Jan. 9th, 2020 10:19 pmTitle: Frame of Reference
Universe: Transformers AU
Characters/Pairings: Prowl/Sideswipe/Sunstreaker, Optimus/Jazz, Megatron/Soundwave, Perceptor/Drift, Ratchet/Starscream, Autobot Ensemble, Decepticon Ensemble
Rating: M
Enticements: Sticky Interfacing, Angst, Moral and Ethical Quandries
Description: When Drift falls ill, a dive into his coding reveals a secret the Senate tried to bury, a secret that has altered the course of the war since before its inception. Burdened by the truth, the Autobots try their best to set things right, but in the process, Prowl is forced to face his own involvement in the matter – for better or for worse.
Part Two
It’s a toss-up who’s more exhausted, Perceptor draped on the side of Drift’s berth, head pillowed on his abdomen, fingers of one hand tangled with Drift’s.
Or Ratchet, whose back aches and head hurts and every time he shutters his optics, he sees lines of code streaming through his internal viewscreen. He feels like he’s going to be dreaming of code for weeks.
His shift has been over for hours. He doesn’t dare stop. He lets Perceptor recharge, because it’s obvious Perceptor hasn’t had much of it since Drift fell ill. Ratchet, however, can’t bring himself to stop.
There’s an answer here. He’s sure of it.
