What happens if you use a USB-C->USB-C cable to connect your Nexus and Pixel? Does one charge the other? Does nothing happen? What about charging a Bluetooth keyboard that's USB-C? Is that possible with either of them? (I'm not being snarky, these are genuine questions, but the answer probably depends on the devices, keyboard, and cables used.)

In general most (all?) USB-C phones support USB power delivery. This means when you plug in two phones to each other, they will prompt you on-screen asking if you want to charge the connected device.

I'm not sure what you mean about charging a USB-C Bluetooth keyboard? If you mean can your phone charge a random USB-C peripheral the answer is generally yes.

You can even use your phone to charge your laptop if you like, although I don't know why you'd do that :)

One awesome thing with USB-C I've found is I can simply use my phone charger for trickle charging. I rarely take my power brick out of my laptop bag these days, since that's more than plenty for most uses.
