    Summary

    The new guy coming into Martin's work keeps on pestering him, but it's fine because he's cute. With every shitty thing going on in Martin's life, a small flirt never hurt anyone, even if Jon is totally out of his league with his ripped jeans and painted nails.

    OR

    Martin, the new clerk at the corner store, refuses to sell Jon his cigarettes because he isn't old enough, and it would be "illegal".
    Thankfully, Jon is stubborn enough not to admit defeat. He just has to keep on trying.

    This isn't about the cigarettes anymore, is it?

    Summary

    “My Abuela said it,” Silvio insists. “She said you have to wear the hat, because you have a pale ass so you’re going to get skin cancer and die before Lance even wakes up.”

    Keith looks between the children and the hat, too confused to glare, sweaty and horrid from pulling weeds beneath the scorching sun. “What?”

    “That’s wrong,” Nadia complains, and yanks her brother down to her level to whisper the correction in his ear.

    “Ooh,” Silvio amends. “Tía Veronica said you have a pale ass. My Abuela said you’re gonna die.”

    OR

    When Lance is fatally wounded during their final battle, the blue lion enters a deep hibernation with Lance inside. Unsure when or if he’ll wake, Keith is forced to wait and watch over him in the company of the people he fears most: Lance’s family.

    Summary

    As he stood by the edge of the crater, looking down into its content, he heard Optimus’ words playing on a loop in his head.

    As he watched the colourful metal flinch in pain trying to move, he remember the horror stories shared by Arcee.

    As he saw the blue splashes of Energon on the arms, he thinks back… to looking at his poor brother every time he was in the hospital.

    As he saw the pool of Energon under the broken up chassis, he understood.

    He had never before understood his mom like he did now.

    Or

    Noah, after rebuilding Mirage after the fight in Peru, starts learning about Cybertronians and how they work, effectively becoming their human medic. But one crash landing later, and all his new knowledge will be put to the test.
