I'm starting to think listening to sad piano songs nonstop for hours to get inspiration and focus may not have been very healthy for my mental wellbeing.

2024 Whumpuary #1. Snow

Prompt: Snow Fandom: Transformers Characters: Prowl Pairing: Jazz/Prowl

******

The moon they had landed on was covered in ice and snow. It was a good enough pit stop as any—the moon was big enough to have its own atmosphere and received enough sunlight for their solar harvesters. Its low temperature should not bother them too much, as long as they stayed inside the ship.

Prowl escaped outside, leaving the engineers to set up the harvesters around the ship and ignoring their offer for protective field generators. Not the most responsible thing for a commander of what may be the last of the remaining Autobot force to do, but Prowl was done being responsible. Being responsible had done nothing for him in this war except get others killed.

As soon as he left the safety of the ship's force field he was greeted with howling wind. It did not take long for his internal temperatures to start dropping to dangerous levels, but Prowl went on. The icy chill biting into his protoform and the cold stares stabbing on his back were nothing compared to the hollow coldness in his spark.

Cold sparked. That was what everyone called him. Some went further, whispering that he did not have one at all. Some did not even whisper.

Perhaps they were right, because Prowl was not feeling much right now, not even the cold outside. It seemed as if the temperatures on his frame were starting to match with the ones within him. Prowl embraced it--this freezing numbness was better nothingness.

Something caught in his foot and he stumbled. His knees sank into the snow,  soon followed by the rest of his frame. Prowl shuttered his optics as he lay in the snow. At least these were not acidic like the rains in Praxus. His systems beeped an alert on low temperature, insisting that he find shelter immediately or risk stasis.

A hand caressed his doorwings like a breeze.

"What are you doing here, sweatspark?"

Jazz. Prowl did not open his optics. "Waiting for you," he murmured.

A quiet laugh. Ghostly. "You know this ain't the right way to do that."

Prowl wanted to lean in to the touch, but his frame, now frosted over, was too heavy. A warning that he was going to go into stasis if the core temperature did not stabilize at once appeared on his display with a countdown.

"Come on now," Jazz said. "Back to the ship."

He felt himself get pulled up, but Prowl made no effort to move.

"Prowl, don't do this."

"If I open my optics, will you be there?" Prowl asked, watching the countdown tick steadily.

Without looking, he could imagine Jazz cocking his head slightly. "Sure."

Prowl blinked. Bluestreak's worried face came to full view. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were on either side, their expressions hidden under battlemasks as they tried to pull Prowl up out of the thick snow.

Jazz wasn't there.

"Liar," Prowl whispered as the countdown reached zero.

He was only responded by an apologetic laugh in the wind, far more real than the snow itself.

Of course Jazz wouldn't be there, Prowl chided himself as oblivion took over. Jazz was gone.

Because of him.

Just found a forgotten wip in drafts which stopped at a cliffhanger and I've never been more mad at myself.

Finally watched Transformers Rise of the Beasts and

Honestly can't remember much of the story but I really like Mirage.
