It's clear Starscream was experienced. I liked that. So was Arcee. No fumbling bumbling virgin antics from either of them. It's hinted even that he spent time learning the touches she liked as the love scene progressed.

I won't spoil the very end, however it was well done how the events played out after Starscream and Arcee gave themselves to each other. They open themselves right before the story itself climaxes with the dimension they fell into threatening to collapse around them. The warning signs were there and ignored like the warning signs of their impending romance were ignored until they reached a point of inevitability.

Through all of it Arcee viewed Starscream in stages. Enemy to wounded bot, wounded bot to emotional being, emotional being to friend and friend to lover. She pushed him away for a while out of fear of growing close because she's lost friends in the past. Once they acknowledge their feelings to each other Arcee reconciles with "we have NOW" and holds on to those moments. They promise to meet again if they're both alive when the war is over. That plants the hope for the future which is a blank slate.

By the end you want them both to live so they can meet again. It's a painful hope and it depends on how the series pans out.

I see where people might question the characterization. However Prime is such a new series and there is still so much we don't know about the characters. The author kept their pasts mostly ambiguous to allow for the series to fill in and I thought that was a smart move too. I am curious to what she might write about the fate of Starscream's trine. Starscream's reaction to Arcee's snotty remark says they died in a horrible way if it still affects him so many years later. Another point is the tears. Starscream freely let them well in his eyes while Arcee fought hers until the very end of the story. Yet another subtle contrast I enjoyed.

No fic is ever perfect yet that is why I enjoyed this one.

Oh dear me, I rambled far too long.

Good night LJers!

Why for the love of Primus did you post this here rather than telling the fic's author directly?

No kidding! That was quite something to wake up to in my inbox, lol. Just go comment on ff.net. Copy/paste, yo.

I sent her a pm on ff.net.
