The Secret of the Primacy: Emotional Exploration
With his secret out in the open, Optimus is left to flounder with the way the team are treating him. He's not used to it in any capacity, but he can't help but want to explore now that he isn't being suffocated by lies.
@wildlygay as per your request, here is more of this Au :)
Previous part here.
━━━━━━ ⊙ ❖ ⊙ ━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⊙ ❖ ⊙
With his secret out in the open, Optimus was ready to bolt at any moment. He had been warned countless times by the priests and by Alpha Trion that if anyone discovered what he was, he was doomed. He knew the various methods of gruesome execution common amidst Autobots and Decepticons for severe crimes. He had no desire to die deep beneath that duty that blanketed his every thought and action.
He fully expected to be treated poorly, abused perhaps, tortured if the team were angry enough despite the care Ratchet showed him. He was mentally preparing himself to be beaten half to death when he finally woke from his breakdown induced recharge cycle and met the optics of the team one by one. However against all the odds he predicted, the team did not even frown at him with malicious or angry emotional wavelengths in their fields. If anything, they were sorrowful. He didn't understand, but he quickly came to be confused above all else when the team adjusted the way they treated him.
Over the course of the next few weeks, he was treated gently, so much so that he started to both fear, love, and despise it. Ratchet's care was the most blatant and welcome for Optimus. The medic took every opportunity to shower Optimus with affection in his own gruff way. Optimus could be doing anything and suddenly Ratchet would be by his side, gently touching his arm and praising him for whatever he was trying to accomplish. Other times he could be quietly working on Iacon database files and Ratchet would slide over an energon cube, usually with a treat as well. Optimus had never been one for sweets usually, but they came from Ratchet and his foster Sire seemed to know how to make them in such a manner that they were only so sweet as to be enjoyable.
Ratchet stopped yelling as much too. When normally he would grumble and make a fuss, he quieted and kept his complaints to himself. It worried Optimus a great deal at first, that was until Ratchet made it clear that he refused to act like a sparkling when Optimus was in need of care. That part agitated the Prime to a degree considering all he'd gone through, but he couldn't deny that it was nice being able to try his best and actually be praised for his efforts instead of being regarded with grim appreciation.
Ratchet also took to establishing and actual routine for Optimus to follow, one that he both enjoyed and hated. The medic no longer tolerated his self destructive habits and instead made it law that he was to recharge for at least a groon per cycle. Cybertronians don't need to recharge often, in fact it is only required once a human month or so. Only sparklings required frequent recharge, and so the fact that Ratchet made a point to drag Optimus to his berth every night for recharge was both a welcome relief and a prod at his pride. He was mostly grown. Not even Bumblebee was subjected to such frequent recharge standards. Even still, Optimus obeyed his foster Sire. He quietly adored how Ratchet would guide him to his quarters, and without commenting then proceed to tuck him in, ensuring Optimus got at least one hug before he was left to rest.
Sometimes on bad days when Optimus fell back in on himself, trying to maintain the persona he crafted prior to the reveal, Ratchet would stay with him as he recharged. It was a comfort to know that his foster Sire was beside him, reading a datapad or filing a report of some sort even if a small part of Optimus was bitter over being handled in such a manner.
Compared to Ratchet's sudden shift in behavior, Bumblebee and Bulkhead were comparatively rather unchanged. The biggest differences in how they acted were merely in regards to how much work they left to Optimus. Where before Optimus would gladly take on mountains of work so that Bumblebee would have the chance to play and so that Bulkhead could spend time with Miko, his efforts were no longer allowed to fly. Bulkhead and Bee took their patrols far more seriously and went on them more frequently. Their reports came in on time and were detailed, with no need for Optimus to fill in blank spots or otherwise adjust their work. Not to mention the duo suddenly cared a great deal about actually fulfilling their chores at base. Before they would try and brush them off when possible, but seemingly overnight, both could be found doing any and all chores that normally fell to Ratchet and Optimus.
The Prime was thankful for the newfound dutifulness of his sparkling and brother in arms, but there were more than a few accidents due to Bulkhead attempting to mop and Bee trying and largely failing to dust with grace. In the end both were kindly asked to stop and focus their efforts more on the mission, to which there were quite a few sighs of relief. Despite that, both were quick to take up other work that Optimus normally handled. Bulkhead swiftly became Optimus's greatest obstacle when it came to his usual habit of working late at night. If Optimus tried to sneak out of his room after his appointed recharge time, Bulkhead would lay a servo on his shoulder, give him a look, and guide him back to his berth. It was bothersome and made Optimus feel small, but in the end the extra recharge time made him happier and more productive overall so he didn't fight the effort.
Bumblebee for his part simply became more affectionate. He regarded Optimus as his Sire without care for the truth of the matter. However, as he was now well aware of the delicate state of his Sire's mind, he went out of his way to show his appreciation when he could. Optimus was never particularly touchy in his raising of Bee, but he had a few habits that he kept, such as checking in on Bee when he did lay down to recharge roughly once a week. Bumblebee took that normal habit and used it to convince Optimus to rest alongside him. He would hug the Prime and ask for a song as if he were younger than he really were. And Optimus, wanting to feel needed and appreciated, never ceased to offer whatever affection Bee wanted. If Bee came to him asking for a hug, Optimus would give it. His sparkling almost never asked for such things, so the Prime gave them with glee. He very nearly cried whenever Bee would thank him of tell him he loved him. Deep down he was acutely aware of the fact that Bee was likely trying to tend to him like the rest of the team, but the desire to be needed overrode most of the dark concerns that lingered.
Compared to Ratchet's almost complete 180 regarding how he treated Optimus and Bee and Bulkhead's relative static nature, Arcee sat somewhere in the middle. She did not coddle Optimus like Ratchet did. She would still utter her grievances and treat Optimus as a proper warrior, offering him respect as her commander and trusting him to take care of himself in battle. But unlike Bumblebee and Bulkhead, she was more willing to show her normally hidden maternal nature. Ratchet couldn't be on watch all the time, and so when he was otherwise occupied, Arcee stepped up to the plate and took to getting Optimus into healthier habits. Her main mission was to get Optimus to deal with some of his mental issues. Ratchet tended to his health with far more dutifulness than Arcee could ever hope to replicate. And while she was no paragon of mental stability, she knew a few ways to get a mech to at least begin dealing with their issues.
She made it a point to try and get Optimus to do something aside from work or tend to others during his waking hours. Her efforts largely amounted to getting Optimus to assist her in certain recreational activities under the guise of needing assistance. It was not hard to get the Prime to sit down with her and try to sketch out things she required aid 'identifying'. It quickly became clear to her that Optimus actually enjoyed drawing after she attempted other activities with him. Thus she quietly spoke to Ratchet, and from there, Optimus developed a new habit that he kept from everyone.
He had no clue that Arcee's requests for him to help were underhanded. He simply enjoyed being needed and was pleased to sit down and assist her in drawing things she needed help figuring out. But from those drawings, he found a bit of a passion for the activity. Too many vorns of being denied any and all ability to act his age ensured he told no one of his interest, especially as he tried to improve and observed far more skilled artworks done by humans and Cybertronians alike. Often his inner voice demanded he quit his newfound recreational activity, but once he started, he was unable to stop.
Optimus told no one when he started taking sheets of scrap metal and engraving tools and hiding them away in his room. He told no one when after Ratchet tucked him in for the night, he proceeded to use said materials and carefully engrave things that he saw and envisioned. Over the course of weeks, his room was quickly filled with sheets of metal engraved with various depictions of things he enjoyed. These works he hid under his berth when he was finished with them due to his insecurity, but late at night he would look over them with a degree of joy. He loved engraving, especially engraving stories depicting his life, or rather Orion Pax's life. He loved drawing Orion, Ratchet, his team, the human children, and all others he knew well. It was his secret pleasure. He was a Prime, and thus he was not afforded the luxury of enjoying recreational things. As such he kept it close to his spark, telling no one up until one late night-
-When Ratchet walked in on him engraving.
His first response was sheer panic. He froze up like a deer in the headlights, his engraving tool dropping to the ground as he sat still as stone amidst his sea of artworks. Ratchet stood still for a long moment too, both of them locked in an odd dance of will until Ratchet took a step forward. Optimus in turn all but began to throw his engravings back into their hiding place up until Ratchet grabbed his arm to stop him. The Prime froze up again, expecting a reprimand or hit to come from his actions. Instead, Ratchet sat down beside him slowly and very tenderly began to look over Optimus's various works.
The Prime was two kliks from passing out in sheer terror when Ratchet oh so softly ran his digits along an engraving Optimus did of Orion working in the archives. Along the bottom he carved his Sire's name and a tender line. Ratchet looked to be near ready to cry as he read, and at that, Optimus feared the worst. And yet against all his fears, Ratchet did something he did not expect.
Ratchet: These are gorgeous Optimus.
Optimus: They are merely scribbles. I could be performing more vital tasks instead of dabbling in this craft-
Ratchet: No, you honor him with your work... He would be proud.
Optimus: ...
Ratchet: You were not intended, but I knew my friend Optimus. He would have been proud to know you are his creation.
Optimus: That cannot be true. I killed him. My creation led to his death.
Ratchet: He died so that you might live. He did not know that you were made from him, but I imagine that if he were here, he would be happy to know that his descendant is continuing the work he left behind.
Optimus: Leading a war? No, I do not believe he would take joy in knowing what I have done.
Ratchet: Perhaps. But he would know that you have done all you can. He was kind, I do not believe he would begrudge you for your choices. If anything, he would be pleased to see you fighting so hard despite all the obstacles in your way.
Optimus: ... It is just an engraving. It means nothing.
Ratchet: It means you are trying, that you are growing. By doing that, you bring honor to Orion's name.
Optimus: I...
Ratchet: These are wonderful Optimus. Do not doubt that, not ever. Continue this, I can see it brings you joy.
To say those words meant much to Optimus would be an understatement. He was still distraught, but after Ratchet saw and praised his work, he slowly began leaving engravings for the team and the children as gifts. He didn't know how to fully express his thanks, and so he offered that which brought him joy.

PART 2 OF THE ENDKISSED AU!!!
Since y'all wanted more :D
Soooo here ya go! Also there was like one person who wanted to be tagged??? @cool-person-yey
Martin delivers Jon his groceries whenever he calls, whatever he needs, rain or shine. He seems to have made it his personal goal to get to know the stranger on the cliff side lighthouse home.
And he does, little by little, that wariness in Jon's eyes disappears when he sees Martin at his door, and then he smiles, and Martin thinks its like the sun, warm and soft and bright. Eventually, he starts wearing his hair down as well, and Martin's daydreams seamlessly add in brushing its salt and pepper length with his fingers or a comb. Martin learns that Jon is an aspiring writer, that he likes his tea different every time and because he has no real expertise in making it, Jon has drunk some truly bizarre concoctions. Jon invites him inside and sits with him on the sofa, and at some point while the man talks animatedly about something or other while dressed in an oversized sweater (Martin wishes it was his own) and a long lace trimmed skirt, he comes to the conclusion he's falling for Jon. There's just one problem. Jon is clearly running from something. Martin never pushes, but Jon gets ... Uncomfortable any time his past gets brought up.
And then, on a day of Jon's usual grocery delivery, the call Martin expects to get doesn't come at its normal time. Thinking perhaps Jon just got sidetracked with his writing, Martin loads up his truck with all of Jon's usual sundries, plus a few new teas and snacks he had specially ordered for Jon to try out, free of charge. When he drives up the rocky road, he sees a sleek grey sedan parked outside Jon's house, and a man, and Jon, having what appears to be a heated argument in the doorway. Alarm bells go off in Martin's head when the stranger, an older man in a style of clothes that reeks of money, grabs Jon's forearm to pull him close and say something to him. Martin slams the door shut as he makes himself known, and Jon's eyes flick up at the sound. He looks scared.
"Hey Jon, is everything alright?" Martin asks, striding up with a big smile on his face. He's well aware of his size compared to the stranger, and knows that if anything happens, he'll come out on top. Hauling and stacking boxes of goods has lent him muscle as well as fat.
The man speaks for Jon though, affecting a very insincere smile of his own. "Everything is just fine. I was just catching up with my wife, whom I have not seen in quite some time."
Everything about the man screams red flags to Martin, and he opens his mouth, but Jon beats him to it. "Ex-wife," he replies archly, and pulls his wrist from the man's grip. "Everything's fine, Martin. He was just leaving."
Jon's ex-husband's eyes are cold. "I'm so happy you've found a cozy little town to hide away in, Jon. This place is just like you. I will have to call again soon." And then, he leaves.
Martin brings up Jon's groceries, and when he's finished, he opens his mouth to ask. But Jon just sinks into a chair and shakes his head. "Please, Martin... Don't?" Martin takes Jon's hands and holds them in his, and they just sit there, for the longest time.
Then Jon gets up, and kisses Martin, who holds him and kisses back Jon lets out a sound and pulls away, anguished tears in his eyes. "I thought I could do this. I can't. Martin, please leave. I'm sorry."
Martin doesn't get another call for four weeks.
To be continueeeeeed??????~

Hii. I remember being a fan of gloomverse back in 2015 and now looking back I hadn't even realized untill recently SmackJeeves had been wiped. Are there any archives of it up to the current state where you stopped updating? Couldn't one very clearly through the tags.
I have it all on webtoon! Yeah the SmackJeeves thing was a nightmare, some new company bought it and ran it into the ground. ):

You watch him hem and haw over answering, feet shifting, same beat up black shoes, scuffing the gravel, cape swishing behind him in a one-two step. The halo of his hair, bleached eery white in the street lamp, how the light never seems to catch the rim of his shades. You missed this, you think. The bits of him that are so unsettlingly inhuman, how he's so close to you, but just far enough that you couldn't reach to touch. - Metempsychosis

Cockwarming buggy during a meeting
Imagine Buggy's cock sitting inside you while you're in the middle of a meeting. You can hardly even think as he talks to Crocodile and Mihawk, being the strategist of the group it's most imperative that you're able to focus. With the soft rocking inside you, the appendage separated from the rest of him, it's almost a wonder how you're not drooling over the table, a sharp thrust reminds you where you are and that you're being asked a question.
Without hesitation you snap at Crocodile, being one of the few people in the world to do so without facing his wrath. He gives you a moment to think while you can't decide who you're mad at more. Croc for bringing you back in the conversation or buggy for edging you once more in the middle of speaking, the loss of an orgasm more distracting than anything else the clown has done so far.
He looks so smug sitting next to you, Mihawk is sure it's because Buggy was the one who got you to join this group and under your careful guidance the odd group has managed to accomplish goals they wouldn't have thought before possible. Not the fact that you would be dripping his cum when you stand up yet have been left completely unsatisfied.
You'll let him have this for now but when the two of you are alone he will have hell to pay for all his little stunts he's managed to pull off today.
