Summary
The feeling was already there when it became aware of life for the first time.
It was eternally graceful and wise.
The feeling would still be there long after its awareness of life had faded for the last time.
It was eternally graceful and cruel.Or: When Primus created a newspark to save the life of its Prime, he did not expect his little puppet to survive its first mission. However, when the sparkling is surprisingly saved through the capable servos of a certain, grumpy medic, the god is not opposed either. Instead, he recognizes this as his opportunity to influence and ultimately end the War on Cybertron through his creation—no matter the cost.
Or, put more crassly: A retelling of Transformers Prime with Bumblebee as Primus’ puppet.

Angstober 2024 TFP Oneshots by MerlinFromBerlin
Fandom Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime
06 Dec 2025
Summary
The 10 oneshots I wrote for Angstober 2024.
-> between c. 300 and 1800 words long
-> lots of Dadchet and/or Dadimus Prime
-> mostly Gen: pairings/romance may be mentioned, implied or present in the background but never the focus of the story
-> lots of Bee-centric stuff (because I am nothing if not predictable) but not only
-> quite a lot of stuff where I just allowed myself to have some fun while experimenting with writing, headcanons, style, formatting, and other things.
(- technically it's 9 oneshots and 1 twoshot (the second chapter of which will not be based on an Angstober prompt))
(- technically, I also wrote the first two chapters of A Little Left of Right based on Angstober 2024 prompts, but took it out of this series because it's no longer a one- or even twoshot)Find the full prompt list HERE on tumblr.
