Welcome to Born This Way, and thanks for taking an interest in it! I'd like to begin by saying that this fic is, as of 6/24/22, undergoing large changes. Therefore, I've only kept the rewritten chapters posted. For those who've revisited, welcome back, and I hope the story has improved. For those of you who are new, let me know your thoughts on what I've got!
Below I have copied the update I posted a few days ago now, detailing the process thus far. Scroll through it if you like, or head right on to the story!

Hey everybody! It's been a while, hasn't it?
I don't know if anyone is still interested in this fic. It would make sense if there wasn't. It's been years since an actual update. I started this fic when I was a measly sophomore in high school, utterly obsessed with the Transformers Bayverse films. Now, I'm heading into my sophomore year of college. Ironic, isn't it? We've lived through a recession, a pandemic, and much more. All in a span of three years.
Crazy, isn't it?
Don't worry, I'm still obsessed with Transformers, just in a different way. I'll always hold a significant amount of love for it. That, I feel, will never change. It was simply too significant to be affected by the ebbing tides of time.
Out of curiosity, I popped onto my account. I missed writing and decided to flip through my old published chapters. To my utter shock, after perusing the site, I found that there were people still viewing the fic, even after all this time.
I was stunned.
To those who have stuck by, after all these years, I most humbly thank you.
To those who haven't, I hope this update finds you, and that the news it shares rekindles some affection for my story. If it doesn't, I don't blame you.
In my last update, I claimed that I was in the process of rewriting my chapters. And to be fair, I was. Though I didn't get far before I stopped altogether.
After viewing my past work, I've rewritten seven chapters in the past four days, dedicating all my spare time to them. I've gotten as far as the end of the first movie. There's more dialogue, more to Alestia's power, more detailed imagery, and definitely more character development.
What can I say? I've grown significantly as a writer over the past four years.
Considering the speed at which I've fallen back into writing, I'm not sure how consistently I'll update the chapters. Please bear with me, as I have no plans for the future as of this moment.
Just know that I've read every single one of your comments, and taken their advice seriously. Hopefully, I can work that advice into these new rewrites so that everyone can enjoy my story.
Once again, a million thanks to everyone here. Have a great day, and feel free to read through the first seven chapters. I'm not sure whether I'll take down the current chapters I have except for the rewrites. I'll definitely have to figure it out.
Anyway, hope to see you all in the comments!
