A/N: And it is done! yay!
--Start--
01. air
There were times when Fireflight would go to the firing range, not to practice, but to savor the scent of battle (heated rifles, burning metal) in the air - the scent that clung so tightly to his beloved.
02. apples -
Sandstorm was pretty sure Flight had not meant for his lover to daily pelt Topspin with the little red fruit when he gave the crate, but they did keep the medic away.
03. beginning
Autobots were crazy, Dirge decided as he spiraled to the ground smoking; for them to shoot at him was normal but what the Pit did that triplechanger mean by "thanks"?!
04. bugs
It had taken him a long time to fill the jar but somehow Sandstorm could find it in himself to be annoyed when Fireflight happily set the fireflies free.
05. coffee
No stimulant could get the triplechanger out of recharge faster than mentioning, even just whispering, a certain red jet's designation – screaming it into his audios just made for a better reaction.
06. dark -
Dark and cramped it may have been, but Sandstorm was there so there Flight wanted -no, had- to be.
07. despair
Lying in a ditch, battered and leaking, Sandstorm wearily raised his head to demand of the blue sky "Why?" - but got distracted by the sight of a red jet winging its way to him.
08. doors
Despite having been presented with a gun to his faceplate upon bursting through Flight's doors unannounced, Air Raid noted that the still-groggy Wrecker was crouched protectively in front of his recharging teammate.
09. drink
He never expected to be more than casual friends but at that moment, Fireflight couldn't be more grateful to the pink femme as Arcee passed him a cube of energon and, together with Hot Rod, sat down beside the Aerial outside the medbay.
10. duty -
For Sandstorm it was an onerous task, as tedious as it was necessary while in Flight's processor, cleaning the grit out of the triplechanger's axles and joints was practically a sacred task - anything that raised the chances of his lover coming back was.
11. earth
There was no doubt that he loved Earth and its marvels but there were times that the Aerial wished he could be with the triplechanger to see the sights the Wrecker wrote to him about.
12. end
There would be no 'living' for him should Fireflight be terminated first - just a meaningless existence that would stretch on until someone managed to end his misery.
13. fall
Some said "love was like a leap" and Sandstorm hung back, afraid to fall, while the red jet opened his arms - "I'll catch you."
14. fire
"The hottest fires burn blue" – those who locked optics with the Aerial after that last brutal battle actually pitied the Decepticon that injured the orange tirplechanger.
15. flexible
Peering into the monitor, Scoop couldn't help but be impressed; he didn't know winged bots could bend that much.
16. flying
The storm had barely stopped when Flight launched himself into the sky with his lover right at his heels - birds belonged in the sky after all.
17. food
Since neither would allow the other to sacrifice for his sake, the last energon ration was split evenly in half.
18. foot -
After the 'Dancing Incident', it was well known that Sandy had two left feet; to keep the memory alive, Topspin made it literal the following stellar cycle.
19. grave
When asked what he would like to be put on his marker, Sandstorm replied instantly, "that I was a Wrecker and that I was Flight's".
20. green
Superion ducked, twisted, turned and did generally just about everything he could to keep the precious cargo he carried safe as the gestalt rushed back to base while Sandstorm just concentrated on not purging his tanks – the arm cradling him was his lover after all.
21. head
Stroking the triplechanger's helm as the mech recharged, Flight felt giddy with happiness when the Wrecker nuzzled his open palm.
22. hollow
The empty feeling in his chest, Sandstorm realized, was because when he left the Aerial, he left his Spark with him.
23. honor
Like the other Wreckers, Sandstorm didn't risk his life time and again for honor or glory but so that others, especially the one he loved, wouldn't have to.
24. hope
Searching worriedly for his lover at the burnt out site in one of the jet's favorite forests, the triplechanger found the smaller mech gently brushing the ashes off the tiny green shoots poking out of the seared ground.
25. light
After a seemingly endless trek in a pitch dark tunnel, Fireflight quickly made tracks towards the sudden brightness until - 'Flight, that's a train!"
26. lost
Fireflight didn't get lost when he explored with the Wrecker - there was just so much to see -and do- together that they forgot all about the time.
27. metal
Metals were cold, hard and unyielding but even a being entirely made of such materials could not stand up to the Jet Pout.
28. new
Flight wasn't sure how to feel when he realized Sandstorm's past meant that he was the triplechanger's first -and only– love.
29. old
The Wrecker's musing on how well Fireflight got along with the human sparklings currently climbing all over him despite being several millenia older was cut short when the children, with the Aerial leading the charge, suddenly mobbed the triplechanger.
30. peace
Sandstorm feared peace for it meant an end to his purpose as a warrior and battle was all he had even known, but whenever he was with Flight, he could believe he could walk another path.
31. poison
Of all the things he could possibly have said to assure his frantic lover that the poison had yet to beat him, "don't worry, I hurt too much to be dead," was not one of them.
32. pretty -
Topspin pronounced Sandstorm to have "totally lost it" after the triplechanger replied "because it's pretty" as the reason why he bought something (for Flight).
33. rain
Cybertronians could not cry so Fireflight raised his faceplate to the darkening sky and allowed the heavens to mark his sorrow.
34. regret
He had his regrets, as did they all, but none about loving him.
35. roses -
Flight returned to his quarters after a grueling shift to find that someone had filled it with a thousand roses, red and white - not one thorn among them.
36. secret
Fireflight was grateful that his lover would never push inquiry when he refused to talk – he wanted it to be a surprise!
37. snakes
Plowing through a dense jungle, neither the Aerial nor the Wrecker thought anything of the multitudes of vines that ended up draped on their frames – until the things started to hiss.
38. snow
The first time Sandstorm saw snow, he immediately began to consider how it could affect upcoming fights but got distracted by a snowball nailing him in the faceplate courtesy of a giggling Aerialbot and the urge to repay the jet in kind.
39. solid
The feel of Fireflight's warm solid form in his arms could lull the Wrecker into recharge like nothing else could.
40. spring
Eventually Sandstorm stopped fighting the inevitable; now when the Aerial asked him to jump, his response was to ask 'how high?'
41. stable
The Wrecker had never known anything so steady as Flight's unconditional love.
42. strange
Flight took a klik to take in the bizzare sight in front of him - 'Spin was pulling a 'Hatchet', Broadside, covered in pink silly string, was attempting to grab a cackling 'Twist and Whirl, Springer and RB were loudly discussing logistics over the pandemonium while Sandstorm held a rubber chicken just out of a grasping Scoop's reach - before running into the room, arms held high for a pass.
43. summer
Sandstorm agreed completely with the red jet that summer was a season of beautiful flowers when they viewed a particularly vibrant field – the triple' drew the line however, at making (and wearing) daisy chains.
44. taboo
It was something Flight hated to even think about and so was extremely grateful that no one ever mentioned the –high- possibility of the Wrecker dying within his audio range.
45. ugly
The mechs responsible for the prank that injured the red jet could only hope that the Hatchet would allow Sandstorm to stay with his lover otherwise things were gonna get ugly.
46. war
They strove to delve so deeply into each other, to intertwine so thoroughly that not even the war could truly separate them.
47. water
While Flight strove to capture the sight of the sun's rays dancing on the waves, Sandstorm admired how they played upon the jet's frame.
48. welcome
Hearing an impressive amount of bangs, shouts and screeching from behind the hangar's doors, Sandstorm sorta expected the white hands that yanked him in and the announcement, "it's three-on-three now!"
49. winter
The humans were right, the Wrecker acknowledged as Flight snuggled closer to the triplechanger's side; the way to enjoy a blizzard was to cuddle together under a thick blanket with warm drinks at hand and watch the storm blow outside the window.
50. wood
When they finally managed to find their way out of the forest, Sandstorm cycled air in relief a couple of times before he attempted to shoo away the family of chipmunks that had stowed away in the Aerial's cockpit.
--Notes--
#02 Apples - "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!"
#06 Dark - Based on the fic on by ajremix, "So Long as I have You"
# 10 Duty – It's written in Sandstorm's bio that his weakness is his fragility. His axles can get damaged easily if he gets dirt stuck in them and considering how he loves to stir up dust clouds in either form...
#18 Foot - inspired by a comment of Salalipop on a previous set
#32 Pretty - Inspired by a conversation with Salalipop
# 35 Roses – in flower language:
Red roses - Love ; I love you
White roses – eternal love
Rose (red and white) - Together; unity
--End--
