Hall of fame Fics that I highly reccomend, included are short reviews and comments, however tags are omitted so please use caution before reading.

> In Media Bellum - THE platonic x reader fic, amazing characterisation of the whole cast, Optimus in particular. Introspective and thought provoking, you will leave this fic with a new appreciation for stargazing. > Breaking Bread - SS_Shitstorm is personally one of my all time favourite TF authors and does not dissapoint in this fic. With all their wit, charm and chemistry knowledge this fic is a ride from start to end. Soundwave is a particular highlight of this fic, with more than one occasion provoking an audible aww. > Logical Proposals - An incredibly mature yet wholesome story about family and love. Some incredibly insightful writing on asexuality and parenthood along with all the usual shenanigans one might expect of media including the cassettes.

Ideal Optimus x Reader vibe where you ask him about the history of Cybertron's golden era.

His optics light up like you've never seen before and for a brief moment, he looks so, so much younger.

"Of course," And he says your name in that soft, generous rumble that makes your stomach do flips, "But I do wonder why you've taken such a keen interest."

"No particular reason. I just think it's cool." And it's the honest to god-or-primus-or-whatever truth, "It's kind of cool knowing things about something you'll never experience. Knowing I existed in the same universe as something so incredible."

And when you turn to look up at him, he's staring at you like he's truly seeing you for the first time. Then he smiles, in that thin and distant way you know he does when he's truly happy. The closest thing the prime can get to overjoyed after millennia of war and suffering.

"There's a lot to learn."

"I've got time, if you're willing to share."

And he does. He always does because talking about his old joys and the brilliant history of the world he once loved brings back nostalgia. You see a version of Prime many think dead and gone.

You see Orion Pax.
