how would benrey transformer meet gordon?
Ok, I have to preface this by stating I am not a writer. So if any of this sounds dumb. That’s why.
Anyway, I'm gonna infodump to you about my tf au now. This is gonna be kinda like an outline for a fic if I ever would write a fic about it. Don't take it too seriously.
Benrey is a defected Decepticon living on Earth. He arrived on Earth with a couple other bots, but they found him annoying and ditched his ass pretty early on. Not that he really cared much, he prefers to be on his own anyway.
Benrey hangs around on Earth for a while. He finds human culture fascinating and decides to observe it from a distance.
Unfortunately for Benrey, Energon is pretty hard to come by on Earth. He soon realizes that being a Cybertronian living on his own on Earth is almost certainly a death sentence without a proper source of Energon.
So, he begins searching for a source. He knows he can’t really go back to the Decepticons, after defecting there's no way he’d expect any sympathy from them. Going to the Autobots is obviously out of the question. He’s desperate, but he’s not low enough to go crawling to the Autobots begging for help.
Through his searching Benrey eventually catches wind of a certain research facility located in New Mexico, USA. From what Benrey is able to gather, Black Mesa Research Facility has either located a rare on planet Energon source, or has developed technology similar enough to Cybertronian technology that they are able to synthesize their own Energon.
While this is wonderful news to Benrey, he also learns that Black Mesa may have captured several other Cybertronians that had been living on Earth similar to himself. He has no doubt that whatever Black Mesa is doing with these Cybertronians, it doesn’t seem pleasant. Unfortunately, this is Benrey’s only lead, he has no choice but to go through with it. Carefully.
Then like a dumbass, on his way to Black Mesa his Energon reserves run dangerously low. This forces him into a semi-comatose state in the middle of an abandoned desert freeway.
Enter, Gordon Freeman. Gordon is a 27 year old new hire at Black Mesa Research Facility in New Mexico, USA. He has just recently moved across the country, leaving behind his friends and family to grab this once in a lifetime chance to work at the mysterious research facility. He’s finally found a use for the stupid degree that he worked so hard on. By god, is he gonna use it.
Just a little while after getting settled into his new life, his trusty old "dad car" finally kicks the bucket. A begrudging and sad Gordon gathers up what little savings he has and heads to the nearest used car lot.
When he arrives Gordon is less than thrilled. He wasn’t looking for the fanciest car in the first place, god knows he can’t afford that, but so many of these poor old cars look beat to hell and back.
Eventually, Gordon does find something that catches his eye. It’s a big dark blue SUV. It’s absolutely caked in dust and has a couple good scratches and dents, but other than that it seems to be in alright condition. It drives and that’s all Gordon’s really looking for. Though, he does notice a strange looking purple logo on the steering wheel. He decides not to pay it much mind.
When Benrey wakes up he’s somewhere he’s never been before. Not that he’s been to very many places on Earth, but this place is completely unfamiliar. It's an uncomfortably tight space with gray walls and a cold concrete floor. He figures he’d been offline for at least a couple weeks, his Energon reserve’s weak attempt to keep him from burning through it completely.
He decides to stay put, not wanting to waste what little Energon he has left, and also because he’s genuinely curious about where he’s found himself. He assumes it could be some sort of human domicile?
After a few hours of waiting around, Benrey hears a door swing open and the overhead lights flick on. Standing in the doorway across from Benrey is a human.
This human has long frizzy auburn hair pulled up into a tight ponytail, a scruffy beard, cute little square glasses, and oh. Oh man. Are those freckles? Aw, he’s kinda cute. Haha- whuh, oh shit, he’s walking over here?
Gordon drives Benrey right into Black Mesa, unaware that his new car is a sentient alien trying to steal from the facility.
Benrey is thrilled that he’s made it into Black Mesa and he didn’t even have to do anything. But, his excitement is short-lived. Now comes the hardest part, actually getting to the Energon source inside.
After observing his human captor(?) enter the depths of the facility without problem Benrey devises a fool proof plan to get what he wants.
While on his way home from Black Mesa Gordon notices when his new car starts to act strange. Very strange. Abruptly, all control of the vehicle is ripped away from Gordon as it veers off the road on its own accord. Speeding through the sparse foliage and rough terrain of the New Mexico desert, Benrey takes Gordon far away from prying human eyes.
Once Benrey is certain there are no other humans around for miles he unlocks his doors and boots Gordon out of the driver seat onto the dusty desert ground.
Gordon stares up in terror, shock, and genuine confusion at the sight unfolding (literally) in front of him as Benrey transforms. Benrey looms over Gordon as he puts on his very best “scary Decepticon looking to get what he wants” face.
Benrey tries his hardest to get Gordon to fear him, to submit to his master plan of forcing the human to grab the Energon for him. For a bit it works, Benrey is HUGE compared to Gordon and could easily squash him like a bug. Not that Benrey would really wanna do that, that would be kinda icky.
Then, in classic Benrey fashion, he says something ridiculous that has Gordon going from cowering in fear to doubling over with disbelief and laughter.
'Benrey: C’mon man, i'm trying to be scary here. Stop laughin’ at me. You even got the credentials to be out here driving, man? Pretty shit at it. You got the papers? You got a, uh- a passport?
Gordon: I- I’m sorry it's just- Wait, passport? Do you mean like a- a driver’s license?
Benrey: huh?
Gordon: What the actual fuck are you talking about, man?'
The two of them eventually calm down enough that Gordon isn’t screaming in fear or babbling in disbelief. Benrey explains to Gordon his predicament and why he needs him to go through with his “expert plan” to get to the Energon.
Gordon, for one, isn’t buying it. Gordon argues that there’s no way he’s putting the dream job he just got on the line to help the weird terrifying evil car that kidnapped him.
Benrey looms over Gordon again, Benrey’s metal face coming closer to Gordon’s than ever before. He leers him down at him, which Gordon very much takes as some sort of threat.
Then, Benrey stands, stretches his metal joints, and turns around to start walking the other direction into the desert. He tells Gordon that’s fine, and to have good luck making his way home on his own.
Gordon sputters and yells out after Benrey, shouting for him to wait. He considers his options, as much as he really does not want to help Benrey, dying alone in the middle of the desert is not on his bucket list. Not to mention that even if he does somehow make his way home on his own there's no way he could afford to buy ANOTHER car after he just bought this one. So very cautiously and begrudgingly, Gordon agrees.
In the end the two form a sort of symbiosis. Gordon gets to risk his job to help Benrey get the Energon he needs to survive, and Benrey gets to have fun driving Gordon around on cute little trips to the grocery store and stuff. The two of them might get caught by Black Mesa for their crimes in the future, but it will be fine. They should be able to handle it.

writeblr intro 🐌✨️
hello! it is time for me to introduce myself, as i've made this account months ago—when everyone was losing their shit about twitter possibly ending. i'm aiming to have a good time and post more about my writing, hopefully consistently! feel free to leave asks in the faery bottle or send me a message if the bottle doesn't travel down the stream fast enough for you!
/) /)
ପ(˶•-•˶)ଓ ♡

about me
my name is rownan, i am an 18 yr old (she/her) black theistic satanist, considering persuing writing as a career and maybe going to college for religious studies & creative writing! i truly enjoy writing—but dont do enough of it. crocheting is something i do quite often, my favorite movies are coraline, crimson peak, and the labyrinth. i also adore horror movies/psychological thrillers.
in terms of writing, i haven't found a niche of style just yet—so i won't classify my wips much further than fiction. i can say, that i have been writing more than i used to and i've enjoyed writing from a young age. i used to—like a lot of people—write fanfiction (i still consider going back to my roots at times 💀) but i have found some solace in writing the stories that come to mind. let me introduce you to some of them! (below the cut, of course)
my wips
black forrest cake
black forrest cake is sort of a wish fulfillment project. it stems from a strange experience i've had at my job (i work at a bakery) and the experiences i continue to keep having. so instead of committing arson, i am committed to writing. in this story we are following the mc rosemarie (food names in the bakery book, i know) as she realizes the owners of the small family owned bakery 'good intentions' aren't all good.
project labyrinth
this is a story i started early in the year and honestly haven't touched much. it is, as you can tell, based on the labyrinth—however there is very much so my own spin on things! it is one of my favorite movies, but i wanted a story with a villain as tall and alluring as gwendolyn christie, and as terrifying as the fae really are. this story is an amalgamation of sorts. i've somewhat woven in 'the chilling adventures of sabrina,' 'the labyrinth,' and creepy fae stories. we follow rumi blackwell, a generational witch who lives with her grandmother as children and oddly enough—adults begin to disappear. when her grandmother goes missing, rumi finds secrets buried in the garden, and hears strange whistling in the woods.
project tsa (the storm of aphrodite)
the storm of aphrodite is meant to be a story about the reincarnation of a goddess. our mc is venus (on the nose, i know. hush), whose best friend is ambrose (she calls him loki for his strange tongue and beautiful green eyes). ambrose tells her that 'the old gods are coming back', whatever that means. there are all sorts of magical things happening in new orleans.
project bloodstone
this one isn't quite as developed—but it is heavily inspired by castlevania and hozier 💀
secret project that i can't tell anyone much of anything about
all i can say is that it is based on the swan maiden mythos, and i am having a ball writing it! it will be revealed in time ♡
that is honestly all so far! i will eventually be giving my projects individual pages and playlists and posting more. we will have snippets and aesthetics. wordy as this was, i believe i have covered all the bases 💃🏾 see you later ₍ ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ₎♡
