A time away for re-charging? Always works for me! :)
I wouldn't worry too much about your AU characterization. By its very nature, AU is going to bring out different facets of the characters we know. Your Bruce in the slavefic, for example, still has his aggression, but deeply buried, as you hint that a past occurrence is keeping it that way. And his compassion is pure Bruce! :)
The Bruce of the Files stories is very much the Bruce we know: self-flagellating, responsible, insecure, etc. But still with so much love in him that everyone puts up with his craziness and they pretty much revolve around him. :)
