Summary
"Others had tried to stop Wedge from succeeding, whether it be his old teachers or peers or Cybertron as a whole, but he had risen to the top despite them. He had become the best recruit on Cybertron. He had gotten admitted to the first Rescue Bot Academy on Earth, taught and founded by heroes of both planets.
He was here and he was finally surrounded by bots who knew nothing of his past. He could finally work his hardest and be the best, without anything in his past or anyone here in his present to drag him down.
Long story short, Wedge had worked hard to get here. So all that is to say-
Wedge did not like Hotshot."-- OR --
Alternating between the past and present: While Wedge in the present works to prove himself at the academy, his younger self works to prove himself as anything more than a dirty Decepticon. Canon at the start of the show vs. the time Wedge spent on Cybertron as he goes from being a Decepticon to a Rescue Bot.

Bookmark Notes:
I've fallen head over heels with this show, and I think this fic is really doing Wedge justice, even though I'm only a quarter of the way through. So far, it's canon compliant with the first part of the show, focusing on the fallout from Wedge's rivalry with Hot Shot. The show mainly focused on Hot Shot, and I'm really enjoying seeing Wedge's perspective, particularly how his backstory might have tied into his treatment of Hot Shot.
