sakon76I want to write fanfiction. (Probably not going to happen. My concentration is SHOT these days.) I can't find a way to fit the Bumblebee movie satisfactorily into Bayverse, and thus Simulacra'verse, shy of Bumblebee sidling up to Lennox and suggesting "I know this mechanic you should hire..." But where it would go from there, I have no idea.
What I do have an idea for is that after the events of Bumblebee, every so often Charlie gets a phone call. There's no one on the other end of the line. But there's a buzzing like a little bumblebee. And maybe a snippet of song. Maybe Lionel Ritchie? "I just called / to say / I love you...." And she knows who it is. So Charlie talks. She tells Bee what's going on in her life. It's a one-sided conversation. And it goes on for years. It only happens when he thinks he's safe. When he thinks he won't be traced, or can get out of Dodge fast, because who knows if Sector 7 is still monitoring Charlie. But it's enough for both of them. Because it has to be enough.
Until one day the Autobots finally have a base, and a treaty, and he can openly be friends with her again without endangering her from her own people.
(The Decepticons, of course, are another story. But then they always are.)
So there's a little headcanon for a fanfiction I'll probably never get to write, but y'all feel free to enjoy it and make it your own as well if you want.
