Heh - I've only gotten into fanfic since October last year thanks to the wonders of boredom and airport wi-fi.
Beforehand the whole slash thing didn't really make sense to me (and in all honesty still doesn't, even in human based fan universes most of the time) but when it comes to TF I can kind of see it given in my head they don't really have genders as we perceive them. Mind I still have problems wrapping my head around the idea of sexual attraction in a sentient robot species. Love and intimacy yes, bone jumping impulses... not so much.
And the children thing... I've yet to see anyone take the DNA based computer idea Bay threw in at random and take it anywhere interesting to explain new TF creation, and the pregnant robot thing I've seen pop-up is all kinds of brain breaking wrongness.
Anywho - I'm tempted to say that little snippit of dialogue is between Percy and Miles/Dóchas but I'm having problems seeing Percy saying the actual words in his current state :D
Perceptor's willingness to commit whole-scale genocide against another species is kinda unnerving. Also, just gotta say, that part in Naturalized where he skinned the snake kinda made me sick to my stomach.
I wouldn't be complaining that no one else uses your interpretation of bonding. Sometimes being unique is a good thing :p.
Believe it or not I avoid 99% of fics with the Twins in them as well. They make me want to either stab my eyes out or kill it with fire. Or both.
