canon transformers stuff keeps making me sad lately, and the real world is too sad already for that to be very fun at all for me, so I'm thinking I'm going to dust off my tf OCs and just write some self-indulgent happy garbage maybe the fighting only just finally stopped and the husbands are going on a vacation together. they're celebrating the end of the war even though their faction lost, because if the Autobots aren't going to cart them all off to be executed or anything then they're going to get right to work building the rest of their lives together. If peace is really happening they're going to make the most of it maybe that one really cheerful friendly guy isn't really gone. surprise surprise he may be a coward but he's got a strong spark and a will to survive, he pulled through after the supposedly fatal crash and got patched up by one of those 'I don't care who you are i'm just trying to save everyone I can' types. defected immediately once he realized nobody would be chasing him down for it if they thought he was already dead. Finally opened up that bar he wanted out in a well-defended neutral system with an organic majority, lots of people there don't trust cybertronians but he's on his best behavior and even they can see that he's really not going to be a threat. He doesn't leave when the message comes that the fighting is stopped and everyone can go back to Cybertron. Yeah he misses his trinemates and worries how they're doing all the time, he misses Cybertron too. But this is the kind of life he wanted, meeting all sorts of interesting people and not having to kill any of them, doing something he actually enjoys. he's happy now, and frankly a little terrified that the war being over is too good to be true. But suddenly cybertronians of all sorts are a little more common around here, passing through on their trips back home. he owns one of the only bars that serves them in this system so he gets a lot of business, and a couple very familiar faces just walked through the door. there's some disbelief and confusion and maybe a flash of anger or two, but it ends in a lot of smiles and a long group hug that feels more like coming home than going back to cybertron ever could listen I just want cybertronians to be happy and safe ok. and I want decepticons who maybe aren't thrilled to have lost, but are still glad to take the chance to do something else with their lives. decepticons who aren't complete monsters, or who at least don't want to be ever again
