I was over the moon when I saw the new chapter uploaded, and again when I saw that you mentioned me in the final note. I squeaked so many times today. Aaaah! I love this story so much!
I couldn’t immediately start reading when I saw it because by then it was morning and I had work, so I spent the whole day sitting on hot coals just waiting to get back home. And then I first over flew the 13th chapter again, even though I kinda know it by heart now, and then I finally read it… IN ONE GO! I read for hours on end and I was never happier before.
We love you too AJ-Parker94, you are an amazing author, and my favorite one too.
I am happy to give you all this little comic plus fan-fiction to it.
I love little stories like this.
She had a good morning today.
Her mother made her a typical american breakfast, bacon and eggs. She usually puts cereal on the table, wich is fine! Y/N loves cereal. Nothing better then fruit loops, right? Anyway, she ate up, finished her orange juice, and put everything in the dishwasher. She then went up to her room to get her backpack, wich she had already packed with all the things that she needed for the day. Including her phone that was ringing right now.
The caller ID said: Optimus. She picked up. "Morning, Optimus." She happily greeted him. "Good morning, little one." He answered. "How are you at the moment?" He asked, genuinely caring for her wellbeing. "Good actually, mom made a amazing breakfast just now, so i’m all energized for the day." Y/N told him.
"I am glad to hear it." Replied Optimus. "I am currently parked outside your house. You can join me when ever you’re ready, there is no hurry."
"Don’t worry, Optimus, I was already grabbing my stuff. I’ll be out in a minute."
"Understood, I will see you in a bit, little one." They ended the call and Y/N went downstairs. She walked past the kitchen where her mother was putting away her own dishes. "Bye, mom. I’m going out with friends, love you!" She said as she headed for the door. Her mother turns around and called after her, "By, honey, love you too. Be back by curfew!"
"Ok!" She said as she put on her shoes. Doing so her cat walked up to her purring and stretching. She gave her a few pets and a quick cuddle. "And I of course love you too." She said to her, set her back down on the floor, and went outside, closing the door behind her.
As soon she was out of the house she headed straight for Optimus. He popped open his passenger door for her, letting her climb inside his cab. Once she was seated he closed it, and started driving when she had buckled herself in. And off they went to base.
The drive wasn’t too long, just ten to twenty minutes. Once there she got out of Optimus‘ cab and went up the stairs to the human area, while Optimus transformed and took his spot at the main console station.
Once at the top of the stairs she saw that Jack and Raf were already there, siting on the couch playing the good old racing game. "Hey, Jack, Raf, who’s winning?"
Jack looked at her with a deadpan look, as if someone had spit into his pancakes for the 100th time. "He is." He simply said with a monotone voice, that told her he wasn’t too happy about it, while pointing with his thumb over his shoulder at Raf.
Raf just smiled innocently.
"Again?! Ok, that’s it. What’s your secret?" She sat down next to the boys as she questioned Raf. "No secret, just skill." Raf answered smugly.
"Now your just rubbing it in." Jack said. "Well, at least I can still beat you and Miko some times." "Don’t be so sure about that." Y/N said in a singsong tune.
A moment later, Bulkhead drove into the base with Miko. Well, 'speak of the devil and he shall appear', Y/N thought. She heard bulkheads door open and Miko stepping out, together with four little taping foot steps and exited barking.
She looked over to the boys and asked, "You heard that too, right?" They nodded, both having confused and slightly shocked faces. "Yup" answered Jack.
… the three of them rushed over to the railing. And yes, Miko had really brought a dog to the base. A dog she was currently trying to calm down. Unsuccessfully. Jack, Raf and Y/N walked down the stairs and halted in front of Miko to meet her new companion. Even Optimus came to see from what the unfamiliar noises were coming from.
Miko looked at her friends just as excitedly as the dog. "Hey guys! My host parents told me to watch there dog for the day." She explained. Y/N looks down at the dog, it’s caller had a golden painted tag on it with the name Rex engraved into it in bold letters.
"Really? That’s so neat! Hi buddy…" she held out her hand to the dog so he could smell her in greeting. Rex sniffed her a few times and then started barking at her aggressively. Y/N flinched back since she didn’t expect him to suddenly bark at her. Optimus, just as startled, reacted and quickly scooped her up of the ground making her yelp in the process. He held her protectively to his chest plating. Y/N quickly tried to reassure him that she wasn’t hurt.
"Optimus, it’s fine, he didn’t do anything." But Optimus was only watching the still barking dog while Miko tried to hold him back. "Rex! No! Stop!" Tho it was of little use.
"Miko, I would appreciate it if you could keep Rex from acting hostile towards anyone in the base." He said with a serious expression. Y/N once again tried to reassure him that all was good, having an idea of what the situation is. "Optimus, it’s ok. He probably just smelled my cat‘s scent on me.
Optimus stilled and looked down at her in his servo confused. "I’m sorry?" He said. Asking her to give him more insight on this
"Some dogs don’t like cats", she explained, "I hugged my cat before we came to the base, her smell most likely stuck to me. Rex probably freaked out because he thought I had a cat with me."
Optimus took a moment to process. "… you are saying that Rex wasn’t hostile to you, but your cat’s scent?" Y/N nodded. "Yeah exactly."
Optimus looked back down at the dog. Miko had already succeeded in calming Rex down with the help of Jack, and Rafael. He then looked back at Y/N and nodded, "In that case I do not see anything wrong" he said and gently lowered her back to the ground. He couldn’t fool her, she knew he was still tens about what happened. So when she was back on the ground, she went over to Rex to show him that every thing was alright.
She came closer and Rex started to bark slightly again when he smelled her. But Miko corrected him. Then when he sniffed her hand again he didn’t bark but liked her hand. She took that as the go to pet him, and he enjoyed the affection thoroughly.
Y/N looked back up at Optimus with a smile on her face. "See? All good." Optimus visibly relaxed and gave her a tiny smile of his own.
I hope you had fun reading it, thanks for doing so.
Just (Y/N) being very curious about Optimus‘ work or saved Iacon Archive entries, and Optimus making sure she doesn’t hurt herself accidentally.
I love this dynamic: young, adorable, sometimes stupid + old, wise, overprotective.
It was a quite calm day at the base. Wich is surprising, normally the deceptions always find a way to disturb our peace, or Miko would sometimes play around loudly on her guitar. (Luckily for (Y/N) she forgot it today.) The Other kids and their Guardians were out today, probably on joyrides… in Miko‘s case dune bashing.
(Y/N) enjoyed the quietness in the room, with only Ratchet’s occasional Tinkering in the Medbay and Optimus‘ tipping on the console at the main computer. On wiches shoulder she is actually sitting on right now.
She decided to finish her assay for school instead of watching TV or something, "Better than to waste time I guess." she had thought. And no place better to do that than about 20 feet of the ground… yup, nothing wrong with that.
It did get boring at some point tho. Writing an assay isn’t exactly thrilling, especially with her topic: How pebbles are made. Ugh!
So she started getting interested in what Optimus is doing. She looked at the big screen in front of both of them. It was filled with cybertronian Letters. He was reading something, maybe a report from one of the others? She didn’t know…. but she wanted to find out. She tried to read it, even tho she didn’t knew the language, but of course didn’t get a single word out. Maybe if she squints and gets closer to it? Yeah! That’ll help for sure.
She squints, she leans towards the screen, and…… nothing. Dang it!
That’s when Optimus noticed what she’s doing. He puts his servo in front of her and gently moves her back a bit.
"Don’t lean forward to much, little one, you might fall." He says.
(Y/N) gives him an apologetic and kind of embarrassed look, having bin caught looking at his stuff. "Sorry, Optimus, I just wanted to see what you were reading." She explains.
Optimus looks at her questioningly. "You… tried to read it?" Optimus asks her. She nods her head. "Why? You do not know the language."
"I know, I just… I was kinda bored and didn’t knew what to write on my assay anymore, so I tried entertaining myself by… deciphering it." She says, shrugging her shoulders a bit.
Optimus thought for sometime. "This is one of the Iacon Archive records I had saved," He tells her, "if you would like me to, I could read it too you. Afterwards we can try and finish your assay together."
"Thank you, Optimus, I’d like that. Tho I have to warn you, my assay‘s topic isn’t really exciting." (Y/N) says.
"I am sure pebbles are more interesting then they let on." Optimus says, surprising her with it. "Wha- how did you-" "You are not the only one who has taken a look at other people’s work, little one." He tells her with a tiny smirk on his faceplate.
He then started reading the Iacon record to her after she had made herself comfortable against his neck cabling.
This is my very fist Tfp fanfiction and fan-art. Also my very first post here on tumblr.
It is about my deceased Cat, Kitty. I imagined Optimus listening to me just talking about her non stop, and him, the gentle-mech that he is, doesn’t mind the slightest and finds it adorable.🥰
Thought it would make a great little one-shot.
So, here you go.
Optimus one day noticed (Y/N)‘s bracelet, and asked why it had a tiny bell attached to it.
(Y/N) told Optimus that it wasn’t actually a bracelet but a cat collar, and that the bell was there to prevent cats from catching and bringing home their prey. Optimus asked why she was wearing it if it was a cats collar.
She got a sad look on her face. She tells him that her cat named Kitty died one and a half years ago, and that it was a big loss for her. It still is.
She had bin wearing her collar ever since the day Kitty had past away, and only takes it off when she’s taking a shower or a bath. She missed her dearly, and will never stop missing her.
Optimus looks at her empathetically, having had countless of losses himself. He comforts her, brushing a single digit over her back and caressing the top of her head. Saying: "Everyone’s time comes eventually, we cannot control it, as much as we’d like to. The feeling will never get easier, Little one, but with time we learn to live with it."
"Thank you, Optimus. I needed to hear that." She says to him. She looked up at him with slightly glassy eyes, but with a smile on her face. Optimus gives her a small smile in return. "You are most welcome, Little one," he says "I find it endearing how you carry a little part of her with you at all times. It is a sign that she was very important to you, and always will be."
Optimus then got an idea on how he could lift her mood a little bit.
"Would you perhaps like to tell me a little bit about your feline friend?" He asked. (Y/N)‘s smile grew until it reached her eyes. She took a deep inhale….and started to chat nonstop about her little beloved cat. With Optimus listening to every single word.
I really do wear her collar 24/7.
I hope you enjoyed reading it, thanks for that by the way.
