Well, my last exam is over. All I have to do now is wait around until Tuesday to do my final presentation and then I get to get out of here. I'm considering spending the entire time in bed.

At any rate, I'm trying my hand at this advent fic thing now that I have less to do. I'm going to try to get caught up to everyone else.

Name: Shards of Pain
Fandom: Transformers: Void, which appears to be as good a name as any.
Characters: Rodimus Void, various bits of other people.
Warnings: Very dark themes, psuedosmut.



Rodimus Void slid his fingers into the box of multicolored metal shards, a disturbingly peaceful expression crossing his face as he absorbed the emotions of its previous owner.

Fear betrayal confusion why why Roddy?

“Always knew Arcee was good for something,” he muttered, holding a piece of pink scrap between two fingers. This was one of his earlier pieces, back when the little bauble had been convinced there was still some good in him. She’s gotten rid of that idea fairly quickly. He dropped the shard and lifted a set of dark fingers.

Hate hate kill destroy the twisted thing!

“You’d think Brawl would realize that I’d go after him less if he’d stop being so, mmm, angry.” Void nibbled on the finger for a moment before dropping it back in the box. He shoved his hand into the shards up to his wrist, fingers clenching in ecstasy at the dozens of screams that invaded his mind. Delicious in their agony and fury, every last one of them.

“Old favorites never fail, of course.” He plucked out a piece at random, tasting it with his fingertips.

Pain pain inside me make it stop make it stop please!

“That’ll be the acid.” Void rubbed the shard between his fingers, optics offline. Ah, Scourge, his masterpiece of torment and despair. The tracker was so beaten and broken that he served Void even after he was returned to his own kind. Jetstorm had expressed his doubts over Scourge’s reliability, but Void had no concerns. Scourge was his, forever, and he knew the consequences of disobedience.

Void scooped up the shards, letting the pieces of the tracker fall through his fingers.

Worthless nothing garbage just want to die

No escape nothing nothing but pain

“Oh…” Void rolled his head from side to side. So much anguish, so very very exquisite.

“Nngh. More.” He rolled over groggily and felt about under his berth. His hand came in contact with a sealed container, made of reinforced ceramic instead of metal. Void didn’t believe in sealing away ghosts, but he’d rather not take any risk that this spark might find its way back to him.

“There you are,” the Herald of Unicron purred, slowly opening the container and removing his greatest trophy. He ran his thumb along the curved horns, across the crushed optic sensors and down to the pale lips, still twisted in a snarl.

Rage madness maim destroy kill!

“Oh, yeah…” Void arched up and moaned, clutching the severed head to his chest. No other piece in his collection had this level of emotion inside it. There was even the tiniest bit of fear mingled with the bloodlust, and that made it all the sweeter.

“Yeah. Slag.” The emotions rushed through him, taking him back to that beautiful moment in time and filling him with pleasure.

Destroy destroy rip you apart you cannot defeat me!

And Void added his cries of ecstasy to Galvatron’s final scream.

Oh, that's delightfully twisted and dark. The Voidverse is so very good at being fucked up and evil, especially the Unicronians.

*coos over Roddy Void*

That's why I like playing around in it. It keeps the fucked up and evilness from getting into the regular 'verses.

That's why I invented it in the first place. *grins* Otherwise there'd be some very high body-counts in some of my fiction.

For some reason, I'm a wimp about body counts even in Voidverse. I can say "okay, three-quarters of Asia is wiped out", but all the main characters can only get severely injured and traumatized. Even ret-conned it so one of the Sweeps didn't die.

If the death is called for or just adds to the darkness, I'll do it. This is why Voidverse!Motormaster is slated to die sometime in the future1.

1. The future as defined by "whatever would have come after the point where Void and them hit the Nexus, in their own timeline".

Actually, scratch that: I killed off Kup and a few other people too, off screen.

...if Motormaster dies, there's still no Prime. What the heck is everyone else going to do?

Follow Ultra Magnus and Cyclonus?

Me, I'd be worried about what Jetstorm is going to do.

From: [identity profile] seiberwing.livejournal.com
In my version, they're doing that anyway. And who knocks him off?

Date: 2006-12-09 12:11 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] beckyh2112.livejournal.com
Yeah, Motormaster's not so much a leader as the guy carrying something important around. And being very unhappy, and thus even more of a bastard than usual.

I am not sure if it's Jetstorm himself or Cyclonus.

Date: 2006-12-09 12:14 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] seiberwing.livejournal.com
Wait, why would Cyclonus kill him?

Date: 2006-12-09 12:18 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] beckyh2112.livejournal.com
I'm not entirely sure. That's just the way my mind went.

So what happens to your Scourge, then?

From: [identity profile] beckyh2112.livejournal.com
Voidverse? I tend to go with what you did with him, though I've not written anything that would be future of the time where we split off for the Nexus-visit.

From: [identity profile] seiberwing.livejournal.com
That works, then.

I think you tend to focus on Jetstorm and the Stuntic(r)ons, while I do more with Void and the Unicronians. S'interesting.

From: [identity profile] beckyh2112.livejournal.com
I like your take on the Unicronians and Void, but I rarely know the twists and fates you have planned for them. So I focus on my characters.

Heh. Like we're writing fanfic for a fan-made universe, almost.

Date: 2006-12-09 01:12 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] beckyh2112.livejournal.com
More of a shared universe project between the two of us. *grins*

True that.

Nnnnnyurgh. Skincrawley!

Really? Sweet.

You're so evil. But then, I like evil. ;)

“Yeah. Slag.”

Heh! Is it bad that I got confused for a moment and wondered why the head of Slag (as in, the Dinobot) was the most significant one to him?

I have no idea what the backstory is, here, but if I understand at all what's going on, then this is wonderfully disturbing and Rodimus Void creeps me out.

Summary: Matrix got corrupted during the movie, Roddy is now Rodimus Void, Galvatron is dead and Scourge is his bitch.

Ah. That's kind of neat (in a "wow, the universe is completely screwed" kind of way).

It rather is.
