If I didn't try to escape, how/what would make Drift realize I'm sentient?
Uuuuuh probably the emotions he’d be able to feel through the connection the collar gives him. With time he’d realize that these emotions he’s getting from you are WAY more complex than those of a simple animal or a being with limited intelligence. Time would go on and he’d realize eventually. Either way it’s a punch to the gut revelation for him.
How traumatized was the human in Desperation Vs Domestication when they were nommed for the very first time?
Oh, SO traumatized. A little hint of backstory for you, but when they were with the Decepticons who first took them from Earth, this sort of thing never happened. The Decepticons were never interested in tasting them, just keeping them as a pet because duh, humans look cute. I’d like to think that the idea of eating humans is relatively new, and it’s something that’s started purely within the Autobot ranks-kind of ironic for the heroes to come up with the idea, isn’t it? And though Drift has never meant the human any harm, I can assure you that the first time he ever swallowed them down was a terrible experience for both of them. It ended with the human screaming and sobbing their head off and Drift being panicked because he has no clue what’s going on to make the human this scared. He’s just trying to show them that he’s safe! His tank would never hurt them! But obviously the poor human doesn’t know that.
It got better as time went on as the human came to realize Drift’s intentions, but it was a very rocky beginning.
Wow okay that was super quick!! Welp, REQUESTS ARE CLOSED! Thank you to the two lucky people who sent their requests in and got a spot! Look out for your answered fics in the future!!!

I will forever think about what could've happened if Drift actually managed to catch the human before they successfully escaped, the way you wrote the stakes and the tension of the situation overall was phenomenal! just the human escaping and giving a sense of relief to whomever is reading but also showcasing the emotional aspect, That Drift does care but he doesn't see the human as equal nor treat them as such, its just so good!
WAAAAGH THANK YOU ANON!!! I really wanted to write the idea of escaping and almost being caught well, so I'm happy I did a good job with that! The story is meant to be emotional, with the reader knowing that Drift cares about them, but that they also can't stay with him due to the loss of autonomy they've experienced. This is so epic to hear that I wrote the emotional aspect of the story in a good way! Thank you again!!! :D
If they somehow got over the communication/language barrier (as well as the fear of being found by Drift), would the reader choose to give Drift a second chance? 😳🤔 or have to choice to do so? I'd run the fuck away from him as fast as I can if this happened to me, not gonna lie- but I'm sure a desperate and hopefully guilty robot would make that hard to do lmfao
ALSO HIII I LOVE YOUR STORIES THEY MAKE ME SMILE SMILE SMILE
HI CHAMELANON ITS SO GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!! I'm so happy my stories make you smile, thank you so much for the support!!!
Hmm, these are spoilers, so I can't answer the question in full detail. However I can say that if Drift finds you, he's going to be extremely guilty. I don't think he's going to expect your forgiveness-he's hurt you, and your understandably terrified of him. He'd never expect forgiveness for how he's treated you-but he wants you to know how sorry he is, and would try to convey that. Whether you end up giving him a second chance or running the fuck away is up to you.
I'd probably end up giving him a second chance because my heart would be so moved and I wouldn't be able to forget how well he treated me when I was with him. Would I go back to the Lost Light with him though? Absolutely not.
I love when Drift picks up his Little One, and nuzzles his nose into their torso bc it's such a cute image. He's such a big cat sometimes it's adorable. :)
I imagine it would tickle to have him do that, and then laugh or purr. The vibrations of his laughter rumbling through his nose, and shakes the little human in his hands.
GOD ANON I LOVE IT WHEN HE DOES THAT TOO! I like writing Transformers to have some animalistic qualities to them. Including the vocalizations like purrs, growls, and chuffs are some of my favorite things to write. You are on point with the big cat thing; I write them to be best compared to big cats.
Drift is a very affectionate bot. He may not show it in public often with other Cybertronians, but with you? Oh, he's all over you. He loves holding his little one and showing how much he adores them through physical touch. He LOVES making you laugh, and if his purrs make you giggle, he's going to chuckle lovingly and keep at it, nuzzling you more and feeling the way his purrs make you vibrate. The happier he is, the louder they are, and you know he's at his happiest when he has you to dote over.
So yeah, if you take anything away from my writing, take away that Cybertronians are just big cats from space LOL.
I wonder what is going on in Drift's mind before he finds me since he now knows I'm sentient. Will he do a bit of research on some of Earth's culture when he gets to the planet? He'll probably learn just enough english to communicate.
Much of the answers to these are unfortunately spoilers for part 3, so I can't say much! I will say however that Drift is absolutely devastated. He now knows you are fully self aware and he's basically been keeping a sapient creature as a pet. Not only that, but many of his Autobot comrades are too. It really makes him second guess himself about how much he has changed since his days as a Decepticon, and if the Autobots are maybe not as different from the enemy faction as he previously thought. I'd say losing you has caused him to lose faith in his own species.
