Transformers fans! If you like transgender headcanons, damning indictments on the state of revolutionary spaces, and medium-fast burn romance that's really a slow burn, Hot Allostatic Load may be for you! Act now, because Chapter 5 just went up!
No, Swindle didn’t like Starscream, but she’d long accepted that she didn’t get justice. She wasn’t the kind of person people would care about, not before the war and for damn sure not now.
Helplessly, she wondered if she’d been made that way or if she’d constructed her own berth by being… her. Maybe a bit of both.
But wait, there's more!
If you're interested in some backstory and speculation on the genders of Old Cybertron and worldbuilding touching how things fell apart, check out Build In The Gaps and Disposability Alchemy, both stories that explore disposability in revolutionary circles and how deeply traumatized people express comfort and safety to each other in the only ways they know how.
Note: Chapter 5 of Hot Allostatic Load has an explicit sex scene at the beginning.
