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! :)

*hugs* Thank you Brady! And for your lovely e-mail! :) Yeah, AU's are...easier to write, in a way. *pets slavefic!Bruce* He's really cute! lol

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. :)

*pets Diaryfic!Bruce* He does love his family an awful lot, he's just not the best at showing it. But everyone knows anyway, don't they? *glomps them all*

Thank you again, Brady! :)
