(Note: Conjunx endura means “married” sparkmates in Cybertronian)

THIS AU IS WHEN ORION PAX AND D-16 WERENT OPTIMUS PRIME AND MEGATRON RESPECTIVELY! AU IDEA IS NOT MINE (but inspired by a comic made by someone of sparked Orion Pax)!

It was a busy day in Iacon, the miners were busy mining for Energon in the Energon mines since Energon supplies were scarce. Well, after the 13 primes died during the war with the quintessons. They were busy mining and put mined Energon into mine crafts to be sent to Sentinel Prime. D-16 was busy mining but couldn’t help but worry for his conjunx endura. After all, he was sparked with sparklings…so he had a duty to care for him

D-16: mining away with his pickaxe, the sounds of the pickaxe against the ores can be heard

Orion Pax (Orion): eating Energon cubes as he sat on a crate nearby in the mines
