Title: Untitled
Fandom: Transformers
Characters: Tailgate, Elise Presser
Prompt: Ages of Man -- Death/Senility
Word Count: 769 words (approximate)
Rating: G/PG
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.

Author's Note: Elise Presser is the human girl who showed up in B.O.T. I figured, if anybody would grow up to become a sociologist working among Transformers, it'd be her. Story takes place roughly in the year 2000.

Title: Adolescence
Author: Dunmurderin
Character/Pairing: Tailgate/Pipes
Word count: 799 (approximately)
Rating/Warning: PG; slashy references -- very mild. Shameless ganking of Romantic Poetry for Fannish Purposes.
Disclaimer/Author's Note: I do not own Transformers; story takes place on Cybertron roughly 1 million years ago, shortly after "Infancy" and "Childhood" -- probably within about the first one to two hundred years' of Tailgate's creation.

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.

Group/Theme: 7 Ages of Man

( Adolescence )

End-note: It figures, the two gen fics, both come in under 500 words, one under 400 words. The slash fic? Nearly hits 800. Oi.

Since it's about time I got around to posting a fic for the challenge I started... Written for 7 Minibots.
