    Summary

    "The first old dusty datapads he found the poetry on were in the back of the library in the Elite Guard academy. They were worn and cracked, with peeling protectant and flickering backlights. Despite this, Optimus picked a couple of them up and added them to a pile he was collecting. The assigned paper was on pre-war literature and examining how the war changed it. All of the datapads Optimus had checked out for it were returned except for the poetry. He requested an extension for those."

    With Quintessons attacking Autobot and Decepticon colonies alike, Optimus finds himself spending more time with Decepticons in a non-hostile environment than he was used to. This, of course, leads to casual conversation (what else do you say to the mech you just watched rip apart a MTO Quintesson soldier with his bare servos?) and Optimus finds himself getting the answer to an age old question he really wanted the answer to.

    But he's not too sure how he feels about the answer.

    Summary

    In the wake of war came many things- anger, distrust, disappointment, negotiations and eventual exile. Shouldering half the blame for his peoples’ near destruction and forced to live out the rest of his days offworld with his former archenemy, Optimus makes the best of the situation.

    Summary

    Perhaps it’s the knowledge that if Optimus dies, that idiot Sentinel takes charge of the Autobots. Perhaps it’s that Megatron wanted another kill to add to his tally. Perhaps it’s the tug of anguish and sorrow that the thought of Optimus dying evokes within him. He would rather not consider the latter too deeply.

    (Or five times Megatron protects Optimus and one time Optimus protects Megatron.)

    Optimus is the one carrying the sparkling, yet is still, somehow, the last to know.
