I am writing yuletide stories for my girls.

L has her story. Q has her story. This is the story that A requested based on this art by trolleys. I'm just the conduit, that's all I'm saying. *covers eyes*

I have mad amounts of love for slightly insecure Brad, especially when he has Nate around to make him feel insecure and hopeful, because he'd never allow himself to feel that way around anybody else. Said amount of love for Brad is equal to my love for nerdy, awkward, eager, oblivious to his own charms Nate, who's always polite, even when faced with the awesomeness that is Brad or the complete craziness that Transformers can bring.

About a year ago, Nate Fick helped saved the world.

He doesn't talk about it much, because it's kind of stressful for all parties concerned. In a nutshell, though, the beat-up Camaro that Nate's dad bought for him right after they moved across the country and Nate turned sixteen turned out to be an alien from the planet Cybertron. It's not a planet anymore, but it used to be. And on that planet there were good guys (Autobots) and bad guys (Decepticons). Eventually the planet kind of got blown up (like they do) and the Autobots and Decepticons followed each other to Earth (like you do). And there was a bit about taking over the world (like there always is) and about Nate's car being one of the good guys and Nate helping to defeat the forces of evil. Which wasn't the U.S. government (for a change).

This is the first time I've ran across an explanation for Transformers that made sense to me, as much sense as Transformers can make, I guess. It almost makes me want to watch the movie, though I know it won't have Brad or Nate, let alone Brad and Nate kissing, and won't be anywhere near as good or fun as this fic is, so I think I'm better off not watching it.

Thank you for sharing :)
