Bookmarker's Notes
• -It's hard to walk away from Omelas if it hasn't been built yet.- read ‘the ones who walk away from omelas’ completely, and am still not quite sure what this means. Still, the though of a joyous city, whose joy depends on the continued suffering of one, is an interesting conundrum. DO the needs of one outweigh the needs of the many? Can’t wait to see what this fic makes of that.
• Op and Megs are stuck in a cave-in. The ‘wretched one’ is also stuck underground and suffering for everyone else’s sake. I feel like there’s a relation, but we’ll have to wait and see.
• -He had never quite understood that there was a surface,- could this be making the argument that those selenium miners were the wretched ones? If so, what uses could selenium have that could possibly be comparable to providing joy to a civilization? Edit: my god it was. In a way
• -“You can’t actually be this much of a prude, can you?”- you’re offering, Megs? Well then, OP sure is a lucky mech
• -Tarn—”“No,” Optimus said. It was a flat, desperate denial.- can’t you believe your nemesis has hidden depths to him?
• -I’m curious how your brain functions.- well… at least it’s genuine interest AND he’s being honest
• -he just lay there and—and—let it hit him- HOW?? Is this possible? Talked into and through an orgasm. Wow. Megs has got some serious game!
• -Megatron was the lie- I don’t think so. The Voice of Tarn and Megatron are two sides of the same coin. They might seem contradictory, but one is the ideal and the other is the implementation.
• -Megatron, who wasn’t a (…) brutal warlord at all, but the more-horrific opposite, a visionary who had chosen (…) a cause (…) not even for any hope of lasting happiness for himself or anyone else. Only for a cold, merciless truth laid bare- that’s A Choice. At least he’s committed to… equality, in a way? Edit: equality of opportunity, at least
• -he heard Megatron weeping: mourning, in breathless agony, the nameless brothers he’d left behind down in the dark (…) [who had] sent him up into the light—and who had paid for that kindness, for that love, with death.- Megatron has rationalized everything away by the ‘only the strong can persevere’ mindset, and perhaps (most likely) he never let himself mourn for them properly. Maybe now, he can.
• -He wanted to taste Megatron’s truth again, that shocking brilliance (…) to feel himself giving and taking equal measures of strength- and isn’t that what love is all about? And if not, then it’s the best start. For hope, for a good end.
• -Megatron was going to build a better world- by the logic of ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’
• -All my buried sins have come up from the dark to claim me- oh my god… if I hadn’t already thought sentinel deserved what he got, I certainly would now
• -Your Matrix. You got it working (…) the Oracle, actually- and the first thing you used it for was fraternizing with the enemy. sick name tho
• -We’ve won, by the way (…) You do realize you handed me a way to look into the future?- oh, he does have his priorities straight. Now that Megatron can see the future, there’s some real hope for Cybertron
• -So I’ll make the bargain for us all
And if there’s a way to that empire shining like an unsheathed blade with truth
Buy it with all we have
Though we won’t know if we’ll make it until we have.- I love this. SO MUCH. We won’t know it, but we’ll have to make the bargain in the hopes of getting what we need.
• I’ve NEVER seen that many links in the ‘works inspired by this one’, wow. Though I can’t blame them, it was a great fic, I felt inspired to. -

• -I was willing to overlook this admittedly-grievous violation of someone’s self (…) she could hardly recall having a dream at all.- things are much easier without having to worry about those Pesky Morals. Sure, we mind-controlled some rando, but the ends justify the means, right?

Summary
Sentinel's life seems perfect: born into a unified Cybertron and serving as the trusted advisor to the 13 Primes— everything a bot could desire.
Or so it seemed.

Bookmarker's Notes
• -she thought, May he grow to create as I do, to shape this world with his own hands.- and so he will, in all the worst ways.
• -Sentinel had been born into a world where the expectations placed upon him were immense- which he may grow to resent of revel in
• -Prima observed him with an almost parental affection- almost? You are to be his caretaker. If he decides to kill all the primes, it will be much worse, morally.
• -To question Primus’s decision— it was unthinkable. And yet, here he was, still pondering the same questions (…) Why did you stop speaking to me, Primus?- you feel cast aside. It hurt, to be passed over in zeta’s favor.
• -It made him feel small, not just in size, but in worth. (…) “Just a reminder— he was born yesterday,”- well put, prima. All of them, with their lofty expectations, belittle sentinel.
• -Why didn’t Sentinel speak? Was it fear? Was it something else?- what IS the cause of his silence? Is he evaluating everything before he acts, as a good commander/counselor should, or is he overwhelmed?
• -But his voice remained lodged somewhere deep within him, trapped by an overwhelming fear of not living up to the expectations- so it IS fear. It’s to be expected, such a young spark and already so weighed down by it all
• -All meant to fit perfectly, to never break the mold. Is that all I’m meant to be?- perceptive, little newspark. Of course you are.
• -a quiet resistance against the weight of expectation pressing down on him- defiant. It’ll be interesting to see what he grows to be.
• -“it’s more than just metal and machinery. Here, you’re free to explore your true self, your potential, without the constraints of what others expect of you.”- its curious that Solus would emphasize that, considering that’s exactly what sentinel longs for.
• -his first words were born out of embarrassment and desperation- liege maximo is a nasty piece of work. Such an important moment, tainted. -

Summary
“I won’t sign off on any procedures designed to cause harm to Decepticons,” Ratchet snaps. He indicates the charming little diagram projected from the table, showing a Decepticon with his primary weapons systems physically removed from his frame. “The last I checked, torturing prisoners is against the Autobot Code.”

Bookmarker's Notes
• -The jelly will provide Glit with another desperately needed new sensory experience, one of his own rather than Soundwave’s, or Ratchet’s.- depressing
• -Optimus certainly (…) doesn’t want to hurt them, either, but—he was doing it anyway. Because Decepticons were made for destruction. Soundwave, Hook, Megatron—none of the Decepticons understand peace. They can’t even imagine it. Because the Autobots built them without those parts.- ratchet’s on the cusp of a realization. I wonder what decision he’ll come to. This reminds me of astolat’s works.
• -this fierce and uncompromising call to arms is what Decepticons hold in their sparks—it’s just as terrible as Ratchet ever could have imagined.- they were made to be this way. Does it truly come as such a surprise? Regrettable, yes, but not strange.
• -“Oh, I um, talked him into it,” Glit says- talked him into peace negotiations. So proud of you, Glit.
• -Soundwave’s newspark. And in some strange, roundabout way, Ratchet’s.- oh yeah, go get your baby Ratch’ -

Meanwhile, Bumblebee deals with having a bond with a mech who doesn't even know who he is.
Meanwhile Meanwhile, things on Cybertron go from bad to worse as Nominus and Ultra Magnus close their fists around the Autobots in preparation for the Decepticon invasion lead none other than Optimus and Megatron themselves.

• -"Then be a loyal dog," he smiles, "I have given you life. Now you're stuck with me for the rest of it."- diggity DAMN! Now that’s a confident little prime.
