I hate long and repetitive author notes at the beginning of chapters. Instead, I'm just gonna throw it all right here so its outta the way. Any updates (i.e. warnings) will be listed here, but I will note it in the chapter once I figure it out. This way you don't have to hunt anything down, like time units.
What you actually need to know:
Some chapters will take place in the present, while others will take place in the past. To differentiate between these, the chapters will be marked as follows:
'Present' Chapters: Ch 1, Ch 2, Ch 3, etc
'Past' Chapters: Ch A, Ch B, Ch C, etc
Human-equivalent ages will be listed in 'past' chapters. So you'll see something like "Prowl – '14'." Just means Prowl's whatever age a Cybertronian would be that's equivalent to a 14 year old human.
Other Stuff:
"Blah" – Talking
'Blah' – Thinking
::Blah:: - Comm. talking
Astrosecond – 0.489 seconds
Breem – 8.3 minutes
Joor – Approximately 1 hour
Orn – 1 (Cybertronian) day. Also used to denote Earth days cuz I like to keep things simple
Decaorn – 10 days
Vorn – 83 years
Rating: T (formally 'M.' My beta and I discussed what typically qualifies as 'M' these days in the fandom and decided this isn't it. Whether or not you agree with that is entirely up to you)
Why: Eventual slash, angst, Cybertronian swearing, occasional human swearing, violence, and possible interface. The last one I'm really not sure if it'll happen here or if it'll be a separate thing.
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers, Juniper, or Conex (the real life stuff, not the characters Juniper or Conex).
