10 songs meme part 4
okay, for those who don't know the rules of the ten songs meme, it goes (vaguely) like this:
pick a fandom/pairing/subject. put all the music on/in your music player on shuffle. fic for the first ten songs that come on. no song skipping, no going back and editing and no making a preset song set.
my music is ecclectic at best. ^_^
i was working on all ten pieces, but only managed six before the power went off for fucking ever the other night. (seriously, off at around 11:45, not back on 'til 7) turned off the music to conserve battery power, so there are only six.
i'm a bit nervous about posting, however, as my subject matter was my pet 'ship. (i've never, ever, seen it anywhere else except one of my rare_pairing fics from sometime ago and in one request on the kink meme, which could have been inspired by that.)
so, uh, yeah. five Wheeljack/Mirage prompts. they're spellchecked, but not otherwise edited. Don't Be Hatin'.
Ten songs meme
‘Verse: Transformers G1
Pairing: Wheeljack/Mirage
1. Queen, “I Want It All”
The engineer was bent over his workbench when mirage stepped into the lab. Wheeljack had been avoiding him for the last several days, and the spy was tired of it. One way or another, he was going to find out where he stood with the other mech and end the awkwardness between them.
“Wheeljack.”
The engineer jumped up as if he was shot. “Mirage!”
“You’ve been hiding from me. Why?”
Wheeljack looked down at the equipment strung across his workspace. “I can’t give you what you need.”
“How could you believe that?” Mirage wrapped his arms around the other mech. “All I want is everything you have to give.”
Mirage?” The scientist’s tone was obviously confused as he tried to turn and look at the noble. “What?”
“Just you,” Mirage assured him. “Even the accidents and the failed projects. I want all of you.”
2. Queen, “Princes of the Universe”
He knew the other surviving Towers nobles were watching him with disapproval as he drew his mate across the dance floor. His creators had certainly never encouraged him to associate with any of the lower class mechs, let alone consider one as mate, and the survivors who had known them had made their feelings on the subject-had they still been among the living-very well known.
Mirage had not cared for their opinions. Wheeljack was his mate-his wonderful, brilliant, caring mate-and he made him feel richer than any noble or king on any planet in the universe.
“They’re staring,” Wheeljack whispered.
Let them,” mirage replied.
3. Rob Thomas, “Girl Like That”
Once, he’d been alone.
There had never been anyone who had seemed to care about him, not beyond simple friendship anyway. There had been a few throw-away relationships and one night stands in his past, but nothing substantial and nothing that would ever matter.
And yet, he had thought that was all he was worth.
Then a beautiful mech had reached out to him. Nothing extravagant at first, just the offer of comfort and friendship, but it had grown. Even at his worst, mirage had cared for him.
He had thought what he’d had in eh past was better than nothing at all, but they didn’t even compare to the glorious, unconditional love he received from the beautiful noble.
4. Billy Idol, “Don’t You (Forget About Me)”
He had been amazed when he had reached out to the engineer and Wheeljack had actually allowed him to help. There had been something that called to mirage for …assistance-love, care and nurturing-and the spy had been unable to resist that call.
And Wheeljack had desperately needed it, it seemed.
The noble had been amazed by how lonely the friendly, personable mech really was. Why anyone would decide he wasn’t worth spending time with confused him-and made his spark ache sadly. Jack was easily the kindest, sweetest mech mirage had ever met.
Wheeljack had been hesitant at first, unsure of Mirage’s intentions-and the spy could hardly blame him. The towers nobles were not known for being openly supportive of each other, let alone anyone else. But he offered, repeating that the offer was sincere often, and finally, Wheeljack took the first step and accepted a listening audio.
5. Kelly Clarkson, “Because of You”
There had been a mech in his past who had broken him.
He could admit that to himself now that he had something--someone else to compare it to. It had been so long since he was brave enough to reach out to another mech for more than a one-night stand or a short term affair. There was never affection, never love. Emotions weren’t allowed to figure into the process, because if they did he would just be hurt again.
And yet, without even trying, he had found himself falling for Mirage-and, most miraculous of all-the noble falling for him in return.
It had been so long since he felt real love that he didn’t recognize it at first, but it was the most welcome thing he had ever felt.
