Title: Alive - Rolling Blackouts
Author: pl2363
Series: Transformers AU/G1
Rating: T+
Notes: Ratchet x Wheeljack. 'Regardless' & 'Forgive' are heavily referenced, please read those fics before reading this one. This is now in a totally AU setting. Ratchet and Wheeljack have been trying to get sparked, but start to lose hope with each failed attempt. Will their love be enough to sustain them?
Thanks to
mirage_shinkiro for the beta. Title taken from "Help, I'm Alive" by Metric:
"Hard to be soft,
Tough to be tender.
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train,
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer."
Also... Transformers belong to Hasbro, I am just playing with them.
