👀how do they feel about voyeurism? exhibitionism? 🏬would they have sex in public? if so, how public is too public? 🤪what’s the wildest place they’ve ever done something sexual?

If someone's putting on a show I might watch it provided it's not too intimate. I don't want to watch other people spark-merging. That is just too weird. You and Ratchet are the only people I want seeing my spark and the only sparks I want to see.

I mention this only because when we were all brats in Rodion I lived with Soundwave. Because he forgot that most people don't automatically just know if anyone within a 60 mile radius of them is having sex and what kind, he also forgot to close doors sometimes. I have seen both his spark and Ravage's and I did not actually want to.

I have had sex in public kind of a lot but it was often because I was too fucked up on drugs to care.

My primary objection to public sex is not embarrassment.

It's that if the sex is any good, you'll be paying attention to the sex, and this will leave anyone who might want to stab you in the back a golden opportunity.

I don't know what the wildest place I ever had sex in was because I probably blacked out during or after. I don't remember very much of the craziest part of my life.

Almost everyone had sex at the Conclave parties and in full view of everyone else, but everyone there was in the Conclave. It wasn't private but it really wasn't public either.

"No."

Deadlock's voice is full of finality.

"Megatron, you're an innocent. There are so many things here you're just not aware of. First of all, Impactor has probably already shot off his mouth about Ravage and how much he wants to get you away from her. If he can't stop talking about that in the presence of her siblings and amica, nothing will stop him from telling the people he thinks are his friends."

He raises one fingertip.

"Secondly, if you are taken to the arena and you prove to be valuable, they will make you talk. And they can. And you know way too much about us and what we are doing."

He raises a second fingertip.

"I can think of at least five ways to kidnap someone out of a public place in Rodion and get away with it, mostly by capitalising on the fact that most people in the Dead End do not get involved in other people's problems and do not acknowledge anything they see that might cause them problems later. I have seen people dragged kicking and screaming out of bars before."

He shakes his head. "No. We are not giving them an opportunity to kidnap you. If he wants to speak to you in person, Impactor will have to come here. Ravage won't show herself; that's because she and I will be out of sight, ready to blow his fool helm off if needed."

Before Deadlock can object, Ravage looks up at Megatron and sighs. "Tell him via commlink. I can feel, in your field, that you care for him, but also, that you don't completely trust him. If the traffickers really care about getting all of you, and Impactor really thinks this is a good idea, it wouldn't be very hard at all to convince him to help rope you in, and if they can get out of here fast enough, they won't really care that you didn't sign a contract. They can fake that up if they have to--as long as they have your body. And if you turn out to be good at it and don't just die because you hesitate to kill strangers for no good reason, and they find out that you have a mate and illegal offspring, they will come after me in order to keep you in line."

::I'm happy for you. And for her. There were times i never thought the war would end.::

::Old news, and badly put by Leozack, who is the last person in your inner circle to have seen me. I'm not an Autobot or a Decepticon anymore. I am Ratchet's conjunx, though.::

[i-am-drift-locked]

::We are. Very well. The way I understood it, Sanctuary Station, the Warworlds, and Velocitron at the very least are separate Decepticon states, even though she is Vox Destron--and everyone wants it to remain that way, so long as people can move freely between them. Sanctuary is also a Concordicon state.::

Drift--Deadlock--honestly, he doesn't really care that much anymore, but Ratchet does--sighs.

::But aren't you also now conjunct, and to one of Ravi's friends? And Lyzack and Leozack figured out that their mother, Pounce, was also Ravage's sister Pounce.::

@i-am-drift-locked started following you!

Deathsaurus snorted, spines briefly flaring at the unexpected ping.

The only reason I didn't put Impactor through the wall today was that the wall I would have had to put him through was the wall of the house where Ravage and Gasket live.

Where I would be living, if I didn't live with Ratchet.

Under my soon-to-be-deadname, because nobody needs to know that he's conjunct with the Decepticon terrorist everyone In Iacon's aft-slagging terrified of.

As they should be.

Impactor is Megatron's friend but if he finds out too much about what we are actually doing here before he gets over himself, I might have to kill him.

I don't want to do that to Megatron; the kid was D-16 until yesterday, and I'm pretty sure he and Ravi have never been in love before. They are both too fragging young. But she's brilliant and he's no slouch and Ravi deserves this.

I like Frenzy and Rumble, but I'm pretty sure Impactor's brain module is at least 75% lead, even if Ratty says that isn't possible.

Actually if you want to be extremely literal about it, the word for sin in the oldest Primal Vernacular manuscripts I've ever seen translates to "missing the target".

So maybe it means you're just a really bad shot.

"Fuck," says Deadlock, and buries his face in his hands.

"No," he says after a moment. "No, no, no. We don't have overseers here. We're against that...that whole concept."

His entire demeanour softens.

"I love Ravage. She's my amica. A lot of mechs have hurt her. She hasn't let anyone get this close to her since she came out here. She used to work for the Senate."

Deadlock sighs, because it's clear that D-16 does not comprehend the situation he's in.

"When Ravage came out here, she said she wouldn't let anyone touch her ever again. She tore a mech's hand off and made him eat it one time. Another time she blasted someone's array clean through. They both deserved it, but...the way she was acting with you isn't normal for her. I...knew it wouldn't last, because I know she was in love with someone once, but. I thought it would last longer than this. And if anyone ever hurts her again, I will kill them."

"Before we get too cosy," Ravage says, slipping away from D-16 with a gentle pat, "let me get us some fuel before the birds drink most of it. You're the only one in our group who's going to need as much as they do."

A moment or two later there's a knock on the door; Ravage would probably not knock on her own door. It's the one they were calling 'Drift' last night.

He strides into the room, but he squats near the recharge slab. "I need to tell you two things, D-16."

He cycles a vent in and out. "First of all, I'm really glad you decided to join us, because you invited yourself to a meeting that was supposed to be private, and would have been, if Flamewar and Flipsides hadn't decided to get loaded. Can't blame them, I've been there, but you need to forget what people were calling me last night, because they were loaded as fuck. I'm Deadlock and that's all you know. Don't know if you've heard of me, but if you have, you'll know why you need to forget I have another name. Just delete-and-replace in your contacts and long-term memory."

Then he sits down.

"I'm glad to have you with us. But I also need to tell you that I know you spent the night with Ravage. Ravage is tough and she can take care of herself really well, and you seem like a nice kid, but if you manage to hurt her anyway, I will personally disassemble you piece by piece and feed your frame to scraplets before I hit you with Rossum's three shots. I really want her to have fun, and she's cute, but she's been hurt a lot before, and my conjunx, whom you will not see at any of our meetings, and will only meet if you're very unlucky, considers himself her daddy."

The miner freezes on pure instinct, armor flattening; submitting to the smaller mech. "... Are you the overseer here, then?" He asks, careful. "And... And I'm not going to hurt Ravage. She gave me a job."

A pause.

"... I want to help."

"I don't think there is any point in wondering what the Matrix wants until it tells us," Drift says quietly. "The Circle of Light told me that most of the recent Primes haven't had Matrixes at all, and none of them have been 'completed' by a Protector. Shockwave once told me that he chose Orion Pax to be Prime, but his first choice had been someone else, until some idiot installed a tape deck in the matrix chamber he'd built into that candidate's thorax."

"I didn't know they had children, either," says Ratchet. "We didn't exactly give the Decepticons access to hot spots after the war began, but there were supposed to be hundreds of thousands of sparked photonic crystals in the Grindcore vaults, and Glit didn't leave behind even one. So we can't assume the Decepticons haven't been using those sparks to repopulate themselves."

Then what Drift just said sinks all the way in. "Well then. Make Soundwave be Prime. We'll have three of them then, you can all take turns."

there-had-to-be-a-better-way:

“Ravage doesn’t know where her daughter is,” said Ratchet, confused by Rodimus’ question. “I didn’t ask whether she knew she had a child–I assumed they weren’t telling her that they knew where her daughter was until they could get her back, mostly so that Ravage wouldn’t teleport herself to Cybertron out of rage alone and get herself killed.”

“You were right the first time,” said Drift. “It’s we, not just you. And what if it’s okay that this is all we get, because we can figure it out for ourselves from here? If this is it…you still have us. You still have a ship. You still have friends here in the Sol System and also on Cybertron. That’s not so bad, is it?”

"... Yeah. That makes more sense." Rodimus allowed. "I guess I didn't know her and Soundwave had kids."

He tips to the side, leans more against Drift. "We have each other. And a ship." He agrees. "And friends. I don't. I'm not sure if I want to go back to Cybertron though." He adds. "I'm a Prime. Or... I was. It could upset things. And... I don't know if I want that kind of leadership, official or not."
