    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

    "Clark. What the hell is this," Lois asks, staring at Clark's Bruceman WIP folder. Clark's first instinct is to fly away, but that would still leave his fic on display for her to see. His second instinct is to blast a hole straight through his laptop screen with his heat vision, which isn't much better.


    Clark, in an attempt to make some spare cash, unintentionally stumbles into the world of superhero fanfiction, becomes a prolific writer for Gotham's OTP, and tries his best to fend off rival fans who want him to convert to superbat instead.

    Summary

    Clark wasn’t completely oblivious about him having a type. He was self aware enough to recognize when he was slipping into a habit. He knew he was done for the moment he heard Bruce laugh.

    Of course, at that point he’d been the Batman still.

    Summary

    “Ith the tooth fairy gonna come tonight?” Robin lisped.
    “Of course.”
    Clark’s gaze whipped back to Batman, a grin swallowing up his face.
    “The tooth fairy?” He asked.
    “Yes, Superman.” Batman said flatly. Clark didn’t need x-ray vision to know that he was raising a challenging brow. “The tooth fairy.”


    Robin loses a tooth on patrol under Superman’s watch. Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne’s ward, shows up to a gala with a missing tooth in the exact same spot. Surely this means nothing!
