Summary
"Is Jason alive?" Bruce whispered once, in a voice he rarely used anymore. "Clark? Is he really here? With us?"
"Yeah." Clark kissed him on the forehead with such tenderness that Bruce wanted to die. "He's fine. His heart is beating strong. I can hear him, B. He's still out on patrol. Tim is eating a cheeseburger with Kon a couple blocks from the old theater on 6th Street. Dick... Dick's laughing at something Damian's telling him. They're all safe."
That was the moment. That was the moment Bruce understood why no one would ever understand him as much as Clark did. He also realized no one could ever hold his brokenness and love him as Clark does, in silence and in the dark.
(Or, Bruce is having a hard time accepting Dick and Jason's relationship, but not for the reasons one might expect.)

putting down roots by mikaminato
Bruce finds out dick and jason are dating. He doesn’t take it well. Clark is a good partner (but doesnt fix everything for him). Background jaydick. Mentioned timkon. Bruce’s POV.
"It is not because they're brothers. Or maybe it is. But not because of stupid morals or outrage." Bruce pauses and turns his gaze to the window. It's a cold, rainy night. A typical Gotham night. "It's just that… accepting it means admitting that the family I tried to build never really existed. That it never… mattered."
(…)
"They said they aren't brothers. Never saw themselves that way. They--" Bruce closes his eyes. He can feel the words crawling back into his throat. "It was my fault. Dick left because of me. They didn't have the chance to become close like they could've because of me."
"B, they all had a role in the way things were. In how things turned out. Not only you. Besides, Dick loves Tim and Damian like his own blood and Jason... he's a work in progress, but he's come a long way from how it started, too."
Clark pulls him closer. His voice is so gentle that Bruce wishes he could melt into his words.
"You made a home for them, Bruce. For Dick and Jason and Tim. For Damian." Clark pauses. His breath warms the side of Bruce's face. "For me. Even when it hurts. Even when we fight. It's always here, always for us. Always home."
Bruce reaches for his phone and finds Dick's number. The message is short and to the point. He hits send before he can change his mind.
I'm glad for you both. I hope you'll find the happiness you both deserve. I love you.
Just when he's about to fall asleep, the soft light of the screen makes him blink his eyes open again.
We love you too, dad.
A few moments later, another one follows, from a different number.
Dick is literally crying all over me. Stop being nice or we'll have a situation in our hands. And please, take care of Clark. He came to us looking like a fucking puppy in the rain.
Ps: love you too, old man.
