Inevitable (Megatron x FEM/OC)

Chapter 49 - Infinity

Haha... Heyyy everyone... OKAY LOOK! I AM SO SORRY FOR GOING MIA FOR SO LONG! I DIDN'T MEAN IT, I SWEAR! I still very much love both Lauren and Megs- I haven't abandoned them and don't plan to! I could never do that to y'all.

First things first; how are all of you?! It feels like it's been ages... I want everyone to know I've re-read all your amazing comments a trillion times over while I've been away, I have and never will ignore any of you and your precious commentary. <3

As for my life, al lot has happened! Where do I even start?

I got engaged! AHHHHHHH! I've been working my ASS off lately omg. I got suspended from work for something I didn't even do, but it's okay because the issue was rectified. I'll be flying back to Florida (thank God) to visit my family in July, so that's exciting! Oh, and then my computer- my almost brand new 3k computer, decided to up and die on me, so I haven't been able to properly edit or write. Been busy with the Army recruiters, too! Lots of small trivial things, blah, blah, blah.

I may or may not have also fell down the rabbit hole of the Predator franchise... It's bad y'all... I've already started brainstorming fic ideas for a Yautja x female/oc... Would any of you find that interesting? I got a reaaalllll thing for aliens, I swear!

This also happens to be the longest chapter I've ever written; just over 19k words!

Enough of that, though. Please enjoy!

Megatron often found himself revisiting his memories of times long past, frequenting his home lost to carnage and gazing upon captured images of her smile, zooming in till all that clouded his vision was her alone. Focused himself solely upon her to snuff out the call of war. Many times, he played back recordings of her voice, her lingering laugh, and the melodic trill of her singing coupled with the methodical echoes of ivory keys.

More times than not, he was clipping together their shared moments and reminiscing silently upon the few, rare memories when it'd just been him observing, times where she hadn't been burdened by expectations and could simply just exist.

Untainted by the knowledge of his attention, pure and in all her glorified rawness; completely and unapologetically true.

Something about that felt taboo in a way. Like, gazing upon a creature only heard of in myth and not being able to tell anyone as they'd never believe in such a fantastical being and yet, she existed.

Unbound by imposing, primitive societal norms, manners, and hampering rules. Wild, free, completely and utterly in her own nature. Those memories were most cherished all because he had the privilege to capture her in her entirety. Often, if he revisited the moments of her tireless work, he could near swear that he could faintly hear the echo of a piano key with each unconscious twitch of her fingers as though the very virtuose bled from her in reckless abundance, unable to be properly contained in such a small being.

The mere combination of her smile and sapphire eyes served to be both haunting and enchanting, for he knew once she was long gone her face would haunt his every waking moment, but for now, he allowed himself to be enchanted by her alien beauty.
