Summary
On a stormy night in Gotham, Bruce's parents appear out of thin air, torn from the past. Between their sudden appearance, his children's insistence on meeting them, and having to explain the kind of man he's become, Bruce is not handling it well.
On top of that, there is now a very real possibility that he'll have to come out to his parents. Bruce never imagined he'd ever get the chance—especially not in his mid-thirties—and now that he does, he's terrified.
"What happened?" he asks, smoothing a bandage over Bruce's stitches with careful, practiced movements. His hands are heavy. Warm. "What made you choose this?"
And Bruce is—he's tired, and he's hurting, rubbed raw with simmering grief and overwhelm. Thomas stands over him, close enough to touch, caring for him in ways Bruce has only ever dreamt of for the past twenty-five years.
Bruce sighs, quiet and aching and worn. "You died," he confesses. He'd never really been able to lie to his father.

Summary
"Bruce, your neck," Georgia stressed, her face slightly flushed.
With a frown, Bruce tucked his chin, bringing a hand up to feel along his neck. Everything felt normal, his nerves responding to his touch, nothing too warm or too cold—all the same as it had been earlier this morning. Bruce's thumb caught the edge of a hickey on his collarbone.
Oh, shit.
The morning after a night spent with Clark, Bruce has to do an underwear photoshoot.
What he doesn't expect is for people to start guessing who exactly gave him all those bruises. (He'll just have to set the record straight.)

Summary
“It’s a necessary part of my identity; I created this perspective of myself on purpose.”
“That doesn’t mean I have to like how people are acting,” Clark replied, well aware he was pouting. He gestured to the monitors. “Look, B. They think it’s a joke. They think it’s a joke that I love you.”
Snippets of a time when Bruce Wayne and Superman's relationship gets outed to the public, and the half-dozen kidnappings that follow as a result. Oh, and nobody thinks Bruce Wayne is good enough for him, and Clark would really like everybody to stop thinking that, please.
If Bruce could just take this seriously, Clark's heart could make it to the end of the month. Except that by the end of the month, Bruce has been kidnapped again, and this time Clark has no idea where he is.

Summary
The League didn’t know anything was wrong until Batman failed to show up for a meeting. By then, he’d been missing for two days.
Clark found the batsuit in Gotham’s harbour, and it wasn’t until three days later that he managed to find Batman, who had lost his cowl but gained something else equally, if not more, interesting than his secret identity.
Or: Batman gets turned into a mermaid, and Clark has to Deal With It while trying to wrap his head around the metaphorical bomb that is Batman’s secret identity, all while also trying to keep his big fat crush a secret so he can help his friend.
(Which happens to be incredibly difficult when said friend can’t remember who exactly Clark is, and keeps wrapping him up in his tail and pointing a batarang at his face while being all strong and bare-chested and beautiful.
Clark is so whipped and so doomed.)

Summary
The itch always starts on his back, between his shoulder blades, and it’s not so much an itch as it is this unignorable urge to abandon his vulnerable skin and give himself over to hardened black scales and large, powerful wings.
or: Bruce Wayne is a dragon shifter, and while out flying one night, Superman falls from the sky. Dragon shifters are rare, and putting himself in close proximity to the most powerful man on earth is not a good idea, but Superman is unconscious in the dirt, and what is Bruce supposed to do—leave him there, vulnerable and unguarded?
Against his best judgement...no. No he is not.

Summary
Clark can smell the drugs the moment he steps inside. The problem is he doesn't realize who they're intended for until after Bruce Wayne has already ingested them.
He watches as Wayne inelegantly extracts himself from the arms of a woman just to stumble into a man and do the same thing over again. Switching to X-ray when the tight pack of people obscures his vision, he observes the man staggering through the room, heading for a side door tucked in a dark corner. When the heavy door swings shut behind him, Wayne puts a hand on the brick wall and slides to his knees, shoes scraping against the wet pavement.
Clark blinks, swallows, and navigates the crowd.
