#versus trent who always seemed so confident and cool. now letting himself be a sweet dork at the cost of being less confident/firm

nate and trent during s3/post-canon has got to be like. a hilarious dynamic. not to mention nate returning to richmond and like. trent crimm is also here. they're like yeah he's our emotional support biographer now. yeah he's been around all season. we like him now. they make the world's most awkward eye contact before both immediately fleeing in opposite directions.

#actually i think they would get along i would like to see it #but also how do you reconcile you both did something you super regret to hurt someone you both care about a lot? and like #how exactly that happened? how trent quit about it and also BURNED NATE AS A SOURCE? how nate was the one who made the situation? #etc etc etc. but like also i dont think. like. #i get fanon of trent being all protective or whatever but i like to think he's taken enough cues from ted that he's also just like. #i get it. hurt people hurt people. and nates like what you dont hate me? you LOST YOUR JOB but like #no. trent doesnt hate him. how could he #so this is made ten thousand times funnier in a tedependent fix it fic because nate comes back full of regret and crying and like #trent crimm--who WROTE AND PUBLISHED THE ARTICLE HE FEELS SO BAD ABOUT--is just. Also There. #vibing. everyone likes him now. how the hell-- #and then when nates like [trying and failing to be casual] hey so um. why is. why is trent crimm here? #he gets the following answers: #a) he's writing a book about us! b) he's writing a book about ted! c) we think he and ted might be kissing. unclear #nate comes back to richmond and teds like oh trent? yeah hes my bf <333 and nates like hes your WHAT #also see: nate is a really sweet dorky and kinda anxious person and now hes kinda back there at this point except #hopefully with more self confidence and ability to stand up for himself #versus trent who always seemed so confident and cool. now letting himself be a sweet dork at the cost of being less confident/firm #like. i just think they'd be neat is all #let them bond over being dorks actually

it's not peer review if i post my own tags but i'm thinking about this again actually. someone also said in the notes something about them bonding over like. how they're both actually really knowledgeable about the sport and care a lot about it and like. really can't get over the idea of them post-canon actually becoming friends and getting excited about sports history and statistics and strategy and stuff that is stupidly endearing and i love it so much
