and dreams of gentle and loving hands of mechs he cannot recall the faces of. (7/7)

and Orion Pax grows up with an ache on his spark that tells him he's missing something far more important than a t-cog (6/7)

and so Optimus Prime disappears, presumed dead and quietly erased from the records. (5/7)

but when the Primes are betrayed and killed, the High Guard have to make a choice. to take their last Prime with them to the surface to be hunted down. or hide him in plain sight, where no one will think to look. they make their decision and pray Primus will keep their last child safe. (4/7)

he's his siblings' little miracle child. their pride and joy <3 (3/7)

he's kept mostly out of the spotlight by his siblings, who don't wish to expose him to everyone's attention so young, and want to wait until the war is done and over to properly introduce him to their people. (2/7)

they're bluffing btw. they can't actually do much if megatron decides to attack anyway. they can only stand and watch as their youngest brother gets hurt by the person he loved more than anything or anyone over and over again :)

they're a gossipy old bunch! they gave optimus all the dirt he could ever need to make fighting a whole war against them a little bit more bearable 🤭
but also yes! in this au the decepticons cannot handle talking with OP very long bc it feels like a lil too much like talking to a long dead friend
