[Fic] Beyond Silence - 01

[shibara_ffnet]

This is my first attempt at writing G1 stuff, even though I haven't actualy seen the series. Blame Ultharkitty for her incredibly awesome portraying of Vortex and Panthothenate's amazing Soundwave/Bluestreak fic, which triggered this evil plot bunny.

Content advice: Dark themes, violence, implied rape and robot gore. This story does not have scenes

:cocks head: THat's strange! Did you code in any fontcolor information? The whole story's showing up on my computer in white text on my white background.

[shibara_ffnet]

Gah, yes, because it appeared in black D=
I didn' know how o pu it in automatic color after being fumbling with it for an hour or so >___

[shibara_ffnet]

I jsut tried to fix it... did it work?

[white_aster]

Looks better! Now it's white on dark gray. ^_^d

[ultharkitty]

I'm only seeing it in white on white as well :(

But anyway, that's a very cool start. I feel sorry for Bluestreak, but I also feel sorry for Soundwave. I like the interactions between Soundwave and Frenzy, and that Soundwave did take advice and get some rest. And Bluestreak being afraid that silence will bring madness was really creepy. I'm very keen to see where this is headed.

Glad you are liking it so far 0w0
I like the idea of the cassettes being fond of their boss (in different flavors of fond... Ravage being nice to anyone makes a bit of noise in my head), though I'm not sure if that's not a bit ooc.
In that context I think that Soundwave listening to them (and acting on it) makes sense =3

[ultharkitty]

(BTW, it's still mainly white. If you don't specify a colour, it should be OK).

I don't think it's OOC - there are quite a few bits in the G1 cartoon where the cassettes and Soundwave show fondness for each other. :)

[shibara_ffnet]

That's ok then =)
I honestly tried watching the series now, but it's just... I dunno, too old for me u__u
It makes me a bit confused about what's canon and what's not sometimes =/

Oh this sounds like a lovely start. I love your cassette/Soundwave interactions.

[shibara_ffnet]

I'm glad you do ^^
The dynamics between them will be quite important for future characters, so I hope I don't fudge it >w<"

[shibara_ffnet]

Yup, I just now left my fic there: http://archiveofourown.org/users/Shibara

Finally starting to catch up on fics (a task that will never end), and want you to know I really am enjoying your style, and the interactions between the cassettes and the SW. Also really dig your characterization of Bluestreak. Not quite so sweet. Enjoying that he is so full of insults for the 'cons and that it is all a cover at this point. Probably will read the rest on AO3 now that I see the link :D

[shibara_ffnet]

Sorry for the late answer, but I come from the future and I'm telling you you WILL read it in AO3 xD

I'm happy to hear you like my version of Blue. To be honest, I don't see him being the innocent and cute guy most fics make him to be. Snipers are people who cover their comrades, but part of the job also involves putting holes in people from a safe distance... if that doesn't require a bit of cold blood, I don't know what does 0___0
