Rating/Warning: PG; slashy references -- very mild. Shameless ganking of Romantic Poetry for Fannish Purposes.
Disclaimer/Author's Note: I do not own Transformers; story takes place on Cybertron roughly 1 million years ago, shortly after "Infancy" and "Childhood" -- probably within about the first one to two hundred years' of Tailgate's creation.
The quoted poem here wasn't actually written by Scansion or me. It's a quote that was provided by beckyh2112 as a prompt for this piece and that I shamelessly filed the serial numbers from and credited to my made-up Cybertronian poet. I blame parallel evolution -- if it was good enough for Gene Roddenberry, it's good enough for me!
In actuality, the lines were originally written in 1821 by
Percy Bysshe Shelley (husband of Mary Shelly, author of "Frankenstein") and is part of a larger work called
"Epipsychidion". The quoted section appears near the bottom of the poem.
This story was written to give Tailgate a lighter moment than he's had up until now, poor little crazy guy.
