Summary: Ratchet has only just joined the Autobots and has some doubts until he gets some advice from his new comrades.

Also, I have come to the realization that I have drawn inspiration from bittereloquent’s fantastic fic Keep Them From Harm and Injustice …. Go read it now! (well, after you’ve read this)

*pets Ratchet* Poor thing... a month in and almost regretting it...

I'll have you know I am very glad I'm on my own in the office as I squealed very loudly when I saw this... take that as a very large compliment!

*grin* Oh I do take it as a compliment! I'm always glad to hear that folks are happy to see one of my stories posted *grin*

And, yes, poor Ratchet. I think I need to stop being so mean to him. I'll try to make it up to him in the next fic.

Nah... he likes it when we're mean to him... at least, that's what I keep telling myself...

:)

You know, him being a masochist explains so much! I'll keep that in mind when the next Megatron/Ratchet bunny jumps into my head.

*snerk* So THAT's why he's paired up with Wheeljack!

Eeeee! How did I miss this!?! Much love! *squees* I <3 your Ratchet and Wheeljack dynamics so much. I was just re-reading your fics last night because of Smokescreen. I got bit by a Smokescreen bunny, the world is coming to an end. XP LOL And it's all your fault. XP So if you're being inspired by my fics, your fics are certainly feeding my bunnies as well. ^__^

Mutual bunny feeding! It's a problem. They do tend to intermingle and feed off of each other an awful lot!

No worries on missing this fic, by tthe way. I posted on a busy day and I think it quickly fell off of friends pages. Besides, you were recovering from dental torture.

I'm really glad you like this. Ratchet and Wheeljack are one of my favourite pairings out there. They just work so well together, be it romantically or platonically. And if you're being inspired to write Smokescreen because of some of my pieces, then that's great. Poor Smokey never gets enough love.

Yeah, I think that's why they're called plot BUNNIES. Because they multiple like rabbits. >_< *fends 'em off with a stick* But yeah, I always love your fics so new stuff to read is always a treat, lemme tell ya!

And I agree, Smokey doesn't get enough love. A lot of that's gotta be because he never got any real screen-time and he is a bit of a complex character. And thus it's so easy to stereotype him and just sorta shove him in the background like Red. The least loved Datsun, poor baby.

[wyntir-rose.livejournal.com]

*blush* Well thank you. I feel the same way about your work too.

Yeah, I think that the problem with Smokey is just that. He really is quite complex, even with the little bit of screen time he gets. I think that we'll just have to pimp him out there until people learn to appreciate him more.
