Summary:

“Very handsome, Rach,” Bruce says. He kneels in front of her, bringing them face to face or thereabouts, to tie up her bowtie while the tailor studies something on the far wall. “Does it fit okay? Raise your arms. Let me see the shoulder seams… good. Give us a spin.”

Obediently, Rachel turns. Bruce’s hand stops her at one hundred and eighty degrees, and he says, “whoa there, duckling. Tuck in your tail.” Before she can, he brushes her jacket out of the way and fixes the spot where her shirt wasn’t tucked in at the back, hand lingering at her waistband to smooth out a crease.

Thank you for your kind words, I removed most of my art a while back because of some... Let's say unsavory comments/asks/posts. I am far more hesitant to post this kind of content on Tumblr because I feel here is where I am personally harassed the most.

hohoho, is my bruce/dick fan showing :D. 12/09.

A fic rec list by yours truly!

Casino Royale by spaceisgay (chancellorgriffin)

The fic that got me into Brudick. Bruce and Dick go undercover at a casino to bust a plot by Roulette, and figure out they're in love. I think the characterisation of Bruce and Dick as adults and equals is well done, and the fic is really fun and satisfying to read, partially because of the realisations our pair has, but also because Dick is really, really good at poker. Fun! Hot! (Finished)

2. Strangers in the Dark by Averia

Incredibly underrated. Dick wakes up from his Joker induced coma after everyone thought he wouldn't, and we get to see what Bruce becomes without his guiding light. An incredibly compelling mystery, with a twist that I genuinely did not see coming. (Finished)

3. The End of the World by ava_jamison

Dick is about to leave for college, so Bruce spirals and angsts at a party–perhaps not the most exciting premise, but the writing is impeccable. The vibe is almost a little surreal, as if from a dream, but the affection and longing Bruce has for Dick is palpable. The setting of the fic (literally "a party for teenagers") also refuses to let you forget that Dick is Bruce's ward, which makes for some internal conflict that's delicious and heartbreaking. (Finished)

4. we’ll be together (eventually, in time) by Laroyena

Everyone has probably read this wonderful classic, but if you haven't, here's a soulmate AU where Bruce and Dick works things out over the course of years, while everyone figures out they're in love before they do. Batman being unable to deny himself and loving Dick, before pushing him away, while Dick leaves but doesn't stray too far is an ongoing theme here, and I'm obsessed. Selina and Tim's appearances are also in character and enjoyable :) (Finished)

5. Dick Grayson Reaction by Dreamquillz

A characters react to Dick's story fic! Okay, fair warning, this isn't actually a Brudick fic, it's tagged gen and will feature other Dick ships down the line. However, with that said, some of my favourite moments between Bruce and Dick in fanfic have come from this fic, and I truly believe no one captures their codependent soulmatism better than Dreamquillz. It is also just a really accurate, thoughtful and well written love letter to Dick Grayson. So definitely give it a go if you love our duo appreciating and getting each other like no one else does! (Unfinished)

6. Happy Acres by Kyele

Bruce and Dick go undercover at a couple's retreat run by Harley Quinn and figure important things out. The dialogue between the two is so fun and flirty (once they figure things out) and you really get the sense that Batman and Nightwing are a well oiled team. The actual plot (and the final battle) is also so well written that I think it actually could have been published as a canon Batman investigative novel if it were adjusted for censors and whatnot. A great great time! (Finished)
