Summary
For Superbat Week 2025. Prompt: Time-Travel
With the advent of the new Superman movie, Clark returns to visit Bruce in The Great In-Between. They reminisce over old friends and old faces and new stories yet to be told.
oO
“What are they calling you? Outside.” Bruce asks.
Clark tilts his head, listening. “David.” he says. “Sometimes Henry, but it’s David now.”
“David.” Bruce says. “It’s a nice name. A strong name.”
“A kind name.” Clark says. “It reminds me of Joe and Jerry a bit. Of old times.”
“Old.” Bruce says. “Yes, we’re very old.”
“1939. Eight-six years.” Clark smiles over the city, the landscape shifting in medium from moment to moment- flesh, ink, watercolor, lines of text, Ben-Day dots.
“They’re still talking about us. Still telling stories.”
Bruce grumbles. “They have nothing better to do.”
oOo
The more I read this the more I realize it's not truly time-travel- more of a meta fandom-aware character study. Enjoy it for what it is!

Summary
“You’ve made me pregnant.”
Clark blinked once again. He almost expected him to start laughing, but he already knew him perfectly well. Bruce wasn’t joking. He was absolutely serious. His face was pale as milk, and his hands trembled anxiously with every movement. He looked so lost and resigned; Bruce Wayne was clearly on the edge of tears, trying so hard to push them back. Clark swallowed and, yes you guessed it, he cursed under his breath.
“Fucking hell.”
-----
What if Clark and Bruce receive more than one miracle? Will their new relationship survive? Will they be able to overcome all difficulties and build a real family?

Summary
Swanwick gave Bruce a level, unamused look. "Mr. Wayne," he said. "Please tell me you know why you're here."
Bruce shrugged. "Won the lottery, and first-place prize is the government marries me off to an alien."
(Or: in a universe where Krypton took an extra thirty-odd years to implode, Kal-El was sent to Earth as an adult, in advance of the ship containing the only other surviving Kryptonians; and a quirk of Kryptonian law means negotiating refuge, potential resettlement, and an alliance with the Kryptonians in general is dependent on marriage between a Kryptonian and a human. Bruce did what it took to make sure that that human would be him, instead of some poor unprepared civilian—but his efforts to learn more about the aliens, what they want and why they're here, and how, if necessary, to kill them ... don't go the way he's expecting them to.)

Summary
The young man was announced to be the last of them, of an ancient civilization of men who lived in Krypton, the mythical state theorised to be located in the northernmost regions of the world. He was seen as an attraction, a new name and face destined to spill his blood in the Metropolis Arena. He was introduced with the simple name of Superman, which the other nobles in the room spoke with intrigue and slight reverence in their worlds, but Bruce could sense the mockery in Luthor’s voice.
This wasn’t meant to be a celebration; it was humiliation disguised as goodwill.
Bruce wondered what the young man had done to warrant such a thing. Knowing Lex, it probably wasn’t much.
A story of two men finding their place in a world that seemed far too large for them in each other.

Summary
The Bats have always been prepared. Weapons, armor, vehicles, medicine, poisons, blood sequencing machinery... you name they have it. But lately, they've been trying to gain a foothold outside of Gotham (just in case of emergencies, you know how it is). What better city to start with than Metropolis, Gotham's sunnier sister city?
It's just one more safe-house. This one's just in Superman's city.
The safe-house Bruce chose does have a particularly... welcoming neighbor. Clark Kent.
What a strangely welcoming person. Who looks exactly like Superman… Wait a damn minute! This is Superman!

Summary
Kal-El was a traveler.
But not by choice.
He voyaged past the stars to Themyscira for safety. Then he journeyed away from Paradise Island before he became too old to live under their laws. Finally, he trekked through Man’s World to understand himself.
But for all that he traveled, all the friends he made, all the feats he accomplished for his planet, he never found a place to stay still. He never found a place to call home.
Until he met Bruce.
An Elseworld look at ‘what-if Kal-El landed on Themyscira and the Amazons raised him?’

Summary
Bruce's eyes widened as he looked over at Kal, his mouth hanging open slightly. “You weren't lying, were you?”
“I told you,” Kal said, smiling with amusement. “I'm from another planet. I crash landed in Kansas about three weeks ago.”
Bruce looked from Kal to the Batcomputer’s screen and back again. The expression on his face was something Kal couldn’t place. Maybe it was the cowl covering half of his face, but if Kal wasn’t mistaken, the look on Bruce’s face was something akin to wonder, or maybe adoration.
Kal felt his core starting to leap in its casing. He’d only been on Earth for a short time, and yet he had a feeling that no one would ever look at him the same way that Bruce did.
+ + + + +
In which a mysterious android falls to Earth with no memory of who he is, so he finds the one man who might be able to put him back together.

Summary
Alfred sighed and closed the book around one finger to keep his place. "Master Bruce. Please tell me you aren't going to that horrid little club in the Narrows again."
For all that he was Batman, trained in the art of bald-faced lying, Bruce managed to shuffle his feet and twitch his eyes toward the front door suspiciously. "I'm… not going to the horrid little club in the Narrows?"
"Yet, here you are, dressed for the club," said Alfred flatly.
Fed up with Bruce's playboy act, Alfred signs him up for an exclusive dating service, hoping that he will at the very least make a friend. On the other side of the bay, Lois gifts Clark with a voucher for that very same service, insisting that he needs to move on from their mutual breakup.
Neither one of them really wants a relationship, but they do want their loved ones to be happy. So they come to a mutually beneficial agreement.
It very quickly becomes something else entirely.

Summary
He watched with a twisted sense of curiosity, wondering what exactly Ivy had cooked up and whether or not there might be repercussions, or if it needed to be mixed into a liquid to be effective.
He really should have put on a rebreather. Something to filter the air in his lungs, but even as he reached for it, he knew that he wouldn’t get it on in enough time that he would avoid getting some of the particles in his lungs.
“Pamela,” Bruce said, acknowledging her. They didn’t call each other by their first names when Bruce was in the suit, it kept a layer of separation that he needed, but, for the first time in a long time, he felt a quiet wave of panic wash over him.
There wasn’t enough time to calculate the possible outcomes. He watched as spores puffed up into the air, smaller than even his specially designed mask could filter out, only able to see the aggregate of them shimmering and bright under the arcs of moonlight that filtered through sap filled cracks in the vine structure.
“Bruce,” Ivy breathed out. “You have to go. I don’t know what the spores will do if they aren’t diluted. If they are allowed to make their way into your airways.” -

Summary
Brucie!™ is a volunteering and virtual pet mobile application in which the user tends to a cartoon version of Bruce Wayne. Brucie, as a party boy and an idiot, is always falling into mishaps. The user’s job is to complete volunteering tasks in order to care for Brucie and earn in-game currency to purchase items, clothing, and accessories to decorate him and his home.
When Clark started using the Brucie!™ app, he intended it to be a fun and easy way to volunteer for a good cause. He didn't anticipate how quickly he would get sucked into Bruciemania.
For separate reasons, Bruce didn't anticipate how easy it was to get sucked into the app either.

For weeks, Bruce claws through shadows and dead ends, obsession carving him down to the bone. Finding Clark isn’t a mission. It’s a vow. A promise. A confession he’s never spoken aloud.

Summary
Bruce had never been one for trivial matters such as whom he took to his bed, but he did have one exception; vampires, or nobility of any sort.
It wasn’t as if he was entirely against them. But he had his reasons to avoid the higher classes, especially the vampires. ‘Twas simply in his blood to do so, and he did with ease whenever possible. That was until a certain vampire plucked him out of a crowd and had their eyes set on Bruce quite insistently—not to bed the whore, to Bruce’s dismay—but to buy his company, drink of his blood, and stay the daylight in the man’s room. The only things the strange vampire named Clark had asked of him.
It was only for one night, and the fickle creature would leave and never be seen again. Then Bruce would be back to his work as both a prostitute and Batman.
But he was wrong. The vampire kept coming back. Refusing his bed at every encounter, merely asking the same as he’d had the previous night: company, a meal, the night with Bruce.
And at the very same time, the murders of the courtesan's in the Narrows began.

Summary
Bruce finds out that a rival company plans to release a toy line of the Justice League. Said rival company is named LexCorp and a humanitarian's worst nightmare and there’s no way he will let the League be attached to people as abhorrent as that. So he quickly has all the superhero names trademarked. The problem? Now he actually has to use the JL and its assorted heroes in commerce somehow or risk losing the trademark. Hence, Wayne Enterprises launching a toy line.
Which would be totally fine if the Justice League actually knew that Bruce Wayne and Batman are the same person... As it is, they're not pleased that this bimbo billionaire is profiting off of them. They demand to get a say in the matter (also, why is the Superman action figure arguably the hottest piece of plastic ever seen, what the fuck?).
