  1. Summary

    YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

    "So we can believe the big ones?"

    YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

    "They're not the same at all!"

    YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET— Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME... SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

    "Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"

    MY POINT EXACTLY.

    ― Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

    Summary

    There are servos on Megatron’s plating. Elita One’s hands, and Ironhide’s, and Bumblebee’s and Prowl’s, all of them required to remove him from the one place he needs to be – on top of Optimus Prime, beating the ever-loving scrap out of him, and replacing it with sense and loyalty.

    “Can you not think?” He hisses. “Do you not understand that no other mech can come rising back to life with a Matrix in his chest? Are you incapable of understanding the actual consequences of death?”

    “We are at war," Optimus spits. When he speaks, the energon running from his nose to his lips is flung in spittles. "People take risks.”

    “You take risks.” Megatron grabs Optimus’s forehead and shoves him back into the floor. “You take risks for them. With them."

    Summary

    The new Prime may as well have been slagging Primus himself with how he was going on performing miracle feats and yet still managing to skip out in just enough time to avoid being caught by any Con units in the area.

    Which made him a curiosity and Meister sure did love teasing out curiosities.

    And so maybe he did let himself get noticed on a camera or two. And maybe he didn’t get out as fast as he could have. He would give credit to the little minibots that caught up to him, they sure gave him a workout and almost were able to follow him through the ventilation system! Sure, the one got stuck on his back kibble, but hey, it was the effort that counted, right?

    He hadn’t let them catch him, but he maybe hadn’t worked as hard as he could have to leave. Because he knew it would get him closer to where he wanted to be.

    Sitting in an interrogation room with Prowl hadn’t been that ‘where,’ but it was getting closer and closer.

    Summary

    On the one hand, Nightbeat had been watching Rung at a distance for- however long, and had still gotten his name wrong. On the other hand that seemed rather the incorrect thing to be offended about in that statement, upon reflection.

    (For the prompt "Rung/Nightbeat, no war AU".)
