  Summary

  Hashtag yearns to connect more with Starscream and she can't stand at how the world doesn't want to give him a second chance. She also wishes he wasn't so hostile towards the world.

  Her solution?

  To welcome Starscream into the Malto family as a new uncle and shower him with the love and support he needs, even if he doesn't think he needs it.

  Too bad for Hashtag, things aren't quite that simple.

  Bookmarker's Notes

  Original note was much more coherent and I don’t remember everything I wrote but the gist is
  I A D O R E THIS FIC SO FUCKING MUCHHHHHHH!!
  This story is occupying my entire brain, words cannot express how much I love this to pieces.
  I will never get over this
  This fic pretty much single handedly threw me headfirst back into my obsession with Starscream

  Left on such a cliffhanger nooooo 😭

  I really really hope the author will continue this one day
  27 chapters as of bookmark (ch27 is author note tho) (latest update 6 may 25)
