Heavy stuff. Angst like this can be hard to pull off, but the heavy kind of cynicism you use really works here. Very nice.

YOU MADE ME HURT MYSELF WITH HILARITY

Although it's been a fact that I just didn't know how to get into the story for a long time now ... Judy worked for S7 when she was muchmuch younger. I had a small Judy-drabble I posted without the normal markers for COTS stuff, so it probably went under your radar.

The revelation that she was part of S7 is actually what Sam forced himself to forget. He just assumes that his parents disowned him -- not that he refused to let himself remember something about his Mom that he just can't tolerate. (He was RLY RLY hating S7, as you may remember)

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! i JUST NOW noticed that you posted this today!! oh my GAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok. i'm going to read it. tears of happiness. oh yes.

..................ANGST!!! Oh my. (But yeah, he's kind of Emo)
The thing about Judy having been part of S7 suprised THE HELL OUT OF ME! I have to admit that O_o

But YAY for intermissions ;-)

[meicailya]

I know. I don't remember when or why I wrote it, except that I was trying to get past Sam's cracky parents. I left it sitting around forever to see if I would fix his cheese, but the chances looked slim at best.
But it does explain Sam's whole "OMF~G ANGST!" thing with him forgetting telling his parents what was happening, does it not? :B

It's just something to tide me over until I finish the next chapter. Difficult robots are being difficult and trying to send Sam away so that the Adults Can Discuss It.

[karaq]

Oh yeah it does. And of course it's awesome to be completely surprised once in a while. I just didn't see it coming (cuz I find Sam's parents in the films to be really, really, REALLY odd. I know they add to the humour, but it bothered me a little bit)

Yeah, you mentioned the next chapter 'was killing you'. *hugs and sends good karma*

"...trying to send Sam away so that the Adults Can Discuss It." --> Hope it means what I think it means. I'm REALLY curios and want to see Sam's companions discuss Sam.
Sidesweipe's P.O.V did give us an insight (brilliant, btw) into his thougths, but it'll be interesting to hear others opinions also :-)

Yeah. So I kinda tried to wave their oddness away as 1) a 'spy' assuming a role and finding it a bit ridiculous, and 2) an emotionally disturbed man attempting the same thing and kinda succeeding.

Well, considering that how I have it set up, they could discuss Sam while he was sitting right there and he'd never know the difference ... However, they've got more important things to worry about. Sam's lower in the priority, and since I'm still stuck on the same day since so much is happening in that day ... :<
Although that does remind me of something I intend to have happen in the future :B

Poor Ron. Someone needs to give him a big hug. (Any volunteers?) Or alternatively, as others have said, he should go share a cube of energon with Emo!Prick!Prime.

Alas, all that I could recall about Judy having been a S7 agent was that time we discussed swapping her with Sigourney Weaver in Aliens. You see, it's a good thing you elected to post this here after all; I never would have remembered otherwise.

And by the way, I quite like Jazz's (revamped) Intermission as well--which I only just read, to my deep shame. But of course, how could I fail to like anything having to do with my favorite Autobot? (And now that Prowl's here, I can begin the official bandwagon for Jazz/Prowl in CoTS.)

[meicailya]

Ron kinda would like that. Only he's skerd that the symbols will come get him.

I DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THAT. Props to you! :D All I remembered was that I somehow arrived at the decision that Judy (canonically to CotS) was an Ex-S7 woman.

Nevar ph34r. A mei has a plan!

[porphyrogenitos]

Ah, I only remembered myself because I like bizarre Transformers crossovers almost as much as I do crackfic and I tend to have a rather long memory for both. I'll need to convince someone into writing a Death Note/Transformers fanfic one of these days...

A plan, eh? Why does it simultaneously fill me with excitement, trepidation, and dread whenever I hear that particular phrase? (Perhaps because it reminds me of the opening segue that accompanied every episode of Battlestar Galactica--just like the Cylons, Mei has a plan.) Ah, no matter; so long as Jazz and Prowl are involved in whatever existenntial capacity my inner fan will be more than satisfied. And I do hope our intrepid group of delinquents makes it back to California soon; but then I imagine that most of us are wishing for the same. It's not as if the journey isn't proving interesting in and of itself... ;)
