Summary
This time it was Tony who stepped closer and took her hand, his warm palm slipping into her clammy one. “Say he can stay. Please. Look, Morgan’s already in love with the kid, and he’s got nowhere else to go. He’s living in some sleazy apartment with barely any food in the fridge, and I don’t think he’s talked to anyone besides us in the past few months who actually gives a damn about his existence. No one else knows him, Pep. He’s all alone.”
She put a hand on Tony’s shoulder. “Looks like I’ll be making dinner for four tonight.”

Peace is despaired (I can die, but I can't break) by golden_bugging

Summary
There was always the surreptitious threat of everything they’d built coming down like an avalanche of trials. In this volatile experiment they called peace, an unweighted touch or word could be the heat to set it all off and burn it to cinders.
An old, ubiquitous part of him said he would do anything to prevent Cybertron from a deplorable end… A covetous but just as present part of him said he would dare risk it, just to get a taste of that forbidden ‘what if’.
~~~
Cybertron is changing once more and Megatron finds that peace comes with its own battles.
And he’s not the only one. -
