    Summary

    Arthur grins at him, waves his chubby hand. "Father!" he says, because he knows he should be formal with his father. There is no Pa here, no Dad or Da.

    There's something shiny on his father's head. He points to it. "What's that?"

    "Prince Arthur!" hisses the woman holding him, but his father only chuckles. The woman relaxes, just slightly.

    "It's a crown, my son. One day, you will wear one just like it."

    Arthur tilts his head, curiously. "What colour is it?" He thinks it's grey, just a shade off of the silver of the swords. It's the same silver-grey as half of the household's shiny jewelry, a not quite true silver. He doesn't think he likes it.

    "It's gold," says his father. "There's a lot of gold here in Camelot, my son."

    Arthur nods his head, and labels that silver-ish colour gold in his mind.

     

    (Or: in a world where you can't see the colour of your soulmate's eyes until you meet them, Arthur can't see gold, and it makes his life as a prince much more difficult.)

    Summary

    Still, his spark sank as Megatron slowly stepped back, that furious stare now incredulous, as if Optimus had done far more than inquire into his love life. “I cannot—you—after all this, you want me to look for a conjunx endura?”

    Optimus felt helpless. How was he supposed to tell Megatron any more clearly that he just wanted him to be happy? “If you want one, yes!”

    [Megatron is a bit of a romantic. Optimus needs clear communication, and ideally a tax form.]

    Summary

    An unexpected cold snap hits the base, and the kids get too chilly while playing in the snow. Even though he swears he doesn't care, Ratchet ends up going out of his way to warm them back up. In the end, this devolves into a giant cuddle puddle on the base floor. And Ratchet will STILL insist he hates the kids, as he does.

    Summary

    Ratchet thought he'd lost Drift for good a long time ago. It hurt, but he'd eventually come to accept it was just another part of his life the war took from him.

    Then Drift shows up. And Ratchet was prepared for the pain and the hurt in seeing him leave before he got to say goodbye again, but then Drift stays.
