Dratchet

Dratchet is the slash ship between Drift and Ratchet from the Transformers fandom.

Liars, A to D
Drift contacts Ratchet with some good news. They have found all but two of the lost bots and will be taking them to med. He does want the medbay buzzing with positive energy so that everyone can get a speedy recovery and signs off. Ratchet is annoyed by Drift, and comments that since his brush with death he's been trying to "embrace the transcendental" and it just makes Ratchet want to punch him. The only way he can reason him becoming third in command is because he just tells Rodimus everything he wants to hear.

Life After the Big Bang
Drift asks Ratchet what he'll do if everything turns out okay, and Ratchet says he'll do something nice for a change and make Pharma the chief medical officer. Drift asks why Pharma and Rachet says that he wouldn't be asking that if he saw him work. They can't make hands like that. Drift asks if he means that the best medics were forged, and Ratchet says it's both yes and no. But he doesn't believe that it proves the existence of Adaptus.

When they arrive at their location, Ratchet asks if Drift is scared of the DJD since he's a high profile ex-con. Drift says that he wouldn't be standing there if he did. Ratchet says that he's worked on those who have begged him to let them die just to avoid the DJD, and Drift is unbothered. They're forced inside a wrecked ship with a plague symbol when a zombie transfomer pops up and tries to attack Pipes. Drift then slices it and Ratchet demands to know what that was. Drift's not sure but he thinks it was infected, and Ratchet says that he wasn't referring to that, but Drift chopping at it. Drift points out that it was gonna attack Pipes, and Ratchet point out that it was going two miles per hour.
