    Summary

    It sits in his chest growing roots in to muscle and bone and sinew behind his ribs and up his throat. It's lead in his bones and pinpricks on his skin and air trapped in his lungs; oppressive and burdensome and ever present, always present, always always always.

    Some days he Doesn't Want To Be Here and by some days he means most days but what other choice does he have? It's not like he can just stop.

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne wears a thousand masks—billionaire, playboy, savior, ghost. None of them fit quite right.
    Clark Kent only wears one, and even that feels like a lie.

    They’ve crossed paths at fundraisers, galas, and crime scenes. Different people, same emotions.

    What began as fleeting glances and heat-pressed bodies in darkened hallways becomes something else—something neither of them know how to name.

    Clark wants more.
    Bruce only knows how to pull away.

    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

    “Why would I? You know damn well, Clark. Why the hell wouldn’t I? I can’t be Batman anymore, and what the fuck is Bruce Wayne any good for? I don’t want to be Bruce, and— and if I’m not Batman and I don’t want to be Bruce, what else is left?”

    Clark feels like his ribcage is being pulled apart, like someone has wedged the jaws of life between his bones and nicked his heart in the process. His chest is flooding, and it’s difficult to speak when his throat is filled with blood.

    “Be Dick’s father,” he says, quietly, desperately, frantically. “Be his father, Bruce. He needs you.”

    ***

    Or: A man who has spent his life in mourning never quite learned how to grieve.

    Summary

    The man swings—can’t do that without a beating heart—and Batman’s foot collides with his chest. It sends the man careening to the ground, a resounding crack filling the alley as head meets stone but his chest still rises and falls. It rises and falls. In the recording, the man’s chest is still rising and still falling—can’t do that without a beating heart.

    He pulls the gauntlet logs up again. The pulse was fast but not alarmingly so, and most importantly, definitely there.

    He did not kill anybody. He is sure of this, and yet—

    ***

    Or: Bruce knows that he didn't kill anybody. He really does. But would it really hurt just to make sure?

    Forty was an achievement. One that many people never could achieve.

    Bruce's made it past his sixteenth, his twenty-first, and his thirtieth. They didn't fly past him, but he did it.

    He'll do it again. Had to.

    Summary

    Bruce precisava de uma boa noite de sono, mas os pesadelos de ser o Batman detinham esse luxo, restando permanecer acordado sempre que podia, enfrentando todos os crimes de Gotham, mas ao se deparar com eventos distintos durante sua vida, um pedido de ajuda o leva até o cativeiro de um perpétuo aprisionado por quase cem anos.

    Summary

    “If this is about your armor, Barry’s gear is doing the same thing,” Clark says, frowning, “It doesn’t seem like he’s trying to move it. It just…wants to move toward him, I guess.”

    Fascinating. Bruce takes a deep breath so he doesn’t scream. He can feel every single piece of shrapnel, bullet fragment, and medical implant in his body trying to move toward the man, inching one millimeter at a time through his flesh.

    Summary

    Beyond the onslaught of comestibles are Ma and Pa Kent. They’re seated next to each other, which isn’t traditional, and also makes this feel even more like a job interview Bruce is failing. He thinks. He’s never actually had a job interview, never mind failed at one. That may be part of the problem.

    “So,” he begins, a tentative foray into the awkward silence broken only by the sounds of Jonathan’s fork scraping mashed potatoes onto his plate. “How’s the, ah, harvest this year?”

    “Bad,” Jonathan says, and does not elaborate.

    Summary

    When he’s thirteen, and there’s other kid heroes popping up, and the Justice League is starting to reckon with whether they’re okay with any kid being a hero at all, Clark talks to him. That’s how Dick realises.

    They go to a diner. They always go to a diner, when Clark wants to talk. Clark feels safe being emotionally vulnerable in diners for reasons Dick can’t piece together yet.

    "It was your idea," Clark asks, once the waitress has brought their food, enough other people already eating to create a comfortable background hum of noise, "Wasn’t it? Being Robin?"

    Гарячий вітер дме прямо на нього, намагаючись знести його, зупинити, пісок усюди де тільки він може бути. Очі запалені, горять від сліз. У роті пересохло, пісок дере горло і Джунхьок надривно кашляє. Але йде далі. Він не зупиняється.

    А пустеля усе тягнеться і тягнеться і краю їй усе ще нема.
