okay so i'm supposed to be writing a gordonbat fic for @bruce-wayne-age-gap-challenge but it's just not really clicking rn so if i never actually finish it.. please imagine bronze age gordonbat where they've been working in gordon's office together for a long night and batman is like aight let's call it a night, i'll walk you to you car (like he does) and jim is like yeah okay but i'm taking a cab cuz my car's in the shop rn and batman says well... i can give you a ride home (like he doesn't). and jim is like :0 and then he is like.. sure okay. and this is a new and unusual shift to their dynamic but jim is liking where it's going..
and so there they are in the batmobile, roof down, flying through the streets of gotham—the city that has always felt like it belongs to the two of them but right now, tonight, it really truly feels like it's just them and gotham. and jim points to a building they pass where they solved a case and then bruce points out a store where they solved a case and soon they're literally going down memory lane and everything is perfect and jim is off duty and it seems like batman is as close to as off duty as jim has ever seen him and they're talking about the life they've built together as partners.....
maybe they talk about how long it's been.. how jim's getting too old for this (like they both like to say) or how jim is gonna get a heart attack one of these days (like jim likes say to say) or how jim will outlive them all (like bruce likes to say)...
and they pull into jim's driveway and batman turns off the engine and they're quiet now.. on the precipice of something... well they've been on the precipice of it since bruce offered him a ride but now they really really are. and jim is debating making a move, but before he can, batman is already leaning forward and kissing him.
and kissing him. and kissing him. and kissing him. and they settle into each other so effortlessly, like they've been waiting these decades they've been working together just to finally do this. and batman reaches for jim's belt, pauses there for an answer and gets a very readily positive one in response.... and bruce sucks gordon off in the batmobile.
Absolutely overjoyed with the amount of participation in this inaugural year!! I've heard there are a number of pieces still coming, and they will be added to this list in due time, but here are those posted so far:

For the @bruce-wayne-age-gap-challenge prompt of Erectile Dysfunction
Bruce isn't sure what to make of it. Not at first anyway. Eventually he figures it out, even if it's a little late for a man who once deemed himself to be the best damn detective there ever was.
omg i wish i'd seen this sooner! i finished up a work and posted it for this 2 hours after seeing it LOL! i've followed for next year so i get notifications and know when it's happening. :) this is the most excellent idea!
WOW that's quick!!! excited to have you here and with such a great contribution :D
We'll def be running this event again next year (and late entries to this year are always welcome if you find yourself inspired by any of the prompts later too). Shout out to Bruce Wayne for having so many incredible age gap ships

The only thing he can think to say is: “I’m old enough to be your—”
“Very attractive executive assistant?” Bruce quips cheekily, cutting him off.
Flustered, Lucius rubs his hand down his face, shocked to find his cheeks hot to the touch. He suddenly feels a great rush of sympathy for anyone Bruce Wayne’s ever flirted with, it’s not nearly as easy to stay unaffected by when wholly focused on him.
(Or: a normal conversation at work between Lucius and Bruce rapidly becomes anything but routine when Bruce makes his move. A short getting together fic for the @bruce-wayne-age-gap-challenge!)
sooooo being friends with @sisaloofafump, i have been subjected to thousands of words on their thoughts on brucius. so when they made this thinly veiled brucius event… well. i had to start doing some research of my own. in the past two months, i have read seventy-seven (77) bronze age batman comics and, boy ! brucius truly is Ripe For The Interpreting. (if you would like to read bronze age brucius, you can find a list of all of lucius’ pre-crisis appearances here)
i borrowed some of their interactions from the comics for writing this and now have a 100+ pictures google photos folder of every lucius page i ever read <3 this fic fits the prompts employee/employer and first date in years (though not in the conventional sense :3)
Picture this: Bruce Wayne fielding a few questions from press after walking out of some event, one playfully asks "Mr Wayne, any attraction to a costume ((meaning rogue or vigilante, common Gotham slang)) in particular?" and with zero hesitation (and a bright Brucie smile) he replies "Oh, definitely Red Hood." and then gets in the car before any followups. (Jason, not online, only finds out about this from approximately 37 messages from the rest of the clan and their wider network.)
okay so this ask is from more than a month ago and then it totally got away from me AND it's not even a direct response.... im so sorry anon, but your ask was perfect 11/10 no notes so instead, it inspired the what-if brucie wayne's sex tape barely makes a splash irl... 👀
Their sex tape gets leaked overnight.
Bruce's name goes trending for a few days but even then there’s nothing particularly front-page worthy about it when Bruce Wayne has long since made his sex life a public affair. It’s not scandalous in the way the media wants it when the most explosive part of the sex tape is that the other man is quite a bit younger.
The majority of the educated guesses on the Internet are generous enough to place the young man at half Bruce Wayne’s age. The rest is putting their money on the mystery man at being barely legal.
But even then, that’s hardly a surprise given the type of male models and high-society girlfriends that Brucie has previously brought on both arms to a number of high profile events in his sordid past.
Still, there's no news in that. After all, there's not even bondage or pissplay or Bruce Wayne sucking toes.
Their sex tape starts halfway through, tangled together in the same ruined sheets on what looks to be a four poster bed with a king-sized mattress to match. Bruce's hands are on the other man's hips while he fucks him from behind. It could just be the lighting of the room, all dim and dark like a proper sex tape should be, but there is a flash of white in the other man's hair as he is moved by the force of each thrust.
Neither one of them say enough in the video to get a good grasp of anything identifying besides a Gotham lilt to the way the man was panting out Bruce Wayne's name. Just an undeniable familiarity between them when the other man is calling out B on a truly pornographic moan as he is flipped onto his back while Bruce comes crowding in close once more.
It's almost too intimate when Bruce Wayne just spends the next few minutes of the video just nuzzling in against the other man's throat. Tight line of his jaw working hard as he mouths at his neck, leaving behind what will surely become an impressive array of hickeys against the other man's skin.
Their kisses are drawn out long, too many to count when they can't seem to stop.
There is no creepy reflective red pupils but the other man's eyes do seem to glow green for a fraction of a second when his gaze finds the camera lens. A smile pulling across his kiss-bruised lips almost knowingly but that's probably just another trick of the light before he is looking back to Bruce Wayne again.
They are pressed in so close where the only indication that Bruce guides his cock back in is the full body shudder that wracks through him when the camera shows no other details but the display of those powerful thighs bracketing Bruce's hips. And then Bruce is moving again, fucking in deep, living up to his name as Gotham's sex symbol and a proper gentleman in bed when he gets the other man coming twice in quick succession before the video can even end.
Still, the sex tape isn't the problem.
It's the fact that the hero community recognizes the other man at first glance.

Feels Like It's Been An Eternity (Since I've Felt Love) - nursal1060 - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]
Summary:
After a bitter divorce years ago, 56 year-old Clark Kent is convinced that his best years are long behind him. He tells himself that he’s doing just fine living quietly on his family’s Kansas ranch alone - romance just wasn’t meant for him. His tone changes when 28 year-old Bruce Wayne slips into his sleepy Kansas town for a week away from his Gotham lifestyle.
The two meet each other at the town’s monthly square dance night at the tavern - and immediately, they’re drawn to each other.
Clark thought that he was done with love - Bruce makes him want to feel it again.

Summary:
Despite the unrivaled view, Clark finds his attention drifting, wanting to look over at Bruce instead and see his reactions to the stars overhead. His palm feels so warm, rough and callused against Clark's own, tethering him here to the planet they're learning more about. He doesn't believe he's ever held someone's hand for this long, but he's lost count of how many firsts Bruce has claimed from him.
or; the time Bruce cosplays a 40 year age gap instead of their usual 20, and Jason's Very Confused and Very Into It.
written for @bruce-wayne-age-gap-challenge for prompt 19 (roleplay) and, to some extent, 4 (unconventional daddy kink). Hope you enjoy, thanks mods for organising this incredible theme!
please enjoy horny established bruce/jason acting insane 👍
😳
It's no secret from anyone that Jason's got, like. A leetle bit of an Old Man kink. He's pretty sure it stems specifically from one Old Man in particular, but that still doesn't make it any more dignified that he gets a little hot under the collar when a joint pops or someone groans in discomfort getting to their feet. It's a little weird, maybe, but relative to all the other weird things about Jason it doesn't even make the Top Ten.
Now, Bruce? And whatever the fuckass loving situationship they got going on? Now that's an all-time Number One Campeón del Mundo on any list, holy fuck. Case in point;
They have date nights (normal as fuck).
They roleplay sometimes, on said date nights (veering off, just a bit).
Bruce is aware that Jason likes that Bruce has got lines on lines on lines and grey hair and a bum knee and skin that's getting a little delicate and thin and eyes that don't see so well (value neutral).
Bruce is a creature of service (absolute fact).
Bruce is also profoundly not quite right in the head (real valid righteous and true) and as such on a night like this, full summer moon invisible behind classic Gotham smog in the eery not-dark of light pollution, you might just find Bruce roleplaying uhhhhhhhhhh.
Himself But Older (uhhhhhhhhhhhh).
Jason near dribbles his Whiskey Sour all down his front, when an incredibly dapper silver fox slides into the seat next to him at this posh as fuck bar, mostly salt with very little pepper, bags under the eyes looking profound and also very soft. The man goes oomph quietly under his breath, winces like this agitates his hip, and looks over to smile a little helplessly, a little beguilingly, at Jason, eyes a hazy blue like there's cataracts that need addressing (or a hand-tinted set of contacts that need disposing of).
God aloud, all of this insane SFX makeup and Bruce's fucking cologne is still the fucking cologne Jason had fucking bought the second fucking year he'd lived at the Manor. Jason? Is salivating, and is possibly nearer death than he's ever been.
"This was the only empty seat," Bruce, insane, says, voice a little raspy and soft. "Hope you don't mind being saddled with me, son."
Okay. Jason's not going to pass out for all the blood rushing out to his dick, he will not be embarrassing himself in this situation, won't fumble Bruce (the unfumbleable). "I don't mind," he says, failing completely to sound suave on account of the gallon of spit he's got in his mouth. "I wasn't waiting for anyone."
This has Bruce raising a silvered brow. "Lucky me, then. Let me thank you." He calls for the bartender and asks for one of what Jason's having.
When it arrives, he reaches for it before Jason can (okay), and puts it in front of Jason (okay), and very very uncasually rubs his thumb against the rim, slow and lingering like he'd really rather be doing it to Jason's mouth instead (Christ Alive). "There you go," Bruce says. "I'm Bruce," and he holds his hand out for a shake.
This is problematic, since Jason wants it in his mouth. "Uh, hi." He shakes it, as calmly as possible though he knows his grips strength goes up 20 pounds when Bruce somehow does something highkey sexual with his thumb on join between Jason's first two fingers. "Jason."
Bruce pulls away, smiling, and it's the same smile in spite of every else that's different, and Jason's going to Fucking Die For Real (again). "Nice to meet you," Bruce says earnestly. "Tell me about yourself, son."
-
It's a couple hours later and Jason's very light-headed. Bruce keeps getting his drinks, which is fine. He keeps, like. Almost finger-fucking the cups, which unfortunately is also fine. He keeps being paternal in a way that's almost condescending if it wasn't so insanely hot, steadying hand at Jason's back when Jason had wobbled a little overmuch in the midst of telling a humdinger of a story, even though Jason's not inebriated.
Even though Jason's the most sober he's been all night, because Bruce keeps getting them bar snacks and had started getting virgin(!!) versions of drinks by round 3 because Jason actually fucking hates the loss of control associated with being drunk, which is very Bruce, without breaking character and acting like he's setting Jason up to be taken advantage of, which is also very Bruce.
Bruce is presently looking upon him with warm, kinda demeaning fondness, big hand on Jason's thigh, which is what's making him big dizzy. The hand never rises higher, but when Jason hits a joke just right or sneaks in a tidbit about a closer call than he'd disclosed on a mission report, it tightens, and.
It's so late it's early in the morning, and Jason's in such such dire fucking need. He doesn't grab Bruce's hand, feeling weirdly shy when that is NOT a feeling Bruce commonly elicits in him. He does, tentatively, brush up against Bruce's fingertips on the common ground of his thigh in his nicest pair of slacks. "Think I'm calling it a night, old man." He breathes in the cologne that's gone a little soft and round in this quiet warmth. "Gonna, uhm. Stagger off home."
Bruce's hand catches his, and the fucking freak has laid down liver spots and silvered arm hair, and the fucking freak is rubbing Jason's trigger finger (that tends to ache a lot on account of having been broken the most on account of how Jason doesn't practice trigger safety as many times as people smash his gun out of his hand). "Didn't think you'd need to retire before me," Bruce says, low and warm and a little mean. "Do you need help getting home, Jason?"
Jason's got stars in his eyes, and he usually likes (needs) more control but a hopeless desire to be cared for is definitely a massive contributing factor to his daddy kink (extra old edition), and Bruce is offering and they both have the night off, and.
Jason tips forward out of his bar stool like he's too drunk to keep upright, rests his cheek on Bruce's shoulder (padded to look more rounded jesus fucking christ) and rests his lips against a starched collar. "Think 'm gonna need more help than that." He shifts a little, just enough so they're making the barest sliver of eye contact. "D'you know of someone who's up for taking care of me tonight, Mister Wayne?"
And Bruce doesn't need to break character, because the man's stayed undercover on two separate occasions of intergalactic torture, but he does because he simply wants to, to duck down and brush an easy kiss on Jason's cheek. "Of course," Bruce says, cool and confident and entirely like his regular self. "Of course I do, son."
And then his hand on Jason's thigh migrates to tuck neatly, proprietarily under the waistband of Jason's nicest slacks, like a sleazy old man's got these land rights, so close but not quite skin on skin, and Jason.
Is wondering if he can get some more character acting in the accessible stall in the men's room.
