A piece I commissioned from @/takes_few on Twitter of Hook and Swindle (from Fall of Cybertron). They were an entirely unexpected brain rot for me, but while writing Hook alongside @weaimtomaim's Swindle, I became obsessed with this FOC specific dynamic.
Swindle deserves comfort, and Hook being the one to give the comfort is a part of their dynamic that keeps them rotating in my head.
#Constructicons#Combaticons#Hook#Swindle#FOC Swindle#Transformers#maccadam#SwinHook#They bullied poor Ons/Scrapper to the side of the curb and these two rotate around my brain too much#Which is ???? because I usually never ship my favorites but I have two (three) for Hook and it's just... fun?#I love exploring how he bounces off his different partners and how they each affect him differently.#And he doesn't have enough hands for me too /j#Tf#Unfortunately FOC never gave us their designs for the Structies but they DID mention them#Thank you Brawl lol

imagine if you will:
Swindle from the Combaticons. A liar and a cheat, sure, but generally only if you're on his bad side. He's affable and smiles easy. He's confident and bold, playful and teasing. If you're someone close to him, he's reliable and trustworthy. He's absolutely loyal to his team; they've been through hell together and there's little he wouldn't do for them. There aren't many outside of the team that he trusts these days.
And then we have Hook of the Constructicons. A perfectionist at heart, with an ego to go with it. He's passionate about his work in both medical and engineering pursuits. He's terrible at socializing. He wears an almost perpetual frown and bemoans the fact that he's left to deal with tending to incompetent (and often ungrateful) patients. But he does care, deep down. He's a medic, how could he not? Usually only his team sees his caring side, and even that can be rare.
Do you see the vision? How Hook can learn to open up more and to let go of the need to be in absolute control of everything? How Swindle can find there are people outside the team that see past his name and reputation, and are worthy of his trust? How they can help each other grow and heal???

okay, I am interested in your take on SwinHook, so will send a few for them :)
Who felt romantic feelings first?
Who takes the lead in social situations? How are they around each other's friends?
How often do they cuddle or engage in PDA? & Who initiates kisses? Where is their favorite spot to kiss each other?
And for Breakdive!
Did either of them try to resist their feelings?
Who initiated the relationship, and how did they go about it?
Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like?
Which one thinks they aren't good enough for the other, if at all?
Who is better at comforting the other? How do they usually comfort each other?
&
Do they prefer verbal or physical affection?
Who felt romantic feelings first?
Hook, but he refuses to admit that. I don't have an idea of how they realized their feelings or how they got together, but I definitely think it was Hook.
Who takes the lead in social situations? How are they around each other's friends?
Swindle definitely takes the lead socially. He's very easygoing when he wants to be, and that's often the front he takes when socializing. In my mind, Hook's not a fan of socializing, so he's absolutely fine with Swindle doing all the talking, so long as he's not saying anything that could affect them.
Around each other's friends, they're different. Hook doesn't really trust or like the Combaticons, and Swindle, while he finds some of the Constructicons to be easy to talk to, he feels like he's going to be someone's next art project if he says one wrong thing. Swindle is definitely more anxious with Hook's family than Hook is with Swindle's, though Hook is kind of awkward around them. Will he admit that? No.
How often do they cuddle or engage in PDA? & Who initiates kisses? Where is their favourite spot to kiss each other?
I don't think they'd display their affection publicly much, outside of maybe Swindle shoving himself into Hook while they walk somewhere together so people don't bother them. They are very affectionate if they're alone, though. Hook pretends to be annoyed with Swindle wanting to cuddle up with him so often, but he likes it, and finds it very relaxing.
Additionally, Swindle likes to kiss Hook's hands. Because surgeon.
Breakdive under the cut 😋
--
Did either of them try to resist their feelings?
Both of em. So much. They both can't see it ending well and thus suppress it as much as they can, which as it turns out, is not a lot. Or successful.
Who initiated the relationship, and how did they go about it?
Neither of them initiated it, honestly, but maybe Skydive? Skydive goes "dude I think I wanna be more than friends" and Breakdown goes "like best friends??" And Skydive goes "yeah but can we also hold hands". And then they do.
After that exchange, the other Stunticons and Aerialbots make comments about them being all romantic and they both deny it, but then ask each other if they are. They both respond with "maybe???" And discuss everything supporting or opposing the idea and weigh the options. They leave even more confused.
Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like?
The other Stunticons and Aerialbots set them up on one thinking they were both just in denial of a relationship rather than just still figuring it out. They both thought the other set it up because they're so used to feeling schemes and mischief in the bond, they barely notice it anymore.
It wasn't anything fancy, and was probably just them getting shoved into a spot that was decorated all pretty with some food Breakdown refused to eat. Then they find out who actually set it up and they brawl (playfully and out of embarrassment).
Which one thinks they aren't good enough for the other, if at all?
They both do, in different ways. Skydive is self-conscious, and sees himself as being below others in many aspects. Even with Breakdown being a Decepticon, he's obviously better than Skydive, because everyone is, right? Breakdown, on the other hand, doesn't believe anyone would actually like him, and it must be deceitful. He doesn't think he's not good enough, but wonders if anyone even sees him that way.
Who is better at comforting the other? How do they usually comfort each other?
I think they'd be near equal with comforting each other. I think they're both very awkward with socializing, cues, and the like, finding it difficult to comfort one another with words aside from repeated "it's okay"s. Breakdown can easily distract people, and I think that's a major way he'd comfort Skydive if he was upset. Not making a show of himself, of course, but letting Skydive talk to him about an interest of his uninterrupted, or Breakdown painting things on him (that unfortunately have to be washed off immediately so there's no evidence of them ever having looked at the other).
Skydive I think would comfort Breakdown in a bit of a similar way, letting Breakdown talk or do something on his own to keep himself occupied, but being near Skydive just to know he's there. I think Skydive's engine would be very calming to Breakdown, but if he needs comfort, he would not want to be held by anyone, with the exception of his brothers.
Do they prefer verbal or physical affection?
I think verbal. They both need reassurance and can't really read people too well without words, and they both see it as more reliable than physical affection, but they do like being physically affectionate if they can. Neither of em get enough hugs bro.

Another FOC SwinHook piece I commissioned from @/takes_few on Twitter. My friend @weaimtomaim and I love the idea of Swindle getting the chance to nerd out about the vast depth of knowledge he has, and Hook simply loves listening to him do so.

SwinHook time finally! Pre-Relationship: What was their first impression of each other? , What would their lives be like if they had never met? General: Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like? , What is their height difference? Age difference? Do either matter to them? , What is their relationship with each other's families like?
Love: How often do they cuddle or engage in PDA? , What are their favorite things to do together? , Who is more protective? Who would get into a fight to defend the other? Who tends to the other's wounds?
I love them T.T
What was their first impression of each other?
Hook was leery of Swindle at first. He heard of his reputation and was a bit suspicious of him, but Swindle proved otherwise over time.
Swindle saw Hook's skill and intelligence and respected it, but it wasn't like they were really friends right off the bat. If anything Swindle was more friends with the other Constructicons first, because Hook is. Well. Hook. lol
What would their lives be like if they had never met?
I imagine all things considered, Hook would still be just... Hook. He'd be aloof. Distant. Grumpy. And he'd be closed off as he is before Swindle gets under his plating and convinces him to finally broach his trauma and work through it. If Swindle and his team hadn't met Hook and his team, though? I feel there'd be a lot more time needed to understand being combiners. They also would have no friends within the Decepticon ranks and be even more aloof than they already are...
Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like?
Yes! Swindle asked Hook if he'd like to try a date, gave Hook some options (a cafe, a botanical garden, museum, etc). Hook picked the garden because it would have the least amount of "need to be social" of all of them and he wasn't much in the mood for any museums (especially as the botanical garden was made for beings his size and he didn't have to use a holoform like he may have at a museum). It went well, all things considered. Hook enjoyed Swindle's company (after spending the whole day leading up to the date panicking that Swindle was just messing with him to laugh at him) and Swindle definitely had a good time doing something relaxing for the first time in ages.
What is their height difference? Age difference? Do either matter to them?
Hook is fifty feet tall, Swindle about 38 feet tall. So not huge, but also notable when Hook stands right next to Swindle (or behind him to glower at someone he hates). Swindle is four million years old to Hook's nine million, with two million of those four million years of Swindle's life being trapped in the Detention Center.
Neither matters to them. They're both fully adults with enough experiences to be mature and fairly worldly. And height doesn't matter as long as Hook can hold and kiss Swindle.
What is their relationship with each other's families like?
They're friends. Hook is... the problem, though.
Swindle is chill with pretty much all the Constructicons once all the teething issues pass early on, but Hook?
Yeah, he still butts helms with Vortex and Blast Off, even though Hook does see Vortex as a brother to him and does come to respect Blast Off after. An incident. But Hook can't always help it. He and those two just... are reactive and have tempers that clash.
How often do they cuddle or engage in PDA?
Well... Hook at first doesn't need much cuddling, and he is always reserved about PDA... but he gets to loving Swindle so much, he wants to cuddle them a lot. But he's too reserved to ask unless Swindle picks up on something being amiss with Hook.
Swindle makes Hook into a clingy guy who wants to touch his partner and be close to them...
What are their favorite things to do together?
Hmm. I feel Hook loves simply sitting near Swindle and listening to him talk.
And Swindle enjoys watching Hook work, or being able to pause him mid work with a smile and comment that has Hook very flustered.
Who is more protective? Who would get into a fight to defend the other? Who tends to the other's wounds?
They are both very very protective of each other. Swindle is the one who would get into a fight first to protect Hook or defend his honor, while Hook will instead fight with flaying someone alive with his words alone for hurting Swindle.
Hook is the medic, of course he's going to tend to Swindle's wounds. Swindle knows enough to also tend to Hook's wounds, but we know Hook is stubborn and will tend to Swindle first and foremost.

I must be a little self-indulgent... 🟣 Something Soothing/Domestic for SwinHook, and 🟠 Something Sweet/Fluffy for ScrapperOns I am forcing you to be nice to them lol also, I will send a couple more platonic things separately
This is the only thing I could write T.T
🟣 Something Soothing/Domestic for SwinHook
Hook tapped on the door to Swindle’s room with the point of his crane hook, a low rumble from his engine his ask to come in as his servos were occupied with two individual cubes of energon and his mouth held a datapad in it. A moment or so later, the door unlocked, but there was no Swindle to greet him. It made the crane frown as he pushed the door open further with his shoulder and looked for Swindle. There he was. Swindle was hunched over his desk, working away at something, though Hook couldn’t tell what. Approaching slowly, Hook called Swindle’s name. Swindle didn’t notice. Hook frowned again, darted his gaze around, found a spot to put the energon cubes down, and then his datapad, and gently tapped Swindle’s shoulder. Swindle’s reaction was contained, but Hook recognized the startle as one where Swindle hadn’t even known Hook was there.
“Swindle…” The Combaticon hardly made a sound in response. With a vent, Hook shook his helm and moved behind Swindle where he was seated at his desk. With a low rumble from the crane’s engine that was soothing in intention, he placed his servos on Swindle’s shoulders and slowly massaged out the stress he could feel in his shoulders. Swindle didn’t have to talk. Hook hadn’t come to his room to actually talk with Swindle. All he’d wanted was to share some time with him, to keep company with Swindle after the argument between Swindle and Vortex had left an air of frustration within the Constructicons’ base. Even if that time was now going to be calming Swindle and working the stress out of his shoulders, Hook was more than happy to do so.
He leaned his helm down and nuzzled his faceplate against Swindle’s helm, a soft purr escaping his vocalizer. He didn’t need Swindle to respond. Being with him was more than enough.

Remembered seeing this a little while ago and went "hey... I have some ships I could do this for!" and now we're here! Filled this out in tandem with @wwheeljack. We need more people to see the vision with SwinHook... we're in so deep with them, and I love them so much 🥰🥺💜
Restraining myself from writing out more of my thoughts lol maybe another day I'll add footnotes or something.
Edited some things from the original but here's a link to the blank version.

SwinHook time!
Did either of them try to resist their feelings? & What was their "flirting stage" like?
Were they each other's first anything (kiss, relationship, etc.)? & Who gets jealous easier? & What is their most common argument about?
Who said "I love you" first, and what was the situation? & Who is better at comforting the other? How do they usually comfort each other? & Do they prefer verbal or physical affection? & What reminds them of each other? & What gifts do they typically give each other?
Who hogs the blankets or takes up more than their fair share of the bed? Who puts their cold feet on the other? Who are the big and little spoons?
:)
From here
Did either of them try to resist their feelings?
Swindle definitely did not, but he was willing to let his feelings fade away if Hook showed he wasn't interested.
I don't think Hook necessarily resisted his feelings, but he was very wary and anxious about realizing that he did have a non-platonic interest in Swindle.
What was their "flirting stage" like?
Lmao, Swindle was basically flirting with a brick wall 😂 Swindle wasn't being too pushy, since his intent was to see if Hook responded positively to his flirting. And I can't see Swindle as being like... lecherous. They were complimentary towards Hook and basically expressing a desire to spend more time with Hook.
Meanwhile Hook was just like "Oh, Swindle's being pleasant and friendly", but occasionally would get a little flustered and not understand why he was reacting like that to something Swindle said.
Were they each other's first anything (kiss, relationship, etc.)?
Swindle is Hook's first everything. Hook didn't even know he was capable of having romantic feelings for someone before Swin.
Hook is Swindle's first relationship while being part of gestalt, so that's been something to adjust to.
What is their most common argument about?
Probably about how both of them are prone to overworking and not taking proper care of themselves. It doesn't always turn into a argument per se, but it's not something either of them are able to get better at overnight; it's a process. So just by virtue of it being something they both have to keep working at to improve, it has more chance of being an issue.
Who said "I love you" first, and what was the situation?
Hook. It was in the aftermath of Swindle having a PTSD induced panic attack about the loyalty coding. While they were talking about things afterwards, Hook realized how much he cared for Swindle and wanted him to know it. Swindle was stunned, but said I love you back.
Who is better at comforting the other? How do they usually comfort each other?
Swindle is better at it I'd say. He's good at reading people and figuring out what to say in a given situation to get the desired outcome. Which makes it sound manipulative when I explain it like that lol. But he genuinely cares about and wants to help Hook.
As for how they comfort each other, it depends on what they need. Sometimes just being in the same room together is enough; if Hook is overwhelmed or upset about something he can't always talk about it until he's calmed down, so sharing space is what helps most. They do tend towards holding each other more often than not.
Do they prefer verbal or physical affection?
It depends! They've both been surprised by how much they want and enjoy physical affection with each other though. Hook always gets flustered if Swindle compliments him or says they love him. Swindle likes casual touch, and will just melt if Hook gently cups their face or chin. They're also a sucker for sweet words, and while Hook isn't adept at flirting, he's skilled at his expressing his affection for Swindle.
What reminds them of each other?
Hmm... for Hook about Swindle, if he sees some tech or a ship or weapon that he's heard Swin talk about. Possibly even names of places that Swindle has mentioned having been to before?
For Swindle about Hook, uh... I'm blanking, this is a hard question 😅
What gifts do they typically give each other?
Swindle can be a bit hard to get gifts for, since he's the guy who knows how to get anything and everything he may need. So Hook tends to make things to give to Swindle. He's practically minded, so they're useful items like a subspace storage container or an upgrade/mod Swindle has mentioned in passing.
The most common gift Swindle gets for Hook is definitely sweets. Hook has a MAJOR sweet tooth, and he's not exactly the type to splurge on himself. But Swindle will also try to track down old Cybertronian stuff that may have survived the war, be that books/media/information/etc that exists digitally.
Swindle did find someone to make golden lenses and a matching visor for Hook, for when he ever feels like switching from his current red back to his original optic color.
Who hogs the blankets or takes up more than their fair share of the bed? Who puts their cold feet on the other? Who are the big and little spoons?
Hook is taller, so he probably takes up a bit more space just because of his size haha!
I don't know if cold feet would even be a thing with Cybertronians...
And hmmm, I don't think they actually spoon that often? They tend to sleep in other positions in my mind, but if/when they do spoon it can go either way.
#thank you for sending these!! I appreciate it 💜#wwheeljack#askbox answer#SwinHook#uniend 614.5 iota

sorry not sorry here's one more that's very self-indulgent Reaction to being flirted with? for Hook, but specifically from Swindle hehe (both before and after they get together)
hehehe :)
God, these two are a brain rot.
Reaction to being flirted with (before getting with Swindle)?
Oblivious. He had zero clue. He simply thought Swindle was being polite. Maybe he even would look at Swindle sometimes with a confused ??? expression before resuming his work. He never understood the mind of that Combaticon. But compliments are nice and sometimes Hook does blush a little over them, but they're just compliments.
Reaction to being flirted with (after getting with Swindle)?
Heh. Oh boy. Depends firstly on his mood and how long he and Swin have been together. But he always blushes. If Swindle is being especially flirtatious and handsome, Hook will usually respond with his fans turning on because he got a bit warm under the plating, and he will do his best to flirt back. (Jury is out on whether he can do this very well or not, but Swindle seems to never mind it, so maybe it's alright).
Other times, when he's in the mood for certain, he likes to respond with Swindle's flirting by getting a bit bold and flirting back. Being that getting a little closer to Swindle, backing him into a corner and praising him (Hook knows how badly Swindle likes praise)... If he's busy and Swindle comes over and flirts with him, Hook will sometimes tell him he's not in the mood, but there's still a blush.
Hook has it bad for his partner, even if Swindle's trying to get a rise out of him or distract him. He likes how vexing he can be. It is endearing.

a snippet from my SwinHook oneshot I'm slowly writing:
Swindle sets down the box on the counter, near the cabinet they know Hook keeps his inventory of medical mesh in. “Want me to put it away?”
Hook pauses. The silence stretches as he clearly debates whether to give Swindle the go ahead or not; letting others poke around the medbay without supervision or detailed instruction doesn’t come easily to him. But he does finally relent. “Yes. Thank you.”
Unpacking the supplies and moving them to their new home in the cabinet only takes a few minutes. Which is as much time that it takes Hook to finish with his own task. Just as Swindle thinks he can make a quick getaway while Hook is still busy, the crane instead appears at his side. Swindle looks up at him in time to see his small smile turn into a frown as Hook takes in Swindle’s appearance.
“What happened?” Hook asks, a hint of worry lacing his tone.
#my writing#wip#SwinHook#Hook still feels a little uneasy at times letting others rifle through the medbay supplies#even with people he knows and trusts; it's a habit#also I'm sure Swin's fine :)

Heey:D
For Swinhook, their dynamic seems extremely fun lmao:
Pre Relationship: 2
General: 1, 2, 14
Love: 3, 5, 11
Domestic: 12
Thanks!!
Oh! I love them too, thank you for asking about them :)
Answered two here!
Who initiated the relationship, and how did they go about it?
Swindle did! He approached Hook and announced his intentions, full well knowing Hook would be clueless otherwise if he went about it without bluntness.
Answered two here!
What are some songs that apply to their relationship, in-universe or otherwise?
Oh god, songs T.T
Uh. I'm terrible with songs, I forfeit this question T.T
Who uses the cheesy pick-up lines, or does corny gestures?
While Swindle is not overly cheesy, sometimes he likes to make Hook flustered with cute little comments, or he does his little "finger guns" pose that always makes Hook blush and get flustered.
What kind of nicknames do they call each other?
Hook calls Swindle "love" or "my love" sometimes. Swindle doesn't really have nicknames for Hook, that I can recall? Nicknames are kind of rare for them, really.
Who likes to dance with, or sing for, the other?
Hook.
He was raised in the high caste, and did learn to dance and sing (though he refuses to sing) and he loves gently taking Swindle's servos and leading them in a dance. Then sometimes he will sing for Swindle... especially when Swindle isn't feeling well, or is doing unwell, Hook will gently take their chin between two digits and hum ancient songs he learned from his parents to hopefully soothe his partner...

Let's see, will give a few options from the dynamics we've talked about, don't have to do any or even all or even some of them:
Blast Off & Brawl for ⚪ Something Light/Uplifting? SwinHook for 🟢 Something Longing/Pining
Scrapslaught for 🔵 Something Sad/Angsty
and hmmmmmm, maybe Vortex and Swindle for 🟣 Something Soothing/Domestic
?? just tried to be self indulgent (the non platonic ones lol) and then I want to see the dynamics of the other two since we don't see those sets interact much?
From this
you fool... I love these all and want to write all of them haha
⚪ Something Light/Uplifting | Blast Off & Brawl
Brawl finds Blast Off clearing out the makeshift shooting range and decides to lend a hand. The Stunticons are usually good about helping when asked, even if they complain. So the fact that none of them are in sight suggests that Blast Off needed a break from their high energy and sent them on their way.
"How were they?" Brawl asks.
"Wildrider is making marked improvements. He's much better at retaining things we've gone over previously. Drag Strip still insists on trying to make a competition out of training, but it does seem to motivate him." Blast Off doesn't need to be able to see Brawl's face to know that his words have drawn a smirk from him. "What?"
Brawl shrugs. "Didn't hear any complaints in there. Almost sounds like you like 'em or somethin'."
With a scoff, Blast Off turns his back to Brawl and focuses on his task of breaking down the targets they'd been using. He says nothing to defend himself from Brawl's claims, though.
🟢 Something Longing/Pining | Swindle / Hook
He misses Hook already. It'd only been a day since Hook asked that Swindle not visit in person, concerned for his safety. Gold Plastic Syndrome was no joke. Swindle wanted to protest. They've been careful and hadn't touched once since Hook confirmed its presence in his system...
But he also knows that stress can aggravate it. The last thing he wants to do is make Hook's condition worse by pushing the issue. He knows Hook doesn't want this either, that he's just scared. Hook would likely try to keep his own brothers away, were they not the ones actively treating him. So many of his loved ones are being put in harm's way, he'd like to keep some of them safe.
Swindle knows that.
Doesn't mean he likes the situation. Or feeling so... useless.
🔵 Something Sad/Angsty | Scrapper / Onslaught
Scrapper could not resist the urge to roll his optics - hidden as they were behind his visor - as Starscream was given the floor to speak during the meeting. "Here we go," he mutters to himself. Though apparently not just to himself, as he catches an amused huff from the bot sitting next to him.
Onslaught.
It almost makes Scrapper jump in his seat, but he manages to resist outwardly reacting to it. This was exactly the sort of thing the two of them would share a knowing glance about, and then follow up after the meeting was done to go over how ridiculous the whole thing was.
But he knew those days were over. The last time he tried to be friendly like that with Onslaught, it had ended bitterly. Whatever friendship they'd had before was gone, Scrapper knew that much.
So instead of trying to reach out, he simply keeps the memory of that old Onslaught. Quietly enjoys the rare times, like this, when that version of him makes itself known.
It's better than risking making things worse.
🟣 Something Soothing/Domestic | Vortex & Swindle
"Here. Look at this and tell me what you think," Swindle says, dangling the datapad he'd been using in front of Vortex's face.
Vortex snatches the device, but doesn't move from where he's lounging on the couch. He stares at the screen for a few moments before finally asking, "What am I looking at?"
"The latest and greatest of civilian class starships available on the market."
"People sell this scrap?" Vortex's voice is laced with distaste. "People buy it?"
Swindle gestures to Vortex. "That's what I said! They don't even try to make up for the terrible fuel efficiency or outdated navigation systems by having the ships look nice! They look like-"
"Like Bruticus tossed them around, then stomped on 'em, then used his flamethrower for good measure?"
"Exactly."

For both ships! II-1 and II-14
From here
Who initiated the relationship, and how did they go about it?
SwinHook: Swindle initiated things! The Combaticons and Constructicons had been reconnecting on Earth for a while, and it eventually led to them all living together (along with the Stunticons). Hook was "ordered" by Scrapper to try and be more social, so Swindle being the charismatic bot he is was lending Hook a hand with learning how to socialize. They spent time together, and Swindle found himself intrigued by Hook.
But Swindle had zero clue if Hook was even interested in romance. He'd never been with anyone during the war, and had never shown any interest that Swindle was aware of (and you know Swin was aware of all the rumors that circulated the Decepticon ranks). So he started to flirt a little bit, just to test the waters and see how Hook responded.
Except Hook was so oblivious, he had no idea what Swindle was trying to do. He just thought Swin was being nice and occasionally complimenting him lmao. It was cute though, and even if Hook didn't get what Swin was doing, his comments seemed to perk Hook up. He then did just outright ask Hook out (which Hook hilariously also didn't understand at first). In Hook's mind they went from 0 to suddenly romantic interest???
And then they went on their date and it was very cute, and the rest is history.
ScrapperOns: Despite Scrapper being the one to develop feelings first and hold onto those feelings for millions of years, it was Ons who finally brought up the topic of a romantic relationship.
Swindle and Hook had been together for a while, and Ons saw that they were making things work. Onslaught was very against pursuing romantic and/or sexual relationships during the war, so it wasn't something he'd ever let himself consider. He wasn't oblivious to Scrapper's interest, but he didn't dwell on it either. It was simpler to ignore it unless Scrapper ever actually broached the subject, which he never did.
But once they're all away from the Decepticons and the direct conflict of the war, seeing Swindle and Hook's relationship grow... Ons let himself consider the possibility of something like that for himself. He'd been close to Scrapper before, and their friendship was being rebuilt. There were plenty of things Ons admired about Scrapper. The idea of exploring a potential romantic relationship with him sounded nice.
So he asked Scrapper if he'd been imagining those lingering touches and looks and what they meant... And when Scrapper confirmed his own interest, Onslaught asked if they could see where things go between them.
What are some songs that apply to their relationship, in-universe or otherwise?
LOL I was just thinking the other day how I struggle with songs for ships because I don't have a lot of music about romantic love 😅 or I guess it's more like, they don't spring to mind for me because I don't pay attention to the romantic tone most of the time. So let's see...
SwinHook: Feral Hearts by Kerli, Valley of the Mind's Eye by Thomas Dolby, A Gallant Gentleman by We Lost the Sea
ScrapperOns: Something About Us by Daft Punk, We Walk by The Ting Tings, The Old Haunt by The Dear Hunter. And this one is a little more silly, but Holding Out for a Hero is totally Scrapper about Ons lmao
