My god I love your harem universe. Especially the Autobots and Decepticons having little piss fights over their precious human!
Now I’m just imagining poor Thundercracker and his “secret” crush on the human and how infatuated he is. Like a big love sick puppy
I can see him trying to shyly woo the human, possibly finding out where the human lives (from Skywarp cuz he couldn’t keep his mouth shut from his trine), sneaking over at night when they’re sleeping and doing something cheesy like throwing pebbles (small rocks) at their window to get their attention.
Poor guy probably fumbles and is blushing and he would just be so darn cute trying to ask the human out!!
I love thundercracker so much, thank you for this.

Thundercracker knew he shouldn't be here, he knew it well too, if the autobots won't have his head then the other decepticons would, the very thought should stop him in his tracks.
But here he stands just outside your habsuite, he's not sure what humans call it, but it looks nice, and is further away from town so he won't run into more humans, just you. Just you is all he wants, yes he's seen the footage Laserbeak caught, yes he watched it over and over and over again, imagining him as your lover.
Yet his spark yearned for something more.
You seemed so sweet, so funny, so considerate, that maybe, just maybe he'd have a chance with you, you already have s bunch of lovers, what's one more, right? He couldn't face you, but what could he give to make you know he wanted you?
Each morning when you'd awake, ready to head back to the autobot base, there would be quite the gift waiting for you.
First it was a big thing of energon, something you couldn't drink, though you've tried.
Next it was a massive geo cluster that had you in awe, you could barely manage to get it into your house, it was half the size of you! Next were some large sunflowers, root, dirt, and all on your porch.
A part of you wondered if you should ask around base, but maybe that would ruin the surprise? Or maybe it'll get them paranoid that someone else wants you, you don't feel threatened so you don't mention it.
It's not every night, but it's every other weekend, so it makes you wonder what their schedule is like.
Thundercracker can't believe himslef, he's like a sparkling all over again! When had his spark last pumped like this? The nervousness that ate away at his confidence, his anxiety rising each time he snuck away from the ship, and landed a little ways away from your habsuite, just as he's done every other weekend.
Walking as quietly as he could, making sure the groun beneath him crunched very little, he made his way up your driveway, ready to place yet another gift of flowers at your doorstep. His red optics look around, stopping when he saw the other flowers he gave you planted in your front yard.
You liked them! His wings twitch behind him, fluttering happily, he can't stop the smile forming on his face plate.
He looks at the very delicate flowers in his servos, the plants nearly as tall as the last bunch he gave you, but in reds, purples, and pinks, maybe you'd like the variety more? He hopes, he can already feel his spark racing.
Thundercracker carefully lays the flowers on your porch, making sure they are neat and out of the way so you won't step on them. He leans back eyeing his work, pleased with himself.
Your planet has many weird resources, but he's happy to have found something you liked! Normally on cybertron he would've found and gifted you shiny metals, or maybe even rare ones.
He wonders for a moment if you'd like an aerial show, and let him show off for you? Nah, that's too much, at least for right now-
"So you're the one leaving gifts for me."
You have to bite back a laugh as the giant bot jumps, flinching at the sound of your voice. His optics wide and staring at you like a deer caught in headlights. There you stand on your roof, in your sleep wear, with a tired smile.
Thundercracker tries to control himself, but little does he know he wings are giving him away, shaking as he calms himself.
"Oh..I..uhh..I didn't mean to wake ya?"
His face plate is heating up, flushing a deep blue from the energon going to his helm.
"You didn't wake me up, I was staying up in hopes to catch you. I was wondering who was leaving me these things."
Oh Primus, he made you miss a rest cycle? Frag, he feels so bad.
"Thank you."
.....huh?
You smile once more, chuckling at his baffled expression.
"Thank you for the gifts, it's very sweet of you, Thundercracker."
You wish you could take a picture with his stiff his body gets, how his wings wiggle up and down, and just how adorable such a normally intimating con could be.
You knew his name, you remembered him! That means you think of him, right? He could melt right where he stood, he could offline right now and die happy.
"Don't mention it." He carefully sits down on yout lawn, allowing his face to be more level with yours, "On Cybertron it was common practice, mostly for us seekers, to gift items like this."
"To start a courtship, I take it?"
You can't hold back laughing now, nearly wheezing at how he sputters and trips over his words trying to explain no but yes, but also-
"How did you-"
"Wild guess, but your reaction was too cute."
He's going to die, this is how it ends for him, the cute human he's taken with flirting with him.
"I wouldn't mind."
Truly you wouldn't, you know your agreement with the autobots, they all agreed to be your lovers and not fight over who else you date, but you'll have to have a talk with them about at least Thundercracker.
He seems so sweet under that gruff exterior.
Even if such a big scary con shakes under getting a few compliments.
