Welp it’s not a fanfic but I did make an edit

Guys hear me out.

Never Love an Anchor by The Crane Wives is literally OptiRatch.

Specifically Optimus singing about Ratchet because of how it’s about letting someone go.

“I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel, I am all the things they might have said to you” who always thinks he’s selfish and at fault for the war? Optimus the freakin’ Prime.

And if you imagine Cybertron’s surface as water, at the end of Predacon’s Rising Optimus was below it LIKE AN ANCHOR and Ratchet was above it LIKE A SHIP. AND Optimus was always the one to keep the team stable LIKE AN ANCHOR. And he only really had one purpose, that being ending the war and saving his planet. After everything was steady again he wouldn’t really be needed. And Ratchet still had things to do, he could still move forward. Anchor and a ship, anyone???

“On some level, I think I always understood that a ship could never really love an anchor. So, I did the only thing that I could, and severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbor” Ratchet getting over his grief and living again???

WILL PROBABLY WRITE A FIC ABOUT IT IDK.

Oooo look a shiny new artwork that’s actually a digital version of one I made a while ago oooooo

Okay great now that you’re here I’m gonna tell you about all the TRAUMA I gave this little guy. (Uhh TW for death and SH) First of all he’s schizophrenic (hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech) and has anxietyyyyy. Who’s he apologizing to in that drawing you ask? His boyfriend. Who was shot right in front of him. And died in his arms. ANYWAY! I felt a little silly so I gave him slave coding too! He’ll carry out the orders from anyone of a higher rank.

Also the war started when he was like 5 and the Decepticons aren’t the best to teach you how to deal with emotions so uh yeah he resorted to self harm. Not yay.

Anyway thanks for taking the time out of your day to read about my OC Chainlink.

Due to a unanimous vote I shall now research questionable things to draw robo-gore.

Do you think it would be a good idea to practice drawing robo-gore using messages from the Oregon Trail (the game)?

For example Orion/Optimus would have a broken leg and a fever, Bee would have a broken arm, Ratchet would have something resembling Typhoid Fever, ect.

I dunno I think it could be cool but I want more opinions.

Number 24?

This ask game

Ymir's panic attack after learning about the attack on the village. For more context: Part 13: What Optimus did to protect Ymir and Attack on the Village

TW panic attack. TW anxiety

Ymir had to go down to the village, and take her daughter with her.

It's not like she hasn't done it before. She's gone down there with her daughter plenty of times to get supplies on her own. Solveig insisted she bring her for proper social interaction. But this time felt different. Four days ago, Ymir saw a fire down in the village as she and Optimus were headed towards there. Ymir panicked, but Optimus brought her to reality and ordered her to run back up the mountain and to not look back. She bolted as fast as she could and found herself back at the cabin. She spotted Megatron watching Maria play with a pinecone, and Ymir used all the strength in her voice to yell out 'danger' before pointing down the mountain. Megatron didn't need to be told anything else as he bolted towards the path to the village.

Ymir brought her daughter inside for safe keeping and held a knife in her hand the whole time she was by herself. She had questions as she waited for Optimus and Megatron to return. Nothing could really harm them here. She was the closest thing that could, but...why was there a fire in the village? She could've sworn she saw men on horses, but she didn't get the chance to examine the danger in detail. And she could use her titan power to protect herself and Maria, but it would just draw attention, and it would destroy the home she lived in for over two years.

The door creaked open and Ymir tightened the grip on her knife and held her child close to her chest, but she dropped the knife when she saw Megatron's human form step inside. She was relieved and stood up while holding her daughter. She ran up to him, but she saw a shaken look on Megatron's face, and...there was no sign of Optimus. She looked at Megatron with a pleading expression, and Megatron seemed to notice that.

"The crisis has been taken care of," Megatron answered cryptically, "Optimus will return later. Don't come down to the village right now."

It didn't ease her worries. It only increased them, and she was running low on food. Optimus wasn't back, and Megatron said he was busy with helping the village. She had to go down there. She had grabbed her woven bag and was ready to pick up her daughter, but she started pushing at her.

"No!" Maria pouted. Ymir raised an eyebrow in confusion and she tried again, but the girl still pushed. "No!"

Ymir was still confused. What was she on about? The child walked over to the door and tried to reach the handle to open it. Ymir followed her daughter and opened the door to the green of the mountain. Maria took a few steps before crawling down the steps of the porch and standing on the grass.

Oh. Ymir realized what was happening as she walked onto the grass. Maria wanted to walk on her own. Ymir stood close by Maria as the toddler continued to walk. It was a slow walk. Maria could only get so far on tiny legs. When she saw her daughter becoming fatigued, she tried to pick her up, but the child refused. When they reached the pathway to get to the bottom of the mountain, Maria fell down on her bottom. Ymir had no choice but to pick her up. She whined in protest about being scooped up and held by Ymir, but Maria passed out rather quickly from exhaustion. Ymir smiled as she continued to make her way down.

As she reached the bottom of the pathway, she noticed that one of the houses in the village was being rebuilt. She could see the ground looking darker from the flames and realized that this was the house that burnt down a few days ago. Ymir quickened her pace and stood a safe distance away from the construction. She saw Megatron working with Beini and Garth to push up a support beam for the structure of the house. Darrbey, the carpenter, was talking to Solveig as he was carving out a new design. Ymir managed to catch a glimpse of the romantic, Tove, flirting with her boyfriend Garth from afar. Ymir could see his flustered face, but Beini shouted at him to focus while Megatron rolled his eyes.

"Oh, hey Ymir." Ymir looked behind her to see Magnar walking up towards her. Ymir pointed to the construction, hoping he would understand what she was trying to ask. She had left her notebook at home. She shouldn't have done that.

"Construction," Magnar answered, "A group of thugs attacked the village."

Ymir grew worried. Attacked the village?! Magnar noticed her worried expression and continued. "Orion and Matthew took care of it. The village is safe, but..."

But what? Answer her musician! Ymir pulled on his sleeve to prompt her to continue.

"I mean...," He seemed hesitant to continue, but he answered Ymir anyway. She appeared to be completely out of the loop, "Orion kind of lost it. He dragged one of them away and hasn't come back. The last thug brought up some 'Eldian Empire'-!"

Ymir heard nothing else of what he said after that. She only heard ringing in her ears as her woven bag fell off her shoulder. She suddenly found that she couldn't breathe. Her own mind was spiraling out of control. Her hands were trembling and instinct told her to hold Maria tight so she wouldn't drop her as she fell to her knees. The voices were muffled, someone was saying something louder but she couldn't hear it. They were back?! They had found her?! No! NO! NO! Oh god, please no! She can't go through that again! Please!

Megatron paused when he heard another one of those humans crying out for help. He turned his attention to the source and found the musician kneeling down and talking to...Megatron's eyes widened at the sight of Ymir on her knees, looking to be in a state of panic and despair, holding Maria so tight while struggling to breathe properly.

"Ymir!" Megatron abandoned the support beam, causing Beini and Garth to struggle and hold it up.

"Damn it, Matthew!" Beini shouted at him.

Megatron was tempted to go to the musician to choke him out, but Ymir was struggling to breathe. He got in between the musician and her and got on his knees as well. "What are you doing down here?! I told you to stay up in the mountains until it was safe!"

It was clear Ymir didn't clearly hear his response. She choked on her breath as it struggled to find proper momentum. It was clearly causing pain to her throat as she tried to reach for her neck and hold it to get it to stop.

"No, don't do that!" Megatron ordered as he pulled her hand away, but she still couldn't breathe right. Megatron noticed the other villagers approaching. Too many eyes. Too many people. He needed somewhere quiet. Megatron quickly grabbed Ymir and carried her and Maria in his arms before standing up.

"Deal with the repairs yourself!" Megatron shouted before he bolted towards the top of the mountain.

"Magnar, what the hell did you say?!" Darrbey demanded as Solveig walked towards the forgotten bag on the ground.

"I just told her what happened!" Magnar explained as Solveig picked the bag.

"She started panicking!"

"But-!"

"There's nothing we can do about it now," Solveig cut the conversation short as she folded the bag in her hands, "We continue repairs without Matthew!"

"But-!"

"Listen to Solveig and someone help us with this damn thing! Matthew's clearly been supporting his weight against this!" Beini and Garth were clearly struggling to keep the support beam upright.

Megatron continued running as far as he could towards the cabin. Despite getting there faster than any normal human would, it felt like it took an eternity. He finally reached the door and kicked it open before running inside and kicking the door close. He set Ymir on the wooden floor as she still continued to panic. Thankfully, Maria was still sleeping through all of it. The girl must've passed out earlier.

"Ymir, look at me!" Megatron grabbed her face and forced her to look at him, but the movement was too aggressive, and it caused Ymir to claw at his face and push her way out of his grip.

"No! NO!" Ymir screamed as she held Maria close to her chest. "Won't go! NO!"

Megatron didn't know what to do. The woman was in a state of panic and he didn't know how to comfort her! This was Optimus' job! And he wasn't here at all! What was he supposed to do?!

"O-Optimus," Ymir sobbed, tears streaming down her face as she trembled, "Where...are you? I'm...alone."

Megatron couldn't help but feel pity for her. He...he had grown attached to Ymir and Maria. He couldn't deny that now. And while Ymir grew used to his presence, it was clear that she only truly trusted Optimus. He hadn't been good to her. First few years, he was actually quite hostile towards her, and only cared for Optimus. Yet, she was the one putting in the work to understand him.

This human...she was too kind for her own good, and it was clear the empire took advantage of that. He had to make it up to her and show her that he could be depended on in times of crisis. Megatron slowly approached her this time and raised his hands to gently cover her ears. He placed his forehead against her own in order to ground her.

"Breathe," Megatron assisted, "Breathe, Ymir. I'm right here."

The hands against her head were cold, but they were comforting. It didn't pull or yank on her head. It just blocked out the sound. The lack of that sound allowed her eyes to focus on the figure in front of her. She felt something on her forehead and when she blinked, she could see the scars on the face there.

It was Megatron...and he was...comforting her? What...what was he doing here? Why was he doing this? Ymir felt Megatron release her head before sitting up straight.

"Are you okay?" Megatron asked her.

Ymir found that she was breathing properly and nodded.

"Good," Megatron said to her, "You're alright."

"...you're...here," Ymir was surprised.

"...I'm still here," Megatron said, "And I don't make this lightly, but I won't leave you. I know I haven't been good to you, but I promise, Ymir. I'm going to stay. If Optimus isn't here to protect you, then I will act in his stead to protect you and Maria."

"...You...promise?"

"This I vow." Megatron raised his hand and rested it on his chest, "With all my spark."

Ymir stared for a moment before, feeling an enormous weight released from her shoulders. He wasn't going to leave her alone. She was going to be safe. She could actually trust him. Ymir's body slumped against Megatron's shoulder in exhaustion, her energy now spent.

"...Sorry...didn't listen," Ymir apologized.

"I didn't give you the full context of what happened. I was protecting you from the truth because I didn't want you to have a severe reaction. That was my mistake. I know that now," Megatron explained.

"...Optimus?"

Megatron sighed. "I wish I could tell you where he went, but I don't know, and I don't know when he'll be back."

"My...bag-"

"The bag is unimportant. I'll get you a new one," Megatron cut her off.

"...okay," Ymir mumbled as she passed out.

Megatron had to tend to both Ymir and Maria for the rest of the day, and kept guard over their cabin at night. However, he still paced around the cabin in his bipedal mode. Where in the Allspark was Optimus? He could try calling him, but...

Megatron remembered that cold-hearted glare of fury. The thought of calling Optimus made him feel uneasy, since he had no idea what his mindset was but...maybe giving something to report to Ymir might lift her spirits, depending if Optimus was in the mood.

Megatron activated the comm. link and contacted Optimus. He was ready to speak, but he froze when he heard the sounds of terror and screams echoing in his comm. link. He could hear the familiar sound of blaster fire, and the crunch of something being stepped on!

Megatron quickly disconnected the line before he got enough extra information to picture the absolute slaughter that was happening right now. All of this...for a human girl. Was this really all it took to push him over the edge?

Never in his long life would he ever be grateful he never pushed Optimus that far.

(Megatron and Optimus switching roles in this one. It's great. So 6, 15, and 96 have been asked but the rest are free game.)

I was trying to get a feel for Chainlink’s personality and this got made so um enjoy

If you can’t see the words he’s saying “So confident in your ability to redeem monsters, Prime. You really think all that hate is going to go away with a little “I’m sorry,” “I’m trying to be better,” “it’s different now”? No, we remember what you did.”

Anyways I don’t really have much inspiration for non-OC things so you’ll just have to deal with this until I do! Unless you’re okay with incredibly stupid remakes of comics I made with my friend.
