Fics like rotting metal (or something similar)

Orion, who used to be the most sure mech ever, suddenly realized that he wasn't sure of anything at all. Deep down, where his memories and identity blurred further, he didn’t know where Optimus Prime began and Orion Pax ended, or if they were ever separate at all. Everything that happened seemed so far away now, as though it were just flux during recharge. It was almost comical that he entertained the thought that it ever happened at all. The thought that D-16 had ever… Orion abruptly crashed into the wall and, in an instant, pain bloomed everywhere on his left, pricking his inner circuitry and then leaving burn marks on his spark caging. Orion is forced to confront the (literal) excruciating pain of being alive after dying to D-16. Or, An introspection of what death-via-loved-one and revival into Cybertronian Jesus can do to a mech.
