Summary
If there is a god, Bruce has met him, and he wears silly bright blue spandex and brandishes his family crest across his chest like a lighthouse lamp.
And if there is a god, there’s a hell that Bruce must be ready for.
So, he keeps his contingencies, and he keeps his kryptonite, and he keeps metas out of Gotham. And if he keeps Clark a little too close, it's out of care. Because Batman is careful, and Bruce is scared.
But, beneath his fear, there is the knowledge that, deep down, Clark is a good person.
And, deep down, Bruce is not.Or: an exploration of Bruce’s feelings toward Clark (and the inevitable consequences of falling in love with your narrative foil).
(P.S. I can’t believe “If Clark wanted to, he could use his superspeed and squish me into the cement. But I know how he thinks. Even more than the kryptonite, he's got one big weakness. Deep down, Clark's essentially a good person... and deep down, I'm not.” is a real actual line from Batman: Hush. It’s just so perfect. It’s so longing. It’s what this entire fic is about. I plagiarized it in the summary.)

Summary
"I need... I want," Bruce pants, struggling to breathe and talk at the same time, "Fuck me, Clark..."
And if Clark ever had any doubt, it vanishes now. The man beneath him, moaning and twisting under his touch, is Batman.
There's no room left for questions. It's the same voice he heard months ago, pleading in the dark from a faceless man. Only this time, he's the one without a face. And this time, no one is eavesdropping on those sounds, because the one who used to listen is now the one making Bruce fall apart like this.
(Or, Clark thinks Batman has a very nice voice. It's been stuck in his head ever since he accidentally heard him during… sex. There's something about Bruce Wayne's voice that feels strangely familiar.)

Summary
There’s a new dating app in town, but this one is just for superheroes. You don’t use your name or callsign and there’s no photos, only a short bio. The idea is to talk about personal lives AND hero-ing without specifics, keeping both their secret identity secret and their hero persona in place.
Dick signs Bruce up. Clark signs up willingly. They accidentally match up and even for the World's Greatest Detective, it takes a while to figure it out. In part because he isn't trying to figure it out, that's the whole point! But also because Boy Scout Superman is definitely straight and definitely not a dude who hangs out at a farm in his free time.
And Superman is confident that Batman probably lives in some random cave system like the gremlin he is, and doubts he even HAS a secret identity because he is so consumed by his Batman persona. Even if he did, he definitely wouldn't join a dating app. That would require wanting to interact with other people and also the capability to smile. -

Summary
“I don’t like surprises,” Bruce says tightly, after surveying the setup. It strikes Clark’s heart like an arrow.
“Maybe,” he tries, “you’d like a night off?”
Yeah, no, he hears it as soon as he says it. Batman? A night off? Ha! Right, on the twelfth of never, for sure. Bruce’s dubious silence says the same thing, but…
Well, Clark has to try, right?
