Oh my. I believe this utterly. It leaves me genuinely unsure. Is Bruce unused to emotional contact, scared of hurting Dick, worried about proprieties, worried about self-control? And Alfred! I love it.
Just a note. I'm pretty sure Marvel doesn't own them.

I can't tell you how happy this makes me, because I wanted it to be totally up to reader interpretation. Is it sad and sort of sweet, or slightly creepy? It all depends on what people want to see.
I purposely didn't say too much about this one in the headers--and didn't post it to the genfic community--so as to not color how anyone read it.

*facepalm*
This is what comes of copy/pasting headers rather than writing new ones. I'm reminded of the time I once claimed a story had been posted in the previous year. You think I'd learn to double-check.
Wandered by on crack_van's rec. I REALLY like the layered ambiguity here. It's perfect for the relationship between them, and the characters as seen by fandom in general. It truly is/can be whatever you choose to project onto it. Excellent.

Thanks for catching that. All fixed!

Yeah, I hear you. I recently gave up labelling my fic beyond content warning/no content warning. I really like ambiguity.

Sad? Sweet? Creepy? Ehh, I can't make up my mind how I see this one.
It's been a long time since he's been hugged, except by Alfred, and Alfred's hugs are butler hugs.
And I do like this line. ^_^
