    Summary

    Batman drew back, finally turning to look at him with coal dark eyes, the whites of them bright against the paint framing them. The cut along his cheek and jaw was gone, nothing more than the faint impression of a silvery line at the microscopic level, a five o’clock shadow smudging it out. Clark’s gaze alighted on the new texture of the undersuit, cuts of matte carbon fibre, faint traces of sea salt caught in the weave. A patchwork of night and shadow and the fog that lingered in the spaces between buildings. Sweat mixing with the oil of greasepaint, the synthetic plastic stink of kevlar and the high cut notes of steel.

    It was the closest Clark had been to him since that night in the alleyway the first time they’d met. Close enough to feel the warmth radiating off him, to watch the way the weak glow of lamp and floodlights caught on his cowl. Close enough to touch.

    “Hn,” Batman grunted and the sound rumbled from deep within his breastplate.

    “You called for me,” Clark said, “Why?”

     

    Or: Batman calls for Superman.

    Summary

    The hologram of his biological father had initially made him overjoyed. To be able to see one of the parents who'd created him, to talk to him, to, at last, ask questions and have them answered - it had been everything he'd ever wanted since ma and pa had told him how they'd found him as a baby. It should've been a slotting into place, a joining of parts; a filling in of that terrible, aching gap in his chest he'd felt ever since the day his powers started appearing and he knew he was irrevocably different. This secluded haven, this part of Krypton tucked safely away in sheets of ice, snow, and permafrost, should've been a comfort.

    Instead, it was a burden.

     

    Clark struggles with an identity he feels he isn't worthy of.
    Bruce knows exactly who he must be.

    Summary

    “The Batman?”

    Clark's cheeks were warm but he pushed forward regardless, “What, um, what do you make of him? He's been working in Gotham for about a year now, right?”

    “I wouldn't know. I've never met him,” Bruce shrugged, “And I don't think I'd like to.”

    “How come?”

    “He's violent. I can't say he hasn't been of some benefit - anyone can see that he’s exposed quite a lot of Gotham's underbelly, pointed out the flaws. But running around in a bat costume can hardly be regarded as the actions of a sane and well-adjusted man,” He said, a faint tug at one corner of his lips, a huff of derision in his tone, “Wouldn’t you agree?”

     

    Clark and Bruce have lunch. Their not-quite-a-friendship seems to bloom.
    (continues directly from part 10)

    Summary

    “Bruce and Diana are pressed together, swaying to-and-fro in a not quite waltz. Clark swallows and carefully relaxes his grip on the half-full champagne flute in his hand.”

    Several months after his resurrection, Clark Kent has had to reimagine almost every aspect of his life. So what’s one more little change? A lot, it turns out. If only falling in love came as easily to Superman as flying does.

    Summary

    “And then he’s struck by a thought: theirs is a solitary love, an orphaned adoration.

    Clark and Bruce have both experienced tragedy in their lives— both have experienced loss as well. But each man’s grief is different: Clark mourns something he never had while Bruce misses something he lost. Now that they’re together (finally), maybe they can help each other through trying times... that is, if something (or one) else doesn’t tear them and the Justice League apart first. So when Batman’s betrayal of trust threatens to do just that, Clark, Bruce, and the league, must decide what happens next.

    Or the past is a thing that happens, but Bruce and Clark get to decide what they do with it. Together.

    Summary

    Batman, to put it politely, doesn’t trust easily.

    For an investigative journalist like Superman Clark Kent, that just makes him more fascinating. When Batman (finally) joins the Justice League, Superman is— to say the least— intrigued, and eager to get to know the mysterious Gotham Bat. So is everyone else. But only Clark has a crush on Batman... which leads to him accidentally discovering the man’s real identity. However, before Clark can act on this information (other than telling Batman that he knows), he dies. And when he comes back, things are not the same, because Bruce and Diana are dating.

    Or so Clark thinks.

    Summary

    “The Justice League knew that there was more to Bruce than he let on. This was to be expected from a man who dressed entirely in black and whose adult life had been partly a lie, so as to maintain a double identity. But they weren't expecting this. Bruce had kids. Like, he even had an honest-to-god child; Damian was going on thirteen this year.”

    Or, the Justice League meets Bruce's kids (very unofficialy).

    Summary
