Summary:

There was very little hope to be found within the Darkmount cell. What there was, Optimus clung to, for as long as he could.

I feel seriously emptied of inspiration lately (WHAT COULD BE GOING ON HMMM) and the prompt for this one really helped me get the engine going, so I mention, I would totally love MORE prompts if anyone had them to toss out and didn't mind the extremely great likelihood that in fact what happens is I disappear for another 19 months of radio silence and when reappearing turn up in a completely different fandom six places over. ;___; I MISS YOU GUYS

la la la it's the consort fic that ALL OF YOU WANTED FIRST, lol <3

Summary:

“And what’s the price for a Decepticon leader’s help these days?" Optimus said. "Head of his captor on a pike?”

The Councillors started falling over each other hurriedly protesting, no, no, of course not, how could Optimus think, never—and Megatron laughed over them all and said, “It’s not your head I want to mount. I have demanded you as my consort.”

“Okay, well, that’s—unexpected,” Optimus said, blankly.

OK! The voters have spoken (well, they HAD spoken and then Swindle caught up, but TOO LATE because I was already doing the last bits of proofreading on this one)! Feel free to keep voting, I have a lot more of these to go, lol.

Wow, I didn't realize how completely I'd fallen down on cross-posting here. Why doesn't just THINKING about posting something cause the post to happen? :P Anyway, the most reliable way of getting new story notifications is to subscribe to me on AO3 since everything is getting posted there, but in the meantime, to catch up:

Transformers (all of these are Megatron/Optimus):

Project Bang (7400 words)
Ratchet shrugged tolerantly when Optimus asked his opinion. "I think it’s more a lark than anything, but we can all use a lark, now and then."

Peacemaker (27,000 words)
Megatron just stared at him through the cell door with a strange expression and didn't say anything. "Well?" Optimus said, half furious and desperate. "Will you promise not to hurt any Autobots escaping if I let you out?"

Yes sorry there is STILL no robot sex in this one, ha ha. But there is totally an underground dance party! And the robots will totally do the deed in the next one. :P

In the last six weeks I have written about 60K of pro fic and 200K of Transformers fanfic because that's how things go around here. *clings to firehose blasting in all directions*

Anyway I have not let myself actually post any of this fic until I finished my book, because I could not afford the time to sit around refreshing comments like one does, and so I now have four basically finished stories and I offer a ticky poll in case you would like to help me decide which one to post first, which I get to do because I finally delivered my manuscript whoo:



PS: I am lying, tbh what I seem to actually be doing here more or less is retelling Those Who Walk Away From Omelas, except with more explosions and giant robots having sex, which I think no one can really argue doesn't represent a significant improvement over the original.

Anyway, I have a lot of feelings about Transformers and here they come! Fair warning. :P
