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.

Summary
All those times Steve settled for their secret language and silent communication, he should have used his words. Pep talks to rally the troops come easy, but in those stolen moments with Natasha, he never told her in words how much he loved her. He should have.
Stolen moments between Steve and Natasha throughout their partnership and beyond Endgame with some grieving in between.

Summary
Natasha didn't need anyone—no one, except perhaps Clint, because he needed her, too, and that made her feel slightly less pathetic for not having her shit together.
But Clint was her best friend, and the way she needed him was different from the way she came to realize she needed his new roommate, as well.
Romanogers, college AU.
