Summary
It is not a single step, from darkness to light. It took millennia for Mairon to descend into the depths of darkness and it would take just as long for Sauron to climb back out.
But for one so lost, even the smallest kindness is a step in the right direction. The decision to shoo an insect rather than swat it, to spare a life, to tell the truth.
Sauron does not walk this path; he stumbles along it, graceless, meandering, unsure whether he even wishes to walk it at all. There are stumbling blocks, some of which he clears and others which send him tumbling back down.
In this story, Sauron chooses to tell the truth and clears one more obstacle. In the process, he might just gain a crutch.

Summary
Maybe he doesn’t have a filter because of how tired he is, his mind too chemically addled to properly stop and think. Maybe he wants to keep an eye on Clark, make sure Superman heals and recovers fully, rather than have him shower here at the Hall and send him on his way. Maybe—
Maybe he doesn’t want to be apart from him, and maybe he wants to take care of him, and maybe he wants to be taken care of by him, and maybe he’s just drained enough and just foolish enough and just good enough at making up excuses that this was going to be inevitable anyway.
Whatever reason it is— whatever combination of reasons, most likely— the outcome is the same.
“Come home with me,” Bruce offers.
or: bruce and clark have been fighting monsters as batman and superman for over two days. they're hungry, filthy, and exhausted— so, bruce thinks it only makes sense to invite clark over to the manor to eat, take a bath together, and sleep.

Summary
“You’re tired,” Bruce says, out of nowhere. “You think the world left you behind.”
Clark’s head is lulled forward, still in hiding, and he hums. It comes out rough. He doesn’t know why he’s doing it but his feet take him forward, to stand directly within arm’s reach of Bruce, he drops his hand and lets it hang by his side.
“Am I right, Clark?” Bruce says, hovering his palms above the curve of Clark’s shoulders.
With his head still turned away, Clark comes closer, nods once, eyes closed now.
“You’re tired.” Bruce repeats. “You’re tired, and no one else can see it.”
Or: Clark Kent, months after his resurrection, feels that the world he knew had left him behind, impulsively, he goes back to a cabin he used to live in during his travels before he became Superman. Bruce Wayne follows him there.

Parent Trap by i8thecookie

Summary
When Dick Grayson forces Clark to pretend to be his parent for a meeting with his headmaster, Clark expects an awkward conversation and maybe a lecture from Bruce afterward. He does not expect Gotham’s tabloids to decide he and Bruce Wayne are secretly together. But after one too many headlines about Bruce Wayne’s “mysterious co-parent,” pretending to date starts seeming like the easiest solution.
That would probably be less of a problem if Clark wasn’t already half in love with him.
