Summary
“What are your superpowers again?”
“I’m rich.”
Clark knows that he should be grateful to Bruce for helping Mom get the farm back, for making it possible for Clark Kent, Daily Planet reporter, to exist again. And he is, he really is. In more ways than he can describe.
But something grates. A bitter, choking taste.
Thing is, he knows that Bruce wants him. Likes him, even. But Clark doesn’t allow himself to acknowledge it. He refuses to even think about it. Refuses to become Bruce’s kept man, Bruce’s whore.
Too bad that there’s a rising organised crime syndicate in Metropolis that makes avoidance impossible. Not to mention his usual job as Superman.
(An exploration on the very different forms of power that Bruce and Clark hold, and the implications of that on their relationship, with special emphasis on class issues. Or, the aftermath of Steppenwolf: in which the world still needs to be saved, but there is no longer a convenient villain left to punch.
Subtitled: “How to (and Why) Save a Life.” Please note the tags and the warnings inside.)
Complete.

“Hey, Bruce,” he said tentatively. “You have a lot of casual sex, right?”
Bruce raised one delicate eyebrow. “Mr. Kent,” he said slowly, amusement curling around the words, “are you calling me easy?”
(or: Not quite fresh out of a divorce, Clark attempts to have a hot girl summer. It goes well until it doesn't.)

Summary
“So Bruce’s longtime best friend had suddenly decided to start eye-fucking him at random. So what? Bruce was used to being the object of this kind of attention. It didn’t bother him.
It was—should have been fine. The issue was that it was Clark, and Bruce had enough trouble remaining rational about him at the best of times.”
or
Bruce and Clark go from friends to lovers the long, long, long way round. Featuring a number of revelations, a well-meaning but nosy son (Dick) and, most prominently, two adult men being completely and utterly useless.

Summary
The first thought Clark has as he blinks up at the indifferent gray concrete of the ceiling above him is that there must be kryptonite somewhere in the room. His head is splitting, a sharp stabbing pain behind his eyes; his ribs ache, and there’s a dull throb in his left knee.

Summary
Aside from the financial purposes, marriage also served a few other practical purposes. Power of attorney, a recognized social commitment that would officially take him off the market at galas, getting rid of Lois' shrewd stares right before she asked when one of them would pop the question.
Bruce could admit though, that the best reason to get married was that Clark wanted it.
