Summary
Then he took a deep breath and he changed. He ironed out every fold in his posture and his face until he looked like Superman again. His shoulders were broad, his gaze was confident, and his smile showed no sign of embarrassment or fear.
It’s genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
Especially since Bruce knows that change. He’s seen it in the mirror before entering parties or nightclubs. He’s always referred to it, internally, as 'putting on my better face.' The façade is his least favourite part of the day, ranking just below 'getting punched by supervillains.'
The idea that Superman is just Kal's better face, that would explain a lot.
It would also mean Bruce isn't alone.

Summary
Clark Kent meets Matches Malone while working on a story, and the pair hit it off almost immediately. Meanwhile, Superman is getting established as a hero, and slowly becoming friends with Batman. Bruce just wants to figure out if he can maintain three separate identities, raise a kid, and keep his reporter boyfriend somewhat in the dark. It's a three-way double-blind secret identity scramble.

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.)
