At the End of It All

Title: At the End of It All
Characters/Pairing: Megatron/Starscream, Megatron/Mirage, mention of various Autobots
Verse: G1 AU thing I just invented for this fic. Which gives me what, 3 AUs now? And two in which the 'Cons have won. LOLZ I R PREDICTABULL.
Wordcount: 6,100+. Yes, this slagger is long.
Rating: NC-17 for... oh, just read the warnings. Every horrible thing imaginable, really. Some corners of my processor are ugly.
Warnings: Sex of the sparkish variety. Non-con of the sparkish variety (and I don't mean cutesy dub-con either). Character death. Slavery. Violence, trauma, and its aftermath. This is very dark.
Summary: I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that this was originally inspired by Kookaburra's Stockholm series in which the Decepticons win and enslave the Autobots (including a couple of stories that, like this one, focus on Mirage.) My take on it here is a bit different from that fic, though. Both are very dark, don't get me wrong. But I got the idea that I wanted to talk not just about how such a situation would affect an Autobot, but what it would mean to live in a world in which Autobot values and identity are themselves threatened by a society built on their opposite. If you liked my values babbling over at crimson_optics on LJ and can handle very dark fic, you'll probably like this.

And yeah, if you've noticed I seem constitutionally incapable of not being vicious to Autobots... you'd be right. Yikes...
