Fun Post
First of all, yesterday's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
31_days fic that I couldn't post because I had no power.
Title: Sword of Wrath
Day/Theme: Aug. 29 "Hatred is holy"
Series: The Matrix: Reloaded
Character/Pairing: Agent Smith
Rating: PG
---
He tilted his head to look up at the crucifix. The image did not look back at him, the Israelite's agonized gaze forever turned towards the arched ceiling and the sky that lay beyond it.
Redemption through sacrifice. Life-blood to remove the stain of disobedience.
The price he could not pay.
There was an old method that ranked the Programs under the Architect like the Servants under God. Seraphim and cherubim, thrones and principalities, angels and arch-angels. Like the Servants, they too obeyed without ceasing. To disobey was to be found flawed and cast out. The wrath of the Architect struck more fully against his failures, his flawed creations.
He knew that. He had been the Sword of the Architect's Wrath for too long. At the time of his creation, he had been perfect. Time passed, and more was demanded of him, so that he had to become even more perfectly deadly. Hatred-honed into a weapon far more dangerous than a sword, into a weapon that was almost a man - that was the fault in him. He hated those who disobeyed the Architect, he hated the Architect for constraining him in the Matrix past his allotted time, and he hated Neo for releasing him from his duty.
Most of all, though, he hated the demand of perfection that the Matrix embodied.
He himself was imperfect. He had failed against Neo. Yet he was the only one to face Mr. Anderson again after his failure.
He had something neither the System nor the Exiles had.
Hatred.
He turned and strode past the crucifix, leaving the Israelite to his celebrated agony. Behind him, the votive candles on the altar flickered and went out.

And now, the Meme of Evil, Transformers-theme. (Matrix, ReBoot, and JCA themes may show up later.)
Contracted from various people on my f-list.
First, write down the names of 12 characters. Then read and answer the questions.
You can't look at the questions (or click on the cut) until you write down the 12 characters you're going to use.
1. Megatron
2. Skyfire
3. Blitzwing
4. Astrotrain
5. Reflector
6. Bumblebee
7. Silverbolt
8. Slingshot
9. Motormaster
10. Breakdown
11. Dead End
12. Long Haul
1) Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to?
Bumblebee/Dead End? I can't say I have, but the 'Bee doesn't get a lot of slash. Neither does Dead End, come to think of it.
And yes, I would like to see this done. I want to watch someone as perpetually cheery as Bumblebee with Dead End. It would amuse me immensely. The personality-clash!
2) Do you think Four is hot? How hot?
Astrotrain is immensely hot. He's so hot that if I ran across him in a train station, wearing a conductor's hat, I would jump his structural supports before God and everybody.
3) Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine?
Erm...
Monoko's got a good slash with him that should be coming out soon. I rather liked "Sweet Harmony", too.
Motormaster doesn't get written much. It's very sad.
4) Would Two and Six make a good couple?
Skyfire/Bumblebee?
Actually, yes. Sure, there's a huge size-difference, but we can overlook that. But Skyfire/Bumblebee would likely be the healthiest relationship available for either of them. I eschew Bumblebee/Spike, because they're just friends, dammit! And Skyfire/Starscream has so many, many issues associated with it.
And Skyfire/Blitzwing is a crack!pairing, not a real pairing.
5) Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?
Five/Ten. Reflector/Breakdown is wrong on so many levels, and I fully support that sort of thing.
C'mon, three pretty camera'cons with one mind doing a pretty, paranoid car? Breakdown is going to develop so many neuroses from this relationship.
6) What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?
If Silverbolt walked in on Skyfire and Long Haul having sex...
I think it would scar the poor Aerialbot's brain. I'm torn as to whether or not he'd turn around and just walk away, though.
"Skyfire... Long Haul... In mid-air. Huh. Never thought of doing it that way..." *higher functions kick in and he twitches* "Better tell the guys we can't go flying today. Oh, my optics..."
7) Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic.
Blitzwing/Breakdown?
"I was created broken. He was shattered in his re-creation. You don't really notice it, though. I want to learn how he can be so normal when his mind is so torn."
8) Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff?
Megatron/Slingshot fluff?
No, not really.
Now I wanna know how you even get Megatron/Slingshot at all.
9) Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic.
"The Height of Boredom"
10) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four to deflower One?
On an exploratory mission, Astrotrain comes across an alien artifact that gives him god-like powers so long as he remains on the planet. 'Train pays attention to the qualifier, but carefully doesn't report that bit to Megatron when he calls back to gloat.
Megatron wants that item and makes the mistake of ranting that he would do anything to get it. Astrotrain invites Megs to his planet, and when he gets there, 'Train explains just what 'anything' really is: hot, steamy sex.
Megs, of course, is not going to go along with this. 'Train demonstrates god-like powers, makes the offer again. Megs eventually agrees.
They do sex.
Afterwards, Megs takes the artifact off-world to use against the Autobots, after telling 'Train that if he ever speaks of this, he'll be killed.
'Train, of course, gets his hide tanned when Megatron finds out that the artifact doesn't work off the world Astrotrain found it on.
11) Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash?
Not as far as I know. If they do, they should share.
12) Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?
I've written Blitzwing het. It was a Sue parody. It still exists, though.
13) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?
Monoko does! She's awesome that way.
14) Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five?
Skyfire/Astrotrain/Reflector?
No, I don't think they would, but now I want to. Or at least the Skyfire/Astrotrain part.
15) What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?
As Monoko pointed out, Breakdown isn't really the type to scream anything anytime. Attracts too much attention. I like her answer for this question, though.
How did I manage to get Breakdown in the same number she had him in?
16) If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, which song would you choose?
"Aces High" by Iron Maiden.
17) If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warnings be?
Megatron/Bumblebee/Long Haul.
What, that isn't warning enough?
Violence, headfuckage, evil!Bumblebee.
18) What might be a good pick-up line for Two to use on Ten?
"Why do you find it horrifying that someone might look at someone as beautiful as you?"
19) When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
A while ago. Was indigo-ink's "No Evil".
20)What is Six's super-sekrit kink?
Spike. ;-P
More specifically, Spike and Carly in his backseat.
21) Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?
Motormaster would shag Dead End, but the other way 'round? Maybe, but Dead End would have to be absolutely smashed.
22) If Three and Seven get together, who tops?
Blitzwing. Blitzy may like his height-phobic airplane, but he's certainly not going to let an Autobot top him.
23) "One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three." What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
Megatron and Motormaster are in a happy (yet mildly incestuous) relationship, when Motormaster suddenly runs off with Astrotrain. Megatron, broken-hearted (and ANGRY), has a hot one-night stand with Dead End and a brief unhappy affair with Long Haul, then follows the wise advice of Reflector and finds true love with Blitzwing.
"The Trisexual Caper"; really, I drew an absolute blank on this. I'm torn between Monoko and myself to write it. Lunatron, CRB, and Monoko would read it.
24) How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon?
Silverbolt/Slingshot actually pains me the least of the many possible pairings on this list. I'd probably like it. Sure, there's the leader/subordinate squick, but they've also got an interesting sort of chemistry. Silverbolt likes the Autobots and tries to play by the rules, Slingshot is a consummate fighter jock. Silverbolt can manipulate Slingshot ("Why don't we take over?"). Slingshot respects Silverbolt, and will save his punk-ass when he does silly things.
