Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. Poor movieverse Jazz and Prowl were never going to have a simple happy ending but I like to think Primus listened when Jazz called and gave them another chance at happiness. Thanks for taking the time to comment - it's much appreciated :)

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. As you say, the ending was rather bittersweet, but I like to think they'll get another chance to be the happy couple they always could have been. Thanks for reviewing!

Uneventful lives? I don't think those little sparks would know how! I'd like to think Primus knows what he's doing - giving the mechs who lost their lives to the war (one way or another) another chance to be all they truly could be. And with Jazz and Prowl, that would never be unexciting.

Thanks for all your reviews. I hope you enjoyed the story! I appreciate you taking the time and trouble to give me your reactions :)

I really loved this. Beautifully written, with a great balance between all the elements. The brief action sequence worked, and the description of Prowl's logic-conflict was fascinating -- alien but understandable. But Prowl and Jazz... so poignant.

And for an SF setting, there was a lovely faIry-tale quality to Jazz waiting to ask his question; the feeling that he was only going to get one chance, and he had to make it count. ( Huh... Now I'm thinking that you could do a retelling of Tam Lin with P&J.) Adored having Optimus echo Prowl's final line in the epilogue. (Surreptiously reaches for a tissue...)

The touches of humor worked well, too ("I can see dead people" and "I love it when a plan comes together" cracked me up).

Just a really good read overall. Any chance you'll put your stories up on AO3? (FF.net has seemed really wobbly lately, but I keep losing power here which probably isn't helping...)

Hello there,

Thank you! It's great to know you enjoyed this. I'm glad you liked the slowly unwinding wait for Jazz's answer. Jazz knew Prowl better than to ask him to abandon his duty - waiting until it was complete was his only real option. And he was probably the only one who would doubt its outcome!

I'm pleased that you enjoyed the moments of humour too. I like to ease the tension a little from time to time, and sometimes Jazz and Prowl came up with lines like that all of their own!

As for AO3... I'm really not sure. I registered not long ago and quite like the format, but posting in three places (ff.net, here and AO3) seems a bit like overkill. I shall consider it.

Thanks again for commenting!
