Character meme: Smokescreen and Swindle

[ayngelcat]

I’ve been talking about this meme for a while after having great fun RP’ing both these two; so here it is!

This meme proceeds on the basis that Smokescreen and Swindle are an item before the war, in keeping with all my headcanon. There’s more information about what may have given them a particular ‘affinity’ here and here

Having said that, they are by no means monogamous! I’ll write to these prompts in either 1) fics about either of them alone or 2) about them as a pair or 3) about either of them in combination with other characters.

There’s no limits to subject matter or time set. And I can do P&P, sticky, angst, emotional drama or whatever.

So here’s the list. Feel free to claim more than one prompt.

Greed - Smokey and Swin together in a casino ;) Perhaps they're there for the same reason, and perhaps not...

Lust - the first time they hooked up.

♥ Hope you like the prompts. This is going to be epic! :D

[ayngelcat.livejournal.com]

Thanks and no worries - I shall enjoy writing, heheh!

Re Lust - I think they maybe had a kind of 'courtship.' Well, Smokey saw it as such. I don't know about Swin LOL

[ultharkitty.livejournal.com]

Judging by how easily Smokey gets infatuated, a pat on the aft might be considered courtship ;)

But nah, a courtship fic would be glorious for these guys! :D Admission time: I have a thing for well-written courtship fics, especially if there's some kind of difficulty put in the way of the characters but they end up together at the end anyway (I'm totally blaming Jane Austin for this, because it's entirely her fault :P).

Oh, melud I'll have to re-read Sense and Sensibility. Somehow I think this might be a bit more cracky than that.

I'm always more inclined to think of Wuthering Heights when it comes to Smokescreen :P

[ultharkitty.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha! Yes.

Have you seen the Alan Rickman and Kate Winslet adaptation of Sense and Sensiblity? Le sigh.

[ayngelcat.livejournal.com]

Yes!!! I've got it. It's wonderful. Maybe I'll watch it this week LOL

Sorry this has taken forever, but here's the first bit at last. Some con-work from Swindle but no smut yet - I think that is at about Chapter 3/4! LOL http://archiveofourown.org/works/267717

[ultharkitty.livejournal.com]

Awesomesauce! Thankyou, I'm reading it now <3

[ayngelcat.livejournal.com]

If you notice any typos could you please point them out? Cheers :-)

[ultharkitty.livejournal.com]

Shall do!

[artemis10002000]

Oooh, shiny prompts! *grins eagerly*

I'll take Misery, Swindle and Smokey "misery loves company"

And... uh... Nostalgia, Swindle whilst in the Detention Centre

[ayngelcat.livejournal.com]

Thanks - all yours!

The Misery one - I always had in my head that Smokescreen visited Swindle in the DC - Swindle was the only one who was allowed visitors, and he could appear in holographic form! So I may make it one of the visits.

But let me know if that isn't OK !!

[artemis10002000]

Nooo, that's awesome! *grins evilly*

[femme4jack.livejournal.com]

Oooh Justice - Bluestreak and Smokey after the destruction of Praxis. Bonus for bringing Swindle in somehow...

[ayngelcat.livejournal.com]

OK - you're on!

Now in my headcanon, Smokey and Bluestreak are half siblings or cousins. Is it OK for me to proceed on this basis? Or did you want a 'romantic' (non incestuous) basis? LOL

Swindle can certainly be in the picture XD

[femme4jack.livejournal.com]

I read your profile on Smokey - I liked that they were siblings XD. That doesn't mean I'd say no to incest. Take it wherever you wish. Yay!

[naboru-narluin.livejournal.com]

OMG; how did I miss this?! O__O

Dammit.

Okay, I want
Terror with Smokey and Swindle’s colleagues (aka Combaticons) lacking Swindle and without Vortex. :p Would that be possible?

Embarrassment with Swindle (and maybe Smokey?) and Blast Off. :p

[ayngelcat.livejournal.com]

No worries - there's so much going on I can fully understand anyone missing anything! LOL

Should be entirely possible! But perhaps re "Terror" you could give me an idea of the sort of situation you had in mind ?? Sounds like fun :D

This may take a while .... <3
