This is the premise of something im drafting.
In the newly unified Cybertron, tensions are slowly easing between former enemies. Peace is fragile but progressing—until an anonymous screenplay is leaked, and surfaces across every data feed, library terminal, and entertainment outlet. Its content? A steamy, dramatic romance depicting none other than Optimus Prime and Megatron as star-crossed lovers.
Lol I was cackling at this, @tldaydreamer, mentioned about writing fanfictions in screenplay format. Although this isn't technically what they mentioned it inspired this post.
These events occur a few months after Amorvëael's conception. A moment to the past before their mischievous sparkling was born. With a short slightly spicy scene in the draft.
---
“I’m telling you right now, Optimus—if you paint that wall beige, I will riot.”
“It’s champagne gold,” Optimus said diplomatically, holding up the swatch. “It’s calming. Neutral. Sophisticated.”
Megatron sneered at it. “It’s boring. Our child will exit as a protoform and assume he’s been sentenced to an eternal tax office.”
Optimus looked faintly offended. “Color psychology studies suggest softer tones promote—”
“I led a rebellion, Optimus,” Megatron snapped, yanking open a box of vivid paint samples. “I’m not raising a sparkling in a nursery that looks like the inside of Ultra Magnus’ dream filing cabinet.”
Optimus opened his mouth to retort—only to pause.
Because Megatron had stopped mid-rant.
“…Megatron?” he asked warily.
The warlord stood still for a second. His optics flickered. His vents hitched.
Then he whined.
Optimus immediately tensed. “Are you alright? Is something—?”
“I need it,” Megatron said lowly, voice rough.
“…Need what?”
“You know what,” Megatron muttered, optics glowing.
His hands reached out, slow and twitchy. One went to Optimus’ waist. The other pawed at the edge of his armor plating.
Optimus blinked. “Megatron, we were discussing paint.”
Megatron leaned in and growled, deep and rumbling. “I’ll paint the walls with whatever you want, just spike me first.”
Optimus short-circuited.
“…Are you serious—?”
“I can smell you,” Megatron hissed, dragging his claws lightly over Optimus’ armor, sparking tingles down his spinal strut. “You smell good.”
Optimus took one step back. Megatron followed.
“You said you didn’t want to frag while we were working,” Optimus said, holding a swatch up like a useless shield.
“That was before I started leaking just from arguing with you.” Megatron’s voice was a low growl now. “You’re here. I’m empty. My valve is pulsing. Do the math.”
Optimus flushed. “I am trying to focus on the nursery.”
“And I’m trying not to drag you onto the paint tarp and ride your spike until I’m too full to move.”
Optimus dropped the swatch.
Megatron pounced.
The two of them slammed into the far wall of the half-decorated nursery, knocking over a box of plush sparkling safe toys. A soft rattle hit Optimus in the helm and bounced away unnoticed.
He rolled his hips forward, valve already dripping and hot, grinding against Optimus’ spike housing with desperate need. “Get it out,” he snarled. “I need it—need to feel full—”
Optimus groaned as his panels snapped open.
“You’re insatiable,” he muttered.
“I’m carrying.” Megatron’s hands clenched his shoulders. “You did this. Fix it.”
Optimus didn’t need to be told twice.
Within seconds, he had Megatron pinned against the wall, spike sliding into that drenched, needy valve with a sharp, wet thrust.
Megatron moaned, head thrown back, optics fluttering. His valve calipers clenched around Optimus' spike, greedily, shuddering like it knew exactly what it wanted—and wanted every drop.
Optimus’ grip tightened on Megatron’s hips. “Is this how you win arguments now?” he hissed through his vents.
Megatron wrapped a leg around his waist and growled, “If it gets me filled, I’ll argue about every miniscule detail in this room.”
The nursery wall creaked behind them. Plush toys were scattered across the floor.
The champagne gold swatch was crumpled under Megatron’s foot.
No one cared.

Optimus stood at the door of the freshly painted nursery, arms crossed over his chassis as he admired their compromise.
It wasn’t perfect—but then, nothing ever was when it came to Megatron and his demands. Yet, as he gazed at the soft blue walls with the serene, subtle cloud designs, Optimus felt something like peace settle into his spark.
“Light blue, huh?” Megatron said, lounging on the floor in front of him, looking thoroughly sated. His optics flickered lazily as he traced idle circles on Optimus’ leg, the warlord's venting quiet but content.
Optimus smiles warmly. “Do you want me to finish the rest?”
Megatron’s mouth curled upward in a smirk. “I’ve been through enough wall colors today. Now, I’m enjoying the rewards of your compromise.” He yawned dramatically, stretching out like a contented predator in the sun. “You can finish the small paintings while I relax.”
Optimus shook his helm but gave in anyway, as he always did.
The walls were light blue, yes, but what made this room different were the tiny paintings Optimus had agreed to add as a compromise to Megatron’s “epic battle scenes” suggestion.
At the far side of the room, soft clouds swirled across the wall, with delicate constellations of tiny stars. But on the wall opposite, Optimus had painted a collage of himself and Megatron—not quite as dramatic as the "Bladewrath" suggestion, but still enough to make the warlord’s optics gleam with satisfaction. It was peaceful. And, of course, a tiny sparkling in the middle, holding both mechs hands, between them.
Megatron’s optics softened as he stared at the delicate details. He’d never admit it aloud, but there was a spark of something warm blooming inside him as he took in the image.
“Well,” Megatron said, his voice low and teasing as he slid into Optimus’ lap. “It’s... acceptable.”
Optimus chuckled softly, resting his hands around Megatron’s waist. “I’ll take ‘acceptable’ as a win. Especially after everything we’ve been through today.”
“Mm.” Megatron leaned back against Optimus’ chest, his servo rubbing the warmth of his abdomen, which now held their sparkling. “Just don’t ask me to paint anything. I’m done with decorating.”
Optimus smiled, his frame enveloping Megatron’s. “You know,” Optimus said, brushing his lips against the nape of Megatron’s neck, “I think we make a pretty good team when we compromise.”
Megatron’s optics glinted with quiet affection, but he didn’t look up. “Sure. But next time,” he said, voice filled with lazy mischief, “let’s just get a huge statue of me and call it ‘done.’”
Optimus laughed softly. “I’ll keep that in mind. But first…” He rubbed a hand along Megatron’s lower back, smirking. “How about a celebratory energon shake? You look like you could use something cold.”
Megatron shuddered slightly at the thought, his morning sickness protesting, but relaxed further into Optimus’ arms. “I think I’ll pass. But don’t let that stop you from finishing your other tasks. You’ve still got one more mural left.”
Optimus sighed dramatically, his optics softening. “Fine. One more mural. And then I’m taking you to bed. No more interruptions. That is a compromise.”
Megatron smirked knowingly, rubbing against Optimus with a satisfied hum. “That’s the only kind of ‘compromise’ I need right now.”
As the two settled into the warmth of the freshly painted nursery, with soft blue walls surrounding them, they were content in their love.
NOTE: This will be made into a full work.
This is a potential idea. The short portion below would probably be somewhere near the ending of this story after a lot of ✨ feelings, drama, and pining✨.
----
During yet another painfully familiar attempt at a peace treaty—one of countless efforts that had all ended in spectacular failure—Optimus Prime finds himself exhausted. Worn down not just by war, but by the endless cycle of hope and disappointment. Still, he persists. He has to. For Cybertron.
But when words fail once again, and negotiations spiral into the usual shouting and threats, Optimus tries something… different.
He proposes.
To Megatron.
Megatron, caught off guard, turns a shade of blue no Decepticon has ever achieved, screams a storm of profanities and obscenities, and promptly flees the scene by punching through a wall and making his tactical retreat.
What follows is an agonizing stretch of silence, longing, and entirely too many feelings. Until—finally—

Title: Peace Through Passion: Article I
--The Proposal That Ended the War--
Peace talks had never been pleasant, but this one was particularly wretched.
Megatron was lounging sideways across his chair like he owned the building (he did not), Soundwave had hacked the holoscreens to loop footage of Optimus getting hit by debris (again), and Starscream had already said, “Maybe we should just assassinate the Prime,” at least twice.
Optimus, trying to remain diplomatic: “We cannot kill our way into a future, Starscream.”
Starscream: “That sounds like weak Autobot talk.”
Meanwhile, Bumblebee was stress-eating energon cubes, Ultra Magnus was shifting albeit minimally , and Arcee was sharpening a blade with a look that said she wasn’t opposed to ending someone.
And then—it happened.
Megatron leaned back with that insufferable smirk, voice like smoke: “You’ll never get what you want, Prime. You never do.”
And something in Optimus just… broke.
Tired. Lonely. Overwhelmed. Drenched in the sound of decades of war and Megatron’s voice echoing in his head.
So he said: "Then marry me, and we can stop fighting forever."
The room froze.
Soundwave’s optic flared. Starscream gasped like he’d won a drama award. Arcee whispered “What the actual frag.” Ultra Magnus fainted.
Megatron? Megatron turned blue. The deepest, most mortified, short-circuiting shade of blue.
He made a strangled noise.
Pointed at Optimus with the most accusatory servo Cybertron had ever seen.
And then screamed: "YOU—YOU—INSUFFERABLE, SELF-RIGHTEOUS—ROMANTIC FRAGGER!"
Then he ran. Literally ran, punching straight through the hundreds of pounds of steel, and dashing out. Shouting obscenities. Down the hall. Out the building.
Post / The Fallout- Oblivious Prime Strikes Again (the mech not my username, lol)
Optimus: “…Was it something I said?”
Ratchet stared at his very foolish friend:
“... Optimus...You proposed to the Megatron.’”
Bumblebee excitedly witnessing the whole situation: “This is the best day of my life.”
And from that moment on, everything changed.
--The Pining--
Optimus sent flowers.
Daily.
Soundwave kept posting “updates” that were really just edited footage of Megatron brooding on cliffs with dramatic music.
Ultra Magnus locked himself in a closet again. Occasionally screamed into the void.
The treaty was unofficially renamed The Accord of Romantic Intentions.
Ratchet accepted the situation and created an entire seating for potential wedding guests.
Starscream wrote several thinly veiled fanfics and tried to sell them to Knockout.
Optimus tried to be noble. Patient. Dignified.
But secretly?
He missed Megatron so much it hurt.
He missed their fights. Their arguments. The way Megatron’s optics flared when he got mad. That arrogant smirk. The fury.
The fire.
He loved him. Stupidly, endlessly, hopelessly loved him.
And now Megatron was a avoiding him.
--The Return--
Lightning split the sky. Thunder cracked. Dramatically.
And the door to the lounge exploded open.
Megatron stood there, drenched, furious, glowing with righteous rage.
He kicked the door aside and yelled:
“YOU CAN’T JUST LOVE ME, I’M TERRIBLE AT EMOTIONS AND ABSOLUTELY A WAR CRIMINAL!”
Then he hurled the bouquet, yet another one of the Prime's courting gifts, at Optimus.
It was Heliotropes, Forget-me-nots, Red Asters, Hyacinths, and Edelweiss.
Optimus caught it. Smiled.
“Then we’re both disasters. Let’s be terrible together.”
Silence. Crackling lightning. And a flustered warlord.
Megatron stomped forward, grabbed his pauldron, dragged him down, and snarled:
“If you’re going to marry me, you better mean it.”
Optimus, voice soft: “I have a cape picked out.”
Megatron, flushing cobalt: “I HATE YOU.”
Optimus, dreamily: “You will look radiant.”
Starscream sobbed in laughter in the background. Ultra Magnus fainted. Soundwave projected doves and sparkles.
Miko eavesdropping: “NO ONE TELL ME WHAT’S HAPPENING!”

Idk if I should make it a full story. But here's a draft of Soundwave's editions to the peace treaty document.
----
THE ACCORD OF ROMANTIC INTENTIONS Ratified on the 20th Cycle of Awkward Love Confessions.
PARTIES INVOLVED:
Optimus Prime, Commander of the Autobots.
Megatron of Kaon, Commander of the Decepticons.

Optimus put extra thought into the bouquets:
Heliotropes: Devotion and eternal love.
Forget-me-nots: True love and remembrance, a symbol of enduring connection.
Red Asters: Undying devotion and deep emotional love, often symbolizing powerful affection.
Hyacinths: Sincerity and heartfelt emotion, with different colors carrying specific meanings (e.g., blue for constancy, purple for sorrow or asking forgiveness).
Edelweiss: Courage, noble purity, and love, especially in the face of hardship or sacrifice.
Scroll below the poll and it will explain each numbered option in a sentence or so.
I’d be happy to hear more AU ideas if anyone wants to share ideas in the comments!
Note:
I will be posting about the winning au in the following blog.
Winning A.U. Blog Link - https://www.tumblr.com/oblivious-prime-opmeg-au?source=share
- A post-war peace treaty requires Optimus and Megatron to live together for one whole month as a symbolic show of unity.
- To solidify peace, a political marriage is proposed.
- They agree to live together for mutual benefits post war. (Both agree and claim it's for beneficial reasons such as being able to easily talk about serious faction matters quickly, conserves time, etc.. they really just both like each other.)
- A mishap in Shockwave’s lab flings Megatron into a possible future . Megatron accidentally time travels and sees a future where he's married to Optimus.
- Optimus pretends to flirt as a joke—Megatron thinks he’s serious.
- An artifact causes Optimus and Megatron to switch bodies for a week.
- Due to a glitch in Cybertronian bureaucracy, Optimus and Megatron are enrolled in mandatory bonding counseling. They go to prove they’re not together. They leave holding hands.
- Starscream, for reasons no one understands, wants them to date. Badly. Shenanigans ensue.
- The troops mistakenly believe Megatron and Optimus are together. They look so happy.
- During a Decepticon high council meeting, Starscream mocks Megatron for being single. In a fit of rage, Megatron blurts out that he does have a partner, a conjux—Optimus, and throws the table at the offending mech. Problem? They’re not even dating, let alone fragging married.
Optimus drunk calls the Nemesis, resulting in the most embarrassing day of Megatron's life.
Chapters 1-7 on Ao3
I cannot draw, but I can do stick figures lol.
Amorvëael Pax
Pronounced: Ah-MOR-vee-EL P-axe
Amor (Latin): Love
Vëa (from Quenya, Tolkien Elvish): Life, being, essence
-ael / -el (Hebrew/angelic suffix): Of or belonging to, often implying divine or sacred
Pax - Peace / period of peace
Meaning/idea: “The life born of our love in a time of peace” or “Most treasured existence of our love in a time of peace.”
From time to time they affectionately call their sparkling beloved treasure for short.
Amorvëael has heterochromia, wings, and Optimus' helm.
No specific continuity is used for my A.U., definitely a mash up of whatever worlds I chose tho. I currently have no specific appearance in mind for Optimus and Megatron.
I have begun adding my story into Wattpad, so I gave it a cover.
Idk, I may change it.
Picture from @charolyn, in her videos she posts possible ideas.
I definitely want to write something like this.
To be edited.
I imagine if soundwave made a song it would somewhat sound like this.
I realized far too late that I forgot to title the song name here, so I labeled the post title with the name.
Idk why but I couldn't attach the video, so here's the link instead. (Edit: issue fixed)
I didn't burn a simple dish I was attempting. But while I was waiting for it to bake a funny conversation arrived in my mind.
Optimus and Megatron marry Post War. The following occurs after misunderstanding after misunderstanding. A resolution to their foolish angst and false assumptions.
---
Optimus: “I thought you didn’t like me.”
Megatron: “What?! I’ve been leaving you energon! I made you tea!”
Optimus: “You made it black with no sweetener!”
Megatron: “I thought you liked bitter things! You MARRIED ME!”
They stared at each other.
Optimus whispered, “Do you want to hug me?”
Megatron: “…Yes.”
They awkwardly leaned toward each other, paused, leaned back, then both reached again and collided with a painful clank.
But once arms were around waists, frames pressed together, they didn’t let go.
Megatron buried his helm in Optimus’s neck.
Megatron: “I thought you hated me.”
Optimus: “I thought I was too needy.”
Megatron: “…You are needy.”
Optimus: “You hissed when I touched your shoulder once.”
Megatron: “I was startled! What did you expect!”
Optimus chuckled, rough and joyful. “We’re very stupid.”
Megatron: “Yes. Hug me tighter.”
