Of course, Ratchet is a bear.

I love this story. I really, really do. I hope you continue it at some point!

Oh my...please tell me this wasnt discontinued-this is awesome! The characterisations and transformations and worldbuilding and everything are incredible! I love this! :D

SO. FUCKING. CUTE! X'D

poor jazz. lashed out it his sleep and everyone's against him. prowl didn't need to threaten jazz on the whole (if you ever become a danger to my child, i'll destroy you) thing. he derves more than that. shrugs don't let the kid sleep with you if you have night terrors, geez.

Each time I reread this story, I love it more. The AU world you have built here is so solid and comprehensive... and each time you post a new chapter we get just a little bit more information about it that makes me, at least, go back and reread the previous chapters and say "Ahh, so *that's* what that meant!"

The animals each of your characters transforms into are *brilliant*. As in, I hit the mention of Ratchet being a Kodiak bear, and I cannot imagine him as any other animal ever again! And in this chapter, I find myself sniggering over Wheeljack being a raccoon. It's perfect. I keep wondering what animals other Autobots transform into...

Courtship feels very much like the darkest of the chapters you've written thus far, dealing as it does with a long-term problem on the part of one of our heroes, and the subsequent chill in their relationship, but hopefully Jazz's sleep issues are at least manageable now. Prowl's shock at Jazz being collarless was beautifully written, as was the raptor lady assuming Stormy was Jazz's daughter (and his subsequent realization that courting Prowl may well lead to Jazz *becoming* her other father), and their making up was sweet to read. (And, I confess, Jazz accusing Prowl of being a creeper made me laugh!)

I eagerly look forward to future chapters, though I have to confess to a small lingering fear... you describe this as a pre-war AU. Does that imply that the war will eventually come? Because if it does, somehow I'm not expecting Stormhunter to survive the fall of Praxus.

A very nice chapter. I liked the conflict in this and how they both worked it out. I love how you didn't have them just kiss and make up right away, that it took time to work through the problem. Even when they both apologized, they were still a little wary around each other. I felt that was a realistic look on relationships.

It was also refreshing to see that Jazz has troubles he deals with as well. You have mentioned them in previous chapters, but to see it be more of the center in this one was a nice change of pace. What Jazz deals with would really eat at someone over time, especially a personality like Jazz. And then to have him turn on poor Stormhunter unknowingly.

The only thing that I would argue a point on in this chapter is the title. In my opinion, this chapter had very little to do with actual courtship. It was given to us in the beginning, and hints thrown throughout. But to me, this felt far more like Jazz and Prowl learning to deal with a major conflict rather then them courting each other. Granted, that can be an aspect of courting, but it did not feel like the focus of this piece. When Prowl asked Jazz at the end if the little things he had done were courting gifts, I was of the same mindset; "Really? They were?" I thought of it more as Jazz trying to make up with Prowl.

That is not to say this is a bad chapter. I just believe it is mistitled considering the subject matter. Something involving courtship I would expect to maybe be a little more fluffy, or even having awkward moments abounding if not fluffy.

I like the way you develop these personalities. You're not rushing into things and each chapter builds on the others to show the change in Jazz and Prowl's relationship. Also, some very nice world building with coming up with animal forms for everyone. Wheeljack is SO a raccoon to me now that you said it!

Hope to see more of these as you're inspired! Good luck!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Another chapie! And it was loooong *is so happy*

This was awesome, and so serious at the same time. Poor Jazz, having so many night terrors T.T

... They went to Wheeljack? Oh dear... I hope Jazz doesn't explode in the middle of the night XD

i can't wait to see more! And I'm scared of how Prowl's family will react, will they see him unfit to raise Stormy? *is worried* Would love to see more of Jazz's family, they were fun XD

As always, loved this, can't wat for more!

The detail you work into this is amazing. And you manage to convey emotions so well without overdoing it or making it obvious. Even though the extended tension between Prowl and Jazz was angsty, it was so realistic regarding the ups and downs of a real relationships (rather than a sexed up romance).

Loved Ratchet and Wheeljack. They were just perfect. Of COURSE Ratchet is a bear, and the wrenches and pliers were a lovely nod.

I LOVED Jazz singing Stormy to sleep. Loved SO much. And the end, when Prowl says "Aren't you coming to bed?" gave me such a happy grin.

I am so happy you updated! Yes! It was so worth the wait! The chapter was brilliant. I enjoyed reading it so much! I'm also glad Jazz finally admitted he had a "serious" problem with his nightmares. I was holding my breath when Prowl was holding down Jazz, restraining him. And then comforting him! I reread that at least three times! Loved it :)

Their interaction with Stormy are very adorable ( I awwed when Jazz thought her how to tie her shoes :D )

I really, REALLY like how you display Prowls personality – you capture him perfectly, not emotionless and not overly showing his emotions as well. And the make out session at the end was hjgjhggfhgdhdg...NEED MORE!

I'm so happy this chapter turned out so long! I kept glancing at how much it's left to read and I was like "no, no ,I'm getting to the end to quickly!"

I CAN'T wait for a new update. This whole verse you've created has captivated me, truly it's very original!

Eagerly waiting for more, your loyal fan

Makes me want to squeeeeeeeeeee in joy!

I just want to say how much I love this whole story. I re-read it every few weeks, just to remind me of how awesome it is.

Not obvious at all, just clear, concise, and perfectly charming in this fic.
