Chapter 9

“Deadlock says we didn’t have to pretend to be pirates, but—”
Optimus wasn’t paying very much attention to him, honestly. His processor was still dwelling on more absorbing topics, like how to restructure a government without the Primacy, and the way Megatron had gazed deep into his optics.

Thanks to [archiveofourown.org profile] entangledwood and [tumblr.com profile] megatronstillright for being amazing and very patient, and also to everyone else who has been waiting patiently for this chapter (it has been...more than a year and I know and I've been working on this chapter on and off that entire time l o l). And shout out to [tumblr.com profile] ariesnohope who made amazing art of Chapter 7!

Megatron tries publishing his essays under a pseudonym. Optimus Prime uses a fake identity to contact his new favorite writer. As the two factions fight over the resources of a small alien planet, the war rages on. Both leaders have never been happier.

Thank you to [tumblr.com profile] tfbigbang - would never have written this fic without the Big Bang challenge. To my artist [twitter.com profile] coppernickels for being incredible. (Check out their gorgeous art!) To my beta, [tumblr.com profile] megatronwasright for being patient and kind and a genius. And to everyone who’s been reading and commenting, thank you!
As before, feel free to ask me questions about the philosophical discussions in this fic, or about the works cited at the end of Chapter 7, or about anything! I love hearing what people think about it!

Chapter 1

It's my [tumblr.com profile] tfbigbang fic!! God, I'm so excited. I've been dying to share this for months! There will be new fics posted through the month of August, with some fics (like mine) going chapter by chapter. Visit it here!

My Big Bang artist [twitter.com profile] coppernickels created gorgeous art featuring scenes from Chapter 2 and Chapter 4! She was so patient with my very out of order draft during this process—thank you! You can also find the art on tumblr!

And thank you again and again to [tumblr.com profile] megatronwasright for being a great beta, for telling me when things weren't working, and most of all for cheering me on.

Ethics and Employee Management is basically a You've Got Mail AU where MegOP are enormous philosophy nerds—so if anyone wants to ask me for more information about any of the philosophical discussions they have in the fic (most of which are concentrated in Chapter 1) please go for it. (With the caveat that MegOP's opinions are not necessarily my opinions.) I can also recommend further reading if anyone wants to know more about epistemic injustice or philosophy of religion, two of the big things they discuss. 

Chapter 8

“It’s a peace offering. Or an apology,” the Prime said softly. He was still playing at shyness.

Chapter 7

“Do you know where I first saw that phrase, Prime?”
 
‘Prime’ came out sounding like a curse. But Optimus didn’t understand. What was wrong?
 
“‘Til all are one.”

So an anon over on CuriousCat a little while ago (come visit me, ask me questions!) asked about any headcanons I wanted to share and any tips I had about characterization. So I wrote a short essay, mostly about Optimus Prime and the different ways I like to write him. Thought I'd put it up here as well!

I feel a bit...weird about giving advice? or talking about my process? Because I still don't feel very experienced as a writer. But it's under the cut if you're interested!

Summary:
“Look, Prime. Don’t be stupid. We can’t just take a week off to wallow in unfulfilled lust together."

This was a gift for the Chocolate Box gift exchange and I have been dying to talk about it. I was so lucky to get to make this gift for [personal profile] astolat and I am so, so delighted with it. I'd been working on a little sex pollen plot bunny for these two, and her prompts made me expand the premise...by 8k lol.
 
This story, in addition to a being a fun, sexy romp through tropeville, also contains a lot of references to the Aeneid. I was looking for a good piece of classical literature for the two of them to discuss, and I thought using one I was so familiar with as a basis would be helpful. Instead I fell down the rabbit hole of being a total nerd and reading academic articles and doing my own translations. It was actually really, really fun, and I loved it.
 
The first quote is from the very beginning and references Juno's wrath against Aeneas, the main quote is from book IV, and Megatron's references to it are about Venus using her power to make Dido fall in lust with Aeneas, leading to the demise of her kingdom and her eventual death. Another section is from Venus's seduction of her husband, Vulcan. For anyone looking for more details on the references, I do have line by line notes lying around somewhere, just ask.

Summary:
It had all been decided in the middle of a battle. Before Optimus had known what was happening, somehow they’d agreed that control of the planet Earth would be decided by single ‘combat’ between himself and Megatron, where the loser was the one who couldn’t overload anymore.

Happy belated Holidays to RHPlus over on AO3 who is responsible for the premise and the editing and being amazing in general.
