Awww, poor uninterrogated Vortex! I was very amused by that complaint. And goading Skyfire about Starscream is always good times.

[ultharkitty]

Hehe, yay! :D

One day, I'll write fic where he gets interrogated :P

*PURRS AT LOUDLY*

WOW. *giggles delightedly* *and volunteers for brig duty* I so want to play with Vortex, now.

He's just deliciously, subtly creepy with Bumblebee, which is a little . . . off-kiltering, somehow, because I have read some truly delicious consensual-kinky Vortex/Bee and that's informed my understanding of the pairing. It's a weird feeling.

With Skyfire, though, he shines---and I'm hanging on every word once he gets to talking about Starscream. The "I hear your name when I'd rather hear mine if you know what I mean" is just priceless.

*wanting moar* (and also wanting to challenge Vortex to get Skyfire---or someone---off, phone-sex-style, from behind the bars) (speaking of which, I love the "I wonder what energon bars taste like" moment. Explosions, Vortex. They taste like exposions. But do they ALL taste like that? :D)

[ultharkitty]

There's consensual kinky Vortex/Bee somewhere? *is highly intrigued* *makes cute kitten eyes in hope of a link* (The only fic with this pairing in that I know about is 'Alone in the Ark', which I wrote waaaaaaay after I wrote this :P)

SQUEEEEEE, thankyou :D I have a great fondness for creepy, intelligent Vortex, despite that he frequently doesn't engage his processor, and a lot of the time he's a malicious aft ;)

They taste like exposions. But do they ALL taste like that? He must find out, WITH SCIENCE!

[kyra_neko_rei]

*melts at kitten eyes* Link will be given once I successfully hunt it down.

[ultharkitty]

Awesome, thanks :D

[ultharkitty]

Thankyou! I'm really glad you like what I'm doing with V. He's such a fun/satisfying/problematic/engaging character to write. :D

Re. Bumblebee, yay! I'm glad he comes off as irritating :D

(Mmmm, Skyfire...)

[mjfastlane]

Oh, Vortex. No interrogation, and he doesn't even get to mess too much with Bumblebee. His life must suck. But at least there's Skyfire.

Rereading this comment, it suddenly sounds to me like some weird TV advert 0.0

[ultharkitty]

In true Decepticon style, I'm sure he'd happily whinge about how crap his life is right now. But he's having far more fun than he deserves to (which is none at all).

lol :D

Thanks for reading!

[spacehussy]

Oh gosh *_* More, so soon? ♥

I really like Vortex here. He's so casually vile, completely aware of how much of an impact he can have, pushing and pushing just for fun. I love that he's disappointed at the lack of torture and interrogation and prison rape. I also loved how he used Starscream as a way to get under Skyfire's skin, so to speak. guh.

gahh I wish I could be more articulate but I'm tired XD

[ultharkitty]

*squees at feedback* Thankyou! :D I'm really glad you like him in this, he's so much fun to write!

And yep, updating twice a week right now. I've never done a multichapter like this before, so it's all a bit of an experiment really!
