[fic][Transformers, Jhiaxus, Thunderwing, PG] Do You Know What it Feels like 0

An exercise in trying to understand Spotlight: Arcee, gender-roles from an outside perspective and the fact that Jhiaxus’s reasoning being ‘just to see if he could’ is wonderfully fucked up. The only thing I really have any problem with in regards to this is how incredibly OLD it means Arcee is. After all, no one knew who Galvatron was in Spotlight: Galvatron, despite his going aboard the original Ark and Ark itself being a near forgotten relic. And since Jhiaxus disappeared with Ark and Arcee was altered by him… I’m still trying to wrap my brain around how exactly she got around all those countless years to only be tracked and captured by Ultra Magnus recently (but if IDW can mess around with times and age, so can I). Some ideas had been borrowed from Dreamwave. By the way, it’s harder to remember to write Arcee as ‘he’ than I thought it would be…

Also it’s become obvious that I can no longer do one-shot long fics. Recently every time I’ve tried, it sprawled into a multi-parter. Curses.

Special thanks to meallanmouse for being my beta and littlecafei for prodding me to finish this.
