hi, cazzle!! <3

i love g/t in every shape and form <3 you can just call it g/t, or specify platonic/familial if you wanted, but g/t isn't inherently romantic/sexual! it just describes the size dynamic :)

i'm very hyperfixated on superbat so most by brain juice is spent on them, but i have kicked around a few borrower batfam ideas either with all borrower batfam, or normal sized bruce and borrower batkids. @bobbinrobins wrote an excellent borrower batfam fic with human bruce and tiny batkids and i think about it often <3

bruce would be such a great borrower dad. adjusting the manor to his tiny kids, building special walkways and ladders so they can more easily traverse the huge spaces of the manor (once they trust him and alfred enough to come out in the open).

Ilya tends to hide injuries and now that they're in a team together, he can hide them from him, so Shane's constantly carrying things for him. He'll carry grocery bags, practice bags, take-out, everything. He's always holding onto stuff or taking things from Ilya's hand. He'll constantly appear on centaurs promo videos holding things for Ilya, like his phone or his sticks.

Once they start planning for kids, Shane buys a sensible, reliable volvo to be their parent car and Ilya brags about it on social media like, "my man just bought me a new car while your broke boyfriend takes you to olive garden and calls you high maintenance break up with him."

Ilya loves pda but Shane's still hesitant to start it for himself so whenever they want to get some physical reassurance or need to be closer, Shane pulls Ilya closer to him rather than going to him. Shane's sitting down and Ilya's close to the couch, he pulls on him so he's resting his hip against his shoulder. They're sitting together on a couch, he pulls Ilya so he's leaning on him. There's no more seats, he pulls Ilya on his lap.

They make a interior design/architecture video about their properties and Ilya's going off about Shane buying him building, house, a condo. "My grown, mature husband who knows about finances and adult stuff, invested for me, and he got me a house."

He's always bragging about having a "my rich, hockey husband," despite Ilya earning more from his contract. One time one of the cens let it slip that hollanov sometimes upgrade their hotel rooms, and Ilya's telling everyone Shane's responsible for that. Once Ilya retires, Ilya acts like Shane's paying for everything whenever they go out to eat or buy anything that can be considered luxury. The sugar daddy jokes get worse.

Most importantly, though, he truly reps Gotham. He’s often seen courtside at Gotham Knights games and every time at least one video of him goes viral because he gets too into it (picture Timothee Chalamet at a Knicks game). During one press tour, he did a bunch of tiktok street interviews and a “this or that” video about Gotham clubs went viral because other city kids related to growing up in the city and going to clubs way too young in the 2000s. One time, he went viral for wearing a Gotham U Nighthawks cap in Metropolis during the week of a quarterfinal game against the Bulldogs. He’s often seen eating at the same Halal cart in front of Wayne Tower during lunch. He’s THE most proud Gothamite.

When a photo of Bruce wearing a Metropolis University shirt gets posted online, the entire city goes wild. He's in an alley next to a diner in Gotham, talking to someone who’s not fully in the picture. The photo is taken from above, maybe an apartment window, and in the morning. Bruce looks good, hot as always, but clearly he’s just recently woken up. He’s relaxed and his hair’s messy–which, for Bruce Wayne, looks like styled hair that has naturally fallen down with time. The picture's blurry but you can see a couple of hickeys between his neck and shoulder.

The photo goes viral in a couple of hours. People lose it over THE Prince of Gotham repping Metropolis University. Bruce Wayne thirst edits are being made left and right–he genuinely looks so good in the picture. People make sad edits of Bruce videos doing the most random things in Gotham, like eating at Batburger. Every influencer makes a video about. Most people are having fun but some are actually enraged.
