   Summary

   / If this was what death felt like, Drift wanted no part in it.

   His body seemed as if it couldn’t decide to stay awake. His head burned. What the hell had he done this time?

   A grumble across from him made Drift snap up, leading to a jolt of pain in his chest. He forced his eyes open and found himself face-to-face with a frown. He barely registered anything about the bot besides the red cross markings on his upper arms. Shit. /

   The sad, angsty, but kind of sweet story of Drift and Ratchet beginning with the first time they meet and continuing through with their lives on the Lost Light. Drift has to deal with his past as an ex-drug addict and Decepticon, while Ratchet has to work on realizing how much he truly cares about the whole crew.

   aka the dratchet storyline across more than meets the eye with a few fav characters sprinkled in as well (shoutout rodimus).
