#cade x optimus

[charlieslowartsies]

Cade used to climb evergreens as a kid. Right here, sitting perched upon the Prime’s shoulder as he moved brought the same sensation of gently swaying, yet being totally safe. “You’d think 60 some acres would be enough for these guys huh Prime?” Prime’s intelligent optics alight on Cade for a moment, and the commander hums a single note of agreement that sounds like a fire truck coming to a halt. -chapter 2 of 99% Stardust

worked on this last night to take my mind off of everything. im good for art of: 'cade on his fav perch and these two smirking at one another' at least once a year.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't stand it. It's too easy. The Prime is in love with a human.

Quintessa as she was looking through Optimus Prime's memories as she was brainwashing him. Finds new ways to control him through a certain human.

Optimus x reader | Age of Extinction

Ver 1.

[Autobot reader]

[Old draft]

[Not proof read]

Optimus stood with the last of the Autobots, hearing the distant rumble of another vehicle approaching the group. “Who’s that?” Tessa asked, gripping her dad’s arm tightly.

“Well, well,” Hound chuckled, a grin spreading across his face. “Who’s late to the party?”

As you got closer, you transformed from your vehicle mode, the shifting of metal plates echoing in the air. You stretched your body, feeling the satisfying click of joints settling into place, and looked ahead at the familiar faces. Optimus moved forward, his optics widening. “Thank the AllSpark,” he murmured, standing directly in front of you.

You placed your servo on his chest plate, feeling the warmth of his spark beneath the metal, and rested your helm against his chest, a moment of relief and reunion passing between you.

“His girlfriend?” Shane quipped, eyebrows raised in curiosity.

“No…” Cade shook his head slowly, his eyes locked on the tender moment unfolding before him. “His wife.”

“Sparkmate,” Drift corrected Cade, stepping forward. “It’s a connection that transcends time and space, a pure light of love that only comes once in a lifetime. Their sparks are intertwined, destined to find each other no matter the odds. It’s the rarest and most profound connection two Cybertronians can share.”

“Yap yap yap,” Crosshairs waved Drift off. “You didn���t need to go into detail for these pesky people.”

Cade looked up at the green bot and shouted, “Pesky or not, where’s your sparkmate?”

“Where’s yours?” Crosshairs shot back.

“Gone,” Cade replied, his voice heavy. “But out of all that, I got my beautiful little girl right here,” he said, pulling Tessa closer to him.

Tessa looked up at her dad with a mixture of love and sadness, wrapping her arms around him in a comforting hug.

“Optimus…” you sighed heavily, your optics dimming as you struggled to keep your emotions in check.

“I know,” he said softly, his voice a comforting rumble. He gently brought his servo to your faceplate, the touch grounding you in the moment. “I know.”

Optimus turned his helm, his optics scanning the area for any remaining threats before he began to lead you towards the others. His presence was reassuring, a steady anchor amidst the chaos.

As you walked, the weight of recent battles and close calls pressed heavily on your shoulders. You glanced around, taking in the damaged surroundings and the weary faces of your comrades.

When you spotted Bumblebee, his bright yellow armor scuffed and dented but his spirit unbroken. You made your way towards him, your steps quickening. For a moment, you just stood there, staring at him, taking in the familiar, comforting sight of your friend.

Without a word, you closed the distance and wrapped your arms around him tightly. Bumblebee hesitated for just a second before returning the hug. The embrace was a silent exchange of support and relief.

“Glad to see you’re okay,” Bumblebee buzzed through the radio.

“Same to you, Bee,” you replied, your voice muffled against his armor. “Same to you.”

Comfort barnhusbands doodles

Been kinda surrounding myself with distractions lately to help cope

I still miss my dog a lot but life gotta go on yk

Silly extra below the cut

[airis-hunter]

I like how in almost every barn husband's fic Cade at some point is on Optimus shoulder. Like the whole (small T^T) community just agreed, yup that's Cade's spot. I love it and I stand by it.

[sonderblade]

This is some VERY old barn husbands doodle like I think around December 2022 so please don’t mind the old art style 😭😭 but I remember having the idea of drawing Earthspark Cade and Optimus,,,

because I feel like it would just be so. FUNNY to have the LEADER OF THE AUTOBOTS develop a huge crush on this AverageTM mechanic guy living about his life. Like he just sees him around Witwicky while scouting the area and gets so mesmerized, he crashes into a Tree. and Megatron starts taking notice and makes fun of him for it.

Imagine:

“You know, when you said you would ally with the humans I didn’t know it would’ve gone so far as to fall in lov-“

“SHUT THE FUCK UP”

Or maybe

“Maybe he would like you back.”

“No, he wouldn’t and besides, we have different lives, different jobs… it just wouldn’t work. He has a daughter and probably a wife so-“

“She’s dead.” “REALLY?! I mean- really? Wow, that is absolutely terrible.”

Like do yOU SEE THE VISION!!!

Also like their first meeting could be the Terrans eventually get involved in something and end up in his backyard (he lives in the country side of witwicky, not in town) and he helps them. And when he helps them back home or something, Optimus sees him and like, Freezes before thanking him (poorly) (hes stuttering like hell) and Cade is like, “no problem! Yk, this might sound real corny but I’m a big fan of you and your team.” all sweet and embarrassed but OP is just like Freaking. Tf. Out. (Internally) LIKE!!!! imagine!!!!!

The Terrans have like no clue and think nothing of it but Dot looks up and Megatron and he just Nods, smiling. Bumblebee just has a midlife crisis thinking about how he might have a Dad2.

[witchofthesouls]

Hey Soul! Quick question! Very important question;

Can Cybertronians take human dick?

Like we always read fanfics about humans taking cybertronian dick (I’m not complaining, far from it, but damnit I want variety) but never the other way around, why is that? Aliens deserves alien dick too!

I say yes. Like why not?!

As for the lack of human dicking down Cybertronian lovers, I regulate it to the same reason why larger, stronger parties are constantly domming their smaller partners, no matter how loud or quiet the short-stack are.

Size difference combined with their more masculinity-inclined traits.

I mean, look at the pairings and the tags on Ao3. It's usually the femme or the smaller mech taking it up the valve. Whereas Femmes with Spikes is a legit tag, but mechs have both a spike and valve. There's no Mechs with Valves since the Sticky Sexual Interfacing has been nicely wrapped with hermaphrodite robots... that are mechs/males.

I'm pretty guilty of it as well. I can't remember the last time I posted a femme dicking down their partner outside of Tarn with his contract with the miner sex worker. Nor have I done a human (male, female, both, or neither) dicking down their Cybertronian lover, except an answer of how a human father/Cybertronian carrier carriage would work. (Long story short: definitely possible to spark, but the carrier will need a Cybertronian donor to help with the process.)

I need to fix that.

Look, there's a lot of fanon that Cybertronians can mass displace, so they can definitely take dick up a port. I saw a really hot and absolutely delicious picture of Optimus getting reamed by Cade Yeager's dick. It's absolutely possible.

[transingthoseformers]

Ohh transformer mass displacing down so their human partner can do their war paint or vise versa. Is sweet

Omg awww yes

Barn husbands Optimus x Cade came to mind first on my end

[darkcrowprincess]

@charlieslowartsies

Cade Yeager becomes over protective of a giant transformer once he learns all the shit he has been through. Is like my favorite headcanon for this ship. And honestly I love it. Optimus always has to be the strong leader Prime. Cade makes him feel like he doesn't have to be strong all the time.

I wonder how cade would react to Optimus death in revenge of the fallen if they had met earlier. Or how Optimus was betrayed by Sentinel in Dark side of the moon. I feel like in age of extinction Cade only gets a taste of knowing all the crap Optimus has been through. I feel like Cade would react very badly to Optimus death in the second movie. It be like his wife dying all over again

I'm sure they catch up and swap stories, and yeah Cade def has a "anyone would go nuts dude, holy shit how are you not Nemesis Prime-angry ALL the time?" But Optimus is a good noodle lmao. But also it's nice to bleed a wound emotionally with his driver.

Return of the Autobots

Part One

After the devastating battle in Chicago almost 18 years ago, the world was left in ruins, and the Autobots were hunted down by humanity, who feared their power. The government had declared war on the Transformers, believing that all alien robots were a threat to Earth’s survival. But a new and even greater danger is rising.

When the daughter of a struggling inventor, Zayla Yeager, discovers an ancient Transformer buried beneath the wreckage of a long-forgotten city, she unwittingly awakens an unstoppable force. The Transformer, known as Optimus Prime, along with his Autobot allies, must now face a terrifying new enemy: a powerful alien race led by the ruthless Lockdown, and a secret government programme determined to eliminate all Transformers.

As the fate of both the Autobots and humanity hangs in the balance, Zayla must face her fears and help Optimus and the Autobots protect Earth from extinction.

This story takes place 18 years after the Chicago incident. Zayla Yeager, the reader's perspective character, will replace Cade Yeager's daughter in the film. Still, you can adjust the details I will be using for Zayla's character to suit yourself or however you think this character should be portrayed. (Zayla is going to be half Indian, half American, as I always imagine myself as the characters in my favourite films. So Zayla's mum and Cade Yeager’s wife is Indian, and obviously Cade is American.) Also note that this story of mine will focus more on the relationship between Bee and Zayla, instead of Cade and Optimus, as in the original film.

================================================

"Omg, I cannot believe him. I'll call you later, babe." I cut the video call on my laptop with my boyfriend immediately, not waiting for a reply as I saw my dad directing a tow truck to place a broken and wrecked-looking truck down on our driveway.

Groaning on my way downstairs, I think to myself, How can he be so inconsiderate!? Bringing another piece of junk home to tear it apart in hopes he can sell the scrap for some money?

"Dad!? Are you serious right now?! Please tell me you didn’t spend our money on this crap truck." I can barely control my anger as I stomp my way in front of my dad and our friend Lucas.

"Hey! Language! Watch it, young lady." Of course, that’s the first thing my dad chooses to pick up on from what I just said. But I didn’t get to question it before Lucas cuts in.

"Actually, he spent my money. A hundred and fifty bucks of it."

"As an advance on your regular pay, which you will get back."

"When?"

"Never, Lucas, if you haven’t noticed, we’re broke." I can't help but snap back, ending their useless discussion on something that literally doesn’t exist.

To which my dad grumbles at me about driving a wedge between employer and employee, words which Lucas finds conflicting. But that conversation doesn’t last long either as my dad decides he wants to pick on me and my clothing choices.

"Can you two get off my case? You just don’t get how much I can get out of this truck and its engine. I can break it down and strip it for parts. And sweetheart, your shorts are shrinking by the second, okay? Cold water, air dry, please."

Not able to stand the sight of my dad at the moment, I roll my eyes and walk off before I say something I don’t mean.

"I think she looks hot." Lucas casually throws the remark at Cade, catching him off guard. "What did you just say?" Cade tilts his head at Lucas, thinking he heard him wrong, his protective dad instincts firing up. "Like a hot teenager." "Yeah, like the teenager part makes that any better," Cade grumbles back, clearly taken aback by his friend's weird comments about his daughter.

--------

I walked into the barn later that afternoon to give Dad my papers on all my denied and late notices for financial aid for my college. Lucas is over on the recliner, trying to get one of Dad's contraptions to deliver him a beer from the fridge, while I am still trying to get Dad to realize that he needs to stop turning junk into more junk. But I’m not allowed to call it that because the "J" word isn’t allowed in this household.

But before anything else can be said, once again, I’m cut off as the ‘purple people eater’s back, and she looks hungry’ – his words. My dad grabs a baseball bat and rushes outside. And oh! Look at that! He’s scaring them off again. But she doesn’t leave quietly, she drives right onto our grass and through our fence! Which makes my dad just love them even more!

"We’re stealing power now? Just awesome, Dad. Once I’m gone after graduating, who’s going to take care of you, huh?" Clearly, that was shocking because he doesn’t think I take care of him, as he lists the small things he’s taught me to do. "Well, who taught you to cook without using ketchup or how to balance your checkbook? Who always has to be the grown-up around here?" Now that that’s clear and I’ve said my piece, he reassures me and reminds me that my mum would be so proud of me before he walks off back into the barn. All I can do is look up at the sky and smile bitterly, happy at what my dad said but also sad that my mum can’t be here to witness it for herself in person.

After eating dinner alone once again, I make my way back into the barn with dinner, where my dad is trying to fix one of his robots. "You see now why I worry. How about you eat your dinner and take a break?"

After convincing Cade to take a rest and eat his dinner, Zayla goes off for a drive with her friends, but not before Cade gives her a "be responsible" and "no boys" talk.

After eating his dinner, Cade stands outside their family home, looking up at the stars, having a short-lasting conversation with his wife before a ruckus in the barn has Cade running over. One of his robots started malfunctioning and created a fire, which, after promptly putting out, Cade decided to turn his attention towards the truck that sits in his barn.

"Something in here needs to make this family some money. Come on, now you old wreck, judgement day." Cade speaks to himself, standing in front of the wrecked truck.

------

"Where is he?" Lucas asks me from the driveway below.

"I don’t know!" I yell back, throwing my hands out in equal frustration as Lucas before heading downstairs to the patio.

"Zayla, I’m basically your uncle. Su casa es mi casa. And we’re going to lose the casa," Lucas says, holding up the eviction notice that was stuck to our front door.

Getting fed up with this, I make my way over to the barn, where I know for a fact my dad is fussing about with one of his junk pieces.

"Guys, you have never seen a truck like this before. Get in here. Lock that door," my dad says, grabbing my hand instantly and dragging me and Lucas into the barn.

"It doesn’t have a lock," Lucas responds, confused but still complies as much as he’s able before coming inside.

"Look! Look at the hole in the radiator! Look at the size of it! Something blew a hole in it!" Dad says excitedly before he runs up the ladder of his moving scaffold or whatever you call it.

"It’s not normal steel! The shrapnel in its engine, it ripped all the connections apart. And watch. This took some Cade genius. You’re going to love this! When I hook this back to a working battery..."

"Calling all... calling all Autobots."

"Oh yeah. I don’t think it’s a truck at all. I think we just found a Transformer."

"Run! Evacuate!" Lucas yells, dragging me out of the barn with him, Dad following closely behind.

"Dad, that’s impossible. A Transformer hasn’t been seen in almost 18 years! The only Transformer the government has found these days is whatever's left under the destruction in Chicago!"

"You know what? That’s not a truck, okay? You’re right. It’s an alien killing machine. Jesus." Lucas says.

"Dude, it’s DOA. It’s been recalled, totalled, done." Dad says to Lucas.

"There’s a number you’re supposed to call. You’re supposed to call the government. It’s the American thing to do. And if you call and it ends up being an alien, then you win $25,000." Lucas says to dad but he just walks back into the barn, me and Lucas follow behind.

"Twenty-five grand! It pays for my college. Hell, it will pay for the house!" I yell after dad.

"This is crazy, Dad, and you know it," I say, shaking my head at my dad, disappointed.

"Alright. Bring the torch over and help me with the pulley arm. I think the shrapnel took out its power core. Oh, and Zayla, you see this!" Dad hits the truck with his hammer.

"Would an alien killing machine let me do that? Look, we’ll make the call. Just let me see if I’m right, then we can get the money."

Going back to the house, I decide to get myself a drink to cool down while Dad and Lucas figure that crap out. I mean, it’s been almost 18 years since Chicago! What’s the bet that a truck my dad finds in a junkyard is this supposed Transformer!? Too busy yelling to myself, I fail to notice the very much active missile flying right towards me. Yelling, I hide in our laundry room as I hear it fly around the house, bumping into countless pieces of furniture.

"DAD!! THERE’S A MISSILE IN THE FAMILY ROOM!" I yell, running into the barn. But that’s not the end of my surprise, because as soon as I’m standing between Dad and the truck, the said truck decides to transform into whatever robot alien thing it is.

The thing is yelling in what sounds like pain, but all I can focus on right now is making myself as small as I can and protecting my head from the things the alien is knocking around.

"I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!!" It screams, getting up to its full height before pointing its gun at me on the ground in front of it.

EEEEEEEK i just posted my first published fanfic over on ao3!!! if you are a fan of found family, domestic fluff, human/robot romance, and healing trauma through healthy interpersonal relationships, then this fic is for YOU! preview under the cut!

He remembered the first time Tessa had stepped foot inside the farmhouse. He’d been so nervous that she would hate it, that she would resent having almost no surviving memory of her mother in the house because of the explosion. Instead, she’d seemed thrilled that Cade was finally moving on, which had been a hell of a surprise.

“You really aren’t mad?” he’d asked her.

Tessa smiled at him, that sunny grin that had always reminded him so much of Emily, and touched his arm. “No, Dad. I’m not mad. Sure, I miss Mom sometimes, but I was so little when she passed that I don’t really remember her that well.” She shrugged, the shape of her smile softening. “I’ve met so many people that care about me. I’ve done things no one else has done. And I graduated high school, just like you both wanted! She wasn’t here for any of it, but I know she’d be proud of me. I know she’d be proud of you, too. I think she just wanted you to be happy, and it seems like you’re finally getting there.”

Cade, swallowing around the lump in his throat, had felt tears burning his eyes. “I don’t want to forget about her.”

“You don’t have to,” Tessa said. Her hand squeezed his arm a little. “But it is okay to move on. After everything we’ve been through, we deserve to be happy. You don’t need ghosts haunting you, not when you’ve got giant alien robots to look after.”

“When the hell’d you get so wise?” He’d pulled her into a tight hug, his face tucked against her shoulder. If there had been tears dampening the fabric of her shirt, neither of them said anything about it.

Emotional support humans

In this au the war ended before humanity got involved in it but for one reason or another we still find out about the bots. Standard fist contact stuff happens you know but the bots eventually realize how much calmer they are around humans.

Bots find it hard to go into statis when there's a high likelihood of being attacked in your sleep, but with humans those worries seem to just melt away. It's kinda weird to them to feel protected by a very small organic creature. Regardless stuff like this keeps happening so seeing an economic opportunity humans created "Flesh therapy." (Everyone thinks it's a terrible name but it was the one that stuck)

Flesh therapy could be but not limited to: cable straightening, therapy sessions, human cuddling, car washes, becoming living fidget toys or the main thing live in human therapy dogs.

It will vary but usually a human will live most of the time with a bot (the company will provide basic necessities) and help them through daily life. They have their own vest with cybertronian writing and a government issued work id.
