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.

96. Flyting

Title: Flyting

Rating: K

Continuity: G1?

Characters: Wheeljack, Sideswipe, Ratchet

Disclaimer: Don't own.

Prompt: 3. Flyting: A verbal slanging match: a ritualized form of invective in which insults are exchanged.

It quickly became obvious to anyone who bothered to watch; they did it on purpose.

This fast-paced, rapid slinging of slurs was practiced, vicious, and playful.

It was entertaining to watch, Wheeljack had to admit. It was his usual source of entertainment while he was stuck in the Med Bay after one of his... accidents.

Sideswipe never did learn to mute it. And Ratchet never learned that he would never get the red frontliner to listen. So they did this every time Sideswipe had to be repaired; they would throw insults back and forth, neither ever gaining the upper hand, neither ever really getting offended by what the other said.

And Wheeljack got some entertainment and a break from Ratchet's... loving care. It all worked out in the end, he thought with a smile as he settled back to listen to the next verbal barrage of insults.
