    Summary

    “Bruce, I… I know the timing isn’t great, with you just taking in Jason and… everything else, but…”

    He takes another breath.

    “When things are more settled, would you like to get dinner with me sometime?”

    Bruce looks over at him and furrows his brow.

    “Clark, we have dinner together all the time. We’re having dinner together on Sunday.”

    “Not… not with the kids.” Clark takes another breath. “I meant just- just you and me.”

    He smiles nervously.

    “On a date.”

    ---------------------------
    Clark asks Bruce out.

    Bruce... doesn't handle it well.

    Summary

    He sighed to himself and downed the glass of champagne he'd been nursing—non-alcoholic, but enough to convince anyone who might give him a passing glance. He hated this, every time he had to do it. There was one surefire way to derail anyone who began wondering whether maybe Bruce Wayne was doing more than just donating funds to Batman.

    His tie hung loose around his neck, shirt unbuttoned to halfway down his chest, laughing too easily, pressing close to everyone he spoke to, whispering in ears, playing the part, until he turned and froze on the spot.

    Clark Kent, in his signature ill-fitting suit, stood holding a notebook and pen, staring at him with barely-concealed glee.

    Bruce cringed internally. He hated this. He especially hated when it had to be witnessed by someone he actually respected.

    or: After a Gala, Bruce and Clark end up in bed together. They're friends, just helping each other out, no strings attached. Which would be great, if Bruce hadn't been halfway to head-over-heels since the day they met.

    Summary

    “You know,” Caleb says to the ceiling, “we will have to tell the Nein eventually.”

    Essek tenses against him. “Tell them what, exactly?”

    “That we are… I don't know. Whatever this is.”

    [In which the assistant professor of civil law at Soltryce Law School reserves a few hours of his Conthsen evenings for the youngest partner of Kryn Mirimm Thelyss & Associates, and still finds himself wanting more than he should.]

    Summary

    If Essek were to kill Caleb, he would do it with a spell.

    None of the intimate agony of feeling the last flutters of his heart with his own skin. He cannot even afford himself the painful honesty of knowing that if he were to do it, it would be impersonal and practiced, something Essek has done to many before and will do to many others. This knowledge is not enough to stop him imagining it.

    In the months following the events of Cognouza and the Somnovem, Essek fails to come to terms with the fact that he is a dangerous man.

    Summary

    Oh, now it makes sense. Really, if he’d been thinking about it he could’ve caught onto it ages ago. His coming-home routine is, at least by Xhorhasian romance novel standards, bordering on openly lewd.

    __

    A 5+1 (with a prologue and a bonus!) of Essek's I-thought-it-was-a-secret hair pulling kink.
