Conceptions - 10.b
Title: Conceptions of the Self - Home - Mei's Fanfic Master List
FIC Summary: [2007, AU] Sore throats, nightmares, and the differences between organics and Cybertronians - something is terribly wrong with Sam. To live is to evolve, and shape alone is not enough; think of it as a mutual learning experience. (Bot!Sam, PTSD, Mech/mech)

I think you actually conveyed BB's angst in a wonderful way. I mean, it wasn't, "AGH LET ME SIT IN A CORNER AND SLICE MY FUEL LINES WITH A BROKEN RECORD AND CHANGE MY PAINT SCHEME TO BLACK, THE COLOR OF MY SOUL" like Prime's was, but I think that BB's was a little more touching. He is obviously suffering immensely. It kind of made me think of when close family members have died, and I just felt kind of numb, knowing I should be sad, but replaying everything I ahd ever done wrong with them, you know? I actually got BB's angst more than Prime's.
ANYWAY, long rant on angst aside, I adored this. It was so awesome to get a glimpse of BB's POV on stuff. I particularly loved his rant on how disgusting humans are, but Sam is okay. And his explanation of how he did some of those evil things to Sam because he was high. XD Also, that he was created by Decepticons.
I adored this. Wonderful job!

to be fair, the "O__o;" stage was mostly due to the head fins and perspective, lol)
BB's angst came easier than Prime's, that was for sure. Overall, it sounds like I got the response I wanted for his situation -- the fact that he is rather numb and feeling a little lost, but he's not letting that stop him from doing what he needs to do.
High!Bee certainly does explain all the chirping, crooning and other noises he made, doesn't it? 8D (And wouldn't make so much sense why Autobots partner with humans if it got them high, lol?)
Deception!Bee is rather popular, but usually he doesn't know he was one. I, on the other hand, though that his whole motivation in the war would be better explained as a giant "fighting inner demons on wide scale" thing for him. He is a nice guy, but he can be pretty ruthless, too.
RE Lubricating on Simmons: HE'S LIKE "WHAT? IT WASN'T BATTERY ACID."

Your comments always make me smile/lulz.
I wonder how BB is going to react when Sam is back (I'm making assumptions, but whatev, lulz). It could go a few different ways in my mind--he's just like, "oh, good, we freaking missed you! *hugs*" or "oh, you were gone? *denial denial denial*" or he could be totally "SAM. GONE. YOU COMPLETE ME. *clings*" Or, you know, various others.
I forgot to mention how much I loved Jazz in this part (do I really need to? lulz). He didn't say a lot, but what he did was succinct and powerful (the convo on nightmares? yeah, awesome).

I think the next thing people are going to be wanting to see once BotSam is in the picture IS the reunion. I think I'm going to make a lot of people sad/upset, haha ... um. (GO AHEAD, MAKE ASSUMPTIONS. IDC, it's fun to see where people think the story might be going! :D )
My original version of the reunion scene ... was the last option completely, lol. Which is probably why I took it out, because after all of Sam's drama, it was just out of place. I am a "YAY SUNSHINE AND BUBBLES AND HEA" person, and it's generally my first instinct, but ...
You know what? You just inadvertently pointed out that I took out the explanation of why it was Jazz who was there to GET chased. URGH. (It's nothing big, just that he had cabin fever, 'sall) But I'm glad you liked. I'm pretty insecure about how to portray the other bots ... Bee and Ratchet I have down, though, haha 8D

I'm totally a "YAY LET'S SKIP AND CLICK OUR HEELS ON A RAINBOW!" type of person too, which makes it hard for me to actually keep things angsty, even when it is appropriate to. So, I applaud your fortitude in keeping with the drama! *golf clap*
Oooh, I didn't mean to! *shamefaced* ._. I didn't even really notice the little "mistake" if you want to call it that. I think you do a great job with movie!Jazz, who is a completely different monster than G1!Jazz, and a lot harder to characterize for me. So. PROPS.
