Summary
In the first issue of Justice League after the reboot, Batman told Green Lantern he had never met Superman before. This story takes that statement at face value--but what if Bruce Wayne had met him before?

There's Something So Lonesome About You by hoeforhoran28

Summary
"Your identity was supposed to be a secret. Not only to protect yourself (and probably least importantly yourself) but others. Your family, your friends. Everyone who stood a chance at being ripped apart by your decision to go out there everyday and put yourself in the crossfire.
Not that Bruce had anyone to protect, besides Alfred. But it was still a fucking given."
Or: Bruce has been Batman for two years and if he knew anything, it was that when you don a mask, you don it for a reason. An important reason that just doesn't seem to be as important to the rest of the League as it is to him. This is going to be a story about Bruce being coaxed into allowing others behind his carefully built walls. (Specifically one person.)

Summary
He raised a hand. Placed it gently on Clark’s shoulder, right near the base of his neck. Warm skin under his glove. Just a brief touch. A steady one.
And Clark—Clark melted.
His breath caught, barely audible, and then he let it out slowly. Like something inside him had come unclenched. His shoulders dropped beneath Bruce’s hand, posture softening almost imperceptibly. He didn’t move away. Didn’t flinch.
Bruce went still.
Or, Bruce notices Clark might need more than just kindness—and decides to give it to him.

Surely not?

Falling Far From the Tree by Imagined for Scarlet_Ribbons

Summary
Bilbo is an only child. He has never fallen in love, he has never made any particularly close friends, and most of his family still thinks he spends too much time in the woods to be worthy of the Baggins name. Even now, he is the only hobbit in a fellowship full of dwarves he can’t quite make heads nor tails of.
Fortunately, the dwarves also do not know what it means to be a Baggins; they only know what it means to be a Company. And, perhaps, that is exactly the thing they need to be.
Or: Bilbo and the dwarves.

Summary
Steve hadn’t meant for Eddie Munson to stay this long.
It was supposed to be a temporary thing — a guest room, a spare toothbrush, a warm bed while Eddie figured things out. But then one night turned into seven weeks, and somehow Steve found himself rearranging his grocery list around Eddie’s weird cravings and memorizing the sound of his laugh in every room.
He wasn’t supposed to fall in love with him.
But Eddie had a way of slipping past all the defenses Steve didn’t even know he still had. And Steve… well, he was good at keeping things running. Bad at talking about his feelings. Worse at admitting he wanted more.
Just a few nights. That’s how it started.
But Steve had never been good at letting go of the people he cared about. -

Summary
It is a myth that hobbits cannot swim. It’s a falsehood that started when a group of men saw a hobbit slip into a river and sink straight to the bottom. They did not see the young girl come back out. They assumed she drowned.
That, as stated above, is blatantly false. Hobbits can swim just fine, thank you. They can also breathe water, effortlessly switching from water to air as they switch environments. They spend the first years of their life almost always completely submerged. They could never drown.
For hobbits were created by the Valar, Ulmo, the Sea-King, the Lord of Waters, the Commander of Rains. All water comes from Ulmo and all water leads to Ulmo. The hobbits understand this intrinsically. They really can’t fathom why the rest of Middle Earth is confused about this.
Ulmo loves his little sprites. He loves their large feet, perfect for paddling through his waves. He loves their dainty size and voracious appetites made flawlessly to mimic the element he commands. Water is always hungry; even the smallest amount can make a large difference in the world.
He created them and thus welcomes each new life into the world within his realm.
All but one.

Earthen Rites by Morg47

Summary
Yavanna begged Eru for help caring for all the things that grew. She received the Ents and while she loved them dearly, they were good for tending to the trees and caring for the forests. She returned to Eru and pleaded with him once more. She needed a race of her own who would love not just the trees but everything that grew.
Eru gave her the hobbits and she adored them. They took to caring for her plants and all of the earth with such relish that she could not help but bless each and every one of them. And while all hobbits adored everything that grew, she gifted them with the power of understanding one plant each.
Bilbo was equally excited and nervous to discover his at his first Earthen Rite. He just never expected that his plant would take him so far from home and change his life forever.

Summary
Hollyhocking is a common hobbitish disease that crops up when a hobbit feels a sudden, deep, overwhelming affection for another. Its symptoms are in the flowers that erupt from the afflicted's lungs, and its cure is found in the fulfillment of the relationship, the removal of the flowers, or a separation from the object of one's affection.
As far as history goes, no Baggins has ever experienced a spontaneous, deep, overwhelming, unexpected attraction to anyone. As far as Bilbo Baggins is concerned, none ever will.

Summary
Clark felt a heat in his belly that he felt very rarely. In fact, the last time he felt it had to have been over nine months ago. The sensation was warm, fuzzy, and somehow dangerous around the edges. It prickled like a sparkler or the zap of an electric fence, and because of this, he tended to avoid it as soon as it turned up. Those two things couldn't hurt him, but this feeling… This feeling could. At least, it had before.
But maybe it was different this time. It had to have been. Maybe some sort of unattended admiration that had been brewing for the other man finally boiled over. He nodded internally. That had to be it, because it couldn't be that—
-or-
Valentine's Day is in a month, and Clark gets assigned to a story about Gotham's most eligible bachelor, Bruce Wayne, which is a perfect cover for him to figure out if he's Batman or not. Things get... Well, things get complicated.

Summary
Bilbo drops the Ring. He's glad to be rid of it. It had gotten so heavy lately, so unevenly were his pockets weighted that sometimes he would even stumble a bit, and Frodo would ask after his health, and Bilbo would shoo him outside and inspect the golden gleam of the Ring in solitude. He's so glad it's gone, really.
No matter, he turns out the door of Bag End to begin the trek to Rivendell, eyes shut against the harsh light of the full moon.
When he opens his eyes into the moonlight, Bag End is nowhere to be found. He turns and turns and turns and only finds forest ahead of him and the exit of a stony tunnel behind. He's out of breath, though he hadn't been running before. His pockets are unevenly weighted once again.The One Ring realizes that once it gets into Frodo and the Fellowship's hands, the power of friendship will certainly win out. So instead, it timeloops Bilbo Baggins. He cannot drop The Ring, give it away, or die without resetting the loop.

Summary
He’s just looking at him, so tenderly, so open. Bruce forces himself to meet the gaze, not sure what’s reflecting in his eyes. He hopes that whatever Clark can see in them is enough to keep him there.
“I’m not going to press,” Clark says, which at least isn’t him leaving. “If you don’t want this, that’s okay.”
This isn’t how it’s supposed to go. There is supposed to be a profound coming together. Clark is waiting and Bruce doesn’t know how to get there.
(Or Bruce needs some courage and a little nudge to get there and Clark is patient and unwavering.)

Summary
Clark swallows, then takes a tentative step forward, then another. Soon, he’s standing right in front of it, his heart pounding in his chest.
He takes a breath, then looks into the crib.
His stomach drops again.
“Oh.”
“I’m so sorry,” Lena says quietly. Her voice shakes a little.
Clark doesn’t reply. His eyes are locked on what’s in the crib, taking in the round cheeks, the small fists, the thick, dark hair.
He doesn’t need to breathe, technically, but he feels like all the oxygen in his lungs has been stolen anyway.
After what feels like an eternity, they scrunch up their face, wiggle a little, yawn, and then slowly open their eyes.
Blue.
Bright, otherworldly blue eyes, just like his own, stare back at him.

Months after Lex Luthor used a clone of him to help nearly destroy Metropolis, Clark finds out that Ultraman wasn't the only clone he made.Series
