That Sweet, Kansas Air by CaptainDeadShips for WorkingChemistry

Summary
Kansas is crisp air, warm rays of sunshine, and comfort soothing his soul with each breath.
There’s not supposed to be any worry about it. No matter what’s happened in the world, where he's been, what he’s seen, what he was unable to prevent, the farm is still there. His mother is still waiting for him to come past that door and welcome him in as if he’s never left to begin with. His father is still out in the field on the old tractor, and when he sees Clark he’ll smile and say “Put your boots on son”.
What it’s not supposed to be, is a dreary quiet save for the soft sound of sniffles and the creaking of the branch that holds the old tire swing swaying in the breeze. The sun may be high in the sky today and the weather near stifling, but it feels like the darkest clouds have set up shop overhead.

Clark Kent comes home to find the littlest Wayne heartbroken and lonely. He has to fix it.

Summary
"No, Richard wasn’t some lowlife criminal. He was hiding something, he always had been, but he had also been leaving clues all these years, beneath those kind eyes and that smile that men would go to war for: he left them intentionally, carefully, for someone smart enough and attentive enough to see them.
Mark had seen them. Richard Grayson was begging to be saved.
And somehow this guy was the key."
Or; Driven by obsession, a former acquaintance of Dick Grayson’s hatches a plan to kidnap a man who has been spending an awful lot of time in Grayson’s company lately. Things don’t go to plan, and soon he has both of them chained up in a warehouse by the Gotham Harbour.

Summary
“The President gave the order. He gets a pardon.”
“An experimental pardon,” Val corrected. “And the President needs to look just as good as the rest of us. He’ll lean into that war hero image until the first disaster and poof! Tune changed. But guess who will get all of that blame?”
“We have very advanced technology to ensure that won’t happen,” Ross said.
“Thaddeus, Thaddeus,” she tutted. “That soldier has withstood every single torture method known to man. Chemicals, deprivation, solitary confinement. Literal brain injury! And he was barely kept in check. What do you think’s going to happen when he’s let loose? We can take bets on the number of casualties.”
Maybe she’d said that last part a little too gleefully. In any case, Ross narrowed his eyes. “Do you have a suggestion?”
----------
Bucky's pardon requires that he wear an artificially intelligent shock collar as a term of his release. Bucky accepts, knowing it's his only chance to get out and do some good in the world.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of people ready to severely misuse that power.
A retelling of TFATWS.
