bobby/rufus fic recs!

there are exactly 35 fics on ao3 tagged as bobby singer/rufus turner, and i went through all of them and compiled a list of the best. the ones with an asterisk are my personal favorites!

Put a Ring on It by Eyes_of_a_Tragedy

short and sweet and silly! 1.4k in which bobby and rufus may or may not have drunkenly gotten married after a successful hunt.

the plan by bloodandcream 

super cute little 1.8k story set during the early days of bobby and rufus’s friendship, right when they first started hunting together. this one does a great job getting inside bobby’s grief about karen and how that affects his relationship with rufus. 

Paint My Spirit Gold by isengard

2.2k look at bobby and rufus’s relationship across the years of bobby’s life. this is great because it’s totally canon-compliant and a adds different layer to their relationship that you can feel when you watch the show. 

The Bet by isengard *

7.7k. this fic is sooo fun and genuinely very sweet. it’s a case fic set in 1992 in which bobby and rufus think a republican running for governor of south dakota is possessed by a demon. bobby’s perspective in this is so in-character, and i actually laughed out loud a few times. featuring baby sam and baby dean!!! actually one of my personal fave supernatural fics.

Sharp and Unnecessary Perils by depressaria *

10.4k. this one is FASCINATING to read. i love alternate timeline/time travel-y stories, and this has that in spades. bobby sells his soul to crowley after rufus dies in 6x16, and he interprets bobby’s request to make it right rather loosely. it gets a little dark, but it is soooo worth the read. great bobby character study if you’re into that.

and then i’m going to drop links to the two bobby/rufus fics i’ve written if you’re interested in those!

every parting, every reunion is a little .8k story about the two of them being resurrected post-series. it’s rufus pov and was written for spnpocweek

the weight aka my 3.4k dean comes out to bobby fic. rufus isn’t present but his relationship with bobby is discussed at length.

The official supernatural tarot deck said that the old men fuck each other

Like, this is the two of cups. It's a fucking love card.

More SPN Gun Meta: Apocalypse World Bobby

Fellas, is it gay to name a gun after a man? Yes. It is, actually. Boats are "she/her” pronouns. Cars are “she/her” pronouns. Gun’s are “she/her” pronouns. Because guy’s love them. And obviously anything a guy loves can’t be a dude or that’d be gay. I know. It’s ridiculous and I too want to roll my eyes about it but that’s just how it is. It’s such a thing that even women name their guns after women a lot of the time.

In WWI, the Howitzer was nicknamed Big Bertha. If someone’s going to personify a firearm, much like a vehicle, they’ll usually call it a woman.

Fellas, is it gay to name a gun after a close male friend of yours? 

Uh... yeah. It for sure is. If she’s a really special gun, you name her after your wife or your girlfriend. But not your hunting buddy. There is no amount of homophobic humor that can play that off.  But anyone who’s doing that isn’t even remotely trying to hide it, so it likely won’t even show up. 

Fellas, is it gay to name your most prized gun after a close male friend of yours who wore one earring and was almost certainly queer and is canonically “one of your better memories”?

Uh, yeah. Yeah it is, y’all. Kissing might be less gay, actually.

BOBBY: Well, I don't know. Ain't so bad here, if you like killing angels. SAM: And you do? BOBBY: It's my hobby and my passion. So...I figured, it's only a matter of time before the dicks upstairs get wind'a this. And when they show... me and Rufus go to work. He's loaded with a hundred rounds, cast from old angel blades.

All Along the Watchtower was written by Andrew Dabb. Dabb’s already shown he understands some important rituals surrounding guns in previous episodes he’s written. (I’ll get to that eventually I promise.) He had to have known what he was doing here.

There is no world in which a straight Bobby Singer who is just a good friend names that gun after Rufus Turner. Not when Bobby has a dead wife who’s name we actually know. If Bobby were straight, he’d have named it after his wife. Karen.

 But he named it Rufus. Not Karen. 

The only possible conclusion is that, at least in the apocalypse world, Bobby Singer is canonically bi. And loved Rufus. 

And naming that gun the way he did is a public acknowledgment of that.

That’s literally one of the first things we learn about Apocalypse World Bobby. He loved Rufus so much he named his gun after him. And I think that’s beautiful.

They're in old man gay love and they're old man gay married

This is about rufusbobby supernatural do not derail

rufus calling bobby "baby boy" is canon <3

[housewifedean-blog]

“It’s just really weird, man...and a little gross.”

“I’m sure the feeling is mutual, Dean.”

Dean shook his head. “I mean, yeah, we’re brothers, but...we’re young and sexy and virile, and they’re just all old and...old.”

“We’ll be old too someday, Dean.”

“No we won’t, Sammy. We’ll die still perfectly sexy, guns blazing, the way God intended. My mouth will be no where near your old man dick.”

Sam sighed. “Just keep your ignorant mouth shut while we’re in their house, ok? They were nice enough to not only help with the case, but to put us up too.”

“Please, I’m a perfectly behaved house guest.”

Sam snorted and didn’t respond.

------

“I’m just going to piss and then we can go,” Dean shouted over his shoulder, hearing Sam’s ‘wait!’ just a second too late and barging into the bathroom.

Dean jumped when he realized the bathroom was already occupied, the bathroom humid and still slightly steamy from the shower. 

His cheeks heated when he saw Rufus, the older man looking bemusedly at him while Dean stood stock still in embarrassment.

Inevitably, because Dean was Dean, the younger man’s gaze was drawn towards the older man’s pelvis. Dean would later comment that he only looked because he was sure the thing had its own gravitational pull. Rufus’ dick had to be the longest, thickest one he’d ever seen, and he had a lot of porn dicks to compare it to.

Dean sputtered and rushed out of the bathroom, slamming the door behind him. He looked up with wide eyes at Sam and Bobby standing by the front door. Sam was trying not to laugh and Bobby was looking quite smug.

“How do you feel about old man dick now, Dean?” Bobby asked. 

Sam began howling with laughter, so loud that it covered up Dean’s affronted “Sam!”

Dean stomped out the front door to go piss outside, his brother and uncle’s guffaws following him.

someone will no doubt ask so im gonna say it now

i ship rufusbobby because i loved their rapport on the show, i think both of their characters were really strong and even with what happened between them there was still a lot of trust

i think the possibilities for cuteness are endless. we always tend to ship young, beautiful boys and men together because we think it is more sexually appealing (and those are the people that are represented on shows more) but i think that older guys deserve some love too? bobby and rufus are average looking older gentlemen who can still carouse with the best of them

can u imagine rufusbobby hunting road trips with old man things thrown in? back pain, arthritis, frequent urination, uncontrollable gas? REAL LIFE ya’ll, but also tender and super sweet ya know

so i ship it

also the chance in fic to discuss how old-school hunters are all hyper-masculine and whatever but the chance to have some of their ilk in a interracial gay relationship? LOVE LOVE LOVE
