[Toon x Mobster] I really like the idea of Gavriel getting nice and plump (dad bod) because Jack keeps pampering him
Gaining happy weight and a happy husband more than willing to spoil him.
@luxafers-triak
I need you to know that I very intently thinking about Broodmare Optimus Rn. And that I need him like.
I need him to walk up to someone just doing something unaware of the Primes presence. IDK like Soundwave, And just pick him up, doesn't matter if he's talking with someone or if he's working on data, that Mech is being grabbed and flung over the Prime's shoulders.
And he's taken to Optimus's nest, deposited inside, and gets to look up to see his valve dripping wet. His spike is immediately onlined and the pannel gets opened.
Op sinks down possibly quickly, because he's horny, he wants transfluid. he want's another kid inside him badly, and he wants the base coding to start with Soundwave.
Soundwave is not getting out of there for at least a day or two.

I have another AU coming (you can choose whatever iteration you want for this.):
Megatronus/D-16 and Orion Pax meeting in a nightclub.
(I got this idea from the song "Livin' la Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin, okay.)
What happens is that Orion Pax gets dragged to the nightclub (run by Jazz, of course) by a couple of his Amicas because he "needs to loosen up a bit!"
(And let me tell you right now, Orion is no ordinary mid-caste archivist. No, no, no! He is a warframe who got picked up by Alpha Trion at one of the hotspots. [And he also has several engravings (tattoos) and piercings...] He can be shy, but only when he doesn't know anybody there or is in a professional setting. When he's with his Amicas, he can be a bit loud and is very open[-minded] with his opinions. He often gets into fights with some mechs [though, it's usually for the money]. He's loves sharing his opinions on the caste system and systematic injustice to anyone who also shares his sentiments.)
Megatronus/D-16 goes there after his own Amicas tell him that this nightclub is "one of the best on Cybertron!" He gets interested after a bit of convincing and here he is.
(Imma also tell you right now that Megatronus/D-16 is also a warframe [of course], but he's a bit smaller by a couple feet from the other Pit fighters. He is a kind, passionate mech who wants to see the end of the caste system. He wants to be able to walk anywhere without any repercussions or needing an escort. He wants to be able to receive an education, but, alas, the caste systems forbids him from getting one. He only has one engraving, and it was done by Soundwave, his cherished Amica.)
Megatronus/D-16 gets there, and the first thing he sees is a beautiful mech. He sees all of the intricate engravings and piercings the mech has, the way he easily moves through the crowd, the way he dances, and is instantly enamored by him.
When the mech goes to the bar for a drink, he, rather shyly, asks the bartender (Hot Rod) to give him one of the most expensive drinks there (he wants to make a good impression on him) and say it's from him.
OP, on the other hand, is wondering who gave him this expensive ass drink. Hot Rod points to Dee, and OP is immediately like, "Woah, he's cute." He asks Hot Rod to give the mech his comm. and designation.
He does, and Dee's spark is immediately fluttering. By Primus, he actually got the pretty mech's comm. and designation! He didn't even think it would work, but it did!!
Mind you, everymech that was with Dee watches this go down and they all chuckle. They saw how Dee, almost literally, had heart eyes when he saw OP. They thought that Dee wouldn't go through with it, but he did, and they are impressed.
Later on, when they all went home, Dee would excitedly contact OP, and they would begin talking about everything they could think of.

Wallrus opinion
Logan is a possessive little shit
Real. Someone gets "flirty" with Keegan (Friendlier+touchier than strangers should be) and he gets so huffy. If Keegan doesn't shut them down quick enough Logan will, and he'll be very direct about it. "Yeah, we've been together long enough I'm thinking about looking at rings..." while cuddling up on him and other shit lmao.
Keegan thinks it's endearing. Logan's not a terror about it and only goes so far as making sure people know Keegan's taken. It's kinda nice in his opinion. Would it be bad if he shut people down slower just so there's more chances for him to see Logan scare them off? Hm.
https://www.tumblr.com/luxafers-triak/780094543226863616/ykw-archivist-orion-pax-is-not-gonna-be?source=share
I went ahead of myself
Back to what I was saying before megpax happened
Orion Pax would know so many things about Cybertron itself and its inhabitants that not even Soundwave nor any of the spies themselves know about.
But also I believe that he would be forced to monitor some of the 'sessions' that went on there. That he would told that he was needed to film some things for the Senate only to find himself in the middle of a crime scene (and sometimes having to participate under the threat of whatever)
He would document history as it plays out and has to release the rather heavily censored versions of those events to the Iacon Hall of Records.
I also like to imagine that he would be so much older in this universe. I'm talking alive since the beginning of the Quintesson age of Cybertron, like he was there for the rise of the Quintessons and the end of it (he was part of the regime that killed them and had garnered quite a reputation there).
During that age, he was able to freely document what the Quintessons were doing and are going to do. He was also able to get into meetings where he would translate, make notes, transcribe their conversations, draft treaties, organize events and parties, record certain things, etc. etc.
He was both a highly-valued soldier and Archivist for them. Because of this, he would also be sent on stealth missions, honey trap his victims, do surveillance, basically all of those black/special ops slag.
However, the problem lay in what the Quintessons were doing to some of the other species, specifically Cybertronians. They would treat them like they were worth nothing, starve them if they disobeyed, use them for their own selfish desires, and drain them of their energon just to give them a fraction of the amount the Quintessons received.
Some of the Cybertronians (the Primes and others), however, didn't care enough of the consequences and chose to lead a rebellion against them.
Now, this is where Orion Pax noticed and did not notify the Quintessons of what they were doing. He believed that they were actually doing the right thing to stand up for themselves.
He gave them weapons, more energon, notes of what they were doing in the meetings, and provided healer training (it was rough since he had little to work with, but he gave them the basics whenever they had common injuries. If he could, then he would also provide them with the proper materials for medical supplies).
When the Quintessons eventually found out, he was close to being executed on the spot when the leader of the entire colony approached the scene and commanded that they don't kill OP because they should break him first.
After that, they kept their promise and tried everything they could to do so. They tore his armor apart from his protoform, deprived him of energon and of any form of sensory, used him, basically torturing him until he almost couldn't take it anymore.
But when they suddenly left him alone one cycle because of a meeting being held, he took that chance to escape from where he was being held (in the chambers). It was eventually found out a couple joors later, and they searched every crevice for any sign of him. But, it was too late, and OP was already halfway there to Iacon.
The Primes, while on patrol, found him in the middle of a clearing, stumbling and in a state of constant agony.
------
With the help of Orion Pax, who proved to be a competent soldier, they won countless battles.
Originally, after recovering enough to fight, Orion had to go through training and ranks all over again. He quickly rose up the ranks and became one of the leading generals (though this didn't really mean much when they were still in the early stages of the war).
He had all of the soldiers trained in Quintesson combat as he was the only one who knew how to. He himself modified almost of them so that they were able to have very powerful weapons to use against them. He trained the rest of them as medics, mediators, translators, etc.
(A few vorns later because I don't know what else to say in this part, okay)
Even though they didn't really have a chance in the beginning, they ended up winning the war.
In the final battle, they were close to giving up because the Quintessons were overwhelming them when Orion Pax came into the scene.
Orion, who wanted revenge for what they did to him, stormed in with powerful machine guns and blades. It was brutality and bloodlust at its finest.
He absolutely decimated every last Quintesson until they were nothing but a field of hollow corpses. After that, he had left on a spaceship for a couple of chords before returning back.
When he came back and Cybertronian society began to rebuild itself, he was there through all of it.
------
Somewhere down the line, some of the Primes turned away from their beliefs and everything else happened.
The caste system was put in place, and everything went to hell afterwards.
The cycle of them turning into oppressors began, and everymech suffered as a result.
The Pits, which was originally friendly sparring, turned into a bloodsport. Iacon, which was a place of fighting and violence, turned into the main source of the oppressive high-caste mechs and architecture. Kaon, once a place of the arts, became too dangerous for once to go alone unless you were born in it. Tarn, known for its beautiful architecture and wildlife, became the source of Cybertron's minerals and had abandoned buildings. Other cities had not yet formed until several vorns down the line.
Orion Pax, who had dreams of living a peaceful life and not surviving yet another horrific cycle on the battlefield, realized that it was all for nothing, now that they were destroying themselves from the inside.
He only wishes for this to end peacefully (in the back of his mind, he only knows that this is wishful thinking).
He meets Megatronus and Soundwave, helps with their cause while also trying not to give anything away from his past (he slips up a couple of times, and it messes with his mind that he can't tell them, no matter how much they insist), and everything else goes almost exactly how it did in canon.
DAMN I hate it when people don't tag who is the top or the bottom of the fic because I was looking forward to reading this one fic then they went ahead and said that this guy was the bottom instead of the top.
LIKE PLEASE I NEED TO SPARE MYSELF THE PAIN WHILE I CAN AND IT ONLY TOOK ME ONE SENTENCE INTO THE SCENE TO REALIZE WHO WAS GOING TO BOTTOM
I WAS IN DISBELIEF AND IN AGONY CAUSE YOU COULDVE TAGGED IT WHILE YOU CAN???
I HAVE AN INTERVIEW TOMORROW FOR A JOB 🥳
(I took too long to make the call so I'm anxious as hell😭)
2 ideas I currently have:
Megatronus and Orion Pax were once lovers. They was proof of them once being together--the courtship, the sparklings Orion carried and Megs sired, footage of them making Soundwave and Strika the godcreators of said sparklings, the love datapads they exchanged, documents and pictures and audios of them laughing and being happy. Yet, history will erase everything that they had and say, "they were just friends."
Dockyard Courting AU where Sentinel (previously known as Avean) and OP fall in love while trying to overthrow the corrupt caste system since the current rulers are lying politicians who are causing severe harm to Cybertron.
Ykw Archivist Orion Pax is not gonna be innocent/naïve in this other AU I have. Like, idk why, but the mech has to have seen some shit that not even Megatronus has seen.
This mech would have access to some of the most fucked up shit known to Cybertron. I'm talking murders, conspiracies, acts committed by the Council and against them, unethical projects / research, empurata / shadowplay victims, etc. etc.
Orion Pax is NOT fine. It's quite the opposite, actually.
He is meant to be a puppet for the council. He is meant to allow them to do whatever they want with him, whether it being an assassin, Archivist, or something else.
But, sure, OP may play the part of an oblivious, naïve middle-caste who doesn't know the terrible side of life. But, in fact, he does know--he just couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't help them get justice. He could only send them Ratchet's way to have them repaired, giving them energon, providing them with basic necessities, and trying to educate them.
Though, when he met Megatronus, that's when he realized he could finally be able to help the victims by getting rid of the Caste system (imma say that in this AU, OP not agreeing with Megatronus' methods is still there. Probably a bit toned down as he can see where he's coming from), and he knows what they have done.)
Soundwave, of course, eventually finds out all of this. That OP has access to everything they could think of since he is the most trusted mech there in the Archives. That OP has interacted with the most terrifying creatures to exist and has done many things, albeit unwillingly, for the council. That OP has tried to help the less fortunate with varying degrees of success.
(Imma go a bit OOC with Soundwave here so sorry)
Soundwave suddenly tells Orion that he knows.
Orion is shocked. He thought that nobody would ever know what he had done outside of his family. He thought that he could manage to keep all of this from them, from Soundwave and Megatronus specifically. But it's Soundwave. He will always find a way.
What he didn't know was that Soundwave already told Megatronus when he found out.
-------
The next time that he met up with Megs, he is attending a meeting with the others in Kaon. They were talking and laughing, but he could feel that something was wrong, that something was about to happen.
At the end, he is met with Megatronus' anger and a load of questions.
"Why haven't you told us, told me? Were you so confident in your abilities to trick us that you didn't think we would find out eventually? Is that why, for many stellar cycles, you weren't here in Kaon with us? You were playing for the council?"
"Megatronus, if I can expla--"
"What is there to explain? You were tricking us into believing that you would fight with us against the caste system!"
"I'm sorry--"
"Sorry for what? Sorry for not being good enough to keep it a secret--"
"MEGATRONUS, PLEASE!"
All went silent.
Orion never begged, Megatronus duly noted.
"Leave Kaon, Orion." He said with finality.
"Megatronus, please, if you would just listen to me--"
"Leave, Orion Pax." He commanded.
Orion stopped trying. He left the room without saying another word.
(Later on, when Orion Pax died and Optimus arose, Megatron would think to himself, "Why didn't I try to listen to him? Why did I do that?")
(As he was leaving, OP was so heartbroken that he couldn't do anything else other than what he had to do for them. He will then regret his decision of keeping it a secret and fall in on himself as the Matrix burns through every part of him, leaving a husk of what he once was.)
(May the galaxies know that they will forever regret and forget what they once stood for. What they could have had. And maybe Primus will have mercy on their sparks, for they were driven to betrayal and insanity. May Primus forgive their sins and start anew with the eternity they now have with each other in a void of boundless, endless joy.)
@yayasvalveplay
MORE FERAL BROODMARE OP AU
BUT
Let's start off with how Optimus would be like in this universe alright
Cause I'm building this shit up instead of going for it tbh😭 so mb if you were expecting valveplug😔 imma probably do it in the next Feral OP post
So what I was thinking was that in this universe, the Primes were known as the broodmares right? Yea, let's tie that into them also being cryptids in order to protect their sparklings and sires
Yes, it's mainly the LHP's job to care and protect them BUT the matrix won't allow them to just be broodmares. They need to also be WEAPONS
SO what I was thinking that they would be larger than the sires by maybe a couple feet or so, they have larger teeth to defend themselves, they have thicker bodies to sustain any damage and to carry many sparklings/eggs, they have claws, etc.
That was Optimus.
Now, let's focus on Orion Pax.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, now imagine this (imma combine all sorts of ideas, so stay with me now): imma say that OP, in this universe, used to be a dock worker, alright? Dock workers were BIG. They all had some sort of upgrades in order to fit the qualifications of their job. BUT they also had these upgrades because the docks were so fucking dangerous that you would need to have all sorts of weapons and training just to survive the day.
Energon rations were scarce here, yes, so they had to fight for that, too. They had to fight for everything, basically. OP, who desperately didn't want to fight anymore but couldn't because he can't go the pacifist route in this line of work, killed a lot of mechs. He felt guilty because they never chose to fight to survive. They couldn't help that the caste system doesn't benefit them; it only serves to beat them down until they're nothing, used till they're deactivated from either turf wars or some other cause.
Orion Pax figures that if he can't go for pacifist, then he should try to lessen the amount of casualties by striking deals with some of the other gangs. Does it work? Not always but at least the number has gone down. When a mech deactivates, he sends them off to the Allspark with sorrowful prayers. When a mech is injured, he tries his best to repair them before carrying them to Ratchet, with some ending up dying.
The deaths, fighting, protests against the caste system, secret meetings, mechs getting tortured and executed-- all of these were getting to him. He doesn't have any means to save them from starvation, from the frigid winters and scorching summers, from the enforcers, from each other, from themselves.
And the only happy things going in his life are his found family and his sparklings, Mirage and Bumblebee, whom he carried.
His pregnancies were brutal, to say the least, no matter how much his Amicas tried their hardest to give him what he needs. No matter how many energon rations they gave him. No matter how much they tried to keep him from stressing or in any danger. No matter how much shanix they tried to spare/save to buy items for the sparklings. No matter how much blackmail and bribes they had on others / made just to keep OP safe and keep the dock workers afloat.
And the birth. Oh, Primus below, the birth. He couldn't even describe the pain he felt other than excruciating. He was in labor for almost a full cycle. And afterwards, he was so exhausted that he was too weak to try to hold his sparkling. Too tired to even keep his optics online.
Mirage--his firstborn, whom he was forced to give him up after the overseers discovered him. He knew that Mirage wasn't made for this life as he was only so young. He knew (even though he didn't want to admit it) that he couldn't keep him, not for long. He knew that he couldn't raise him here, not in a constant state of war.
Then, he had his little Bumblebee. He doesn't believe that Bee should live in a war-like environment either. But he doesn't want to give him up. No, not entirely. So he sends Bee to live with Ratchet and his conjunx, Deadlock, this time round.
Does Bee know that OP is his carrier? Yes. Does he know why he couldn't live with his mama? No. And he'll never know why for the next couple of vorns. Does he know what they all did to make sure that he had a good life? No.
Does Mirage know about him, that he's his carrier? No. Does he know anything about his past and the family he could have gotten? No. And he wouldn't meet them until later on, when the war broke out.
(This going down the angsty route was not what I intended but whatever)
Skip forward to when Orion Pax meets Gladiator Megatronus via fighting in the Pits.
How did he get there, you may ask?
Well, he got caught fighting some enforcers who were physically assaulting one of his Amicas, and he just snapped. And, in the end, he killed 2 of them while severely injuring the rest. He was then charged without a trial and immediately sent to the Pits since they saw it as going against the system.
The Pits were a lot like the Docks, he found out. Yes, you may have to fight to the death but wasn't that what they were practically doing anyway? Yes, you have to fight to earn medical care, energon rations (those were more than what they ever got in the Dockyard), frame upgrades, more training, etc. (At least there were most benefits. He hasn't felt this good since he onlined). Yes, you have to fight with mechs who you were close to. Yes, you have even have to kill them just to survive another cycle.
Anyway, he goes against everyone in the Pits, makes a name for himself and earns quite a reputation. He then goes against Megatronus. Everymech is expecting that he would put up a fight but not win. Every single one of them placed their bets on Megatronus.
They were proved wrong when Orion Pax manages to incapacitate him
Megatronus, who has never lost a match in several vorns, was suddenly beat by a mech who He was astounded. Yes, the mech is several feet taller and larger than him, but he had won matches against larger opponents than him! He should have won!
Mind you, he wasn't angry when he woke up. No, he was just in shock because, logically, he should have won. But this got him interested.
Who was the mech? Where did he come from? How did he beat him? All of these questions ran through his mind and no answer. Because of this, he has Soundwave look into it.
What he finds is almost nothing. There's a name, when he onlined, record of his working at the Docks and being a supervisor there, but nothing else. That has him intrigued.
Mind you, the Decepticons were just starting out by the time OP got put into the Pits. Meaning, he saw and quietly listened to the mech behind the speeches; the lyrical poetry coming from the spark; the way the crowd quiets when he speaks, eager to hear from the one that will lead them to victory; to see Megatronus and the way he offers comfort to those who need it; the way everymech is comfortable around him.
Megatronus, surprisingly, offers him a place in the cause. A position that would grant him the ability to oversee the operations of the cause. One that he would have to share with Soundwave (not that he minded. In fact, he was thrilled but he never let it show either in his face nor his EM field.)
(And when Megatronus leaves him gifts and spoiling him rotten as best as he could? Megs would only that they are just friends.)
(And during this time, Bumblebee began to ask questions. Why couldn't he visit mama anymore? Did he do something wrong? Did he do anything to upset mama, to make mama not allow him to visit him?
"No, little honeybee, you didn't. In fact, he wants you there, but we can't visit him anymore, alright?"
"But why?"
"Oh, you'll understand when you're older. You'll understand why mama wants to protect you."
He never did.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bumblebee finally gets to visit his carrier for the first time in 2 vorns! Sure, he got to exchange datapads filled with writings and little charms with it; he got to taste candies he got sent straight from Kaon; he received numerous gifts over that time; he got voice recordings from him; he even got shanix from him to spend! ("Don't spend it all, little bitlet. You have to save some for later on." "I know, mama.")
And when he got there with Ratchet and Deadlock, he already has several mechs cooing over him.
"Oh, how adorable that bitlet is!"
"Such a precious thing, ain't he?"
"Would you like this rust stick, little one? Or an entire bag, perhaps?"
"Maybe he'll like this trinket?"
When they finally manage to get to the location, Bee's already squirming out of Deadlock's hold.
"Hold on, bitlet! We need to find your carrier first!"
"Please? I'll be right here! I can be good!"
Ratchet sighs out of amusement. "Fine. You can let him go."
As soon as he's let go, he immediately sprints from them with the both of them shouting after him. He needs to find him!!
After a while of running, he slows to a walk, admiring everything around him. He snaps out of it after a few kliks.
He's using his EM field to find him because Ratty told him that he could find his mama this way!
By this point, every mech walking by turns to look at him, sensing the little EM field that was saying 'Mama! Mama! Where are youuuuuu!'. Bee is oblivious to it all.
Then, suddenly, he's being picked up by a pair of strong arms. He's squirming uncontrollably and in a mini fit of rage. He wants to find his carrier! Who is this mech!
The mech turns him around and it's Ratchet with Deadlock trailing behind him.
"Oh!" Bumblebee looks at them sheepishly.
"Oh, is right, bitlet. Now, don't go running off, trying to find your carrier, ya?"
"Okay..." Bumblebee pouts.
After a few breems of searching, Bee manages to find his carrier among the crowd of mechs surrounding the vicinity. He loudly chirps at him, startling everyone.
Said mechs turn around and look directly at him, causing him to hide his face in Ratchet's neck.
Orion Pax, who was talking to Megatronus and Soundwave, snaps his head at Bee, optics widening. Bee is here? He thought that he wouldn't see him for another few joors!
"Oh, sweetspark!" Orion is already moving towards them, oblivious to the stares he's getting.
He takes Bumblebee from Ratchet's arms and spins the both of them around. Bumblebee giggles in delight at finally being able to see his carrier!
When they settle down, Orion Pax turns and tells them that he won't be with them for the next couple of cycles.
He turns to Ratchet and they both leave, leaving Megatronus and the rest in confusion.
(And maybe Megatronus does find Orion attractive because of this. I mean, who wouldn't? Especially once you find out that they're a carrier. And maybe he does think about getting him sparked up with his babies this time round.)

And the birth. Oh, Primus below, the birth. He couldn't even describe the pain he felt other than excruciating. He was in labor for almost a full cycle. And afterwards, he was so exhausted that he was too weak to try to hold his sparkling. Too tired to even keep his optics online.
Mirage--his firstborn, whom he was forced to give him up after the overseers discovered him. He knew that Mirage wasn't made for this life as he was only so young. He knew (even though he didn't want to admit it) that he couldn't keep him, not for long. He knew that he couldn't raise him here, not in a constant state of war.
Then, he had his little Bumblebee. He doesn't believe that Bee should live in a war-like environment either. But he doesn't want to give him up. No, not entirely. So he sends Bee to live with Ratchet and his conjunx, Deadlock, this time round.
Does Bee know that OP is his carrier? Yes. Does he know why he couldn't live with his mama? No. And he'll never know why for the next couple of vorns. Does he know what they all did to make sure that he had a good life? No.
Does Mirage know about him, that he's his carrier? No. Does he know anything about his past and the family he could have gotten? No. And he wouldn't meet them until later on, when the war broke out.
(This going down the angsty route was not what I intended but whatever)
Skip forward to when Orion Pax meets Gladiator Megatronus via fighting in the Pits.
How did he get there, you may ask?
Well, he got caught fighting some enforcers who were physically assaulting one of his Amicas, and he just snapped. And, in the end, he killed 2 of them while severely injuring the rest. He was then charged without a trial and immediately sent to the Pits since they saw it as going against the system.
The Pits were a lot like the Docks, he found out. Yes, you may have to fight to the death but wasn't that what they were practically doing anyway? Yes, you have to fight to earn medical care, energon rations (those were more than what they ever got in the Dockyard), frame upgrades, more training, etc. (At least there were most benefits. He hasn't felt this good since he onlined). Yes, you have to fight with mechs who you were close to. Yes, you have even have to kill them just to survive another cycle.
Anyway, he goes against everyone in the Pits, makes a name for himself and earns quite a reputation. He then goes against Megatronus. Everymech is expecting that he would put up a fight but not win. Every single one of them placed their bets on Megatronus.
They were proved wrong when Orion Pax manages to incapacitate him
Megatronus, who has never lost a match in several vorns, was suddenly beat by a mech who He was astounded. Yes, the mech is several feet taller and larger than him, but he had won matches against larger opponents than him! He should have won!
Mind you, he wasn't angry when he woke up. No, he was just in shock because, logically, he should have won. But this got him interested.
Who was the mech? Where did he come from? How did he beat him? All of these questions ran through his mind and no answer. Because of this, he has Soundwave look into it.
What he finds is almost nothing. There's a name, when he onlined, record of his working at the Docks and being a supervisor there, but nothing else. That has him intrigued.
Mind you, the Decepticons were just starting out by the time OP got put into the Pits. Meaning, he saw and quietly listened to the mech behind the speeches; the lyrical poetry coming from the spark; the way the crowd quiets when he speaks, eager to hear from the one that will lead them to victory; to see Megatronus and the way he offers comfort to those who need it; the way everymech is comfortable around him.
Megatronus, surprisingly, offers him a place in the cause. A position that would grant him the ability to oversee the operations of the cause. One that he would have to share with Soundwave (not that he minded. In fact, he was thrilled but he never let it show either in his face nor his EM field.)
(And when Megatronus leaves him gifts and spoiling him rotten as best as he could? Megs would only that they are just friends.)
(And during this time, Bumblebee began to ask questions. Why couldn't he visit mama anymore? Did he do something wrong? Did he do anything to upset mama, to make mama not allow him to visit him?
"No, little honeybee, you didn't. In fact, he wants you there, but we can't visit him anymore, alright?"
"But why?"
"Oh, you'll understand when you're older. You'll understand why mama wants to protect you."
He never did.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bumblebee finally gets to visit his carrier for the first time in 2 vorns! Sure, he got to exchange datapads filled with writings and little charms with it; he got to taste candies he got sent straight from Kaon; he received numerous gifts over that time; he got voice recordings from him; he even got shanix from him to spend! ("Don't spend it all, little bitlet. You have to save some for later on." "I know, mama.")
And when he got there with Ratchet and Deadlock, he already has several mechs cooing over him.
"Oh, how adorable that bitlet is!"
"Such a precious thing, ain't he?"
"Would you like this rust stick, little one? Or an entire bag, perhaps?"
"Maybe he'll like this trinket?"
When they finally manage to get to the location, Bee's already squirming out of Deadlock's hold.
"Hold on, bitlet! We need to find your carrier first!"
"Please? I'll be right here! I can be good!"
Ratchet sighs out of amusement. "Fine. You can let him go."
As soon as he's let go, he immediately sprints from them with the both of them shouting after him. He needs to find him!!
After a while of running, he slows to a walk, admiring everything around him. He snaps out of it after a few kliks.
He's using his EM field to find him because Ratty told him that he could find his mama this way!
By this point, every mech walking by turns to look at him, sensing the little EM field that was saying 'Mama! Mama! Where are youuuuuu!'. Bee is oblivious to it all.
Then, suddenly, he's being picked up by a pair of strong arms. He's squirming uncontrollably and in a mini fit of rage. He wants to find his carrier! Who is this mech!
The mech turns him around and it's Ratchet with Deadlock trailing behind him.
"Oh!" Bumblebee looks at them sheepishly.
"Oh, is right, bitlet. Now, don't go running off, trying to find your carrier, ya?"
"Okay..." Bumblebee pouts.
After a few breems of searching, Bee manages to find his carrier among the crowd of mechs surrounding the vicinity. He loudly chirps at him, startling everyone.
Said mechs turn around and look directly at him, causing him to hide his face in Ratchet's neck.
Orion Pax, who was talking to Megatronus and Soundwave, snaps his head at Bee, optics widening. Bee is here? He thought that he wouldn't see him for another few joors!
"Oh, sweetspark!" Orion is already moving towards them, oblivious to the stares he's getting.
He takes Bumblebee from Ratchet's arms and spins the both of them around. Bumblebee giggles in delight at finally being able to see his carrier!
When they settle down, Orion Pax turns and tells them that he won't be with them for the next couple of cycles.
He turns to Ratchet and they both leave, leaving Megatronus and the rest in confusion.
(And maybe Megatronus does find Orion attractive because of this. I mean, who wouldn't? Especially once you find out that they're a carrier. And maybe he does think about getting him sparked up with his babies this time round.)

Not my best work but I was kinda running out of ideas sooooo yea😭
The draft I'm writing doesn't even have any ounce of valveplug (not yet at least). It's just full of angst😭
I'm putting optimus through it rn
Me rn:
Writer's block is kicking my ass rn so I'll probably have the Feral Broodmare OP AU post done by either Saturday or Sunday. (AND I discovered I have a water leak rn so :D)
ANYWAY
I have some ideas I want to share:
1. Dockyard Worker Orion getting endlessly courted/spoiled by Gladiator Megatronus after Megs got his aft saved by Orion since there was a turf war going on at the time. (Not happening the Broodmare OP universe btw). Cue some moments where Megs would send Orion datapads filled with poetry along with some crystal sweets. And when Megs finally sends him a vial of his innermost energon, he cries (happy tears).
2. OP, who was meant to be used only as a weapon for the council. I'm talking: he has built-in weaponry that formed with the protoform, 2 rows of sharp teeth (meant to bite whole chunks of protoform and armor), etc.
That's all I have rn so thank you for listening to my yapping session of the day :D
I love it, thank you for sharing Lux. and don't worry I can wait a day or two for the broodmare to come out.
OH MY GOD I THINK I JUST PASSED UP A JOB JUST BY DENYING THE PHONE CALL
I didn't even think about it. Imma tell you that. Phone number I don't recognize? Deny it.
AND THEN I REMEMBER WHERE IT'S FROM AND I IMMEDIATELY START PANICKING
Because WHAT IF I JUST PASSED THAT SHIT UP?????
Like I'm so done with this.
And I need this money soooooo.
I'm a fucking idiot tbh
Every time I see a notification from tumblr and I see that it's you, it immediately makes my day so much better
Lux I'm going to cry.
I'm so glad that I make you happy every time I post.

...I'm sorry, the first place my mind went was either 'Prowlswap' or 'meeting of the Prowls'.
Let's swap IDW with G1 and see how Megatron fairs with IDW Prowl as second in command XD.
G1 is going to be so out of place and the sad part I think a lot of bots would like G1 better than their own Prowl.
Probably Megatron killing everyone Optimus cares about to get to him and when Optimus rejects him, he can't handle that so he kidnaps OP and tortures him
Ykw imma probably write smth about that
ooo, and please do
Ratchet would be absolutely beside himself to see Omega Supreme plump with Nemesis's bitties
He was meant to keep Omega safe, that's his friend
Yes he would. He was supposed to keep him away from it all, and now Omega has bitties and is currently carrying the 10th little one.
Star ships like Omega I can see taking like 5 years to build another star ship sparkling in their forge.

I just know that the psychological trauma all these bots have from the Decepticons Win AU is WILD. They probably won't do the small things that they previously loved, or able to do (if they were injured or such). Do you think that some of them would try to kill their 'spouses'? What would be the repercussions of that? Would they be tortured or raped in front of everyone to see what would happen if they ever tried that?? What about the pregnancy losses (I think too much sometimes so sorry if this doesn't really appeal to you😭)?
Yes they are quite traumatized. They can not do what they used to think was fun, because it no longer is.
And hmm i've never really thought that far on if they tried to kill their mates. Well they've already been raped in front of bots when they were first bought. I think if they tried to kill their mates they'd be transfured to being a breeder until they cried about how wrong they were and they won't do it again, because being a breeder sucks.
Even more than having a mate, multiple mechs and fems dumping transflud into your forge every day for hours.
Oh Pregancie losses, I don't think that there would be that bad of repercussions, some birth rest before they can try again. But if it's deliberate, they are forced down, tied to something bed or chair, mostyly bed. They have their every move watched by a sitter while their mate is gone, it is torture.

"He has to fix this mech first, and then find out what kind of freak he is before valve domming him."
Brainstorm?
Valve domming Perceptor?
Wild.
As i understand, Brainstorm is a warframe. He is BIG just like any other warframe in tfa. It's hilarious to imagine how this jet is riding microscope's spike.
Please keep it, it's funny as fuck
He is big and he's going to let that mech fuck his valve. He's not going anywhere until his forge is filled.
This is all I got done for the damn fic.
I hate writer's block. (Also have some xe/xem Sentinel, also known as Avean for the better part of the beginning of the fic.)
I need Starscream to get Optimus pregnant so badly. Especially in Animated.
oughhhhh yeah, i'm right there with you anon
especially when you consider the size difference. starscream is giant in tfa, so imagine him getting optimus pregnant with a whole trine... optimus won't be able to hide his pregnancy for very long
and carrier optimus would be such a diva, let's be real. he's bratty, he's stubborn, and he's got his decepticon conjunx wrapped all the way around his digit. starscream wants the future heirs of his decepticon rule to be properly cared for, so he's gonna spoil optimus rotten. if optimus wants something, all he has to do is pout with those pretty lips and rub his pregnant belly, and starscream folds like origami.
(and if being cute doesn't work, optimus can still threaten to chop his head off. him being a carrier doesn't mean he can't still use his axe.)
The fact that I just realized I have to go to that damn building for my own ✨️education✨️ is wild and so the fic might come out like next month I think??? Idk imma have to see how much I work on it
I've been seeing so many works about Optimuses gathered together across the universe, and yeah, there's the general consensus that the Optimi would side-eye Bayverse and his (violent) downward spiral, but c'mon!
Where's the side-eye towards TFP? I don't mean with the bromance between him and Megatron, I'm talking about TFP being his unintentional feral, awkward self.
Unlike his other counterparts, TFP had come from the boonies of nowhere and straight-up wilds, and then got his education from a recluse that's in so many political pies and skills from a multitude of people from a variety of backgrounds.
Like there are Things that TFP's friends, coworkers, close advisors, and teammates just... accept because it's Orion Pax/Optimus Prime.
He may have assumed responsibility over his collection of teens, but he isn't really close to them, so they don't see the shit that the others do. Even Smokescreen has moments where his thoughts are like, "Is this a Prime-thing? It must be a Prime-thing!"
Like give me the Optimus that will literally go into an in-depth discussion on the unique culture of each city-state can be stemmed by the Primes they either patroned or championed, but will straight up eat raw Energon crystal because there's a line at the convertor. 10/10 would lick a cave wall to determine its composition. (In fact, this is how Megatronus met Orion. This guy straight up took a bite of someone's art project/stupid dare because he couldn't understand egging pranksters and didn't drop from the inedibles of dark arts.) He likes long drives (makes sense, he's a convoy), free style rock-climbing off of cliffs (what), and can parkour off a ridiculous building (WHAT)
He's the equivalent of the human would eat the plastic imitation fruit and either politely say it's not his thing or finish it off if it was scented. The buff nerd that's weirdly quiet and would have the knowledge to homebrew pyrotechnics and utilize them if necessary. You would never expect this guy to be outdoorsy, he is. Very. Can tell people which wild plants or animals will cause vivid hallucinations or sleep paralysis in an offhand manner. Do not get this guy shit-faced: everything will become surreal.
I am cooking something up in the transformers community: SENTINEL PRIME X OPTIMUS PRIME!!
Tho there's gonna be some worldbuilding and (probably) slow burn, violence, and some other things. Idk yet
This is about to be one massive post, bigger than the last one (most likely).
I'm literally doing an entire fic on here just to see how it does then imma probably move it to AO3 (I'm using AO3 Archiver FUCK)
