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.
the end..
imagine that for me please thanks
oughh bruce who is desperate for human connection but deeply maladjusted, and yet he's found two people who he deeply trusts, and who somehow trust him despite not being able to pick him out of a crowd
"this character is the light of Bruce's life! No, that character is the light of Bruce's life!" Can we talk for a moment how Bruce is the light in Harvey's, Jim's, and Khoa's lives?
