We're a little late again, but themes never expire, so please do not feel deterred from filling one at any time inspiration strikes you.

January's theme is "cold," in honor of the part of the year where the weather in much of the world turns bitterly cold, often with snow and ice.

Whether your interpretation of cold is emotional/mental (such as a bitter distance between people or the symptoms of grief) or physical (such as the weather), how will Megatron and Ratchet (potentially fail to) cope?

Rules

• Please follow usual tagging & posting requirements.
• Please include the tag for the prompt: "monthly theme: cold"
• Interpret the theme however you want; follow your creativity wherever it takes you.

Please note:
There is no minimum for the fill in terms of length or complexity.

Any fanwork type is welcome. If we don't have a tag for your type, please PM the mod to have it added.

There is no time limit. While a new theme will be posted every month, the old themes don't expire and there are no deadlines. Fill the theme prompt whenever you'd like.

There is no fill limit. Fill the prompt once or as many times as you want.

You're also welcome to bat ideas around in the brainstorming post for this or any other prompt at any time. That space is open for the community to use.

Have fun!
