    Summary

    On the Planet of his birth, Cloud had destroyed Sephiroth years ago. The reactors are long cold, the world is saved, and he and Tifa keep their little family in remembrance of the dead.

    In this new dimension, it's like the apocalypse Cloud remembers was half-averted. Mako's still around, ShinRa's in business, and Tifa supposedly died years ago under Cloud's JENOVA-fueled rampage. The other problem? Everyone's alive, looking for answers, and this dimension is a little more different than it seems.

    It's hard, taking out reactors while being hunted across the continent by the people who are apparently your soulmates. It's hard, and no one understands.

    Summary

    Bruce and Clark, forgetting, never having known, pretending to forget, being reminded, remembering, learning—and, eventually, figuring some things out.

    Or: six times Bruce and Clark did and didn't know, did and didn't remember, in various ways; plus the time all that added up to something new. (Written for Superbat Week 2025.)

    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

    Alfred will always ensure Wayne Manor is well-protected. Even if it means dipping into skills he amassed for an entirely different profession.

    (or, the one where Bruce Wayne is a former doctor turned blissful soccer dad of seven, Alfred is a butler-grandfather who got in way too deep, and Wayne Manor is the safest place in Gotham for a reason)

    Summary

    It's apparent to Bruce almost immediately that his time at the 15th Annual Gotham-Metropolis An Evening of Giving Charity Gala won't be wasted.

    (Or: Bruce wears fishnets, for purely strategic reasons. Clark finds out. They bang about it, and also manage to figure out they're in love with each other, despite their own best efforts.)
