bb, oh Bruce. ! This is headcanon! Headcanon characterisation! I believe in this fic. Yes, this happened, totally.

Your writing is gorgeous, and the dialogue and Bruce's thoughts are spot on. I'm reminded of the Gotham Knights issue where Bruce has a nightmare about his parents, and Dick's parents, and Jason is there too - there's the same uncertainty and sense of guilt and powerlessness pulling on his shoulders.

I did, Bruce wants to protest, but. But. He'd doubted. To know Jason, really know him, would have meant there could be no doubt - one way or the other. He'd have been sure, and he still isn't, still doesn't know if the bird in his nest had been a cuckoo, a killer.

This!

The ending lines are beautiful, as well.

I'm so glad I checked the recent bruce/jason tag on delicious, you can't even know.
