Summary
When Clark's mother sat him down one late winter's evening to explain just how different he really was, he realised that his soulmate most likely lay in the stardust haloed around what was once his planet. In the end, that was just another thing that told him he was alone.
When he met Lois, he began to believe that maybe he wouldn't be alone, because she was perfect. She was everything he could ever want.
Then Bruce Wayne said his words.

Summary
In the end, it was the Joker who killed him.
He'd not been aiming for the Bat - nor had he been aiming at anyone in particular. It was just a game he decided to play. A bomb, buried in the basement of the Gotham ballet. An unexpected guest in the form of arts patron Bruce Wayne.
And Clark? He was thousands of miles away, dealing with a tsunami in Japan.

Take Care of Business by TheResurrectionist for batwayneman

Summary
Summary: Bruce has a conference call with Wayne Enterprises. Having it at the Manor was, in hindsight, a really shitty idea.
“I don’t have your phone!”
The two boys began trading hits, yelling at the top of their lungs. Bruce turned back to the webcam just as Damian leapt on top of Tim’s back, a high-pitched battle cry torn from his lips.
“Mr. Hodges,” he said cheerfully, unflinching as Tim threw Damian into the wet bar sink. “Have you had a chance to examine the chart I pointed out?”
Inspired by this viral video and Batwayneman’s post on tumblr.

Summary
Martha Kent has lost her son; that's something Bruce can understand. A friendship that blossoms from grief and loss? Bruce can be selfish this once and allow himself at least that.
But then Martha gets her son back, and Bruce? Bruce doesn't. Living with what he's done and has had done to him? Maybe Bruce needs a little help with that. And it seems both Kents are willing to give Bruce as much time as he's willing to give them.
Until his son does come back. Both of them.

Summary
Matt doesn't have the heart to just leave him there in a graveyard, unable to stop reliving the death of his family. So he heaves Frank Castle over his shoulder and carries him across Hell's Kitchen, pausing for respite now and again.
His place is too far to go directly, so he leaves Frank outside the church before he breaks into St. Agnes to steal the first aid kit.
Over the course of the night, he repays the gift Frank gave him by telling him the story, by recklessly oversharing with a mass murderer.
