Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Blackguard, Mixracks Relationships: Parent/Child Additional Tags: Hurt/Comfort Summary: Blackguard discovers that her homeworld, Gigantion, has survived the rust plague and races home to reunite with her caretaker. Author’s Notes: I just really wanted to write some post-war/post-plague fluff for Blackguard. I focus too much on the bad things with her and I needed to do something good for once.

A small bell rings over Blackguard’s head as she opens the door and she lets out a soft hum as she looks up at it. The new addition to the shop is as cute as it is amusing; bright and shiny, the edge was trimmed with a line of little cars that looked suspiciously familiar, and the clapper was shaped like a wheel. Blackguard quietly laughed to herself. Typical.

“I’ll be with ya in a nanoklik!” His voice echoed from the back and her visor brightened. It’s him. She marches up to the counter, to excited to hide her pedefall from him. If he could recognize it after all these years then he was doing better than she was. If not, then that would make the look on his face that much sweeter for her.

Mixracks walks out of the backroom, wiping his hands with an oil rag.  "Heya, sorry ‘bout th--” His optics widen and his jaw drops. Her visor brightens up even more as he carefully sets the rag down. “Blackguard?”

She chirps at him (or, at least, she tries to chirp but instead makes a garbled, staticky noise) and reaches over the counter, pulling the carozzi up and over and into a hug. He yelps, then laughs joyously and does his best to return the embrace. Slowly, her grip around him tightens and Blackguard begins to shake as a choked sob slips out of her vocalizer. It’s really him.

Mixracks quietly shushes the aquilae, stroking the back of her helm as he hums old lullabies she hasn’t heard since she was a youngling that make her legs buckle. Another sob slips out and Mixracks yelps as Blackguard falls to her knees. “Shh, shh.” He strokes her helm harder, wraps his arm around her tighter. “I know, kiddo. I know.

“I’ve missed you too."
