O.

Romance has never been in Wheeljack’s repertoire.

Living the way he has, with the war and all, with the Wreckers, with life and death waiting around every bend -- he hasn’t much bothered with it. Didn’t think it was in the cards, as Miko would say. Didn’t try to chase it, didn’t seek it, didn’t let anyone else bother with it either.

Romance had its place, and its place is nowhere near Wheeljack.

Or at least, that’s how he used to think.

Now he’s got an apartment. He’s got a mech he’s gonna mate. He’s got a pretty collar sitting in a box, waiting to be clicked around his neck, and it’s perfect. It’s the closest thing to romance he’s touched in all his centuries of living.

But that’s starting at the new beginning. Wheeljack is a lot of things, but an improper storyteller isn’t one of them.

This romance, with its ups and downs and twists and turns, still has a beginning, like all the others.

Even if it isn’t a romantic one. ( Read more... )
