The smirk is the best part. It's totally, "See? See how velvety smooth I am? This kid LOVES me."

I loved "Weekend at Bobby's" so much the first time around and now it just makes me mad that they subsequently wasted Rufus, but not before unnecessarily angsting up his relationship with Bobby, which was clearly of the friendly bickering sort in this episode.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
By "wasted" do you mean "killed" or "used carelessly"?

During that exchange where they were doing the "Thanks Bobby, I owe you" / "No, I still owe you more" / "Well add this to the list" (paraphrased, obviously), I found myself waiting for the angst that we saw in their last similar interlude and it was nowhere to be found. (You know, the implied "you killed my wife and I'll never ever forgive you for it" part of that episode.)

I haven't seen as much fic as I was expecting to explain that. I didn't get that he killed his wife, but rather that she died/was exposed to jeopardy through Bobby's oversight.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Speaking from my own experience of such adamant REPRESS REPRESS REPRESS or else I'll go mad, I can see Rufus operating superficially on a friendly level. Fuck, life goes on, shit needs doing, these are the people you got. And it's all good, just so long as you don't ask, don't talk about it. Never Mention It. But if you do, the untapped depth of emotion that can boil up --it's debilitating.
Granted, my experience doesn't come close to "you are responsible in some way for my significant other dying", but on a lesser level, I see the real potential for a dichotomy of interacting with a person that you hate/are angry-with-on-a-fundamental-level.
I almost see it as a Ellen/John relationship, if we ever got to see that. Colleagues, allies, seeming friends, but a well of bad feeling lurking.
