Summary
Something cold and hard slides into his side. “Don’t move.” A voice says, startling Buck into compliance. Athena looks up, arm still around the girl who locks eyes with the man shoving a gun in Buck’s side. A hand grips Buck’s other shoulder, holding him in place.
“Buck.” Athena warns, like she’s afraid he’s going to try anything.
“I’m not moving.” Buck snaps out for both Athena and the gunman’s sake.

Summary
"Were you aware that LuthorCorp was using Wayne technology in their illegal weapons programs?"
For the first time, Bruce looked genuinely surprised. "Those contracts were terminated."
"When? Before or after Luthor's crimes became public?"
Bruce was quiet for a long moment, his fingers drumming against the arm of his chair. "I'd have to check with our legal department about the specific timeline."
"So you don't know?"
Bruce was silent.
Gotham's drowning, Batman's bleeding, and a nosy reporter won't stop asking why.
Three years after the flood, a rot festers, born from the stragglers of Riddler's movement.
The Sons of Gotham, neo-Nazis with mysteriously deep pockets, rise from the grime. Bruce bleeds for a city that keeps sinking.
Enter Clark Kent: infuriatingly earnest, maddeningly handsome, and asking questions Bruce can't answer.
When threats grow too big for one city, Batman reluctantly teams up with Superman. Saving Gotham wasn't hard.
Letting someone help? Letting someone in? Easier said than done.

Summary
Bruce never intended to be a father, but he also didn't expect to see himself reflected in a circus boy who watched his parents die. When a meta announces himself in Metropolis, things get far more complicated--and more dangerous--than Bruce could have anticipated.
__
“I am one-hundred percent certain that Clark Kent of the Daily Planet is the civilian persona of the Metropolis metahuman, Superman.”
Dick stares blankly at the screens. Then, he shoos Bruce over and starts to click through the data, astonishment growing. “Oh my god,” he begins, eyes wide. Bruce grimaces and nods, wondering how best to console Dick for the mistake he made in setting up the interview today. Then, Dick’s face splits into a grin and he squeals. “Are you telling me that I met Superman today? That’s so cool!”
Bruce stares at his son, trying to piece together where, in the past few years, he went wrong. “You’re grounded.”

Summary
Whenever someone reached for him - to lift the frost from his skin - he recoiled. To a frozen man, warm water burned.
And if warmth burnt him - well, Kal was the sun itself.
A blazing orb of heat, leaving third degree burns with each gold-flecked laugh that danced around his head, and each soft smile that made his chest ache with a longing he had never known before.
Kal’s brightness scorched him. It left blistered skin and branding scars, and turned every breath into a mouthful of volcanic ash and heat. And yet, Bruce ached for it - let the wax of his wings melt beneath the radiance, surrendering to the slow, sorrowful descent into the sea below.
- - -
Bruce has been tearing himself apart, pieces scattered. Clark tries to pick them back up.

The moment the words left his mouth, a heavy silence settled over the room. Everyone waited, maybe a long sigh or one of Bruce’s usual low, soft grunts. But nothing. Stillness. And then a sniffle… wait a minute, is he crying?
or
After a difficult week, it was just one final blow that pushed Bruce to his breaking point. But thankfully, even in his darkest moments, he wasn’t alone.

"I hurt you again! I let another being cloud my mind, and I hurt you again-"
Gloved hands with the sharpest of nails graze the aliens skin. Ice blue hues full of soft compassion that no one had ever seen in such a way.
"You could hurt me while under control a million times, and I would never love you any less."
Or,
The batkids are subjected to the sight of a mind controlled Superman essentially trying to murder their father.
Low and behold, this wasn't the first time it's happened.

“I’m here to bring you this.”
Clark set down a protein green smoothie in front of him.
“It’s from that place you told me about. I’m eighty-five percent sure I got the flavor right,” he added quickly, before Bruce could object. Bruce stared at the cup like it was a foreign object.
Or, Clark has picked up a habit of doting on Bruce, and truthfully, he has no intention of ever stopping.

Summary
Even after a year of dating, Clark and Bruce are still taking things slow—especially so when it comes to introducing Clark to Bruce’s eight-year-old adopted son, Dick. They decide it would be best if Clark only showed up as Superman for a while, pretending to just be a friend, while Dick adjusted to another new change.
And yet, it’s not long before Dick and Superman are so close they're sharing secrets. Secrets such as that Dick believes his very much gay father is, in fact, homophobic.

Summary
Clark heard it just as he stepped out the front entrance of The Daily Planet’s building. The sun had already set, a chilly autumn breeze dragging through his coat. It had been a late evening for him, catching up on drafts for his next few articles before some other emergency stole his attention from his work.
“Kal-el.”
He straightened, perking towards Gotham. Something cold gripped his heart as he listened for that familiar heartbeat. The voice was unmistakable; low, rough, and steady, one that grounded Clark almost as quick as Ma’s. In battle, hearing it usually meant there was a plan, that Clark could worry a little less about details; because the man he trusted the most – with his life and the lives of his family – had it under control. It soothed Clark when he faltered, bolstered him when his strength wavered, and steadied him when he teetered on the edge of sensory madness.
And that voice sounded afraid.
Clark was suited up and hurtling through the air towards Gotham before Bruce whispered again.
“Kal–” came his quiet gasp. “I’m sorry.”

Summary
"In any other circumstance what you're doing now would be... reasonable. But this is based off a hunch. Do you have proof that the Riddler and the penguin are actually planning something together?"
Bruce was glaring at him again. He grated his teeth together in contemplation.
"I don't have solid proof, but I know-"
Superman held up a hand, pausing Bruce mid-sentence.
"No, you don't know. You don't know if they have anything planned at all. But what I do know," Clark moved closer to Bruce, step by step. "Is that you have to go to sleep." He loomed over Bruce. "And I'm not asking anymore."
or
Bruce won't go to sleep, so Clark has to step in.

Summary
"Where is Superman?" Dick asks with a small frown.
"What do you mean?"
"Aren't you dating him?" Dick tilts his head with genuine curiosity. "He should be here taking care of you. I thought Superman helped people, especially his boyfriend."
"What-- we-- we're not..." Bruce starts to stammer, not sure how to even answer this.
"Are you and Superman in a fight?" Dick presses, eyes big, voice dropping into a hushed whisper, "Because when me and my best friend at school fight we say mean things, and then we say we're sorry."
(Or, Battinson trying to be a good parent to Dick while fighting against his feelings for Clark Kent. Dick's there to save the day.)

Summary
For now, he had Bruce. For now, he wouldn't be rejected for what he does. He wouldn't be turned away if he never asked, so why ask? He would contend himself with the scraps of affection Bruce gave him, and he would bury the ocean of agony underneath his skin until nobody could see it.
He curled around Bruce, and felt the other man shift in his sleep, moving closer to Clark and huddling against his body heat. Bruce looked a little like a kitten, skittish and shy, testing out the limits of what it was allowed to do. Clark smiled into Bruce’s black hair, and closed his eyes.
This had to be enough, it had to be.
Aka., The phrase 'Communication is Key' somehow slips from two of the greatest minds in the planet. These are the (stupid) consequences.

when people fall in love with someone's flowers instead of their roots they'll never know what to do when autumn comes
OR
“I meant what I said, B.” Clark smiled at him with such warmth that it nearly made him sick. “I love you.”
Bruce averted his gaze, thoughts all over the place, trying to word what he wanted to say. That Clark shouldn’t. That he doesn’t deserve it. That it’ll pass.
That Bruce loves him too.
He said none of the above; his voice wouldn’t allow it. Instead, “Why?”

Bruce wondered whether he should look over at the other side of the bed. Maybe- just maybe… No, he shouldn’t look yet, Bruce didn’t think he could handle it. He rolled into a sitting position, tangled sheets pooling around his waist. Taking a deep breath, Bruce glanced over his shoulder to the other side of his bed.
Empty again.
He sighed. He should have known better, especially by now. Reaching up towards the ceiling, Bruce waited to hear the satisfying crack in his back. It never came. Another disappointment on top of an already disappointing morning.
