I read Shattered Glass and like everything I need to combine two interests together for enrichment (Also I needed a break from writing the fic). Also very much inspired by @pritong-baboy 's own SG!Shockdad au because ooo that gremlin child + Reluctant dad combo.
To keep conventions I think SG version of "What if Longarm adopted sparkling Bumblebee" would be sooo much worse. Like for Autobots Caretakers are basically drill sergeants for toddlers to raise emotionally stunted killing machines. When Shockwave is forced into adopting B-127 it horribly sabotages his operations as he just cannot bring himself to Do what they want from him.
Instead of making this Bumblebee a well adjusted person the constant push and pull of Longarm having to act distant and Shockwave trying to be a good dad it fucks him up severely. He wants the love and attention but when Longarm cares it's out of weakness, so that means that Bumblebee craves it makes him weak too. So he hates Shockwave as much as he loves him if you get me, he always need his attention but also to kill him.
In this version Shockwave is still a loyal Decepticon who while cried when Bumblebee disappeared also thought "I'm so glad I won't have to be his enemy". Unfortunately he isn't so lucky for Bumblebee to stay dead.
