Sparring until they get so tired they fall asleep on the spot.

Megatron has a terrible temper. Grimlock is somehow the voice of reason, and he is none too happy about it.

Thank you @starfromfaraway for the tag! Continued from this post.

RULES:

Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous and tag as many people as you have WIPs.

People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then you post a snippet or tell them something about it!

Then there's a bunch of OC stuff from tabletop RPGs and online artist collabs that probably isn't of interest most people.

C r u s h e d

I was feeling bad about what a mess the tags were on this older fic, sooo tonight I cleaned them up, and tagged more appropriately for the relationships currently appearing, or projected for end game. (Hopefully it's not too many tags overall?)

Is there anyone out there still interested in this story?

Other developing ships are TBD. I'd love reader feedback on those, and what people might like to see. I'm considering picking it back up and finishing it, so drop a comment and let me know if folks are still out there and into this story!

Summary: (This story diverges from canon somewhere around mid-MTMTE….) Megatron may be an Autobot and captain of the Lost Light now, but that doesn't mean his challenges are over. There's still the Decepticon Justice Division to consider and a certain exiled swordmech…

That's how it all began. This story goes on to tell a different tale of Drift's return to a Lost Light and how the crew, especially its two Captains, and a certain medic, adjust to his return. Drama, of course, ensures.

Deadlock and Megatron could work. Exploring how he got sucked into the decepticons and really working out his earlier motivations. Leaning on Megatron singling him out and using all of Deadlock’s anger to really turn him to the cause. Could also be them on the Lost Light instead, after everything is over and they try to become better together despite everything.

Could also do him and Perceptor, since Drift is the reason he starts turning his frame into something more combat oriented, alongside believing he owes a debt to Drift. Being in the first group of autobots he meets after leaving the decepticons, there could definitely be an exploration of guilt and changing yourself and interacting with people you’ve hurt before there.
