There was an entire harem of them—mechs, femmes, every conceivable frame type. Anything he wanted in a fellow Cybertronian, odds were good there was an example of it in his harem. There were two harems, in fact—a house of younger Cybertronians, those in training, and their more senior counterparts. These elders were the ones with whom he spent most of his time—companions in court, in the evenings after a long day spent with the council and his advisors. Many of the elders were very capable lovers as well.
But in the end, at the end of the day, when night was at its darkest, he'd send them back to their harem, and lay awake in his berth wondering why. He would wonder why for an hour or so before giving up on sleep and leaving, telling the guards outside his quarters to stay at their post, he'd only be gone a moment.
It would only take a moment to get to where we needed to be—a massive addition to the Metroplex itself. Rumors circulated among the common mech as to what it was. Many thought it was a temple, judging by the design.
This was what Ultra Magnus wanted when he had the building commissioned—something unassuming (by Magnusly standards), so no one would suspect that it housed someone very important.
It was here that Ultra Magnus found himself at night, in this massive building, ascending a staircase to a platform, with low cushions on which to sit and tables and books. These were of little interest to him as he approached the colossal figure that was sitting slumped against the wall in recharge. "Sigma…?" he said softly, kneeling at the edge of the platform.
The voice roused the other Cybertronian, who lifted his head and onlined his optics. A smile shaped his face as he recognized the figure in front of him. "Ultra…" His voice rumbled and echoed in the chamber.
Ultra Magnus smiled at the address. "Hello, Sigma."
Sigma sat up a little straighter and held up his hand, waiting until Ultra Magnus stepped off of the platform and into his palm. He brought the smaller mech (there was a sense of irony in that, since Ultra Magnus was no runt) up to his face shield.
Ultra Magnus laid a hand on Sigma's face shield, smiling warmly. It pained him that this was their only way of interacting—in secret. The Omegas served admirably in the wars, and yet were only a step above Decepticons in social wealth. Sigma, he saved from a lifetime of servitude because he served with the Sentinel, and knew him—strike that, loved him, deeply. Far more deeply than any concubine. And yet he couldn't take him as his bonded, the social stigma too powerful, the threat against Sigma too powerful.
"What troubles you, Ultra?" Sigma asked softly.
Ultra Magnus smiled thinly. "Nothing," he dismissed, sitting down in his lover's hand.

Notes: Prompt from
locoexclaimer – Write an AU
Summary: Every family has its dirty little secrets…
Written for a challenge I’m tackling alongside loco.
Oh hello, Transformers. You thought I’d forgotten you, didn’t you?
Oooh, I love me this prompt. I’m such an AU whore, it’s not even real—I developed three bunnies for this fill (this, plus two Knight Rider).
AU Highlights
* Autobots and Decepticons are treated as separate races. Cybertron is under Autobot rule, while the Decepticons are either banished or imprisoned (for crimes from the Great War era), or are lower class citizens, many finding work as merchants or servants.
* The position of Magnus is like a monarch, and passed onto the eldest offspring.
* The Magnus is supreme leader, and is advised by the Council and its Ministers.
* Omega Sentinels (such as Omega Supreme) are lower than most Autobots, but still outrank Decepticons, mostly due to the fact that they were built solely for war purposes and are generally of lesser intelligence. Of the ones who are still online, many serve as transports for the military or civilian populace (often alongside their stasis-locked brothers).
I wanted to explore the bits with the Omega Sentinels, and given how hard I ship Ultra Magnus and Sigma Supreme, it was an easy thing to touch on. I wanted to play around with Sentinel x Blackarachnia in this, too, and I tried, but they weren’t cooperating. >_>
