have a snippet of a fic that suddenly grabbed me by the throat (ps feel free to ask me about it đ)
âWelcome to Kaos Repairs,â he said as he stepped out of the back, hoping that he had the correct amounts of clothing on. Humans were strange about that. âWhatcha need?â
Breakdown blinked at the seeming empty room from behind the counter and disappointment swelled in him before he could stop it. Just the wind again, it seemed.
Then a tiny, so very tiny, hand reached up and gripped the counter, big blue eyes appearing over the edge a second later. Breakdown blinked again.
It was a human sparkling. He had only ever seen them from a distance before. Primus above, how were they that small?
âExcuse me,â the sparkling said carefully, like it had to practice the words. Breakdown could already feel his traitorously soft spark soften. âI need something repaired.â
Breakdown smiled, and he seemed to get it right because the human didnât run screaming like the last one he smiled at did. âWell, thatâs what I do. What needs it?â
this is set several years before the events of TFP, pre-KOBD, with Breakdown seeing Kid Jack and basically going "is anyone going to adopt that" even tho he already has a parent in the picture. i'm vibing hard with it so far
