femme4jackRating: R Continuity:Bayverse 2011 AU based on Patronus (coauthored with Merfilly)
Pairing: Ratchet/Ironhide
Content Notes: Explicit Intimacy (Spark, Tactile, PnP), very brief references to immature forms of robotic life and spark creation through budding
Series Summary: How does an ancient, robotic being decide what and how to remember what is important? How does a fratricidal, seemingly never-ending war affect what memories are kept readily accessible? What happens when the memories one needs the most in order to survive and save others are not the same as the ones which make life worth living?
Notes: Prequel (and maybe sequel) to Patronus, written for
mmouse15 for her winning bid on FandomAid's Help Somalia auction on livejournal (thank you!). So many thanks
merfilly for coauthoring the original series with me, and for giving me the encouragement to continue, including much help with plotting. It won't be the same going solo.
The prologue takes place at the "fade to black" point in
ch. 10 of Patronus. Most of the remainder of the story will take place in the past.
