love like you~

Optimus wouldn't say he was overly conceded. As faint as it is, your EM field wasn't showing any signs of distress nor pain and nothing upsetting happened lately either. However, he was a little worried about your extended screen time for the past ten days and sudden emotional jumps he could feel. You weren't a little sparkling, Optimus was aware of that, but he couldn't help being protective. The mech wanted to ask for the reason of your behavior but couldn't find the right time.

That was until today, when you jumped on your feet with a loud shout, making the Autobot nearly drop the data pad he was holding. Alarmed, he stomped to your location — an elevated platform with soft couch and entertainment in various forms — readying himself to speed dial Ratchet if necessary. He freezed when he saw you.

"HELL YEAH!" you bounced around, wide grin on your face. Your EM field was bright, excited and somehow so infectious that even Optimus couldn't stop himself from chuckling deeply. That took your attention from your phones screen to his optics. "Oh, OP! Sorry if I startled you!"

"It is alright, friend," the giant bot replied. "What caused such a reaction, if I may ask? Your shout was unexpected."

The mech rised his optical ride in question, now more amused than worried.

"Sorry, sorry," you repeat sheepishly but excitement quickly returned to your tone when you started to explain, "The crew of Artemis II landed safely today! I was just watching the news waiting for them!"

This didn't clear much for him which you quickly realized.

"Oh, right, you're not really following human news much. Artemis is a NASA program that focuses on sending astronauts on missions to the Moon! And over a week ago they send a crew to fly around it and that made them become the first humans to be that far from Earth! And it's a big thing, because—" you went on and Optimus relaxed completely.

Is this what got you so excited? Not only you, he assumes. It truly is a big thing, as you called it, for humans — a milestone, one step closer to vast space exploration, something so common to him but exhilarating to this young species he became so found of.

The Autobot leader lowers himself to be closer to you, as if he was truly invested in your rambling, and it makes you abruptly shut up. Ah, it must be silly to him, now that you think about it. An alien, from space, with home planet so far away is probably more than familiar with space travel. They have teleports too.

"Uh, it isn't that cool for you though, I bet," you try to brush the disappointment off.

Your faint, human EM field subconsciously falling back makes Optimus' gaze soften. He extends his servo, waiting for you to reluctantly climb on it and walks with you back to his desk. He sits down but doesn't let you go just yet.

"You should not compare human progress to ours, my friend," he starts, voice gentle, "We might be capable of traveling farther than you, but our species are fundamentally different, even with all similarities we share. We existed far longer than you, and yet you advance so quickly it amazes me, truly.

"You were not born with metal cogs and ability to transform like us, but with flesh and bones. It is no small feat to come to the point of leaving the planet that did not have answers for you out in the open. The difficulties you endured should not be overlooked. You should be proud of how far you have come."

And that big alien robot just smiles at you, like you are the most precious creature in the universe, still holding you carefully. Suddenly, you feel tightness in your throat, your vision blurs. The next thing you register is warm metal sliding up and down your side and a quiet purr of an engine.

The mech let's you take your time, catching himself on trying to soothe you through EM field before remembering you can't feel it the same way. Everything is still for a while and when you compose yourself, Optimus speaks again.

"Would you like to share more about this mission that you found exciting?"

You nod, still teary-eyed, and tell him about the plushie, the sitcom-like introduction of the crew, the crater named after commanders wife and him greeting his kids, you show him amazing photos and that video of a jar flying around.

He listens to you the whole time, also letting himself be overcomed by emotions, endeared by it all. Earth is an amazing planet, he concludes yet again.

And then you stop, look him straight in the optics like you realized something.

"You know, the spacecraft that took them there," you smile,

"it was named Orion."

When a Transformer is in recharge they are almost always completely still. Even in the throes of dreams and nightmares their frame remains almost entirely immobile, flat on their back, servos to their sides. Humans, meanwhile, sleep so recklessly. Heads cocked, limbs sprawled, hands and feet hanging off the edge of their tiny beds. Floppy and limp-limbed, sometimes they move, adjust, or even talk while in the depths of their little organic recharge.

Bots like Optimus, Bumblebee, Arcee, they've been around humans for long enough that it no longer fazes them. Sure, it's odd. But they just chalk it up to another weird thing that humans do that can't completely be rationalized. Autobots and Decepticons who don't get as much contact with humans however, find it vaguely creepy.

Ultra Magnus telling you multiple times to speak up before realizing with a shudder that you've been recharging the entire time, yet somehow holding a mostly-cognizant conversation.

Thundercracker always keeping a hand around you when you want to cuddle because he's paranoid you're going to roll off his berth in your sleep and SPLAT! onto the floor.

Swerve finding the idea of 'sleep-walking' silly until he finds you standing in the dark hallway facing the wall and muttering to yourself. He screams so loud he wakes up half the Lost Light crew.

Soundwave shifting uncomfortably when he can feel you rolling around and readjusting yourself in his cassette bay, soft little hands and feet pressing up against the interior walls.

This is a ship that, for whatever reason, you feel attached to. There's something that speaks to your human history- maybe you grew up on the coast, maybe you just really loved maritime stories, but to you, the ship is a she, and she is your friend- a vessel to carry you through the stars.

She is your home, your safe harbor. Not a woman, but a lass nonetheless.

The Cybertronians aboard sort of get it- but distinctly, this ship was always simply meant to be a ship, so it's weird when you sit down to talk to the ship of your woes. It's strange.

Except- not to you. To you, she is a hall of mysteries, a home of comfort, and when you speak to her-

She speaks back.

May I request HCs of Jazz from Transformers Generation One with a Human![Reader] [PLATONIC] [Gender Neutral] who’s actually from the future?

[Reader] is from 20XX and somehow traveled to the past, back in the 1980s. In the meantime, the accidental time traveler stayed with the Autobots until everyone can help sending them back home. While the ‘Bots work, [Reader] become friends with G1 Jazz: talking about the future and showing him different music genres from their era.

☆ Futuristic Symphony — G1 Jazz & GN Reader ☆

Genre: Fluff/Platonic || they/them pronouns for reader || No warnings needed

──────.𖥔 ݁ ˖˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ──────

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Jazz was enthralled with your tale as soon as you said it. The idea of someone from the future intrigued him greatly, and the second Wheeljack set out to find a solution, he began chatting with you

ᯓᡣ𐭩 He had about a million questions about what the future was like. He wondered of earth began looking more like cybertron, if all the current predictions were accurate, and even if you knew who would eventually win the war

ᯓᡣ𐭩 After figuring out what you were and weren't aware of, he was amazed when you brought up music. He immediately had so many more questions to ask you, even offering up his own system to test music on

ᯓᡣ𐭩 He gets deep into the more futuristic jazz genres. Though he comments that he prefers the generation he was exposed to first, he's fascinated by the cultural shift in how the beats sounded

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Everything you show him of the future, he shows you for his current timelines. He essentially penguin pebbles information to you back and forth to bond with you

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Once it seems like you're going to be on your way home, Jazz begins listening through his current collection of earth music. Once he's done, he embeds his personal favorites onto a CD to give to you to take back with you

ᯓᡣ𐭩 He promises to you that the Jazz of your timelines is definitely gonna find you know that he knows you. Bots live for a long time yet, so he's confident he'll be able to see you again. For now, he semi-sadly gives you a sparkfelt farewell as you carry his CD in hand

Genre: Fluff || they/them pronouns for reader || No warnings needed

A/N: Prompt for all of these is the bots reacting to Reader introducing them to the human Valentine's traditions!

Autobots:

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Optimus takes the concept very seriously, encouraging his teammates to try and partake in it to respect human customs. He gets very flustered when you give him a present for the holiday, attempting to hide his blush behind his battlemask as he 'professionally' accepts

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Cliffjumper ends up overthinking it a bit. He keeps second-guessing what would be perfect enough. He doesn't want to get something too obvious, but what else is there? What he does rather than a gift is setting up a stargazing date for you both

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Ratchet almost wants to skip the holiday, he doesn't really see the point of it. But when finding out it's a way of showing affection, he subtly picks it up. Gave you a heart-shaped box of little energon cubes. Even if you can't really eat them, the thought alone was touching, especially with how embarrassed he was delivering it

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Jazz immediately sets out to make you a mix of music. He rapid-downloads all the cheesy human love songs he can find. When listening it to you, he tries to sing along to some of them, only knowing about 1/3rd of the words. It's the time with you that matters, especially seeing you laugh at his attempts

I'm aware that I'm not the first person to come up with this idea, nor will I probably be the last, but DAMN. This idea just got me hooked, idk what to tell you!! Anyways, the continuity is kept vague, so imagine them looking like your favorite TF media/designs. If your favorite TF media/designs don't have a toyline, pretend that they do!

Synopsis: You've been a Transformers fan for a while, and started collecting toys of your favorite characters out of love for the franchise. Gradually, you've expanded from your favorites to the rest of the cast; before one day you finally get the one toy you were missing to complete your collection. Unfortunately, your good day turns slightly less good when you realize that these little guys are actually sentient.

Content: GN pronouns, human! reader, the bots are toy sized, reader lives alone, i'm personally not a toy collector so this might not be accurate to how real collectors behave, slight crack vibes, im just having fun lmao

Today is a good day.

You feel like you should use a bigger word considering what you have in your hands, but honestly, it doesn't matter. Great, fantastic, pleasant, whatever. What matters is that you finally got what you wanted, and that meant today is good.

Yeah, that's right. After ages of saving up, you had enough money to get the very last toy for your Transformers collection. Which, sure, sounds like a super nerdy thing to be excited over—but come on! You deserve to be excited!

You've been collecting Transformers toys for years now, and you've been a fan for even longer. What can you say? The franchise just has you hooked. Hooked enough to save and spend your money over and over again on figurines of your favorite characters. Time went on, and you figured, why not get the rest of the cast?

Which leads you to now. Walking back to your house carrying a plastic bag, the final piece for your collection carefully tucked inside.

There's a noticeable pep in your step as you open the door and lock it behind you. Immediately heading to your room, you carefully reach in the plastic bag and pull out... Him.

TFA Jazz Realizing His Crush on Reader

He thinks that you are cool, so he wants to spend more time with you.

He talks with you, drives you around, and even shows off his ninja skills by practicing with his laser nunchaku in your presence.

Likewise, you show him the wonders of humanity by exploring downtown Detroit with him. He is in awe, and he is always willing to learn more about new cultures.

With your help, he comes to understand that Sentinel Prime has it all wrong about humans, especially you. If prompted, Jazz absolutely defends you from him.

When he realizes his crush on you, he handles it very well. He is not disgusted. Surprised? Yes, but not repulsed. Instead, he is very intrigued. He wants to woo you.

He may act smoother here and there, trying to flirt with you through sweet gestures and words. He either comes off as a stud or a total dork.

Jazz may seek out Prowl for help, asking what humans like in a partner and how to go about courting them.

Words: 1126 Pairing: Jason Todd x (f)Reader Warnings: Mentions canon-typical violence, very vague nsfw thoughts Summary: Jason can’t wait to see you, but now he’s stuck listening to his older brother. Author’s Note: There is no actual jason and yn interaction in this, he just thinks about how much he loves you. Dick also has a girlfriend. This is based entirely on the photo above, it’s from this Pinterest post. Bruce Wayne is a good dad. The family is happy. This is also like really based on the daydreaming and headcanoning @cafeacademia and I have been doing the last week.

And, if you’re more of a Dick lover, I have already written his perspective about him missing his girlfriend (you ;) )

Jason / Full Masterlist

—

After the long night of patrol-turned-gang-fight, Jason would love nothing more than to go back to your shared apartment, have some fun together, and fall asleep blissfully unaware that there was a world outside the door. But he knew that wasn’t possible because you were out of town for work.

He’s never hated California more than the fact that it’s on the other side of the country from New Jersey.

Jason didn’t really want to go back to his empty apartment just yet, but he also didn’t want to go back to the Cave and answer a million questions from the rest of the team. It would be easier to give Bruce his verbal report before Bruce went back to the Cave, too. However, as he was carefully walking along the roof edges, the bright blue of Nightwing’s costume caught his eye.

bonus points if it's around when any of the bots/cons are getting to know reader, and it's just the first time they actually are very visibly excited or passionate about something and just makes them go "oh! so thats really them!"

obviously i'm going to be a little bias and start with a science/engineering special interest first, which i think would be especially interesting considering they're mechanical as well - maybe they could compare their understandings of science! the commonalities, the differences, etc. i think all of them would at least find such an interest a little fascinating, but especially those more tech-aware or leaning. a favorite thought of mine is a reader helping older cybertronians with joint pain or mobility issues (sg!soundwave is my main inspiration for this) by oiling their joints or being able to clean rust from spots that are a little harder for them to reach, and reader is just absolutely excited to help them out!

very similarly to a previous post i've made, medical interest reader talking to literally any medic will range from fascination to confusion, to maybe just being weirded out. again, the human body is strange, so have fun explaining that to cybertronians! like, what do you mean your eyes aren't connected to your immune system because it would attack your eyes and cause you to go blind?? why do you have to remove extra teeth???

music and the arts! there are definitely some bots that would love to hear you both talk about, and show some of your favorite songs! not just about the song, but the story behind it, some of your favorite genres, maybe even music theory! or maybe you've got a specific painting or photo that you need to talk about the composition, the color, the time period, go on! got a favorite book or series you can't just keep to yourself? talk away about the latest twist that's got you so excited!

Like an eldritch horror type of partner born of Gotham who has attached itself to Jason that doesn’t even look human most of the time. He would be down because he doesn’t feel wholly human after coming back from the dead so he wouldn’t judge an inhuman partner.

He would also tell no one about it because it slips his mind.

The fact that the partner Jason has been talking about is not at all human only comes up because John Constantine comes to town to deal with something else and sees Jason and is like ‘the fuck?’ Because he is just covered in the entity’s magic and doesn’t know about it.

Constantine immediately decides it isn’t his problem, gives Bruce a pitying look and leaves after his business is done.
