    Summary

    "Exactly how much do you remember. Right now, this second?" Brainstorm asks him. He turns the empty glass in his hands, spinning it faster and faster as the silence stretches out. His eyes look haunted.

    Chromedome can't answer.

    Too much, probably.

    -

    Chromedome and the New Institute.

    Summary

    Whirl doesn’t bother to online his optic. The thick heavy sludge filling his lines and choking his vents and warping his plating from the weight of it- well, there’s just no point in looking. He’s the only one who can see it, after all.

    Summary

    Ratchet tries desperately to feel anything for the poor spark. Regret, sorrow, fear, anything but sickening relief at realizing it’s not one of his own. This mech probably had friends and family too, people who will miss him, who will be destroyed at finding out he met his end here on the dirty floor of a ruin where an Autobot and a Decepticon played at being more than enemies. Yet, here Ratchet is, barely able to see past the purple emblem on the mech’s cooling chassis. He has never felt more disgusted with himself.

    What has this war done to him?

    “We can’t do this,” Ratchet tells the darkness, scrubbing a servo over his face, begging himself to cry or scream or do anything to show he hasn’t completely lost himself. “We can’t keep doing this.”

    Summary

    The door cracked open silently. A shadow crossed the floor, hard to make out from the corner of his optic, and disappeared as the door hissed shut once more.

    Megatron sighed, leaning back against the berth. “Soundwave, I told you I want to be alone.”

    An amused hum came from a darkened corner of the habsuite. Megatron turned sharply and flicked the lights of the room on.

    Deadlock winced as he lifted a hand to shield his optics against the sudden light. “Damn. Would have thought you had enough of sitting in the dark.”

    “Drift?” Megatron said faintly.

    -

    Or; years after the Dead End, Megatron and Drift get a chance to speak.

    Summary

    Drift thought he'd seen everything down in the Dead End. What he hadn't seen as a skiv he'd seen as a streetmech, and what he hadn't seen as a streetmech, he'd seen as a gun-for-hire. Then he receives a job offer with a bounty too large to ignore. The mark? Megatron, as in "electron", as in the bomb. A miner, from Tarn. The crime?

    Poetry.

    Or: Four and a half million years ago, a bounty hunter from the Dead End met a miner who fancied himself a poet, and that alone changed everything.

    Summary

    Misfire's been doing the talking for both of them for years; Grimlock's fine with it by now, but he still makes an effort to communicate. Even so, most of what they talk about is stuff they already know.

    Note: takes place in some alternate continuity where things have ended but nothing too big has happened, so we can have a nice peaceful denouement and no one's stuck in alternate universes/the past/other timelines/I don't even know.

    Soft Memory Errors

    Soft Memory Errors is a re-examination of MTMTE Drift/Deadlock's character, in an attempt to fully utilize a character built from interesting concepts with patchy (or non-existent) execution. What started as a one-off drabble turned into this series when the 2020 quarantine left me with a lot more time on my hands than I anticipated. The series title is a reference to the computing glitch soft memory error, as the series has a recurring theme of fragmenting memories and the residual processor damage Drift sustained.
