Speedwriting Prompt Fills

by Exactlywhat

Well... I found the TF Speedwriting Community on LJ, and sorta kinda maybe started writing some. Figured most of these are pretty much one-shots, and it'd kinda be a waste of space to post them all as separate stories. So, here they are. *Note: this will always be marked as complete (even though it isn't), because every fill is its own story, and this isn't one continuous story.

85. Deep Water

A/N: Fill for Prompt 2 is chapter 19 of When Wise Mechs are Banished, which can be found here: s/8807482/19/When-Wise-Mechs-are-Banished

Title: Deep Water

Rating: K

Continuity: G1

Characters: Starscream

Disclaimer: Don't own.

Prompt: 3. In deep water

Sinking, Starscream decided, was much like flying. Water caressed his plating, air bubbles danced around him. His wings twitched, and he could feel the resistance of the water against the flat plating. It was almost like flying in the dense middle layer of a gas giant.

That thought, though, just brought him back to what had landed him in this... position to start with

Skyfire.

Ever since the shuttle had been pulled out of the ice, his performance in the air had been drastically impaired. Or something. That was how Skywarp put it.

But as much as he denied it, as many times as he called the massive, white mech a traitor, he still loved him. He couldn't bring himself to actually shoot. They had come so close to bonding, all that time ago... And now...

Now, the remains of that... the... love... held him back.

And he knew it.

The Seeker groaned and twitched, another burst of bubbles rising from inside his armor.

Frag it. He was, to use a human phrase, in deep water with this problem.
