They were lucky they were found before all the scrap was beat out of them :D

I'm glad Hound knows Mirage helped him out. Now they're 'even' and Hound doesn't have to wonder if Mirage is interested in him out of gratitude (well, when they get to that point).

Haha, at the way the story is going, I'm starting to think Mirage will begin having romantic feelings for Hound before Hound does for him. Hound is better at endearing others to him than he knows.

Oh, I was so excited when I saw the notification for this pop up in my inbox. I think having Mirage fall for Hound first would be a great inversion of the more common, "Hound admires Mirage from afar" HxM plot. I'm really loving this!

[diamondunicorn]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing too. I can imagine Hound always finding Mirage attractive, but not seeing him as someone he could ask out for the longest time, and thus not really seeing him as a potential partner. So it's sort of there, but it takes him longer to see Mirage as something more than a friend.

Mirage on the other hand I think would be attracted to Hound emotionally and physically earlier in their friendship, but unable to voice it because Hound's so much to him other than just a potential lover, and he'd be afraid of sacrificing what they do have if everything goes wrong (which has happened far too often in my Mirage muse's history).

A wonderful combination of action, history and quiet scenes. The Cons taunting Mirage about Hound was interesting, knowing it'll be true eventually.

Thank you ^_^

This was seriously intense! You really got an awesome atmosphere going there when Hound got found out and the 'Cons were trying to goad Mirage. But yay! Autobots to the rescue XD

Whenever a situation's going horribly wrong, all we need is a bit of Ratchet added to the mix to make things better! <3 Another awesome chapter. Hound was adorable at the end x3

Thank you ^_^

This was a very enjoyable chapter with some nice character building. Mirage's opinion of himself and the other Autobots is still a little sad but I know Hound will work on that.
