Summary
“Every year,” he said.
Rocky tilted. “Question?”
“We should do this every year,” Grace said. “All three of us.”
Rocky made the sound that meant, obviously, this was always the plan—Grace is slow sometimes, but gets there eventually.
Adrian made the sound Grace had learned, over careful months of listening, meant yes.

Summary
Marvel looked up from what appeared to be a granola bar. "Hmm?"
"Red Hood is operating in your city," Batman said, in the voice he used when he was being very careful not to let an emotion into his tone, which paradoxically conveyed more emotion than if he'd just yelled.
"Oh!" Marvel said. "Yeah, I know."
People very rarely tell Batman "No." Nobody expected Captain Marvel, sunshine man, to join the very short list.

Bruce asks, clearly noting the tremor in Clark’s voice, “Clark, what happened?”
Clark lets out a heavy sigh as he stares through the windshield of his car, glasses balanced precariously on his nose. He says, tired and hurt, “It’s about Dick.”

Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”

Summary
For the past six months, it's been good. It's been great. It's been fucking amazing, actually, even with dealing with the press, even with hiding his night job, because he'd trade close to anything for the date nights at fancy restaurants and the cuddling (cuddling! actually cuddling!) during movie nights and sometimes, when it's early, just before Bruce leaves, and they're curled together in the darkness, and Bruce just talks, Clark just listens, and it feels like maybe the jagged piece of cracked stone in his chest that Bruce calls a heart might actually be worth something, for once. And oh yeah, the sex is incredible, but watching Clark interact with his kids, even with how infrequently it happens by necessity? That's better than anything that could happen in bed.
And now— But now— There's Clark. Gorgeous, intelligent, caring, loving and lovely Clark Kent standing in the center of the room, face hopeful, glasses held in his hands as he shares his biggest secret with Bruce.
Bruce freezes.

Summary
The purr is called urvishulahdh. The cultural anthology tells him that it can be used to calm children, or even as a self-soothing mechanism, but it is most common between family members as an expression of contentment, tranquility, peace.
Clark stares at the 3D anatomy diagram of the throat, the auxiliary vocal cords layered underneath the human-like main set, as they slowly vibrate, and asks the Fortress in halting Kryptonian to play the associated audio.
Kryptonians purr. Clark purrs, and then doesn't. Until he needs to.

Summary
In some weird twisted sort of way Bruce figures, he should be pleased. He had crafted the Brucie persona so that no one would ever suspect him of being Batman. And clearly it worked since Clark flat out refused to believe it.
Sadly, the effectiveness of his cover identity was now costing him his closest friendship. Oh, the irony.

Summary
Geralt's muscles heave backwards, flinging him down against the bed. He tries to struggle upwards but it feels like he’s been buried beneath a mountain. Every inch of him is pressed completely still. His eyes close, and he’s left in the dark with nothing but his racing heart for company. He’s not tired, he’s never been less tired. But the curse wants him to sleep, it seems. It’ll force him to lie here until he does. How much of his life will it start to control, now that he’s declared war against it? Now that he knows it’s lurking in his bones, now that it doesn’t have to be subtle?
He swallows. Takes a long, deep breath, gathering every bit of courage he has to stop himself from slipping back into panic. He still has control over his lungs. He still has that.
For now.
(Or: Witchers don't retire. They stay on the Path until it kills them. They hunt monsters and they want nothing from life. This isn't exactly by choice.)

Summary
“Who gave you a baby?” Dick demanded, the instant Bruce opened the front door, eyes drawn immediately to the sobbing infant on Bruce’s hip that he gently bounced to no avail. At the same time, Bruce muttered, “I told you, it’s fine, you didn’t have to come.”
Dick rolled his eyes and pushed past him. Noted the scattered blankets, baby clothing, and dirty dishes gracing nearly every surface of the lake house with a glance. “I figured that out when you hung up on me. My question still stands: who in their right mind gave you an infant?”
Bruce opened his mouth and then shut it. Took a deep breath which he blew out slowly. The plain white dress shirt he favored on the weekends was streaked with what looked like pea puree, sweet potato, and snot. “A desperate alien ship with no other options.”
“Yeah, that scans.”

Summary
It's been six months since Bruce's actions led to the death of Superman. Six months, two weeks, four days. He could count it to the hour. He's handling it as well as could be expected when he finds himself in a Batcave that is unfamiliar to him, a world that is unfamiliar to him. Superman is still alive, Dick is still talking to him. The Justice League has been around for years, not months. And there is another Batman, who wants more answers than Bruce is willing to give.
When Batman v Superman!Bruce ends up in the comics world, he'll have to navigate another version of himself, his family and the man he tried to kill if he wants to get home.
