I'm stealing these because I asked for more than a bunch of drabbles from other people, so it seems it's only fair to reciprocate.

The first fifteen people to comment on this post get to request a drabble from you. In return, they have to post this meme in their journal. Post all fandoms you’re willing to write for.DC fandom, though I can probably ( Read more... )

Little Bee's Great Adventure, or, When Alan met Bruce, Part 1. G (855 words) arch_schatten October 27 2007, 19:43:58 UTC
We'll see how the trash turns out :) I hope it's something cool! in any case, it's good fun :) *glomps back*

I can't keep stories short! why??? ..well. Little Bruce wouldn't allow me, so I guess that's why. Here it goes, Star! I hope you like it :)

...this doesn't fit in a single comment! what?? aughh.

Bruce usually wasn't allowed to attend Grown Up Parties. His Mother said he wouldn't like them, anyway, so he always stayed home with Alfred, though he sneaked peaks at the people dancing, drinking and talking when the parties were at the Manor. Mother was right in a sense, it didn't seem like it would be very fun to be there, but Bruce liked to watch people from the top of the stairs. Grown Ups usually didn't mean what they said or meant other things instead and did things that got them further away from what they really wanted, like that man who tried to be funny and made other people angry or that woman who was really nice to other men but wanted her husband to pay more attention to her.

Bruce really didn't get them, but he thought that if he looked more at them, someday he would understand. Mother said it was a matter of time, and that she almost hoped he never would, so he would stay her busy little Bee forever.

Bruce wasn't going to be a little Bee forever. He was going to grow up, and then he was going to tell people to stop being silly and everyone would make more sense then.

Tonight, Alfie had a cold, and Leslie was out of town, and Mother couldn't find a Nanny on time, so Bruce had to come to the Party, but he had to promise to be really good and be nice to people and not ask things that would embarrass his Father, and not play on the floor and not fall asleep on the coat room. Bruce was a big boy and he didn't need to be told those things, but Father always wanted to make sure he would behave.

Miss Clarissa was hosting the party, and she thought he was adorable and showed him where the entrees were, so he could pick something up. Bruce didn't like Grown Up Parties food, but he tried to be polite and picked a small brochette. Alfred taught him all kinds of names for Grown Up Party food, and Bruce thought it was all very silly. It was just food, and the names weren't even in English.

Yep! You tell them to stop being silly Bruce! :P

Little Bruce is adoraaableeee! I'm glad you liked him! I have had the little Bee nickname in my head for a while. In another universe, where Bruce grew up with Tommy (Wayne, Owlman from Earth 2), Tommy called him Buzz and thus mother called him Bee. Oh, I am so self indulgent when it comes to Bruce! :3 I love him so! I'm so glad you like my version of little Bruce too!

Oh maaaan...Little Bee! Can I steal Little Bee if I ever get around to writing my kidfic? Can I? Pllllz?

like that man who tried to be funny and made other people angry or that woman who was really nice to other men but wanted her husband to pay more attention to her.

World's Cutest Detective! Eee! I always love the argument that bruce was unusual even before that night, and I think you've nailed his voice perfectly here. I so want to beg you to do a whole bunch of Little Bee stories now...

Weee! Little Bruce is such a rascal! and so easily annoyed, lol. Little Bee is yours for the taking! ...there should be baby pictures of Bruce in a bee costume. I'm just saying, he would be adorable. And it would be amazing blackmailing material.

The World's Cutest Detective, LOL! Kids are very observant, and you know I'm partial to the 'being unusual even before Batman' theory, so it made sense. This little Bruce goes well with Quiet Revelations Bruce! they have the same ritual :)

I could write some short stories for Little Bee! 'Little Bee and the Aquarium: A Great Adventure or The Greatest Adventure?' ...LOL! I'm seeing them as kid books now, and cricking myself up. Okay, I gotta stop. Lalalaaa. I might write you one story with Little Bee and Clark, because I just got bitten by a bunny. It's been such a great weekend of writing!

Ahhhhh! Have him meet all the old guys! Wildcat and the original Mr. Terrific and all of them...lol...oh man, that would be fun.

I've had such a happy weekend watching you write and writing a little myself!

Little Bee's Amazing Story Book is brewing in my head. I don't know why he calls himself Little Bee, but with Bruce's tendency to refer to himself in third person, I say, why not!

I had an awesome weekend writing and chatting with you, wee! I just need.. more time! so I can also catch up with the flist! gah. But it was so much fun, even if I failed at drabbling :3

Well, I definitely liked the Little Bee here. :) Bruce was a sharp cookie even as a child and would have been successful at anything he'd grown up to be if his parents hadn't been killed.

He's sweetly solemn here. :)

I'm of the school of 'Bruce wasn't normal even before his parents' deaths', so yeah, my take on him is bound to have him be odd even when tiny :) Being Batman is pretty damn awesome, that kid would have been great no matter what... I don't think tragedy stopped him, it just took him down a different road.

I'm glad you liked him and this story :)
