    Summary

    Drift was into spiritualism these days. Mainly because Autobots weren't nervous around a bot who was discussing his beliefs; and a bit because he thought he might find something to help him atone for the lives he'd ended one by one. But all those millennia he'd happily murdered away, he'd only been trying to catch up to Hot Rod's kill count.

    Hot Rod had been described by Decepticon High Command as ruthless in his willingness to fight the New Senate's corruption—he'd slaughtered his own home city so Zeta Prime couldn't have it. Had Hot Rod joined the Autobots instead of the Decepticons to run from Nyon? Had it helped?

    Drift didn't need to ask to know it hadn't.

    Hot Rod—now Rodimus, after an intimate encounter with the Matrix—would ask, "So, what do you believe in today?" with a smirk like it was a joke; and then he'd listen with genuine interest to the answer.

    Sometimes Drift—Drift, who had spent most of his life sure that he'd sooner rip out his own Deceptibranded spark than ever follow someone who called himself a Prime—was tempted to say, "Today, I believe in you."

    Summary

    Ratchet has had enough of the Lost Light and enough of missing Drift. There's a simple solution to both: leave and find Drift. But watching as Rodimus is brought in to look at his own corpse without so much as a warning leaves Ratchet with a choice: he can leave and hope everything works itself out or he can step in. And Ratchet has never been content to leave things up to the universe when there's something he can do.

    AKA Ratchet asks Rodimus to run away with him to look for Drift and they go on a road trip together

    Summary

    She traces the prominent ridge of her collarbones, avoiding the flat chest below as she tortures herself with her own reflection.

    "Fag."

    That's what he thinks of her.

    It's not a surprise, by any means whatsoever, but it is... It is...

    It's a cold shoulder, muttered remarks, a refusal to look her in the eye, and the disgust the overwhelms his expression when he sees the pansy shell she's trapped in.

    He hates her.

    Well, at the very least, he hates him.

    But there's no way in hell someone like him could ever smile at someone like her... He doesn't even know her.

    Summary

    “Stay on the line,” Bruce says, like it’s easy. “Tell me.”

    Dick looks at the phone and he can’t get the word out. Words like, Hey. Um. I'm a little scared. I can't stop, and there’s this sick-feeling here, basking against all my organs that will never be small enough. It’s in every thought, every mouthful.

    Or instead, he says, “I can't eat.”
