebody telling Pharma and Tarn that nearly the entire lost light pod is trying to court the reader and they just go NOPE! NOBODY IS TOUCHING THEIR PUP!

To late my friends. The Lost Light is a pod of very needy mers. They all want to nuzzle or cuddle reader she’s just so soft! And so nice! And they’ve never met a lander who’s so close and connected with the ocean. As for relations? Tarn and Pharma become the biggest cockblocks for all the mers who try and court reader. Second only to maybe Megaton or Uncle Megs who will rip you a new one of you even try. The DJD have a hard time excepting how much their pup is loved and will kidnap her ten fold now. Only their aloud to hold and nuzzle her. No one else!!!

[half-mer-child]

Reader is actually the true leader of the Lost Light pod since everyone listens and respects her. She does not know this but it's a well known fact among the mers.

Headcannon excepted. Poor reader had so many responsibilities and she doesn’t even know about them. XD Rodimus does more of the actual tasks of leading but readers starting to wonder why she’s always being asked so many questions about the Pod. Your in the Pod??? Stop asking her things she’s working.

[half-mer-child]

How does Pharma and Tarn react when they learn that Overlord have their daughter and is obsessed with her?

Not good. Eventually The Lost Light rescue her but she’s unable to talk for weeks since that thing Trepan forced her to eat made her stop. Tarn sneaks into the facility and gently holds her hands. He sees what’s wrong and tells her everything will be okay. He slips back out to tell Pharma what happened. Tarn and Pharma have a little talk with the two deceptimers and Tarn puts some names in his head to add to the list if they ever touch his adopted daughter again. Pharma can’t wait to see his daughter and hug her holding her tight. The next time he sees her he’s not letting go.
