Bulma and the Bad Man is an Explicit Bulma Briefs/Vegeta Het multi-chapter fic for the Dragon Ball fandom. It was written by Severe_Minx during 2022 and 2023 to explore Dragon Ball Z's Three Year Gap period and how Vegeta and Bulma could've gotten together during that time. The fic is well regarded by its readers.
Bulma Briefs, handsome, clever, rich, with a comfortable home and a happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence and had lived sixteen years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.First Sentence of Bulma and the Bad Man
Dear reader,Yes, that first sentence is taken from Jane Austen’s Emma.
I woke up one morning compelled to pay a tribute to my original OTP. Twenty years ago, when DBZ was airing in my country for the first time, Future Trunks revealed who his parents were, leaving me puzzled, a question concerning my two favourite characters burning in my mind: “How did Bulma and Vegeta get together?” Since the show gave me no answers, in my naivety I took this question to the internet and thus found out about the world of fanfiction. Needless to say, my innocence was lost forever. Over the years I have devoured many, many stories about Vegeta and Bulma during the infamous ‘three year gap’. It made me wonder how I would tell the story. As a result, this is my small offering to the fandom, to the pairing that started it all. My story is by no means original, but rather an amalgamation of theories, assumptions, fandom lore and repeated themes compounded over the years, strung together in a way I found entertaining and somewhat canon compliant. I hope you will enjoy my endeavour and feel free to leave me a comment.
With love,

Reviews
A great ending to a wonderful story! This has become one of my all time favourite 3 year gap fics (and one of my favourite Vegebul fics in general). You are such a talented writer and I definitely hope to read more from you in the future. I enjoyed every minute, thank you.[1]
What a wild, sexy and hilarious ride. I adore that you wrapped it up with the little collar and bell!! (=ↀωↀ=)Grats on completion!![2]
YUP. I went right back and read it all over again, at a more sedate pace this time which allowed me to even more greatly appreciate the characterisation and all the juicy details. Everyone feels so real I just want to chew on them. <3 <3 <3[3]
