royalnugget42:fangirltothefullest:Steampunk AU where Thomas, an Horologist for hire finds the Sides while looking for scraps at the junkyard where the five have been hiding out after being abandoned in their burning house. All five of them have trouble trusting humans because they were left to perish without a second thought, but Deceit is the most bitter because he watched their maker run and not look back. Specifics: Logan is missing his right armVirgil, who runs on a winding key, is missing said key.Roman is chipped and his voicebox is damagedDeceit is missing half of his face and parts of his legsPatton is the most in tact and as a healing automaton has been trying to put everyone back together.Ok but what if Patton is suffering from some serious internal damage, like the parts are corroding and are on the brink of falling apart when Thomas finds them. He still doesn’t tell anyone until he up and collapses on them, leaving Thomas to quickly find replacements in the scrap heap. This is actually a thing though- because Patton is made for his parts to be removable and easily transferred, he’s actually missing a lot of inner pieces and they can’t tell because his outer casing looks in tact but it’s because he’s good at his job. When Thomas cracks him open he finds Patton’s been barely running on his core systems and any little thing could have caused him to stop working -- source link
