Lost Garden AU: A Place to Call Home
TAGS: Age Difference, Growing Up, Caretaking, Older Bottom, Younger Top, Transformers AU, Unhealthy Family Dynamics, Slow Burn, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat (Starts out sweet).
Summary: After getting fired from his dead-end delivery job, Bee is sent to a remote organic garden preserve to tend to it alone. His quiet life falls apart fast when he catches three feral sparklings stealing crystal fruit. He soon discovers they are orphans with no creators to speak of.
What starts as pity, letting them hang around the garden, slowly evolves into Bee becoming their reluctant caretaker and, eventually, giving them a permanent home. Over the years, Bee raises them, but the line between family and something much more complicated starts to blur.
Once they finally come of age, the boys decide it’s time to claim the only person who ever showed them kindness before anyone else can.
AKA: Raising three homeless kids, and then when they grow up, they try to fuck you. I promise it’s not as bad as it sounds! lol. Good old unhealthy family dynamics and, as one person on Twitter called it, "reverse grooming."
Alternate Titles: Forgotten Garden, The Forgotten Garden, Lost Garden.
Extra Clarification: Nothing explicit will happen in any manner, shape, or form until the love interests are of age.
