soshoni.livejournal.comThis is inspired by... several stories I've read, where Soundwave's cassettes turn out to be his sparklings.
It won't stop gnawing at my ankles, but I can't seem to write anything (much less something that satisfies it). Hopefully, sharing it here will distract the darn thing for a while.
Rumble and Frenzy have been hiding in plain sight as symbiotes for eons, but they're going to have a find a new way to protect themselves and their sparklings: Ravage, Ratbat, Buzzsaw, Laserbeak and... Soundwave.
Seriously, this won't shut up.
Soundwave, one of his cassette's sparklings.
Now, in my head, Soundwave's the youngest, but the only one of them whose systems can run a larger mech body, but that puts the most emotionally vulnerable in the most contact with the decepticons on a daily basis. The mask and visor kept him from betraying his youth and relative innocence: either from expressions or because it'd be obvious just on seeing his features.
And then cue something like someone sinister finding out and they have to seek sanctuary with the Autobots, or the Seekers find out and protection protocols activate, or the war's over and everyone goes "Zuh?". One of those fanfiction staples that I just love reading.
