Summary
What if there were a universe where DC and Marvel were intermixed and we got to see the insane similarities of superbat and starker?
In this universe, it just so happens that the Daily Bugle and the Daily Planet are sister companies working out of New York and Metropolis, respectively, and every once and a while, there are larger crossover events in which Peter Parker and Clark Kent interact. They aren't best friends by any means, but they get along quite well.
Simultaneously, Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark are maintaining a strange frenemies dynamic. When the world looks like it's going to end, the two of them band together to resolve things, but outside of that, they frequently try to one-up each other with their tech, bank accounts and sexual conquests.
I'm still not sure what I am doing, but someone said they would read this, so here I try!

Summary
“Silly me, I forgot. It’s ‘Conner’ now, isn’t it?” Lex tilted his head inquisitively, rising from the table. “Conner J. Kent.”
“Get the fuck away from me,” Kon barked, finding his voice and hoping it didn’t shake. He moved quickly behind the kitchen island, putting a barrier between him and Lex.
“Now Conner, that’s not a very polite way to speak to your father.” Lex tutted, grabbing his jacket and rolling down his sleeves.
“You are not my father,” Kon growled. “Back off.”
Lex Luthor is supposed to be in prison, but he's sitting at the Kent's kitchen table when Kon arrives home from school.

Clark’s glasses had been knocked off in the blast, and looking at his face was…strange, to say the least. The effect made Jimmy’s eyes ache and his stomach flip. He noticed how Clark had straightened his posture, and, after pushing his hair back, how one stubborn curl fell back on his forehead.
In which the Daily Planet crew goes on a road trip, Clark’s identity is revealed, and no one can catch a break.

Summary
When Clark arrived at the office, running late again, Lois didn’t wait to slide her chair over to his desk. From the sparkle in her eye, he knew something was up.
“So, I have an assignment for you, rookie.” Lois said, as a way of greeting.
She had already been working at The Daily Planet when Clark was hired, so they had a running joke about her being his superior. Occasionally, it came up in the bedroom. Though, it was more commonly used as a way of teasing him at work, especially when they had been keeping their relationship under wraps.
“You know I have to talk to the mayor about the pipe.” Clark responded, already scribbling in the notepad he kept on his desk.
“This is a little more exciting than broken pipes.”

Summary
Kara Zor-El, or Kara Kent as she's known on Earth, was scared. She was scared, anxious, depressed, and trying her best to forget her past by any means necessary. Clark didn't know how to help her anymore; he had exhausted all his options already. And that gutted him.
For over ten years, ever since Kara’s ship crashed to Earth, Clark has devoted his life to protecting and taking care of his cousin, treating her like his own daughter because that's what she deserves. But he doesn't think he's been doing a very good job. Clark had the privilege of grieving a life he never had; he was just a baby when he was sent away from Krypton. Kara didn't have that privilege. She was ten years old when their planet was destroying itself. She went to school, had friends, remembered her parents, and knew about Kryptonian culture firsthand instead of through the crystals Clark inherited when he crashed. She was grieving the life she lost.
(My crack-fic idea of Clark raising Kara as his daughter and a bit of the relationship background from the one scene we saw in the Superman 2025 movie.)
(Title is from the song "My Little Girl" By Tim McGraw. Feels fitting, I think.)
