Totally obvious prompt-requester is totally obvious! :D
I know we've discussed how our versions of Megatron asserting his dominance over Nightbird differ, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect when you popped this link over to me (well, I expected awesomeness, obviously, but that's besides the point). I'm really pleased what you've laid out here. It resonates more to a lot of my headcanon that what I originally thought it was.
First off, this line:
Then she felt his hands over them, pressing them down. A thrill of panic raced through her systems, but she quickly tamped it down. Even if he released her hands, what would she say?
When I first read this, my brain went as far as "squee!" before it died, but rereading this again, there's a very symbolic sense of "silencing" her, much like putting a hand over a mouth, but then it's also, it seems a lot in writing, a deeper emotional symbol of... I want to say affection, but that doesn't seem to work here so much in this case as it is Megatron we're talking about.
And then all of Megatron's reactions... the little sounds her reactions pull from him are just...GUH. Yesplz. I'm a whore for Megatron sounds. |D;
I do feel a bit sad that Megatron does not let her return the favor (at least, on a physical level—lord knows how much he gets off on this already) and that he will inevitably return to Starscream, and while Nightbird understand and accepts this, my brain can't help but want to have a sequel where he lets her touch him and get him off (but that might just be because I can't get enough of these two).
Incoherent Squee is Incoherent!

TL;DR: Yes, yes, and hell to the fuck yes.
