[Bay] War Without End - Drift

a/n: I will preface my posting of Drift's story to say that it is the one I had the most difficulty with. Not because Drift is a hard character to write, but because of the direction his story encouraged me to take. Drift has the pleasure of telling everyone the trials and tribulations of ensparking the hatchlings, wrapped up in that is the acknowledgment that he is in a relationship with Ratchet, something I've implied heavily but have tried to stay away from outright on-screen acknowledgment in an attempt to keep the fic mostly Gen.

Well, Drift's story puts that right out of the window.

I don't want to spoil too much but I will warn that Drift's story adjusts the rating from T to M. There will be attempts to enspark the hatchlings, including failed attempts, so this may be triggery for some. This is not mechpreg either. At least not by my definition of it. There will also be interfacing of the tactile persuasion, and some spark-play but not spark-merging.
