Summary:

Bruce turned to properly face Duke. “I’m sorry I wasn’t here when you were awake, but if you want to talk now….” Duke groaned, falling back onto the pillows. “Aren’t you supposed to be the emotionally constipated adult who just leaves things alone?” “I’m trying this new thing out,” Bruce said dryly, “where I try to be supportive of emotionally constipated children.” (Duke is kinda going through it. He has to accept he doesn't have to go through it alone.)

Submitter's comment:

A beautiful take on Bruce and Duke's relationship that doesn't ignore the fact that Duke still has parents and deals with Duke's feelings about having another "father figure"

Fic rec: penchant for worrying by butchyaoi (@fatblacksuperman)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/85892746

Summary:

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!)
