Delicious-skeleton-pie - All I See Is RED...

This is a fantastic headcanon by the lovely @praise-kink-anon who gave me permission to write it! Thank you!!

(Ratchet develops a parental/friend bond with Sideswipe and Sunstreaker during the war, but due to unfortunate circumstances they are terminated on the battlefield. But, years later, when he and Drift decide to kindle newsparks, they get their little lambos back. This time as cute ass sparklings)

Ratchet couldn’t stop staring.

By no means did he believe in Primus, and nor had he ever believed in anything of the like, for that matter.

But the universe was tricky. Hard to understand. Challenging and cruel, but sometimes surprising.

And sometimes, Ratchet did find his beliefs being tested.

A brief fragment of a memory, stirring away in the back of his processor came to drift back, tickling familiarity as purple optics blinked back at him.

He was old, his memory fuzzy at best, but he couldn’t forget those optics.

Young and frenzied, fighting in a war they had been built for.

Too young and too… innocent.

But now they were back, and Ratchet couldn’t quite place his digit on whether things really did happen in coincidence.

Because in all honesty, it felt like a dream. A lovely one, but sick and cruel and tormenting.

As if he were going to wake, and the beings he missed most were going to be torn right from his servos.

But he didn’t wake.

There was no recharge purge.

Nothing to shatter the wave of bliss that had washed over him.

First Aid had brushed it off as a first-time sire being in awe of the tiny sparklings that were /his/.

And he was in awe.

In shock, actually.

Sideswipe squirmed, fingers still curled around his brother’s, and the particular glint that was flickering through his optics, cheeky and mischievous, told Ratchet everything he needed to know.

Even if it felt oddly dangerous, as if he were messing with something he shouldn’t have.

And it was, the very thought of Cybertronians- or any being for that matter, getting reincarnated, in his books, was inane.

Impossible.

But Ratchet could either take it or leave it.

He could give them new designations, urge for paintjobs that weren’t red and yellow, hammer out the plotting that was certainly already brewing in Side- his creations optics.

But in good conscience, the answer was no.

He couldn’t.

Not when spilt spark twins, a rarity in themselves, were lying curled in his arms. Blinking familiar optics, morphing into frames he had seen dead and smoking on the battlefield.

It would be cruel not to.

He couldn’t tear away a second chance.

But whether it was for them, or for him, he couldn’t tell. Nor would he ever.

Sunstreaker kicked out a foot, Sideswipe following the uncoordinated flail with a wiggle of his own, before both of them yawned.

It drew Drift’s attention, and for the fourth time that cycle he asked for designation ideas.

Ratchet smiled, and gently poked at the dimples piled on rounded cheeks.

“Isn’t it obvious?”

Once I change, you’ll stop changing. What do you think you’ll be? A flea, I hope.

“My children… You grew up so fast.” “We need your help…”

Almost ready to fight Chara.

Loved that new episode...got inspired by some of the “plants” so here are some illustrations of them.

I know I ask this every time. Metadow

who’s the cuddler:

Mmmmm I think once Shadow sort of introduces (lack of better word lol) Metal to cuddling and that, Metal would become the cuddly one. He’d probably become curious about affection and affectionate acts and that, so.

who makes the bed:

Metal? I’d imagine Shadow’s always in a hurry to get out of bed and head off to G.U.N HQ, and doesn’t bother. Meanwhile Metal gets huffy and puffy that he doesn’t ever clean up and makes the bed and everything haha.

who wakes up first:

Shadow. I feel like he would be a very light sleeper, no matter how much Metal lectures him on how it’s important to get 8 hours sleep. 

who has the weird taste in music:

Metal. I think he’d be so fascinated by music, so he’d listen to every kind of music and probably decide “yes, I like this”. Bonus if he discovers Rick Astley and unintentionally Rick Rolls Shadow.

who is more protective:

Metal. I suppose that’s part of his programming, though. I mean, though his main purpose is to defeat Sonic, I guess part of his programming would also to protect Eggman. Which, since in this case Metal is sentient/can feel emotion/etc, that could also be applied to those he cares about.

who sings in the shower:

Shadow. Metal plays the backing track outside of the bathroom whilst he’s singing. Then the bathroom suddenly turns into a really shitty recreation of Pop Idol haha

who cries during movies:

Shadow. Since he’s the only one who can cry in this relationship.

who spends the most while out shopping:

Shadow. If he’s out alone shopping, he probably just gets carried away. When Metal is with him, Metal makes sure they only get what they need.

who kisses more roughly:

Shadow? Since Metal doesn’t have a mouth. If he did, Metal would be rougher.

who is more dominant:

Metal. I think Shadow lets him be dominant most of the time, haha.

my rating of the ship from 1-10:

10, of course. lmao

I opened a nsfw account after all. I guess you’ll see it next time I post something in the valveplug tag, or if you ask it via the ask box (du).

I once thought I couldn’t love a cartoon about giant robots, but here I am.
