Ask Me To Write You Stuff!

[beckyh2112]

It is time to balance my meme karma, since I've been abusing both suzukiblu and banditjoeykuba's awesomeness lately.

So I will be writing anything Avatar, Transformers: Deadzone, or Transformers: Animated in the comments. Including any AU I've babbled at you about. Or any AU you can think of. Or anything involving my OCs. (I will only write other people's OCs with their permission, so you'll have to get their permission first and have them communicate it to me.)

Restrictions:
- Three requests per person, unless I tell you you can ask for more
- If you ask for "So-and-so is awesome", I am putting my iPod on shuffle and writing to whatever song comes up first

Meme is closed.

Ani: Prowl and Optimus

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

Optimus should have died. He thinks that sometimes, when the Magnus hammer is heavy in his hands, when Megatron's smile gets so sharp, when every person speaking to him has a crisis that only he can fix.

Dying would have been easier than being Magnus.

He can't defrag a lot of the time. There's too many things that need to be done and too little time to do them all in. So he skimps, even though Ratchet tells him he's a fool for doing so.

He's Magnus. He has to keep going.

It gets harder, though, and Megatron's smile gets so sharp it cuts.

Forever and a day ago, Sentinel would have hauled him off to defrag and slapped him down whenever he tried to skimp. But Sentinel hates him now, not as bad as he hates Decepticons or organics, but still plenty bad enough.

On the ship, he would have set a good example for the crew. But they're gone now, mostly. Ratchet stays around but only just. Prowl is dead. Bumblebee and Bulkhead are taking on the universe.

Prowl is dead.

There are slashes on Optimus's hands, and he has no idea how they got there.

Being Magnus is killing him.

"Rest," someone says one night, hand on his shoulder, and the voice doesn't register with Optimus until the next morning.

Prowl is dead.

"You should rest too," he says to the empty office, feeling slightly foolish.

The bare edge of a chuckle drifts across him, but the next time he pushes himself too far, the voice is back telling him to rest.

Thank you, thank you! It has this haunting air which I have looked for in every fic concerning Prowl's death since then, and also because it has someone different than Jazz, Bumblebee or Sari mourning.

I love how Prowl's death haunts Optimus, pressing as much on him as the strain of being Magnus. And, which is only my interpretation, it sent shivers through me as I thought, maybe you began the fic that Optimus wishes to be dead to show he wants to be together with Prowl.
