Desire || TFP Optimus x Female reader (mini-series)

(A TFP Optimus Prime x Reader insert)

Optimus sat quietly to himself in his desolate room, saddened by the constant turn of his past memories still actively haunting his mind. One thing stood fresh in his mind, though. Desire.

Desire to end the war. Desire to offline that malevolent tyrant for what he did to his family. Desire for his homeworld. Desire for peace. But he had one bigger desire of them all, no matter how he looked at it. His mind, body, and soul craved this more than anything.

He desired love again. To see his sparkmate blossom beside him, to watch his young family grow. But his hope for that was shattered a long time ago as his once best friend took everything from him in jealousy, making sure that no one could have a happily ever after. Not when Megatron was reigning the whips of a stallion.

But maybe, after all those years, it might not be just painful memories with the sight of a certain sapphire sphere floating through the optics of a prime.

The orb, containing the key to unlocking one's deepest desire, has found its way to the chosen.

Optimus was worthy of a second chance, as the thought of truly seeing his family again blurred his thoughts all together. Reaching out and accepting his fate, Optimus would soon wake up back in his past...but there was always a consequence for messing up your reality.

"I am...human?"

No more metal, no more Autobots, just skin 'n bones and his loving, breathing wife and child, now both human as well, as everything else in this alternate reality. Now he must make a decision: either return to everything he's ever known alone, or stay in this similar reality mirroring his own, where his family and friends can live happily without the threat of the war.

Optimus was always known to be selfless, but maybe it was time to do something for himself for once. He deserves happiness, too. But to leave his true world and his Autobots, his "other" family in a war...

Would it be worth it?
