Fuck you and the house you came from. *sobs* trying to explain why you're a blubbering mess at work over a fanfiction is super fucking hard. Fuck. I thought he would at least live. *more sobs* I hate you. Damn it.

I hate and love of what you have done to our poor lil' bee. Sometimes, we have to beat our hero bloody, strip him to the bone, bring him beyond his limits, push him to the edge of the precipice, and when he's teetering desperately to find purchase,hanging on by a wire, then shove him off into a dark spiral of madness. This story was brilliantly dark and wonderfully tragic and I have enjoyed it immensely. You conveyed all the right emotions with heartwrenching intensity, and more than once made me cry. A job well done :) *applauses* Now, if you'll excuse me, I am off to read something sickingly sweet and suffocatingly adorable to lift this dark cloud of depression weighing over me ;)

You know...I'm not an optimist by any means...yet I had somehow believed that Bee was going to make it out of this somehow. I cant arguue with how things went...grief is a horrible monster that does horrifying things. In the end, th ough my heart hurts for the loss of both Sam and Bee, I'm relieved that the poor youngling doest have to suffer anymore. Hopefully the realization of what happeded to Bee helps Ron understand that the mech would have done anything for Sam.
Congratulations on one well written emotional fic.

So sad, but good. I actually cried reading this.

No, not Bumblebee! *sobs* This was so sad and heartwrenching. Still, I'm glad Judy was at least there with him at the end and I loved seeing her lash out at that police officer; I so hate how being drunk seems to excuse just about anything, even in real life.

Very emotional story!

Poor Bee, his spark couldn't live without his Sammie.

Great story, thank you for sharing it with us.

it brought tears to my eyes! regardless of how Judy regarded Bee, deep down she always cared for him. she thought of him like her own. you don't have to be Human to be part of a family that you've sworn to protect.

I loved this story!

This is a very good story, and I cannot wait to see how it will end. However I want to bring attention to the difference between the words brief and debrief. A debrief is an after action report, from a soldier or intelligence officer to a superior officer. In contrast, a briefing is a short, concise summary of a situation. This can be before a mission, during a situation as new members are brought into a team, or after a situation is over and the information is spread to new people.

Other than that (ok, I admit that's a personal pet peeve) and a few typos/homophones, you write wonderfully well. You manage to strike a balance between the sheer misery of Bee and the support for him of everyone else, and even the ones who don't fully understand the situation have reactions that are within character.

*ugly sobbing* Judy's tirade pretty much sums up my feelings. That wasnt how I expected it to end though. I was expecting Bee to somehow get out, go to Sam's grave and then die but this ending fits so much better. Bravo on another great story.

I can't believe this, but I'm making a comment BEFORE I've even read the chapter... I'm seriously terrified to know what happens... Oh man... here goes...

Nononononoooooooo. :( Waaaaaa. I mean, true there was no option but waaaaaaaa. I wish there was a way outa this one... I can see why you said it was a truly hard story to write... it's certainly been a hard story to read. Darn... I was seriously hoping there'd be a way outta this one... Grabbing tissues...

Tissue warning is right. I'm STILL wiping my face! Poor Bee!

;n; you evil evil evil person.. This was just beautiful..

Sad but beautifully written.

Oh Bee, my sweet little Bee is gone... *tears falling, choking back sobs*

I agree with everything Judy said. I couldn't fathom having to bury my child (if I had any children that is, which I don't). Dumbass police chief (*get him Sideswipe*), thinking probation was enough of a punishment for repeat offenders that have no respect for the law. Doubt he'd have felt the same if it was HIS child that was killed because of those drunks.

Wow. Sad ending, but I expected it. Poignant story of the affects of drunk driving.
