   Summary

   In the wake of the war, Cybertron’s leaders decide the fastest way to lasting peace isn’t treaties or trade agreements—it’s dating.

   As Crown Prince of Iacon, Optimus Prime is expected to set an example. As a Decepticon royal and brilliant scientist, Shockwave is expected to… comply efficiently.

   Unfortunately, Autobot courtship is slow, reverent, and emotionally loaded, while Decepticon courting is blunt, confident, and deeply uninterested in subtlety.

   What follows is a diplomatic experiment, a cultural disaster, and a long series of misunderstandings where one mech thinks he’s being proposed to and the other thinks he’s finally getting somewhere.
