Ive Written The 3rd Chapter Of You Can Run, But You Cant Hide (planning To Post It Tomorrow) But I Also

I’ve written the 3rd chapter of You Can Run, But You Can’t Hide (planning to post it tomorrow) but I also got another idea for something that happens next. It would be a small arc taking up maybe 2-3 chapters.

I couldn’t decide whether to post this next bit as a new work or another chapter of the current work, so I’m putting it up to a poll.

No malice here, but please change your profile picture to something other then default. There's a huge bot problem on this site, and I keep thinking you are one of them. It could be as simple as an A on a white background, but a lot of people have had to go scorched earth on anyone with a default profile picture

Fair enough, I have been putting it off. I changed it to a landscape pic I took for g/t inspiration a while back until I figure out something better.

Absolutely, Aster is not very happy but they do get their revenge.

Grabs you by the scruff

UNHAND ME YOU CRETIN

Chapter 5! The final chapter count should absolutely be 6 since I’m halfway through writing it and no plot bunnies have hit me upside the head yet!

Transformers being fascinated by the differences between their recharge and human sleep.

When a Transformer is in recharge they are almost always completely still. Even in the throes of dreams and nightmares their frame remains almost entirely immobile, flat on their back, servos to their sides. Humans, meanwhile, sleep so recklessly. Heads cocked, limbs sprawled, hands and feet hanging off the edge of their tiny beds. Floppy and limp-limbed, sometimes they move, adjust, or even talk while in the depths of their little organic recharge.

Bots like Optimus, Bumblebee, Arcee, they've been around humans for long enough that it no longer fazes them. Sure, it's odd. But they just chalk it up to another weird thing that humans do that can't completely be rationalized. Autobots and Decepticons who don't get as much contact with humans however, find it vaguely creepy.

Ultra Magnus telling you multiple times to speak up before realizing with a shudder that you've been recharging the entire time, yet somehow holding a mostly-cognizant conversation.

Thundercracker always keeping a hand around you when you want to cuddle because he's paranoid you're going to roll off his berth in your sleep and SPLAT! onto the floor.

Swerve finding the idea of 'sleep-walking' silly until he finds you standing in the dark hallway facing the wall and muttering to yourself. He screams so loud he wakes up half the Lost Light crew.

Soundwave shifting uncomfortably when he can feel you rolling around and readjusting yourself in his cassette bay, soft little hands and feet pressing up against the interior walls.

Meanwhile humans are always telling them how unsettling it is that they sleep so still! Comparisons to zombies, vampires, corpses, they go right over the bots heads. Why do humans think it's weird when they're always moving around like possessed little puppets in their recharge?!?

Just watched Pacific Rim and a bit of Pacific Rim: The Black and the g/t potential. I’m already working on a little something, but here are just some quick thoughts.

Obviously, the whole plot is just tiny humans piloting these giant mechs so that works perfectly. The sheer vastness of a bot that can pick up trucks and toss them around like it’s nothing is incredible! Some of the shots just gave me shivers.

Adding onto this is the idea I like best of the bots being aware with their own personalities and connections to their pilots. Just a giant machine harbouring weapons made to kill giant monsters willingly working with a pair of humans that it could wipe out so easily. But it won’t because it’s fond of the tiny pilots they protect. And the knowledge that they choose to work with humans would definitely be a humbling reveal if it wasn’t known from the start.

It’s just such a cute idea! Just protective bots and their human pilots.
