Synopsis

This is a Transformers story with two male leads, and it isn't the especially sweet kind. If that's not your thing, please don't read. The protagonist doesn't look like a Cybertronian, so feel free to picture his appearance however you like.

The protagonist is on the Decepticon side and won't switch allegiances. Set in the Transformers: Prime universe.

My name is Ye Zhu, meaning a candle burning in Cybertron's night. I wasn't born on Cybertron. My spark, or you could say my soul, came from Blue Star... It wasn't a good place. I hated it, and I didn't like Cybertron either. My beauty meant that everyone around me treated me with malice. I loathed their lustful or pitying gazes. I hated everything, except that silver-gray silhouette... Until he, until they appeared, and something seemed to change. The cracks began to show in my arrogant, selfish disguise.

The protagonist is twisted in personality, has a warped worldview, and is absorbed in his own world. Like a thorny, sick rose, he is beautiful on the outside but rotten within, and can only protect himself through a carefully constructed facade. His bad side isn't too obvious at first, and he still has a conscience. The plot will move slowly; I'm planning a long story. Some characters may be out of character. Anything not found in Transformers is my own invention. I mainly started writing this because there isn't enough fanfiction to read. I may incorporate a few details from other Transformers universes, so take this as a warning if that's not your thing.

Out of Books to Read? Come On In

Looking for books like Craving Beauty. I haven’t really gotten into a book in ages. The male lead is practically every woman’s dream, and some of the scenes feel very realistic. He’s not domineering and over-the-top like the guys in other books. It’s definitely worth reading.
