hello, saw your answer a few months ago (about brucedick) & was wondering if you had any recommendations for brucejay actually, since i'm quite fond of them...i'm also especially partial to bottom!bruce, so anything along that line (whether brucedick or brucejay or whatever) would be nice as well! thanks for all your contributions to fandom
god sorry i took so long with this, i had to dig deeeeep into the vaults. brucedick here, but no bottom!bruce if i remembered correctly – x
bottom!Bruce should be more of a thing after jay’s death because the boy’s grown big and tall with so much rage inside him… but sadly isn’t. i suggest fics that pair him up with either Clark, or villains. i myself am a casual sladexbruce + thomasxbruce shipper, but a rec would be overkill since there’s so little material out there. *sad trombone sounds*
below are mostly of angsty resurrected!jay, no playful! or sexy!Jay because for me that’s too much like Dick and i need to keep my headcanons straight. most are smut under 5k, and READ THE FIC WARNINGS.
Hate to Love by cadkitten, SakuraAme - an almost bottom!Bruce fic that deals with a self-flagellating Bruce and a Jason torn between rage and desire. it’s bleak and sad and everyone’s miserable, which is *my* kind of thing!
Not Entirely Untrue by Runespoor - if there’s ever a single fic that would make me a full-time Brucejay shipper, this would be it. a lingering outdoor!smut featuring Matches!Bruce from Jay’s POV that’s so heartbreakingly in character i felt like punching something.
There You Go Again by MissNaya - you can’t spell Brucejay without A-B-O! actually you can, but anyway. i love how aggressive and vicious Bruce is here, and how his conscience is guilt-tripping him the entire time. sounds like a regular Bruce day!
something better than before by ohmcgee - resurrection!angst that’s short but sharp LIKE A KRIS IN THE HEART. the dialogue just slays me. written in 2nd person so watch out for that if that’s like your kryptonite or w/e.
Where hunger finds us by Teland - don’t you just sometimes ache for bad, bad, bad, predatory, fucked-up Bruce that longs for his robin? no? well this fic has it in spades anyways, and he’s perfect in all his quiet wrongness.
Tomorrow For Today by Runespoor - angsty Brucejay vampire!fic that’s soooo gooooood from start to finish *excited flailing* Bruce’s is just exquisite here in his pained restraint, this fic just haunts me as it captured him so well.
BONUS ROUND: jay-POV brujaydick
Temptation by October_rust - it’s always a rare treat for me to find a brujaydick with a Dick that’s neither a clingy mess nor a vicious sex kitten; Dick and Jay are very in character, AND it’s got bottom!Bruce to boot. 12/10 would recommend.
and i run to the center of things by likewinning - an easygoing romp that’s part of an equally delightful villain!AU. Dick is a little ditzy here, but the fic’s honestly good fun and everyone’s happy and sated from start to finish because LET JASON BE HAPPY 2k18!!!!
HTH!
