[fic] Loss

[G1, post-TFTM and long, long ago] Skyfire asks Starscream what happened after Skyfire was lost in the ice, and learns about guilt, and the changes that happen when you are too long returning home, and what happened to those who tried to erase Starscream from history.

...kill 'em and all and wipe their records from existence? Now That is Starscream. *Grins.*

As I said last night, the revenge that strikes me as the most vicious one a person can take is to remove someone else from history and memory.

I have a scientist in my head freaking out and making with the big optics and flailing here. He's freaking out as much for what was done to Starscream, as for how Starscream got even in the end.

He's also massively freaking about everything that was lost. With everything transferred to Darkmount... and with Darkmount destroyed by Unicron, unless everything was finally saved elsewhere again, everything's likely gone. And "Eep!" doesn't quite cover the conniptions he's having over that.

I am curious, however, what Starscream thinks of all this now that he's had a few epiphanies about the crushing of one's dreams, and of being forgotten... or erased.

Curiously... if it weren't for the potential of all that knowledge lost, Perceptor wouldn't think Starscream's actions such a disproportional response... To be cast out of everything one knows, everything one loves, everything one is, and on top of that, have one's nearest and dearest abandoned...

Perceptor isn't sure he would have gone as far as Starscream did, but he's having a harder time than expected to find as much fault as he assumes he should with Starscream's response.

Me? I wibble for Screamer. And I'd like to see a Skyfire perspective on hearing this.
