Homecoming
Bruce barely gets in from patrol before Dick brings Damian down to the cave to see him.
Written because Snackage’s baby Damian stuff is the actual cutest and fic needed to be written for it!

Thank you so much for comment, hun! I’ve been trying to work so hard on “tell me what it feels like getting over” for so long and I’m so happy that all the hard work and crying at my betas paid off. Gosh!
This was such a nice message to see in my inbox and I really appreciate it because sometimes I really do need to see stuff like this from people I don’t know right off the bat. Thank you so very much. (Aaaa and I really can’t stop making this ridiculous face because I’m really happy that you like the way I write our shared OTP! Thank you even more for that!
As for updating: since the chapters are 3.5k or more, all updates will happen on the third friday of the month barring an accident where I can’t edit the chapter multiple times with my beta type people. I’ll make some kind of announcement on my main the day before so y’all can keep updated.

Note about updates:
Since every chapter for “tell me what it feels like getting over” is well over 3000 words long, this isn’t going to be a story updated all the time since each chapter is easily three times as long as updates for any other AU I’m writing.
So this is a once a month sort of update scheduled for the third Friday of every month.
However, there are short missing scenes and related stories that I have to put up as they become relevant so there’ll be something set in that universe up for the rest of the month once a chapter has been posted.
In addition:
I don’t want to ask for much or anything like that, but I have something to say about comments and reblogs. Basically, please comment and reblog if you read the story (and tell me what you like!). I’ve been working on this fic for several months and more so than anything that I’ve written, this story is a culmination of my fandom experience. Commenting and reblogging so that other people can read it would mean a great deal to me.

Summary:
Heir to the Grayson’s entertainment empire, Dick Grayson has lost two sets of parents and in the process, gained a younger brother as well as a loving found family. When his attempts at bringing his parents’ circus to Gotham City are met with threatening notes and suspicious packages, Dick winds up with a compellingly handsome bodyguard taking up space in his home as a murderer follows on their heels.
Author Notes:
This story was started when I asked myself several questions:
- What if I wrote a role reversal story set in an alternate universe where Dick was the rich orphan and Bruce was a kid that grew up poor (and in Park Row)?
- What if that story was also filled with queer relationships?
- What if I managed to write a romantic relationship between Bruce and Dick that couldn’t rely on canon-typical expressions of their relationship (the pseudo-parental stuff as well as the years of history between them)?
- What if there were murders and drama akin to an episode of NCIS but without all the fridging of women and POC?
- Is it possible to racebend classic comic characters while using fiction as your medium?
I wanted to try to write a slow build story for my favorite pairing and this is as slow as they get. Originally started for the DCU Big Bang for 2012, this work of fan fiction is currently halfway finished and will have a regular (but slow) update schedule as I work to finish the story.

WIP Wednesday - Harvey/Bruce
“Well, you’re here now,” Harvey says, already feeling the same sort of heat that’d start to burn when Harvey and Bruce were alone for a minute back in high school. “I have a single to myself and my roommate isn’t going to be awake for a few more hours.”
Bruce licks his lips. “What are you suggesting?”
Harvey fists his fingers in the front of Bruce’s faded gray t-shirt and pulls Bruce down until they’re kissing close and he can smell the mint on Bruce’s breath.
“I’m suggesting that you come upstairs with me, fuck my brains out, and then take me to lunch.” He watches the realization dawn in Bruce’s eyes and feels that telltale twitch against his thigh that means that one part of Bruce is most certainly interested. Harvey steps backward before Bruce can kiss him again and bares his teeth in a sharp smile.
“You coming?”
Bruce smiles and dips his head the way he always does when he’s trying to be cute. “Not yet.”
Harvey smacks Bruce lightly, hitting across his chest with a light blow. “You’ve been mostly incorruptible for years, Bruce,” he says, “Don’t change on me now.”
I’m trying a new thing on this blog where I post a bit from a WIP every Wednesday (and stick to it).
This particular NSFW-ish snippet is from a short Bruce/Lex/Harvey story I’m working on that is tentatively set in the same universe as that currently unpublished Bruce/Dick no-Batman AU from last year. It’s part of the backstory for the big universe so when it’s done, it’ll mainly be self-explanatory around the sex scenes.
a reasonable time for intrigue - Marking Boundaries verse
Tim gets a call from Bruce right before dawn.
The plot does that thing where it moves forward and I get to start playing with more characters. (For those of you looking for the earlier parts of this story, just check the story tag!)
