Bee of the Ball

Summary:

StarBee royalty AU

Bumblebee is the crown prince under Optimus Prime, the matrix-wielding ruler of Cybertron. Bee’s smaller frame has been feared weaker, so he had been sheltered by all his caretakers. They don’t trust him to even venture out of the palace, but the Decepticons are coming to Iacon soon!

Starscream is a prince-one of three-members of the Decepticon court. His brothers and the high ranking commanders assisting his father are a pain to be around. They’re dead weight holding him back from rising to the throne! If he could just gather support for his rule, perhaps his father would see reason!

Notes:

Hahahah Ive done it again

This came to me in the best daydream, I hope you all enjoy

ALSO BIG BIG NOTE:No bot is related to each other biologically, Bumblebee was adopted as was Starscream. MegOp occurred pre-this fanon, but the bitter exs put differences aside for the betterment of their kids

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Prelude

Summary:

This is just exposition dump Srry lol

Chapter Text

Long ago, Cybertron was willed into existence by Primus.

The planet bursted with life, but there was sharp division between the two primary nations.

However, when the great threat of the Quintessons reared its head, a truce was called. The war was destined to destroy their shared home if they didn’t comply with one another.

Two leaders, whose past was deeply linked, rose together to defeat the invaders.

Megatron of Kaon, became the Decepticon empire’s head through his military might. His court was filled with great warriors, undying loyalty sworn to the warlord.

Optimus Prime was bestowed Primehood and the legendary Matrix of Leadership, therefore giving him rule over the Autobot nation. Many allies have chose supporting the Prime for his visionary of a peaceful Cybertron.

Now the conflicts are relatively settled, yet the respective royal families are anything but calm.
