    Summary

    When Bruce’s eyes opened, meeting Clark’s gaze, the corner of his mouth tugged up.

    There he was.

    The man who was now a father to more than he could count on a single hand and a guardian to a whole planet, though he had more help now – with Clark at his side, and to a much greater extent, the League.

    Even if he sometimes looked like that twenty-something with too much money and too much faith, that version of Bruce didn’t carry the scars of years of heartbreaking, dogged, foolish determination. That young man hadn’t suffered the years of the infuriating crusade that anyone who loved Bruce had no choice but to believe in because it was a part of Bruce, as much as his arm, or his hair, was a part of him. To love Bruce was to love the angry and frightened little boy who would stop at nothing to make sure no one ever suffered as he did.

    And, God, Clark loved him.


    Bruce gets injured, Clark patches him up, and they're in love.

    That's it. That's the fic.

    Summary

    She crossed universes to save him today.

    That’s the thought that undoes him.

    She could’ve died. She would’ve, if things had gone differently. Another person, gone because of him.
    Lois—Lois—could’ve been dead because of him.

    A sob tears out of him without warning. He’s too far gone to be startled by it. Once it starts, there’s no stopping it. He can’t catch his breath no matter how hard he tries.

    Summary

    Bruce is here. Clark can’t see him, can’t hear him very well – but he’s here and he will know what to do. He will keep Clark safe.

    “Bruce? Bruce?” In an instant Clark is latching to the cape of Batman’s suit, hand following the fabric until it reaches his throat, then the stubbled jawline and accompanying frown of Bruce’s mouth. He can’t bring himself to remove his hand from the man’s face, the warm skin only thing keeping him tethered to his own body.

    “Yes, Clark. Give me a sitrep.” His voice is as serious as ever, and Clark latches onto the command as the only constant and familiar thing right now, even if his own words fail him.

    “I can’t – the purple goo, it’s, can’t see, burns, Bruce it burns so much – “

    There’s a gloved hand in his hair now, brushing a stray strand back. His hair is stuck to his forehead by all the sweat. Clark doesn’t sweat. “Okay, okay Clark. You’re going to be okay. C’mon, can you stand?” There’s a shoulder beneath his arm before he can answer, and Clark is glad for it.

     

    or

     

    Clark gets hurt on a mission and Bruce is there to take care of him.

    Summary

    “I can’t get it off me,” Clark whispered, turning his hand over so the blood embedded into his skin caught the fluorescent lights of the Cave, “Please, Bruce.”
