Ani: Prowl and Optimus beckyh2112 September 25 2009, 01:26:43 UTC
Optimus should have died. He thinks that sometimes, when the Magnus hammer is heavy in his hands, when Megatron's smile gets so sharp, when every person speaking to him has a crisis that only he can fix.

Dying would have been easier than being Magnus.

He can't defrag a lot of the time. There's too many things that need to be done and too little time to do them all in. So he skimps, even though Ratchet tells him he's a fool for doing so.

He's Magnus. He has to keep going.

It gets harder, though, and Megatron's smile gets so sharp it cutsForever and a day ago, Sentinel would have hauled him off to defrag and slapped him down whenever he tried to skimp. But Sentinel hates him now, not as bad as he hates Decepticons or organics, but still plenty bad enough ( ... )

Thank you, thank you! It has this haunting air which I have looked for in every fic concerning Prowl's death since then, and also because it has someone different than Jazz, Bumblebee or Sari mourning.

I love how Prowl's death haunts Optimus, pressing as much on him as the strain of being Magnus. And, which is only my interpretation, it sent shivers through me as I thought, maybe you began the fic that Optimus wishes to be dead to show he wants to be together with Prowl.
