   Summary

   At first, Ratchet viewed Wheeljack as a dangerous, egotistical bot. But after a terrible accident does he realize: they aren't so different after all. Ratchet takes his epiphany and uses it to resolve the ties with his past, using Wheeljack as his muse, which creates a bond neither of them expected.

   PART 1: ENEMIES
   PART 2: LOVERS

   I will be releasing part 2 in sections because it is taking longer than expected.
