    Summary

    If Childe had been paying attention and turned around he would have seen Pulcinella with his head in his hands, a Harbinger in a floppy orange dress rubbing his back. The only thing stopping Scaramouche from bursting into laughter was a glare from Signora, whose fingernails were biting into her palms with such force as to break the skin. Capitano actually let out a chuckle before covering his mouth and then Dottore’s, who would have bitten him if his mask allowed it. Sandrone looked ready to blow a gasket, which as always his dog ears flapping ruined the intimidation that might have caused, and Pantalone next to him looked as unaffected as ever. And Colombina… well it was hard to tell if she just didn’t care or was actually seething. Probably somewhere in the middle. Pierro was very proud of his fellow harbingers.

     

    Childe thought the most challenging part of being the Tsaritsa's Vanguard was going to be the eventual rebellion against Celestia where they were all likely going to be decimated. However, somehow navigating his relationships with his fellow Harbingers was a worse minefield, yet a path he wanted to walk all the same.

    Summary

    V1 was a machine without a past and heading into nothingness, acting as the only thing he had been trying to run away from all along: Death itself. As the ultimate harbinger of death, he had no joy in life but terrorizing.

    It took one angel to change everything, for the all-devouring machine of ultimate destruction to deem life as his most sacred thing. He knew he had changed forever when he saw love in blood, adoration in gold, and salvation in Gabriel’s presence. Logic and utility lost meaning before his gradient presence; his chuckles a strike against the emptiness of existence. The world was no longer to thrive in its destruction, but to gift it to Gabriel. Bullets stopped before his presence, cries of war turned into hymns.

    Or maybe they had always been that way, only V1 was the enforcer of the fate he had been trying to run away from all along. But with an angel who taught him to live the life he had been trying to preserve for so long, maybe there waited a future where civilization thrived once more. Built just to make one angel happy—Gabriel didn’t have to know that detail.

    Or: V1’s overwhelming love breaks him free from his fate, and he learns to value life to make Gabriel happy.

    Summary

    Is it running from your problems if your problems consider you to be a dead imprint of consciousness that killed their son? Yes, but Danny tries not to think about how his nightmares of his parents trying to kill him came true when they found out he was Phantom.

    After being on the run from his parents and the government for a couple of months, moving from town to town, Danny ends up in Gotham City and decides to risk staying in Batman's territory. He'd take the wrath of Batman over live vivisection via beloved parents or being studied and torn apart by the government. Besides, he's not a meta. Being dead is a medical condition.

    Summary

    "He scanned around him, gray walls, gray floor, metal everywhere. His optics caught on a heavy metal door on the right, a probably complicated lock adorning the structure. His spark sunk, this might be harder than he thought.

    The tug of chains caught his audials again. Confused, his gaze wandered slowly in front of him, intakes hitching when he realized there were several tons of beige and purple plating sitting right there. The triple changer was sitting with his knees to the floor, lower limbs tucked behind him. His frame was tense.

    When Bumblebee lifted his optics to meet the other mechs, a red and black faceplate grinned at him, servo tugging up in a short wave. Bumblebee stared, terrified. Of course this would happen to him, of course he was stuck in this tiny cell with Blitzwing of all mechs. It’s not like he could catch a break or anything!"

    ...

    Blitzwing and Bumblebee find themselves trapped by an enemy who should have stayed dead. An unsteady truce blooms between them, though Blitzwing can't help but wonder if he wants more.

    Blitzwing and Bumblebee centric ♡

    Summary

    "Were we friends before?" Blitzwing asks. When Bumblebee doesn't immediately answer, Blitzwing continues, "I know you tried to shoot me, but if you're helping me now... does that mean we were friends at some point?"

    Blitzwing's blue face doesn't have any expression in particular, but Bumblebee can hear the hesitance in his voice. Some strange mix of hope and sadness.

    Bumblebee should shake his head. So he does, eventually, but he can't help how awful he feels having to admit it. He's lied enough to Blitzwing. He turns his head, not wanting to meet the mech's optics, instead surveying the glistening snow around them.

    "No, we weren't." He starts slowly, feeling a lump in his throat. "But, I mean. I couldn't just leave you there on your own, right? Didn't feel right to abandon you."

    He doesn't know how or when it started. There were many chances he could have taken; there were times when he'd done nothing but wait for easy opportunities to shoot, to run, to kill. But things kept going wrong. And eventually he stopped planning. He stopped thinking about how to get away.

    When did that stop?

    -

    Blitzwing gets amnesia. Bumblebee is the only other person around who can help him.
