Aww!! So much love for this. :) The image of Bruce completely stymied by all the wrapping paper and ribbon curls is totally perfect. XD

*applauds*

Came over here because sistermagpie told me there was a great Christmas Batman story here and she was right! I really enjoyed this and thank you so much for the great read! Great characterization for Alfred and Bruce! LOVED IT.

Oh, I hardly know where to start, I loved so much about this and grinned so hard. Just a few of the lines that made me giggle out loud:

And, good lord, had he really tried to wrap the bicycle?

“It’s wrapping paper, I’m Batman.”

“Yes, but Ra’s didn’t have a bunch of ribbons I had to try and curl with a pair of scissors.”

Bruce looked stricken at that. “Does he want a pony?”

Oh Bruce. Oh Alfred. Oh you. Thank you!
