The info is there, it's whether anyone realises it or not ^_^

Poor Jazz ;_; That has to be the worst possible thing to happen.

Also rather makes me wonder just how much Skywarp's current trine trusts him. I mean, Starscream was a scientist and he was probably standing right there when Skywarp killed the trine bond; Star's not a complete idiot (even if he does have the equivalent of blonde moments...) and he's a known traitor. Either he stupidly trusts that Warp won't turn on him or he's not nearly as invested in the trine bond as it would appear.

Great, now there's a part of me saying that the screaming one has a back-up trine somewhere just in case Warp and TC turn on him. My mind is insane.

Anyway, I am so so loving this. More soon?

My own story is still bubbling away, but I got somewhat distracted by my 28 meme and inspired by a prompt in the TF2007fun Kink Meme O.o

[ante_luce]

Heh ^_^;; Decided to drop the seeker code thing for this 'verse. I've got so many seeker bunnies, I needed to distinguish this one a bit more in headspace. So, yeah, the main 'Con trine aren't really that close, nor do they put much stock in the trine bond.

Eep.

Working on it ^_^ This bunny is rabid, and all the other bunnies are being exceedingly polite and well mannered when it comes to letting it go first.

Would you like your bunny to get rabies too? *innocent*

[katsuko]

Oh Primus, no. The damned things are rabid enough; the one that bit me for the 28 meme again is going to steal away my sticky!fic-pornginity because my usual plug-n-play-bordering-on-sticky isn't gonna work this time O.O

Re: QotD - since I'm currently taking Latin, I can tell you that "ante" is a preposition meaning either "before" or "in front of." Lux means "light," with "lucem" being the accusative form (which pretty much means that it's also "light" but as more a direct object than as a subject). So "ante lucem" directly translates to "before the light;" "before the dawn" is a more romanticized translation.

Amusingly, "luce" means "by the light" or "from the light" or "with the light," so your username still rocks the Latin.

[ante_luce]

Right then. 0_0 You poor thing, good luck ^_^;;

As long as it doesn't mean something completely ridiculous, I'm content. I did dig through Google for the Latin, but while both 'Ante' and 'Lucem' (and 'Luce') were... legal, so to speak, I wasn't sure if they fit together in a sensible, non-wannabe 'playing with Fancy LanguageTM just to sound cool' way.

'Course, by the time I realised I'd lost that site where I found the phrase in the first place, I'd already committed to the handle. ^_^;;

Jazz and Prowl's back-and-forth with the scenario of "what if I was a traitor" is brilliant. And of COURSE it was Skywarp! That makes complete sense. The fragger. *sics the Twins on him*

[ante_luce]

Thanks, glad you like this ^_^

[anonymous]

YAY!! Two chapters and wow so much to read and take in. I was not suspecting jazz to be a seeker and that Skywarp turned him in. :) This story just keeps getting better and better.

[ante_luce]

Thank you :)

......
!!!!!
BRB going to dump Skywarp in "Pool of Drowned Duck", lock him into the form, and leave him in a Chinese Restaurant.
*wibbles at Jazz & hugs him*

[ante_luce]

... It's sad that my first thought is, drown a duck? Followed by, duh, of course you can. Ducks swim, but they still breathe air.

>_>

[bookworm_faith]

=P Its Ranmaverse, it doesnt need to make sense. But I believe alot of fandom went "huh?" the first time Mousse turned into a duck anyway
So THAT'S how you picked your username? Iiiinteresting!

[ante_luce]

Yeah, amazing where the internet will take you if you want to wander ^_^
