Summary
Apparently, Mr. Oz decided psychologically torturing a 15 year-old for six months was no longer "cool." And now Tim's paying the price for that, because instead of killing him like any good, self-respecting villain would, he's dropped him back on Earth with an apology and a snack.
Or,
It's been six months for Tim. It's been 10 years for Tim's family.
I'm sure it will all be fine.

Summary
He closed his eyes.
Bruce had stopped barely one full step past the doorway, but he was moving now, each step bringing him closer to Clark. With no outside sound to filter through, and with his eyes tightly closed, Clark's whole world finally narrowed entirely to Bruce. His surefooted steps. His steady breathing. The beautiful thrum of his heartsong, perfectly unique to him, perfectly composed and in control. The sound of ruffling fabric as he unbuttoned the cuffs of his sleeves and rolled them up.
The feel of his callous-rough fingertips, gently reaching out to trace a path along Clark’s jawline.
Clark shuddered at the touch, at the trail of fire left behind where Bruce’s fingers had slid across his skin. He wanted to lean into it desperately. He didn't.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered instead. His chest ached.
Bruce pressed his palm flat against Clark’s cheek. “I know,” he said. And then, “Red lights on.”
Or: After a difficult case on another planet, Clark deals with his guilt by not sleeping or taking care of himself or talking to his partner. When it all comes crashing down, Bruce finally intervenes.

Summary
The staff meeting after Cat had broken her foot had involved a lot of reassigning, since she couldn’t exactly do the usual society beat with her foot in a boot. So much that Clark hadn’t really thought twice when Perry had said “and Kent, you’ll take the new Wayne foundation piece,” because sure, he liked working the philanthropy stories occasionally. It wasn’t until they’d gotten back to their desks that Lois had burst into a fit of snickering and said “oh, I would pay money to see how you’re going to handle Bruce Wayne for two weeks,” and Clark had realized how majorly screwed he was.
-
On a two-week assignment, Clark does his best to figure out Bruce Wayne. Bruce does his best to make sure he can't. Unfortunately, they're just too good at working together, even when they don't know it.For Superbat Week 2024, day 1: identity shenanigans.

Summary
“How could you let that happen, Dickface? You're the firstborn, you should be taking care of this!” Red Hood screamed, his gun begging to be used. Oh, so it was one of those hallucinations.
He could work on it.
Dick shrugged. “I wasn’t even in Gotham when it happened. The prison break…”
“Screw the prison break, idiot. You let an alien alpha get close to Bruce! What the fuck!”
(Wherein despite everything, Bruce is still the omega who raised Jason, and doesn't tolerate strange aliens coming near his mother.)

Summary
That glow is gone, now. Gone from Dick’s skin, gone from inside him. It used to shine out of him, out of all the cracks the world put in him. But now Bruce looks down at him, and he is as dark and cold as a snuffed star. That’s what gets to him the most—not how cold the morgue is under its colorless fluorescent lighting, or the cloying smell of formaldehyde that clogs his throat. It’s how still Dick is, on the cold, sterile surface of the examiner’s table. It’s unnatural. The boy never learned how to sit still.
---
On a dewy Sunday morning in April, Dick Grayson, trust fund baby and local celebrity, is found dead at the tender age of 25. His abrupt passing sends his hometown, the sleepy beach town of Gotham, into a tizzy--and his former guardian, old money stalwart Bruce Wayne, reeling. But as Bruce struggles to come to terms with his ward's death, it rapidly becomes clearer and clearer to him that there's something off with this tragedy--no, this "town"--no, this entire reality...
