Basically how every interaction went between these two 😭

[zingtasticccc]

I love that people just take it as read that Drift has a praise kink.

I photographed a bunch of sketches from my paper sketchbook and then mashed them all into one post! >:D

I was drawing them all without any refs so their anatomy and designs a bit mixed between different generations haha but mostly it’s mtmte..I think.

"Mind if I make a little music?" Drift asked, holding out a hand for Ratchet to pass him the synthboard.

"Not at all," Ratchet said, offering it up by the strap.

Drift spun it above his head, hands dancing over the board and making a truly awful sounding ruckus out of the speakers. His optics were locked on something behind Ratchet. He took the clue and ducked his head to Drift's chest so that Drift could swing. The speakers screeched and a body fell back."

Unfortunately I can’t kiss the author of this fic, so I decided to do the next closest thing and drew this instead haha

Hey this panel is super cute, but also I can’t stop thinking about how like… for the entire series ratchet has been trying to gently dissuade drift from protecting him by standing in front of him and slicing everything that comes near them into tiny pieces (because that’s just been his immediate response to danger on multiple occasions?) but this time that’s like…. specifically what he was put there to do. His time finally came gsjdsjdsfsdhjs

Afterwards, Drift talks to Ratchet. I wrote a ficlet about Drift, Rung, Ratchet and feelings set after the end of LL25 & you would not believe how hard it is to describe this without spoiling anything.

belated lost light 25 response: I cannot remember ever responding to the ending of a story with so much grief and so much gratitude.

No other story has opened it’s arms and welcomed me home like mtmte. An ending that had left everything perfect would have have felt like a closed door. This feels like a door thrown open, welcoming me to take shelter here a little longer. However long I need it.

Drift headcanon: modulating your optic colors for a Cybertronian is sorta like wiggling your ears for a human. There’s a knack to it, some people can do it, most people can’t. The people who can’t think it’s a dumb waste of time, especially given that the effect is fairly subtle. Drift, who is both an overachiever and deeply impractical, practiced until he could modulate both optic colors separately. He uses this to wink at Ratchet.
