Sweet Primus on a stick, woman, this is... incredible. Whatever it is that goes on in your mind, I think I want some if this is the result. Skywarp's terror is just palpable through the whole thing and I don't know, even knowing that there's no way it would possibly turn out okay for him if he actually did manage to escape, because he's just too damaged to survive on his own at this point, I wanted him to get out and the fact that he knew he had limited time before Skyfire got back made his struggle that much more delicious. And I know that peacewish said about how Skywarp is really acting a bit stupidly, but you really can't blame him, because who would want to be stuck in a cave where some creeper is going to periodically turn up and grope you and force feed you and etc.?
And Skyfire. Oh, Skyfire, you are so, so creepy. His reasoning is sound, in a twisted kind of way, but trying to keep someone safe is not an excuse to take away all of their freedom. That's just not how you go about it. (Of course, being trapped in ice but still conscious probably did nothing for his sanity.)
Does Ratchet know that he borrowed that device, though? Because I feel like he'd question that, and there's no way that any Autobot except for Skyfire would be okay with what Skyfire is doing here.
And do the other Seekers know that Skywarp is still alive? Because this would be three times as horrifying if they think he died in the crash and they're not even looking for him. (Although with the location Skyfire chose, it's unlikely that they would find him even if they are looking for him.)

This is just as deliciously do not want as ASHWM, but in entirely different ways. I love it.

Skywarp's terror is just palpable... I wanted him to get out

Stuff like this is always wonderful to hear, it means I've doing a good job at making you empathize and feel. I always worry I've gone overboard or not gone far enough, so people like you help.

Most of what Skywarp did, besides attacking Skyfire, is stuff I would probably do in the same situation, so I can't fault him much either. He's all about now now now.

Skyfire is doing most of this quietly, and efficiently. His reason is... mostly sound, its just gotten muddled with some other things. Ratchet would never have given him the device for what he's using it for, or let it leave the med bay at all. Its just seldom used.

The other Cons think Skywarp has been captured or at least MIA, and they know at last siting he was damaged. Never fear, there's only three chapters and an epilogue, so resolution will come.

See? And that makes me glad that I decided to leave a long and indepth-ish review. Because making someone else feel good makes me happy. (Making an actual effort when giving reviews is one of my New Year's resolutions. I just started a bit early for you. xD)

Honestly, I have no idea what I would do in that situation. But Sjywarp's reactions, even f they aren't logical and well thought through on his part... they're realistic. I can see someone, yeah, trying to escape and then attacking out of desperation when their captor comes back a tiny bit too early.

I'm going to hold onto that promise of resolution with everything I have. I love Skywarp and I really, really want this to turn out okay for him.
