I went back and found my comment, and you know, you did surprise me as it seems I wrote there that Skyfire didn't know. Skyfire wasn't pleased, that is certain, but it seems more he wasn't pleased by Starscream's showing up and blowing it out of the water.
And I like your theory on processor damage from being in the ice. I don't think that possibility has ever been covered in any story I've run across with Skyfire, at all. It makes a whole hell of a lot of sense, when you think about it.
Very well done in handling Starscream. It makes sense he'd want to keep it a secret, and after Warp seeing what was done to him, I doubt he'll spread it around. Not sure Skyfire will be stopped from trying to get to Starscream, any more than I'm sure he'll get the help for his processor because Starscream made it clear he needed it. I'd say their interactions would be strained in the future, on the other hand.
Starscream's reaction and handling of the situation were very believable, too. He was patient right up to the time Skyfire tried to touch him. As angry as he was, he held it back until that point. He knew that anger wouldn't help in this case.
I've skimmed your TFA Swindle story. For both, allow me to say you have a lot of talent. I was much impressed.

I always figured being in ice that long would screw up something inside of Skyfire. TFs are living things, and that was some extreme conditions. Extreme conditions, and for a long, long time. Made sense to me. And it gave some reason and motivation to the fic- prisoner taking doesn't seem like something he'd do on his own.
And strained interactions between he and Starscream is quite likely. Most will probably chalk that up to history, and Starscream will act like it's nothing more. Since he's home more, Ratchet will hopefully notice the frost damage on his own. I would hope- he'll be depressed anyway, that'll need checking out. And yes, I figure Starscream can be smarter than he's given credit for- anger is a good weapon, but only when you know how to use it.
For everything you said there, thank you. I appreciate analytic comments, they are my butter. :)
