Oldie but a goldie

“Little Star”

Revenge Attack on chickendragon!

“Unhappy Serpent”

I have a loose idea that it's more likely to be the sire that raises Crashstop, given it is an Egg that can change paws a lot, and while it doesn't have to be the creators who tend to it, someone has to.

Blitzwing carrier:

They're definitely conflicted over it, as they are over a lot of things, actually. Given it was supposed to be A Fling, suddenly getting hit with the nonliteral truck that is another potential life in his paws neither Wings nor Zing would want to deal with it. Megatron would probably punish, at worst, offline him for getting funny with traitors and/or Autobots, and pawn off the egg to anyone else. Blitz is, however, the sentimental sap too stubborn to just let it go, even if he doesn't and couldn't know if it's viable. If the other two try to just sneak it out and just hide it Blitz is the one who runs out to go tend to it anyway. It's horrible for him, running back and forth hoping that the dragonet inside is still alive and Not Offline and it wasn't your fault and it was alive in the first place. (There's probably a way to see if it's 'alive' but I'd figure that'd be limited, so you can't know if it's actually developing right or if it'll survive outside the egg).

What's the solution?

Optimus is taking care of it, that's always what he would do, but he has the unique chance to claim it's not his own, actually. I'm not sure if he would or wouldn't do that, entirely. On one hand, admitting that it's his is the right thing to do, and it would probably also give him more say in what he can do with it. On the other paw he's still the leader of the team and while that wouldn't work with the elite guard, I headcannon that by incubating an egg you bond with it via the EMF field or whatever, and it's bad to change paws so close to hatching. Optimus has been known to keep a few things under the table. Which is more fun.

Blitzwing is definitely turning himself in after the space bridge incident Blitz has been stewing with regret. It may force Optimus to out himself too. Everything degrades from there. 

Optimus carrier:

Well, now the ability to hide its origin is gone. The entire team is hurt by this, obviously. No one else wants to help take turns caring for the egg, save Ratchet out of obligation and duty. Go figure. 

As in 'Baby, it's Too Late for Us,' I believe Optimus would admit to Blitzwing that yea, there's an egg, it's alive, and it's viable. I feel Blitzwing would probably do something similar to that fic, given he now knows it's definitely alive and his, however, he's not taking Optimus. Megatron is under no obligation and has no reason to keep the prime alive, and Blitzwing would know this. If he wants to raise his own sparkling, he'd have to do it alone. 

(As for why they try to hand it off if they carry it; I personally think it's more of a situation thing, knowing it's viable, as well as the difference between you having been a traitor vs, again, being able to deny ownership and you were stealing it for numbers and causing the Autobots distress and getting to take your own spawn. The sort of difference between 'Oh man this is an immediate Problem for Me' versus 'this is an opportunity I can choose to take.' Whether or not Megatron is accepting of this explanation and lets Blitzwing keep it or just tells him to go get rid of it anyway is obviously the former. Although the fallout would be horrendous.)

Although if he does figure out where it is and steals it that means he knows where the Autobot base is. Great! Stealing it back isn't going to deter him now! Have fun idiot! (Although if it does get taken back its definitely during the space bridge thing or similar to that and now Blitzwing has just got to deal with that. And that Optimus is probably upset as hell and doesn't want him back. Real divorce hours.)

Dragon divorce!!! Doomed parents in every timeline. Obsessed with Blitzwing like. Straight up leaving the egg in Optimus' care. Single parent hours but we switch up at the last minute <3

“Stargazer”

me: i'll draw more detailed dragonformer designs next time

Beyond the Red Sea lies an uncharted land, unknown to sailors and adventurers alike. A land of death and destruction, a fool's venture.

For centuries, humans, elves, dwarves, and countless other races believed it to be nothing more than a fairy tale. Tales of floating mountains drifting through the clouds. Endless crystal caverns beneath the earth. Dragons so vast they could cast entire cities into shadow.

Stories.

Nothing more.

That’s all there we’re supposed to be.

Fantasies of mythical beasts who had been fighting a war long before even the oldest elves came to be. A mythical world far beyond the comprehension of any mortal…

Until the war moved to the mainland.
