Summary
Clark has watched Bruce Wayne destroy every relationship he's ever touched, excavating intimacy until only hollow shells remain. When Bruce inevitably pushes him away—retreating into the cowl and the cave and the playboy persona—Clark expects to become another casualty of Gotham's war on happiness. But some winters end. Some shadows learn to crave light. On a clock tower above the city, Bruce kneels not as Batman but as a man begging to be forgiven, and Clark must decide whether to keep his fortress of solitude or open the drawbridge one last time.
