    Drift was forced off the Lost Light 18 months ago for a crime he didn't commit. When Ratchet finds out that he's innocent, he sets out across the galaxy to bring him back home. Once they're on the shuttle on their way to the Lost Light, he lets Drift know the real reason he came to find him, and it has nothing at all to do with Overlord. Drift: EoS compliant.

    Summary

    Ratchet lives by rules; of medicine, of order, of restraint. Drift lives by instinct, colors, and art. Their paths should never have crossed, and yet they collide inside a quiet studio lit by paint fumes and unsaid things.
    Every session leaves another mark on Ratchet’s frame, and on his spark.
    He tells himself it’s just art. Drift never pretends it is.

    ---

    AU where Drift is a tattoo artist/painter and Ratchet is the grumpy doctor who was talked into changing his color scheme

    Summary

    As the war’s final battles wage on Earth, a call goes out to Decepticons scattered across the galaxy to come join the fight. Deadlock, ever loyal, is eager to finish off what remains of the Autobot forces. Unfortunately, things never go quite as smoothly as he hopes.

    Or: I wanted Deadlock to be in TFP so there he is. Blend of IDW, Prime, and headcannon. RiD 2015 aggressively ignored. Dratchet/Ratchlock slooooooowwwwww burn.

    Summary

    Ratchet wasn't exactly expecting an easy ride when he set up his clinic in the Dead End. Wary locals, having to bribe officials coming and going, sure, whatever. But he also wasn't expecting to make friends.

    Summary

    Deadlock is going to end the war.

    Not because of any recently developed deep moral conviction against killing other mechs. Rather, from an outside perspective it’s starting to look like Ratchet might actually explode—like a ticking guilt bomb—if even one more mech dies in his med bay. And decidedly, if Deadlock is able to surmise this from the corner of the med bay they have shoved him in, Ratchet must be barely hanging on by a thread. And Deadlock has unfortunately come to the realisation that his world might truly collapse if Ratchet dies.

    The solution is obvious:

    Deadlock is going to kill Megatron.
