Have you read Victory Condition (Transformers Generation One)?
Yes, I am/was in the fandom
Yes, but Iām not in the fandom
No, but Iām in the fandom
No, Iām not in the fandom
Summary: Megatron and Optimus get stuck in a cave
Author: @astolat
Note from submitter: this fic kind of rewired my brain? and I mean in more than just the ''it got me into transformers fandom'' sense it literally made me reevaluate my worldview (in a good way)
I finished reading Victory Conditions by astolat on ao3 and I will never recover. That fic has fuckinā rewired my brain. It has rocked my world view. It is a core memory now. I will never be the same.
"even the weakest, all life strives"
Got a line stuck in my head, a snippet of a quote. Something to the effect of in the darkness all life struggles to exist or was it all life strives? Incredibly hard to get anything reasonable on Google from three words, especially when one of those words is life. Loaded af. Got a bunch of religious and pseudoscientific and syrupy motivational stuff.
After dwelling on it on-and-off for a few hours, I got the vague impression that it was fanfic somehow, and then more specifically astolat. (Thanks, brain! Fire up those faded neuron pathways!)
And it was! It's from Victory Condition: "even the weakest, all life strives". Friggin' beautiful. Getting teary and philosophical over some meg-op fanfic.
ITāS DONE! \o/
Actually itās been done for a few days now -- I hit 50k officially on Tuesday, but I decided to keep writing anyway for the rest of November. Final word count, 54,343 words.
Now if only I could have written all those words on one single project.
New goal for December, guys: Get to bed on time every night.

So I loved Victory Condition, and I read āThe Ones Who Walk Away From Omelasā and I get the connection... but I donāt totally get HOW they connect, if that makes sense. And maybe thatās just because Iām trying to make it directly analogous when itās not supposed to be. So I was wondering what you saw as the connection there and what meaning you wanted to convey in comparing the two?
The story is how I tell you! ;) No, but seriously,Ā I tried to answer this in more detail but I feel like I was just turning the story into an inferior essay.Ā
I will just say Iāve been feelingĀ OmelasĀ in my head really strongly while writingĀ Victory ConditionĀ (alsoĀ ChampionĀ andĀ The Revolutionary), and I think itās coming through in a variety of ways. Any connections you feel, theyāre probably there even if I didnāt recognize them consciously as I was writing.Ā
