Hmmm... Thaat was great.

Sam needed that kick in the ass, even though it was not a hard one. He does have every right to be angry, but he needs a better target than his friends. And honestly, I am not sure who to be more sorry for, Sam who needed any unquestioning kindness he could get, or Bee because he will take any way to get closer to Sam even though he knows it's not a good idea.

Hehe, I love angst, but it is time for Sam to get his head checked. He needs a good slap. But then, so do all the other Bot's for even bringing that up! I like the dynamic of how they ignore Sam's opinions and wishes because they think of him as a kid.

Can't wait to see more!

SAM! Stop being stupid and just be nice for those who have safed you and taken care of you!...

Thanks for this chapter! Alot! .o/

DAMMIT! *grins* I was like GLEE!Inappropriateshmex! but awww, nobody knows.. :D

VERY VERY awesome chapter, especially the bit with Ratchet.

And wow, it's interesting to see bots use guilt an a tool of manipulation the same way humans do!

Poor Sam.

And BAD BEE! Darnit, don't you know anything about post traumatic stress? Well, ok, he probably did know that was why Sam was reaching out. He just allowed himself to ignore it in favour of finally gettign what he'd been longing for. I wonder if he'll wake up regretting it or guilty or just boyant at what he assumes is a new relationship?

AWESOME ON TOAST.

"You know that you're always welcome here," Bee returned in a gentle tone. "With me." He trailed his finger down one arm as he leaned in to rest his head on Sam's shoulder.

Woah.. somehow that head-on-shoulder thing abruptly changed this from creepy to sexual predator-ish.. especially considering the size differences between then. MAN I want someone to catch that.. or Sam to freak out about it..

Any chapters coming out soon?

O, lovely chapter again. I can always feel what Sam is going through, you convey it so well. Especially that awkwardness at finding Mirage in Ratchet's berth.

I really enjoyed this, its got some very interesting characterization going on. Looking forward to seeing how everyone deals with the aftermath of this chapter. Thank you!

Great chapter!

Ok, I don't know that much about how bots work, but I find it odd and interesting how the bots want Sam to talk about his issues even though there's no way they can subjectively reach him. The bots can switch off their emotional sensors or erase parts of their memories that are detrimental to their function, if they wanted to (I think), but Sam, still maintaining a good part of his humanity, cannot. So in a way I can sympathize with Sam's frustration and anger, but on the other hand the bots are trying to do their best to reach out to him in a way that they've never had to do prior to Earth. Or maybe I'm over-analyzing.

tl;dr. love this story, love Soundwave 3

Wow. I feel kinda bad for everyone here. The 'bot's only want to help, but Sam feels betrayed by them. Not that I can blame him! I hardly know what I'd do in his stead. Probably just try to ignore it all completely, pretend it never happened, but I guess they won't allow him that.

How come Sam can't seem to understand that no matter how much he reacted, he never told them anything?

God, i love this story so freaking much!

I am absolutely in awe at this story. Such an amazing idea and so well done. I nearly cry at every chapter, I feel so bad for Sam and what has been done to him. But the story is beyond wonderful. Thank you for all the reading pleasure.
