An Oleander Goodbye

"I have a feeling that the tale Romeo and Juliet might be something that you'd appeal to," Dinobot muttered, handing the strange novel back to its rightful owner, watching as the letters carved in its leather outings alter, from his servo into their hands.

"Romeo and Juliet, I've heard of it and- unfortunately to your expectations, I didn't like it,"

"What?! But it was an incredible piece of work wasn't it?"

"I never called it an 'un-incredible' piece of work,"

"Then why?" Dinobot asked, clearly still hung up on his bafflement, "why do you not like the tale?"

The demigoddess held the novel in her hands, pressing it close to stare off with a gander, swinging her expression back to face the mech who awaited for a response. Calmly, she replied, "Romeo and Juliet dies in the end of their story do they not? All because of a blood-feud that only worsened to a vendetta," they sighed, lazily sitting down to open up the book in hand, watching the letters come alive until the very end, flipping to the last page, "and the only way that they chose to stay together forever, was to die. An unfortunate demise but to be expected in a tragedy written by Shakespeare,"

A/N -- Just for a heads up, this is an oc x canon story that will have backstory mentioned but in the end, that backstory might not be explained due to *cough* a character dying. If you're also uninterested in a tragic ending then this might not be for you.

Trigger Warning - There will be mentions of torture, violence, major character death (please watch the series if you haven't), and potential spoilers for those who have not seen all of Beast Wars.

A final reminder, this is not a fix-it fic either. The people who die, die and will only come back if mentioned in the show. The oc this story also revolves around is not human either.
