Summary
Dawning was a gladiator turned Decepticon general. Soft-spoken, deadly, and fiercely loyal. But loyalty has a cost. Over the course of their war, he begins to question the cause he helped defend. When a retreat to save civilians nearly brands him a traitor, Dawning takes the first true steps towards defection. Towards Ratchet, the Autobot medic who becomes his unlikely anchor.
As lines blur and battles rage, quiet moments grow louder. A shared glance across the battlefield. A message passed under the guise of truce protocols. And eventually, a choice that could either change the war or end them both.
This is a story about redemption carved through metal and silence. About what it means to choose peace over glory. About building something new in the wreckage, together.
