Fic: Tattooing for ‘Bots

Title: Tattooing for ‘Bots
Fandom: Transformers
Pairing: Ratchet/Sideswipe
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: All fun, no cash.
Author’s notes: 100% organic. May contain minor flaws and imperfections that beta-treated slash wouldn’t.
Summary: I blame the cold and flu drugs. I really do. I have no better excuse! I am off my head on pseudoephedrine and woke up with this in my head. Forgive me! Please forgive me!


“It’s alright.” Ratchet held on to the heated door panel, stroking the trembling corvette. “Just let it cool.”

Sideswipe shuddered, breathing heavily as he tried to crane to look at the design. “Thank you for this. You don’t know what it means to me.”

“I think I do.” Ratchet soothed, tenderly brushing his fingers over the edges of the weld. “It means you’re home.”

Sideswipe looked away, trying to hide his flushed fenders as Ratchet wrapped an arm around him, placing his mirrors so Sideswipe could see the design. The weld was still settling with the plinkplink of cooling metal but he could see it now – the Autobot symbol, picked out it elegant relief on his lower right door. “Thank you.” he sighed, feeling complete despite the pain. “Thank you so much.”

Ratchet pressed a hand to his burning cheek. “Welcome to the family.”

Hey babe! How are you? How are things going? I haven’t heard from you for ages. I have a feeling I’m missing emails lately; yahoo hates me and eats things. How’s life?

I just sent you a note via Live Journal - I hope you get it! Drop me a line either through LJ or through normal channels - I've missed you!!

Aww this is cute. Never thought of Ratchet and Sideswipe before.

Good job, though I'm sorry your not feeling well.

Thanks, feeling much better today but have elected to stay on the couch to recover. I blame the drugs.

I don’t think I’ve watched the cartoons since I was little so I have no idea where this came from. Are Ratchet and Sideswipe a weird combo to ship? I really don’t know enough about the fandom, it just kinda happened.

A day on the couch sounds like a great idea.

I've only read a little bit of Transformer fanfic. I haven't seen Ratchet/Sideswipe but I think it works great.
