Okay, yes I haven't forgotten about Welcome to the Circus, I actually finished writing it, I'm just waiting for a friend to read over it and at the same time I'm trying not to be a pest about it.
And yeah this has not been read over, so sorry for any errors.

This is an idea that's floated around my head for a while, so the design is my own. I'll link pictures in my profile.

I own nothing but the Crystalite design and idea

In a Crystal Garden; separate from the Helix Gardens and much smaller scale, the tinkling of splintering glass could be heard.

A pair of crystals; one black as midnight and the other a clear white, both intertwined together in a mimicry of a double helix could almost be seen as coming to life.

Liquid lights could be seen flowing through them as the tinkling got louder until a shatter cut through the air, and a tiny crystal fell to the ground, cracking slightly.


"My Lord!" the servant rushed over to the Lord of the house, stopping an arms length away.

The Lord looked over from speaking with a Praxian mech, that also now looked interested in the sudden interruption, "What is it?"

The servant held out a small fragment of opaque white crystal, "A fragment was found near some of the bigger kept structures, they did not have any mars for where it could have come from."

"And you bring this to my attention why?" the lord was not pleased, feeling as though the servant was just there to waist his time.

"Well my Lord, we can't replant it, it has no roots to grow and we did not wish to throw it out without your permission first," the servant suddenly looked quite nervous, voicing their reason for interrupting, when it did not seem the best reason.

The Lord let out a sigh, shuttering his optics to calm down before replying, "Just throw it out."

The servant bowed and went to turn when he was stopped by the other mech speaking.

"My Lord, if it would be alright, I would take it, if it is to be thrown out anyway," the mech was looking at the Lord, who turned back to look at the servant, motioning for them to hand it over.

"It's yours."

The tiny crystal was quickly handed over, the servant hustling back to their duties afterward.

The Lord and mech watched them leave before smiling at each other as long time friends would.

The Lord clapped the other on the back, "Now then, where were we Frost?"


Frostbite had just gotten back from a long business trip and had finished up by meeting with his old friend, Lord Jetstream.

He was hoping to bring something home to his sparkmate, and obtaining the crystal had saved him some time to surprise his family.

Driving up to the learning center to see the younglings running to their creators put a smile on Frost's face, and when he made optic contact with one youngling in particular, he just beamed and waved.

"Sire!" the youngling quickly ran over to throw himself at his creator that had been gone for so long.

Frost laughed as he lifted the youngling up over his helm, the other laughing with.

He placed the sparkling down so he could transform and let the other into his cab, before heading for home.

"So how's my little Prowl?"

Prowl beamed at his sire's console before telling him about his day and what he had learned when the other was away.

Frost laughed as Prowl continued to explain some tricks he'd help pull on some school bullies, "Well sounds like you've gotten up to a lot."

Arriving home Frost let Prowl out before transforming to bipedal so they could both walk into their home.

Frost looked around, checking what he'd missed while he was away before he sat at the monitor in the living room and pulled the tiny crystal out of his subspace.

"What's that?" asked the innocent voice next to his leg.

Frost looked over before smiling and lifting Prowl up to sit on the counter beside the monitor, so he could see what he was doing.

"It's for your carrier, it's a surprise," as he put one finger in front of his lips.

Prowl brightened while eagerly watching his sire work.

Frost examined the crystal, noting the small shatter cross ways through it. He pulled out a small pair of tweezers to remove the small shards within the crack, so as not to be harmful when handling, then rubbing it softly to clean it up and remove any loose debris when it shuttered in his grasp.

Frost froze as he held the shuttering crystal, as him and Prowl watched in awe as the tiny crystal seemed to open up and shift till it was a palm sized black crystal.

Frost shifted it in his grasp, turning it over when it shuttered again. Placing it down gently, he watched as a tiny crystal-like sparkling unfolded from it's balled up state before balling back up and keening pitifully.

"Is that a sparkling?" Prowl asked with a confused expression on his faceplates.

Frost was in shock as he continued to watch the tiny being keen and begin shuttering.

Snapping out of it, Frost quickly directed for Prowl to go and retrieve some thermal blankets for it while he scooped it back up and headed for the kitchen to find some energon that would be suitable for a sparkling.

Prowl quickly returned with his own thermal blanket for the sparkling, when Frost found some sparkling grade energon that they'd had extra of when Prowl was a sparkling.

Frost handed over the tiny being to Prowl, who tried not to fumble, not used to holding something so fragile. Prowl quickly and gently bundled up the keening creature before handing it back to his sire.

Frost brought the energon to the sparklets mouth where it briefly quieted to whimpers before sniffing the substance and bundling up more to get away from it. The keening continued when Frost handed the sparklet back to Prowl before comming his sparkmate.

:Lavender!: he all but shouted through the comm.

:Frost?: was the query on the other end.

:Yes, sorry but I need your help with something! Are you on your way home?: he glanced over at Prowl, who was attempting to calm the little one in his arms, his doorwings quivering.

:Yes, why? Wait, are you home?!: was the suddenly exited question.

:Yes I am, but this is serious, I need you to stop at a crystal growth store to pick up whatever it is that helps small crystals grow!:

:Um…okay. What is this about, you sound pretty frazzled?: she replied with concern.

:You'll see when you get home, but I need you to hurry:

:Okay, I'm on it: she cut the comm. before he could reply.

Frost took the sparkling back before heading to the couch to sit down, Prowl following and climbing up to sit next to him.

Both stared at the bitlet that was made up of black crystal, it was no bigger than Frost's servo and was continuingly trying to ball up tighter the more desperate it's keening got.

The door quickly slid open, admitting Lavender into the residence. She froze as she heard the sound of light keening in the other room and quickly made her way over.

She approached hesitantly before sitting on Frost's other side to stare down into the thermal blankets in his arms. Optics widening, she quickly removed the formula from her subspace before heading to their kitchenette to place it into an appropriate container, then quickly returning.

Lavender grabbed the sparkling from Frostbite's arms gently, keeping it still bundled in the thermal blanket before bringing the small tube from the bottle to the sparklets mouth. Once again the little one sniffed the substance before this time clamping down on the tube to take in the formula.

Frost and Prowl audibly sighed as they let their shoulders fall, thankful that the little one had finally taken something in.

Lavender sat back down, this time between the two. She shifted the thermal blanket a bit to see more of the little one, before stopping to look at the crack across it's chest where a bright white light was being emitted.

Frost noted that it looked exactly like the chip on the crystal and that it would need to be looked at better at a later time.

The family watched as it stopped drinking, then curled back up, still with a light shutter and transformed back into its tiny crystal form.

There would be questions needing answered.

Sorry for bad grammer or anything, but I'd like to know what you guys think about the idea.

You can guess by my designs who the Crystalite is.
