I feel like past weaponsmith y/n and Yoketron (mostly y/n) would gags so hard if they learn that their future sells are married/sparkbonded (y/n is pissed upon learning they're the one that got pregnant and not him).
VERY MUCH CANON.
weaponsmith Y/N wanted to be the one to spark HIM. not the other way around!
also yeah, the younger trainees, the good old dojo buddies version of them would not be happy to learn that they ended up together.
Yoketron: "THEM? WHY THEM? THEY'RE THE MOST ANNOYING ONE OF THEM ALL!!!"
he has a sense of superiority for being the dojo prodigy so the fact that they ended up with the novice runt??? the most annoying one at that??? the one who constantly tries to prove that they're better than him??? HELL NO! JUST BECAUSE HE FINDS IT AMUSING TO BE AROUND THEM DOES NOT MEAN THEY LIKE THEM! (he's gonna figuring it out the hard way)
also i think Yoketron was like a complete 180 in his younger days cause considering a draft dodger was sent to the Cyber-Ninja Corps to become one, its safe to assume that mostly rowdy & law breaking mechs are the ones to end up there. i like to think of young Yoketron as a prideful hotshot, not snappy or witty— very formal but a HUGE show-off. he cringes whenever he thinks of how he used to be like 💔
You: "YES ALSO WHY IS HE SPARKING ME? WE ALL KNOW IT WOULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND!" *Yoketron deadass side-eying them so hard rn*
You: "AND— wait... I'm not a Cyber-Ninja???? WHY AM I NOT A CYBER-NINJA?"
they were deadset thinking they would be a Cyber-Ninja only for them to end up being more fascinated by weapons. has no idea what the future holds for them.
i love this sort of silly rivals to lovers stuff sooo much ouugghhh if you asked me to explain why and how much i lover rivals to lovers, i could give you a 6k word essay.
So about the potential of Weaponsmith being cyber-ninja!y/n's carrier. Im sure you know I've implied their carrier is dead once or twice before you know what I meaaaan?;)
My idea is that Weaponsmith!y/n either died delivering their sparkling or a decepticon killed them after they have cyber-ninja!y/n (still a bitlet so they couldn't remember much about their carrier. Also, imagine Yoketron losing both of the most important bots of his life, with cyber-ninja!y/n being killed in the Lockdown-protoform incident).
Im telling you this purely to torture you/hj and REQUEST<33
Yoketron having sparkbonded (finally) to Weaponsmith decided to start a family. Only for him to lose the love of his life, all he have left is his baby and he swore to protect them (he failed, yet again).
You could just do only the first half of him losing his conjux if you want. One shot or hcs is your choice yet again.
(Take all the time you need, you don't have to do this request if you don't want to either. Take a break if needed!)
[TFA] ♡ "DEATH IN THE FAMILY" Yoketron HCs
i will kill myself in front of you </3 i have the permission to gutwrench and hence i will not hold back at all. yoketron & you have your own special WARFRAMESSS for this silly, totally fun filled chapter!
scenario: is a happy ending too much to ask? with the creators being me & @cheschesterpossum? yes, yes it is.
warnings: heavy angst, established relationships, you guys have a kid
— Yoketron doesn't talk much about you after your passing, it was and always will be an emotional subject for him for as long as he lives. Though, he's learnt to speak of it now without having coolant sweel up in his optics now. He often has nightmares about that day. So when your now grown bitlet asks him what happens to you, his vents stop for an astrosecond as he memories hit him again.
It was supposed to end quick.
"I'll defend the Forge." You say with conviction, it weight of your words in heavy and Yoketron pauses, thinking over every possibility of leaving you there as he and his students hold off from the entrance. He stands across the table with weapons laying on them.
"There isn't a mech who knows that place better than I do."
The air is tense, a discussion between the two higher officials of the Dojo takes place in a secluded room, away from the audials of any prying novice— The atmosphere is suffocating even, especially with the looming threat of a Decepticon Siege of the Dojo.
The Northern Front of the War between the Autobots & Decepticons get closer and closer to their location; knowing the Decepticons, it wouldn't be surprising that they would attempt to siege the Dojo— Considering all the weaponry and protoforms the place holds, it is without a doubt, a valuable Autobot stronghold. The Dojo is where some of the best soldiers for the Autobot War effort has come from— Dai Atlas, Drift, Star Saber & Ultra Magnus himself were all a part of the Cyber-Ninja Corps at some point— The Dojo is without doubt, crucial to the war effort. Not to mention the contributions of The Forge to the advancements in energy melee weapons and blasters. If the Dojo and its adjacent forge were to fall into Decepticon servos, it would mean a new generation of Autobots along with eons of Cyber-Ninja techniques, weapons craftmanship, and tradition would be gone.
Why did end up the way it did?
"You will not leave alone." Yoketron stands firm, to let you go by yourself is unimaginable to him.
Your optics narrow at him, oh how he'd wish you could look at him like that just... once more. He can tell you're not too pleased, the way your optical ridges furrow down is enough—
"Someone has to guard the protoforms." The truth leaves your vocalizer like one of your finest blades through a test dummy. Yoketron reassesses the situation and with a heavy vent:
"You shall remain at the forge and I with the protoforms," He finalizes his decision, he remains incredibly focused at the task at hand. His servo gently holds onto yours, tightening their grip and bringing them up as digits intertwine.
"But my students will aid you." He says softly your forehelms touching as he looks into your optics, you have that smile on his face. His words are firm, leaving no room for questioning.
It hurts to remember how sweet it looked knowing it would be the last time he'd ever see it.
— Yoketron goes dead silent as he remembers it all. It was unfortunate, he was so caught up in it. Trying his damned hardest to push back against the Decepticons who tried to storm through the front gates, trying to make sure none of his able bodied students were to fall in this battle for they still had so, so much more to live. So young and so much more to experience.
He doesn't know what happened afterwards, he remembers seeing a few Decepticon frames leading to your shared quarters, where your little one stays rests, far too young to remember anything of this. When he realized that a bunch of Decepticons managed to break through the Forge and even almost manage to make it to the cradle where the little one rests, he feels a surge of panic unlike any other. Fear in the rawest form as his spark hammered against its casing. Yoketron remembers the haunting cries of his sparkling, running towards those noises which are not to far away.
He should've been there with you! He had no mind! He was so occupied out at the protoform chambers. Successfully repelling the Decepticons and ensuring the safety of his students. He runs, the atmosphere is thick with smoke. You must've used those smoke bombs of yours... Yoketron stops for a moment, calming himself down as he tries to pinpoint the exact location of the crying. A deep ex-vent, the air smells of blaster fire. The loud noises from outside, the arrival of even more Autobot reinforcements to drive out the remaining Decepticons from the surroundings hinder his sensory systems, a battlefield is never quiet.
Yoketron instantly makes a dash when he figures out where its located and the sight before him makes his spark drop.
There you were, clutching onto your sparkling, his sparkling. You're taking heavy vents, vocalizer deeply damaged. Static sparks flickering from your throat cavity. Your servos tremble, there's a large gushing wound on your chassis, spark partially exposed and protoform visible beneath. You're losing so much energon, optics half-closing as your helm slowly turns to him.
Yoketron feels... frozen. Helpless. This was worse than any of the nightmares he's had. He quickly snaps back in reality as he sees the strain you put on yourself to approach him. Slow steps, barely managing to stand. Yoketron quickly moves towards you. Not saying another word— You need medical attention immediately. He takes the crying sparkling from your servos, cradling the child on one hand as he supports you with the other, the energon from your wounds seems to have spilled onto the sparkling, a momentary relief knowing that the child you share with him is not harmed physically but only time would tell.
"Hold on, please."
He's spent so many years pining desperately after you but those words were more desperate than anything he's ever said or done. The urgency behind them inexplicable. He can feel the warm energon from your frame leaking onto his... He cannot lose you.
— The sight, the memory of your wheezing from how badly damaged your ventilation system was, those haunting wails from your child and the fear of losing all together made that the worst moment in his functioning. He tries is hardest to not let those images haunt him. Then what became of you. Hooked to spark support for weeks, medics rushing in and out. And for a moment, just for a moment, he had hope. He thought there was a slim chance. A small chance that was good enough. But an exposed spark and partially destroyed protoform is not something any bot could easily recover from. The news of your passing was sudden, no weapon had hurt him more than those words did.
— The worst part? You fought your hardest to defend not just the Forge but the sparkling, your sparkling, the personification of the love you have for each other. He should've been there. Yoketron remembers how he tried to stand strong, tried to be optimistic knowing he had to take care of the young one regardless of your current state. He should've been there. Those words echo in his processor; he could've left the protoforms with Jazz, he should've sent more students with you. Some of them are missing as well... Most presumably Decepticon hostages.
— The weight of his failure that day served to... harden him. Had he been stronger, had he been more capable... Yoketron thinks it could've been averted. A good mech, the love of his life, a parent to their child would've still been alive along with those missing students. He hates to even think about what might've become of their fates. It haunts him, their faces, your face when he found you, those cries. During his grieving, Yoketron is a lot more silent. A lot more strict. He no longer gives those kind smiles to his students. Without you, it felt like a part of him had died. In a way, he never truly got over it. Every reminder he gets of you and of that day makes his spark ache.
— But he still had a child to care for and he will not let the last remnant of family he has fall into harms way.
He will never let a tragedy like this occur ever again. Never again... Not like it mattered in the end anyway.
I see request is still open, can I request some jealous Yoketron hcs (romantic)? You decide whether for it to be x Weaponsmith!y/n or not, I just really like your work.
I know you have a lot of drafts rn so no need to rush this one, feel free to delete if you can't do it as well.
Thank you, love your work so so much!!

[TFA] ♡ Yoketron Jealousy HCs
@cheschesterpossum hereeeeeeee you go! enjoy ur jealous old mech! this wasn't made with any particular Yoketron in mind just so you know. this is more in general also im sorry for how short this is... these crumbs are all i can give
scenario: he can't believe that he's jealous...
— It is not easy to make Yoketron jealous. It has to be something that implies that another bot is interested in you; whether its directly or not. He's a cyber-ninja, training how to control one's self and maintain discipline is one of the fundamental pillars of becoming a Cyber-Ninja, let alone a Dojo Master. So he tries not to feel jealous.
— If you two are not together and you have no idea about how he feels, he's just going to suffer in silence. A part of him is definitely embarrassed cause he's an old man and still gets jealous like this. He's definitely to deny the type that he's jealous in this scenario. A part of him knows its wrong to feel that way given the two of you aren't anything official... Maybe it would inspire him more to make a move.
— Now if you're his partner, then he's getting so much mixed feelings because he has complete faith in you and trusts you. So when he feels jealous, he feels guilty cause he knows you wouldn't do that! You're not the type to do that.
— In this case, he does... want your reassurance. He isn't in denial here, he's more needy in a way. Again, he knows you won't do that to him but... he just can't help it! Please tell him you're not gonna leave him. He hates being needy for reassurance. But he asks for it in a very subtle manner, never outright.
— Its kinda cute? But please don't tease him for it, he's letting out a resigned sigh if you do. He's subconsciously holding onto you a little tighter when you two are walking in public and end up crossing paths with the bot that made him jealous.
I have this image in my head that I can't get out, sparked Weaponsmith!y/n just refusing to rest while Yoketron having to drag them to berth.
Yoketron: FOR FRAG SAKE YOU'RE PREGNANT-
Weaponsmith: I NEED TO SMITEEEEEEEEE
(Ts so cringe bro how did i even start talking about mechpreg)
-Cheschesterpossum
canon.
even if they're injured or sparked, they would never rest for the life of em cause if all these reckless Cyber-Ninja trainees keep breaking their katanas!!! the novices are damaging the training weapons! they can't BEAR to see a good weapon just break like that infront of their optics. they need to make another... besides, its a war! they need more weapons either way!
meanwhile, Yoketron is trying so hard to get them to rest.
"Dearest, please... You'll just hurt yourse-"
"I NEED TO MAKE ONE MORE. Just one more!" but then they'll see how badly Yoketron wants them to just rest and they'll go silent for a second. "I promise, I'll rest after this one. Okay? I won't make another after this." they feel bad about making him so worried, they can see how much he cares through his optics and it really gets to them.
Yoketron is having a meeting with all his students about being more careful with forge weapons the next day.
@cheschesterpossum ALSO MECHPREG IS FUN TO TALK ABOUT SOMETIMES... like casually. a baby-on-board sticker for em from Yoke that they're to embarrassed to stick on them.
we all know that Weaponsmith reader is really strict toward their students. What about shattered glass Weaponsmith reader thơ? Are they threatening (i mean, i bet they're as much of an abusive teacher as sg Yoketron-) or even turned some of the students into weapon (aka offlining them)?
They're just so so cool dkeieuenejdjeej
HMMMMMMM
To be entirely honest, when I made Weaponsmith!Y/N, I did not expect a SG!Weaponsmith!Y/N concept to spawn. I won't lie... I don't really have a full fledged idea/storyline for em yet.
But their dynamic with their students is... BAD. Pretty bad. They believe in the idea that pain is the best teacher so I think they have absolutely no safety gear whatsoever when dealing with the hot furnace of the forge, they don't care if you get yourself hurt. All they want is a picture perfect final weapon. They're even willing to outsource terminated, offline frames for some extra metal... After all, a bot's frame is typically the hardest type of metals one could find :) even their own student's like how the wonderful @cheschesterpossum suggested!
And they don't care how their students source the metal required for the tedious task of weaponsmithing. To them, ethics is a barrier for efficiency. They're just as passionate as OG!Y/N but they are OBSESSED with it. Unhealthily. Even though they aren't a workaholic like the OG, SG is actively more fascinated with the idea of how their weapons are used for cruelty.
The idea that whenever they make something that a bot used to commit a heinous act swells their spark with joy.
The polar opposite of the reason as to why OG!Y/N stresses about their weapons, they want to make sure that bots are able to defend themselves. They want their weapons to be used for good, especially bots at the Dojo who are not as strong so that they could have a fair chance if they're being attacked (they get flashbacks of how they were like as a runt in the Dojo XD). Its why they're so hard on their students.
Basically, SG!Y/N is dangerously lenient when it comes to their conduct but not so much for their assignments, they're CRUEL with their assignments. I guess its a subversion of expectations cause you'd think being lenient was a good think but not in this field, hell no. Handling molten metal without any saftey gear? Near furnaces that go nearly a whopping 3000⁰C?? Almost melting your face off is a daily occurrence.
You can see why SG!Yoketron likes them. But they don't like their lenient conduct so there's a couple of arguments about how they run the place. They get PISSED when he tries to interfere in their forge matters so Yoketron is forcing himself to shut up and not say a word.
weaponsmith encounters them and they're visibly freaked out, they can see their insides! semi-concerned but also curious. why are they so small? where is their warframe? what are they doing out here? then they notice the Decepticon sticker
weaponsmith!reader: "...they'll hire anybody..."
boxjelly!reader: *frog blinks*
the weaponsmith remains hesitant, unsure on how to approach. they would 100% underestimate boxjelly. are they ever Cybertronian? doesn't seem like it. they knew the Decepticons have been desperate lately but-
boxjelly slowly approaches within the meantime and shocks them, leaves them there unconcious. a concerned Yoketron finds his weaponsmith on the ground, knocked out. he's actively fretting over them. who did this!?!?!?
