Summary: Tailgate and Elise Presser talk about death and moving on.
Author's Notes: The Keith Richards incident was something originally reported in the magazine NME, I first heard of it over at Fandom_Lounge. Apparently, Keith Richards has come forward and said that he meant it as a joke and he was really surprised people actually took him seriously. Figure this story takes place before Elise finds out it's fake. Or in this world, he really did snort his father. This completes my 7_Minibots Challenge! WHOOT! Takes place before Angsty Pipes.

Rating/Warning: PG; slashy references -- very mild. Shameless ganking of Romantic Poetry for Fannish Purposes.

The quoted poem here wasn't actually written by Scansion or me. It's a quote that was provided by beckyh2112 as a prompt for this piece and that I shamelessly filed the serial numbers from and credited to my made-up Cybertronian poet. I blame parallel evolution -- if it was good enough for Gene Roddenberry, it's good enough for me!

In actuality, the lines were originally written in 1821 by Percy Bysshe Shelley (husband of Mary Shelly, author of "Frankenstein") and is part of a larger work called "Epipsychidion". The quoted section appears near the bottom of the poem.

This story was written to give Tailgate a lighter moment than he's had up until now, poor little crazy guy.
