A brute. A weapon. Something to be hurt but not mended.
That's all Ironhide's ever been. And it's all he thought he wanted to be-all he thought he needed to be-until she stood in front of him and didn't cmmmmower.
Eleanor Cambridge was supposed to die with her brother.
But death clawed its way into her and left her alive. Now, she's haunted by the guilt, the hollowness, the rage of being treated like porcelain-something fragile, something already shattered.
When she meets Ron, she hates him on sight. He's another military subordinate. Another reminder of what hurt her and left her behind.
He sees a stubborn femme with the heart of a warrior and eyes like the purest core on Cybertron. Fire lives behind her rage, and she greets death like she's already kissed it once and spit it back out.
But somewhere in the wreckage of their malice, something begins to ignite.
She makes him feel powerless.
He makes her feel like she could burn the grief out of her system and still survive it.
(But what will they do when it's not just grief they have to fight?)
