“Wheeljack, no,” Ratchet said, standing firm.

“They need to be raised by a pair,” the engineer pointed out. “You and Ironhide are--”

“Not taking them,” Ratchet insisted. He turned away from Wheeljack to continue cleaning up for the next shift.

“You’re the only one on the team with a mate,” Wheeljack told his friend. “And you were the one who said it would be best for them to have two parental figures.”

“Had I know that I was apparently volunteering Ironhide and myself, I would have kept silent.”

“Wheeljack frowned. “Ratchet, I know you want to

A Study of Twins: Ch. ThreeChapter Three

As the orns passed and the twins became more comfortable with their home and the surrounding area, Ratchet and Ironhide began taking them out of the unit and into the neighborhood more. Sideswipe was a little more attentive while on the excursions that Jazz, in a neighborly jest, had dubbed “family outings” than his brother. Sunstreaker was often too busy figuring out his surroundings through other means, putting things in his mouth whenever he got the chance.

“Sunstreaker, get that outta your mouth,” Ironhide said, reaching down and pulling the item in question out of the youngling’s mouth.

A Study of Twins: Ch. OneChapter One

Ratchet was woken from recharge by the sound of crying sparklings echoing through the unit. He groaned and nuzzled against Ironhide lightly. He felt the larger mech put his arms around his waist as the crying continued. It took both of them several breems to realize that the crying came from the sparklings that they’d settled into the room just across from their own. Ratchet on-lined his optics and pushed himself away from Ironhide, getting off the berth and sleepily heading into the other room.

Sideswipe was crying at the highest pitch his vocalizer could manage and Sunstreaker’s cries were just as loud, if not louder

A Study of Twins: Ch. FiveChapter Five

The watch-center began seeing more and more of Sunstreaker and Sideswipe as Ratchet returned to the medical field. Prowl and Jazz were concerned with preparing their living unit for their own sparkling and creating a frame for the developing spark, so Ratchet and Ironhide felt it rude to ask the pair of black and white mechs to watch the twins while they were at work. The arrangements were made with the caretaker at the watch-center so that the twins could be brought in frequently. And so it was thus that life for the newly-formed family went on.

A deca-cycle passed and the younglings at the watch-center became used to Sunstrea

A Study of Twins: Ch. TwoChapter Two

One thing that Ironhide had discovered in the time since Ratchet had first brought them home was that the twins loved bath time. While Sunstreaker was content to splash around where Ironhide had set him, Sideswipe was a little more energetic when it came to the bath. In fact, at the sight of the water, the red sparkling made a squeal of delight and had to be rescued from diving head first into the bath tub. Thankfully, bathing the twins was a two-mech job and Ratchet managed to keep Sideswipe from drowning himself in the tub.

“Crazy little glitch,” Ratchet murmured. He held onto Sideswipe with one arm and used the othe

A Study of Twins: Ch. FourChapter Four

As the deca-cycles passed, the twins were brought back to the Science Institute for regular check-ins. During these check-ins, Perceptor would lead the team in tests to make sure Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were developing well, checking their ability to understand and adapt to their surroundings, their behavior and interactions with other mechs. It was during one of these check-ins that the red and blue scientist suggested that the twins be given the chance to interact more with other younglings; it would not do if Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were to develop anti-social behavior with Cybertronians their own age. The entire study wo

A Study of Twins: Ch. SixChapter Six

Sometime after they’d gotten home from welcoming Bluestreak to the world, Ratchet and Ironhide went about their usual schedule of getting the twins refueled and ready for recharge. Once that was done, the two of them retired to the main room of their living unit, where they sat down to relax. It’d been a long solar-cycle and it did Ratchet a world of good to just sit back with Ironhide.

Ironhide had switched on the vid-screen to a low volume. Neither he nor Ratchet paid much attention to the report feeds that were played at the end of the solar-cycle, but the sounds made for good background noise while they relaxed. Ra

Transformers: The Banned List"This has gone too far," Prowl said. He looked up from the report of the twins' latest tirade to glance at the Autobot leader.

Optimus Prime had to agree with his second-in-command. After having only arrived on Earth a mere two Earth-weeks ago, the infamous troublemakers, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, had already terrorized half of the Autobots that had arrived to Earth before them, making what they called 'good use' of the resources the humans provided. Out of fifteen Autobots now on Earth, only a handful had escaped the twins' pranks . . . so far.

Optimus brought a fresh datapad over to his desk and went to work entering data into it. "I nev

A Study of Twins: Ch. SevenChapter Seven

"Are these the twins then?" the technician asked as Ratchet and Perceptor approached with the twins in their arms.

Sideswipe, from his position in Perceptor's arms, took one glance at the large purple mech that had spoken and hid his face in Perceptor's shoulder with a soft whimper. While he knew by this point in his life that there were all sorts of mechs, he'd never seen a mech quite like the technician. The purple mech was tall and bulky with a hexagonal head and a single, round yellow optic in the middle of an otherwise featureless face. He only had one hand; the other looked like a nozzle, but Sideswipe wasn't quite sure

Life in the living unit was getting rougher. Not in the sense that it was getting harder to get by, but more in the sense that...

"SIDESWIPE!" Ratchet exclaimed. "PUT THAT DOWN!"

...The twins were at a stage in their lives where 'no' meant 'yes' and 'if you drop that' was a challenge to be taken. Ratchet and Ironhide had both been pushed to their limits while dealing with the rowdy twins time after time and it was by some Primus-blessed miracle that they hadn't lost their tempers. Ratchet knew that this was something that they'd have to get through and secretly, he was extraordinarily relieved whenever he could pawn the

Mirage let out small yelp and whirled around to face the latest perpetrator in a long string of pinchings. Being in a crowed room was not any help in finding out exactly who it was, so he just growled irritably and left the recreation room of the Ark. He was getting fed up with all the other mechs who seemed intent on pinching some part of his body. It’d started with Jazz, followed by each of the twins, Blaster, Bumblebee, and Bluestreak. Almost every mech he’d run into had managed to sneak in a pinch, wide grins on their faces. Even Optimus Prime had reached over for a quick pinch.

I found these caduceus charms at one of the local bead shops and absolutely needed to make a pair of earrings from them. I loved how they came out, so I thought I'd share.
