    Summary

    Having grown increasingly frustrated with the continual failure of its Primes, the Matrix has had enough of being passed around. Determined to pick its own Prime for once, the Matrix has set off to select its chosen.

    Well, it would be off doing that a lot more if it didn't have one young Orion Pax to take care of.

    Summary

    In the skies of WWII Berlin, pilots have reported sightings of a ghostly aircraft, a phantom jet eerily similar to the game-changing Messerschmitt Me 262's being developed in secret by Nazi engineers. While the Luftwaffe fliers see this "Ghost" as an omen of good fortune, one disillusioned German mechanic discovers the mysterious plane hidden in his barn, somehow disappearing and reappearing at random, and quickly realizes that, for this machine, there's more than meets the eye.

    Summary

    “Wait, Soundwave’s alive?” Knock Out jumps up, knocking an exam table to the side with a clang. “You can’t let him out! He’ll kill us all! And most importantly, he will definitely kill me for being a traitor,” he hisses.

    “We won’t let him kill you,” Ratchet promises, with perhaps an unwarranted level of confidence.

    Summary

    “I was an archivist, before all of this.” He answers, ignoring Rodimus’ surprise as he hesitates, for a bare moment. “Are you sure?”
    “When am I ever not sure?” Rodimus says with a snort, something more like his usual fire filling him up with a sudden brightness as he holds out a servo to shake, an offering and a second chance and everything he ever could’ve hoped for. “Welcome aboard the Lost Light.”
    Orion takes it.

    Summary

    “You’re on the Lost Light, we’re a civilian ship. Do you remember how you got here?” Maybe-Ratchet was staring at a diagnostic panel embedded in his forearm.

    The telltale whirring of another bluescreen started to murmur in his audials again. Orion frowned, throwing wayward and clumsy code at it haphazardly.

    “I merged with the AllSpark?” Orion mumbled, wondering if this Ratchet would also be mad at him for that, and then his processor shut down in an electric crackle of processor overload.

    Optimus Prime makes the ultimate sacrifice, merging the Matrix of Leadership with the Well of AllSparks to restore life to Cybertron. Instead of the peaceful end he'd wanted, Primus has other plans, and Orion Pax wakes up on the Lost Light. Stranger than what look to be noses on these Cybertronians' faces is the former warlord co-captaining this dimension-hopping ship: Megatron, radically different, and yet heartbreakingly familiar.

    Summary

    So, he clicks it. The Orion Pax in him is still making horrible decisions, Optimus guesses, because when he hears a sleepy groan and a “who the frag is this” on the other line, he realizes he’s made a horrible mistake.

    Optimus Prime accidentally calls Megatron in the middle of the night, two and a half weeks after their fight. They end up talking a lot more than they'd expected.

    Summary

    "Megatron is not numb.

    If he were, he wouldn’t feel the ice packed around him. He wouldn’t feel it dig and prickle into the seams of his armor. He wouldn’t feel the cold stinging at his joints and faceplates. He wouldn’t feel his inability to move, to curl even a single claw. And that, somehow, burns worse than the cold."

    Summary

    Reaching up, D-16 knocks his knuckles across Orion’s helm. Gently, of course. The stupid bot was damaged enough.

    “Go to sleep, Pax.”

    “But you have to listen to this! There’s this whole section–”

    D-16 sighs. Goes to lean against a slab that wasn’t his own. His spark spins, painful. Daresay calls it something like fond.

    or; before Megatron learned to hate, he learned to love, and it hurt more than any hate ever could.

    “You know, this is kind of poetic,” Prime breaks the silence. “Built for the mines, died underground, miserable throughout. You have to admit, it’d make a pretty tragic story.”

    You are a tragic story, Megatron doesn’t say.

    Summary

    The gray mech locked optics with him. The scrutinizing crimson, winged helm, large chassis, and angled shoulderplates all came together to form a powerful figure. Orion almost couldn’t equate this bot with the one who had been kneeling at Darkwing’s pedes just a few solar-cycles previous.

    Did he know..?

    “I know what you did,” the mech rumbled.

    “Ah.”

    *

    Megatronus is a miner, just trying to keep his numbers up, and his helm down. This becomes more difficult when he befriends Orion Pax– fellow miner, and self-described anti-functionalism-pacifist. Nobody could guess that their meeting would spiral into the most brutal and long-standing conflict in Cybertronian history.

    Summary

    Jazz and Prowl exchange a strange look, something that makes Megatron want to strangle them because he can’t decipher what it is. He pushes back the suspicion that they’ve caught onto his situation; it would be impossible for them to know. There is nothing different about Prime’s frame or processor from when Ratchet had scanned him during his forced berth rest. They cannot know about him.

    “If you need an extended leave, don’t refrain from requesting it,” Prowl says after a small pause. “That was quite a blow to the helm you took.”

    “A measly blow to the helm won’t deter me in the slightest,” Megatron snaps before he can think better. When he does think better, he reiterates to a wide-eyed Prowl, “that is, my helm is more than capable of taking a hit.”

    Jazz laughs at that. It sounds strained.

    “Sure,” he agrees, “yeah, sure. Hey, how many digits am I holding up?”

    Summary

    Optimus had proved to be a worthy opponent time and time again. He always sought to do his best to equal his rival. But now, he didn’t even have to try. Multiple slashes on his torso were oozing obscenely, his mask was smashed open, revealing his pink-stained snarl. He barely felt any of the pain. His sorrow and fear, his weariness were diluting out of his processor. Instead, anger combusted in his lines; the ember that had festered silently beneath the surface of his mind was turning into a frighteningly bright furnace. And beneath it all, there was the tiniest hint of ecstasy and shame that fused into a dizzying blend as his frame moved against its own screaming reproach.

    ~~~

    In a crude moment of lost control, Optimus finds himself caught between what he truly wants and what must be done. Megatron is more than willing to help him make his choice.
