    Summary

    Seven years is hardly a long stretch of time, not with how long their species lives for, but these past few years have felt like his entire life—all he is and all he ever will be. So this, the bridge connecting the gap between his before and after, feels nothing short of a planetary collision.

    “I thought you were…” Jetfire’s smile dissolves almost instantly at the unspoken last word hanging in the air between them.

    “Dead? I hear that a lot lately,” Max says, hoping Jetfire won’t notice how his voice has changed, whetted down to a fine point by time. “I can’t imagine why.”

    (Or: a relationship in two parts, seven years apart)

    Summary

    The semi’s petulance needed to be stopped, before he got a full helm of steam under him.

    “Do you deny your master’s command?” Onslaught growled, the word master tasting like acid on his glossa.

    Onslaught is assigned by Megatron to train Motormaster, much to the Combaticon's chagrin.

    Now including art from @Wafferreyes on Tumblr.

    Summary

    Rung’s expression softens into something horribly sympathetic. Max knows how it all must look to him by now, the picture it paints of him. “You know… It’s natural to feel a sort of empathy with those who have experienced something similar.”

    “Empathy,” Max repeats, rolling the word around in his mouth and finding that it doesn’t quite encompass it, not entirely. “I don’t think that’s it. Not entirely. I feel… envious. That it was over so quickly. I wish… it could have been over like that for me."

    After a win against the Decepticons, Jazz just needs a quiet place to sort himself out. But all the other autobots don't seem to get the memo. Well, all except one.
