From 20th November - 7th December 2012, we posted 1-2 fics and arts centered around the fantabulous DC comics 'verse pairing of Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson (currently known as Batman and Nightwing). We had 24 awesome fics and arts altogether -- do check them out! :D
Please note: All characters and places (plus etcetera) presented in the stories and art pieces on this site belong to Warner Brothers under the DC Comics imprint. We're just doing this for fun and make no profit off this endeavour.
Summary: In which Batman succumbs to Batman. Slightly NSFW.
Notes: This was one of two possible pieces I wrote for the King & Lionheart fanbook, but the other one wound up in it, so I’m sharing this now. :D
Based on Dick’s uncanny ability to get his costumes torn in only the sexiest of ways. I’m dead sure that Gotham’s villains are secretly practicing this somewhere.
"I don’t understand how this keeps happening," Bruce mutters as soon as he lays eyes on him.
"Your guess is as good as mine," Batman says, innocently almost, but that’s a play and Bruce knows it. Dick is still wound up, running on leftover adrenaline and lack of sleep. His grin looks deranged, his cuts are bleeding, and the smell of danger and subsequent victory is fresh on him. He stands illuminated by the Batcave’s floodlights like some kind of tattered war god and Bruce, and Bruce drops his pen like a swooning secretary.
He wants to take every part of him in his mouth at once.
Writers have 2.5 months to write stories centering on Bruce and Dick (romantic or platonic, their choice). They are encouraged to reach any of three tiers of word-counts. Each tier comes with incentives:
3.5K words — (minimum word count) banners, fanmixes, or other fan media
5K words — the above, and/or a drabble written to a prompt of writer’s choice by another awesome writer!
10K words — either or both of the above, plus an opportunity to get art drawn to a scene in your fic! (not to mention the satisfaction of completing a really long fic!)
We’ve also got other incentives in the works, including art prints from fan artists, so keep a look out for those. :)

Timeline
3 May: Writers start writing!
15 July: Rough drafts due
15 August: Final drafts and accompany artwork/media due
25 August: Posting begins!
———
How To Participate:
There are no formal sign-ups for writers — anyone who gets their rough drafts in by the 15th July deadline is considered a participant. :D (Please do look over the Guidelines For Fics though!)
For artists & others, we will post a sign-up form in early July.
Possible Bruce + Dick Ficathon/Big Bang/Mini Bang (slash or gen!)
Zina had this idea to do a Bruce/Dick mini-big-bang fic fest, and I thought it was a cool idea, but rather than a full-out big-bang (which is intense), maybe just something to encourage people to write longer BruDick fics?
Which is what I'm proposing now! 8D
There will be three "tiers" of wordcounts.
3.5K: This is the minimum. Reaching this gets you some kind of mixed media -- fanmix, banner, that sort of thing.
5K: Gets you either the above, and/or a drabble written to the prompt of your choice by an awesome writer :D
10K: Either or both of the above, plus an opportunity to get art drawn to a scene in your fic! Not to mention the satisfaction of completing a really long fic!
----
Timeline:
15 June: Rough drafts due.
(During this time, artists & folk will look over the a summary list of the fics received, and pick at least one to make art/mixed media for.)
15 July: Final drafts, mixed media & art due.
----
Who Can Participate?
Anyone! Writers, artists, graphic people, fanxmixers, cheerleaders, beta-readers... all are welcome! :D
There are no sign-ups for fics. Just, whoever gets their fics in by 15 June, is considered a participant. XD
For art and stuff, there'll be a sign-up thingy closer to the rough draft submission. :)
----
General guidelines (for fic -- guidelines for everything else should be similar, though)
Fics should be Bruce + Dick centric -- slash or gen, it should focus on them both.
Fic should be stand-alone and "new" (i.e. not previously posted in some shape or form)
Ratings from General/G all the way through to Explicit/NC-17 are a-okay!
AU, canon, anything goes, as long as it's some recognisable form of Bruce & Dick.
----
But really, there's not really any point in doing this unless people participate, so... consider this kind of a preliminary, interest-scouting mission. XD
If there's enough interest, I'll make a more detailed post about how it will work. But until then, I'd like to find out:
would you be interested in participating?
if yes: as a writer, artist, or other (i.e. maker of fanmixes or banners/cheerleader/beta-reader)?
(I'm also open to suggestions on how to make this more appealing for potential participants -- please feel free to drop me an ask! :D)
Summary: Bruce and Dick both have specific reactions to the Batsuit. Weird sexual tension ensues. (The 1st part is set before Dick ever becomes Batman, obviously, the 2nd part is set after Bruce’s return from his presumed death.)
Genre: Humor, slash.
Words: 5,601
Warnings: Slightly NSFW. I actually feel like I should apologize for how NOT porny it is. XD All my Bruce/Dick fics seem to be exercises in sexual repression, idk what’s wrong with me.
Notes: Gift exchange fic for the always amazing epigenetics. Her fics and Bruce/Dick posts totally brighten up my fandom life, so I hope she’ll accept this humble offering! The prompt was: “I’d love to see some Batman x Batman action — kind of like this. Or basically both of them having an argument and then making-out/having sexy times, in their Batsuits. 8D” For some reason, I had a hard time getting Bruce and Dick to fight (which is so weird, considering they’re so good at it in canon XD), so I made them fight. Hope that’s all right!
PS.: I legit believe that this would be Dick’s initial reaction to wearing the cowl. So. >.>
__________________________________________
When Dick tries on the Batsuit for the first time, he knows he’s in trouble. And it’s not the kind of trouble that “putting on the Batsuit” would imply.
He can feel the heat surge through his body. When he tries to draw a breath, it comes out shallow and fast, and it’s not because of the form-fitting, Kevlar-enforced armor clutching his torso. He sees himself in the mirror, wearing that cowl, wearing these colors, and his blood starts pounding in his veins.
He hasn’t expected it, but there’s no way around it: stepping into Batman’s skin makes him uncontrollably horny.
Summary: “You wander down the lane and faraway…” – Stardust by Hoagy Carmichael and Mitchell Parish
Notes: For Gia as a part of the BruceDick Exchange. So sorry you had to wait so long, I basically got stretched between people and things and then my oven went crazy. I opted for Hurt/Comfort (though now that I think about it, there’s more hurt than there is comfort—damn.) and I noticed you liked sad things. Hope it’s enjoyable.
Story for kidquip as part of the Bruce/Dick Holiday Exchange! She is one of my absolute favorite writers in the fandom so it was completely intimidating getting her in the exchange but, oh gosh, I hope she likes it!
The prompt was ‘Bruce and Dick working off the adrenaline after patrol’ and it at least mostly meets that definition. So, yes, kidquip, hi. :D I hope you like it!
Title: Always Into the Fire
Pairing: Dick/Bruce
Summary: Barbara said they fought like two big drama queens and, while Bruce would never admit it, that wasn’t inaccurate.
Characters: Bruce/Dick + BatFamily + everyone who is anyone in the DC Superhero crowd
Rating/warnings: PG-13 for the first part. The epilogue, which has been marked out, is NC-17 for toppy!Dick sexy times.
Notes: For the wonderful st00pz in the Bruce/Dick Holiday Exchange. :D I derailed from your prompt a lot, ack, but I hope it works for you anyway. Meeya cheer-led and smut-advised, and Meg audienced parts of this. Thanks, both! <3!
Summary: It’s the biggest event in both the Gotham society and superhero calendars — the Grayson-Wayne/Batman-Nightwing wedding! But will Dick, caught up fighting a new baddie, end up being late to his own party? Will Bruce, Groomzilla™, have an aneurysm because he wanted a white gardenia for his boutonnière, and not this completely unacceptable white carnation? Most importantly, will someone get Clark a damn handkerchief?! Click Read More to find out!
for inrequimby.tumblr.com for the Bruce/Dick Holiday Fic Exchange here on Tumblr.
The prompt was “Christmas traditions at the Manor” and it sticks to that… mostly. And then Jason and Dick totally took over. It’s sappy, it’s fluffy, it’s Christmassy…
Title: Time Off (For Good Behavior)
Pairing or Characters: Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson
Rating: Teen
Summary: Bruce intends to give Dick what he needs —and then some.
Contains: established D/s relationship, implications of sensation play and bondage
Notes: This is for the Bruce/Dick Holiday Exchange and I got the great bradygirl_12 as my giftee.
This story follows this prompt:
D/s exploration. The dynamic of D/s is that the sub holds the ultimate power. I would like to see Bruce as the Dom and Dick the sub, and how their relationship plays out. I like bondage and scenes like Bruce fully clothed and Dick naked, kneeling at his feet, or Bruce in full Dom gear. Whipping and spanking is fine, but not into blood play.
[FIC REC] Sleigh Bells Jingle by BradyGirl_12 (Bruce/Dick)
Title: Sleigh Bells Jingle (1/1)
Author: BradyGirl_12
Rating: PG-13
Pairings/Characters: Barbara Gordon, Bruce/Dick, Alfred Pennyworth, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Cass Cain, Jason Todd, Damian Wayne
Author’s Notes: Written for the 2012 Bruce/Dick Small Gifts Exchange for Silvertales. Prompt #2: Bruce And Dick Come Out To Batfam (Everyone Already Knows).
My Notes: Sweet Bruce/Dick with a Christmas-y flavour and lots of hilarious BatFamily love! So perfect. <3
I meant to post this way earlier, but I just wanted to say a really big thank-you to everyone who submitted prompts, wrote fic, and read/liked/reblogged the arts and fics from the fest last November/December. :D Thank you all for your support, and I hope you enjoyed the influx of Bruce/Dick-related works as much as I did.
Special shout-outs also to: birdbitch, st00pz, giallodih for submitted two pieces, and a huge one to kidquip who did four (awesome) fics (!).
Meanwhile, the prompts that did not have stories/art done for them can all be found here. Feel free to fill them! And please do drop me a note if you do, because I'd love to reblog them here. :)
Finally, the participants of the Fest were invited to participated in a small holiday exchange (kept small because it was organised really last minute, haha), and I'll likely be reblogging the stories and art that came out of there over here soon. So keep a look out! :D
This is epic in its lateness, but here's the full list of fics and art for the fest -- under Read More, for your convenience. <3
