    Summary

    Ratchet leaves the Lost Light to find Drift. They return together during Dying of the Light, with much changed between them.

    The miniseries Empire of Stone tells one possible story of how they reunited. This is a different possibility...full of all the things I wanted and EoS didn't give me: romance, character continuity and a grand sci-fi journey home constantly waylaid by adventure.

    Summary

    Ratchet's been looking for Drift for several weeks. To make matters worse, he's started dreaming again - and reliving memories he's tried to bury.

    (A sequel to Observing Drift, but I think it stands quite well alone)

    Summary

    Ratchet, CMO of the Lost Light, has to assemble a medical record for every bot on the ship. One bot in particular is being very stubborn about this.

    Each chapter, we see Drift and Ratchet interacting in the present day and Ratchet struggling to cope with Drift's idiosyncrasies. Then we dive in and see how Drift came to be that way through a series of flashbacks. Overall, the story is a story of a fragmented life, lost loves, and seizing happiness wherever you can - juxtaposed against a present day slow-build friendship.

    Summary

    “Sure. I wouldn't want my favorite client to feel alone.” He chuckles as he steps away, turning. It's far more efficient for him to lead, given their height difference. Megatron settles a servo on his shoulder, clasping their servos together while he courteously holds the mech's hip strut.

    “I'm your favorite client?” Megatron's gravelly voice sweetens, syrupy as if charmed.

    A quiet confession meant for only his personal reference. But, it's already too late anyway. He can curse his engex heavy glossa in the morning. They're at a gala, for Primus sake. He can relax a little. “Yes…I…suppose you are. At the very least, none of my other clients discuss poetry or literature with me.”

    Megatron tilts his servo to spin him. “Is that the only reason why I'm your favorite?”

    Scoffing, he raises an optic ridge. “Fishing for compliments, Megatron?”

    A deep chuckle rumbles through his own engine from their proximity. “Perhaps. I made an effort tonight. It'd be nice to be noticed by my favorite advisor.”

    -

    Or, Optimus grows into his designation, learns what it means to love and be loved all while being a functional alcoholic. Chaos ensues.
