    Summary

    He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”

    Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy.

    Summary

    It was a wonder that Superman managed to keep up appearances so seamlessly, he didn’t appear phased at all. Was he really that unflappable, or was he perhaps disappointed?

    ….wait a second.

    “Fuck.” Bruce groaned, burying his face in his hands in shame as he realized he hadn’t said a word during their whole interaction. Which meant… which meant that Superman had no reaction because he didn’t know. Not ten minutes into knowing his soulmate and Bruce had already screwed the whole thing up.

    ----------------

    Alternate summary: Superman says Batman's soulmate words, Bruce says Clark's words, and it takes a while for these gay idiots to figure out they're in love with each other.

    Summary

    There was a new vigilante in his city: a man who smiled too much and talked too loud and knew his way around a fight a little too well. Bruce wasn't bothered by his antics. Except the man also seemed to know a little too much about him.

    Who was this Nightwing, anyway?

    Summary

    “Are you sure you can’t do a bit of magic?” Arthur asks. “I promise I won’t behead you for it.”

    “Very reassuring,” Merlin says. “Truly, that’s an extreme act of mercy on your part, my Lord. It’s almost enough to convince me you aren’t a dollophead.”

    “What use are you,” Arthur mutters.

    Or:

    The druids call Merlin Emrys. Arthur isn't sure why they think his hapless manservant is some sort of powerful sorcerer, but it's certainly a good way to improve Camelot's relationship with the druids. It's only a little bit of a lie, surely.

    Except it turns out that it's not a lie at all.

    Time travelers who plan to kill Superman never account for Martha Kent in their plans. She may not be the World's Finest, but she's a mother with a shotgun, and all told that might be scarier.

    Summary

    Bruce always thought that Superman's cute shtick of rescuing cats from trees was a bid for publicity—until a confrontation with a magic user leaves him stuck as a cat. He learns how mistaken he was when Superman not only rescues him, but takes him back to a small Metropolis apartment. The opportunity to learn more about the alien can't be ignored, but is Bruce ready for everything he will learn about someone he has only ever regarded with distrust and dislike?

    Summary

    It's been six months since Bruce's actions led to the death of Superman. Six months, two weeks, four days. He could count it to the hour. He's handling it as well as could be expected when he finds himself in a Batcave that is unfamiliar to him, a world that is unfamiliar to him. Superman is still alive, Dick is still talking to him. The Justice League has been around for years, not months. And there is another Batman, who wants more answers than Bruce is willing to give.

    When Batman v Superman!Bruce ends up in the comics world, he'll have to navigate another version of himself, his family and the man he tried to kill if he wants to get home.

    Summary

    The beast stared at him. Its teeth were still bared, but Clark had the dim sense that its—its heart wasn't quite in that snarl, not anymore.

    And then those red glittering eyes closed, and it muttered, as if to itself, "Unbelievable."

    Summary

    Peter Parker can't wait to meet the newest superhero team to enter the scene: The Fantastic Four. More importantly, he can't wait to finally meet another superhero his age: 16-year-old Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch.

    That is, until he does. And Johnny turns out to be a grade-A dick.

    But maybe there's more to Johnny than Peter initially thought. Maybe he's not just an egotistical celebrity, or a short-tempered hothead, or an alarmingly pretty face who makes Peter's pulse race. Maybe they have more in common than they realize.

    And maybe this feeling that overwhelms Spider-Man anytime Johnny is around isn't jealousy after all...

    Summary

    When Damian traces the source of a lethal new party drug to Metropolis University, it only makes sense to go undercover as a student to ferret out the culprits. He doesn't expect to run into Met U student Jon Kent, and he definitely doesn't expect to get mistaken for Jon's boyfriend. But hey, what harm could it do to play along?

    This is going to get complicated fast.

    Summary

    It isn't as if Clark doesn't know Bruce is—attractive. Objectively. It isn't even that he doesn't know he's spent maybe a little too much time being really, really aware of that fact.

    And sure, it's gotten to him, now and then. He's gotten twisted up about it, sometimes. Feeling too much, wanting too much, a pressure in his chest and a lump in his throat. But he's always gotten a grip on it again. It isn't that bad.

    It—hasn't been that bad.

    (Or: five times Clark was totally overwhelmed by Bruce's attractiveness, plus the time he finally did something about it.)

    Summary

    Clark wants to take Bruce’s hand, but Bruce would see it as pity. He wants to ask, “why didn’t you ask for help, if it was this bad?” But he doesn’t, because he knows the answer. Bruce is fiercely protective of his own independence, resents any intrusion into the territory he considers his own. If the League had tried to help, Bruce would have viewed it as an insult, proof that they didn’t think he could handle it alone.

    Bruce is still staring at the far wall.

    “Do you really want me to go,” Clark says.

    “Please,” Bruce says. And it’s that word, the word that Bruce uses so, so rarely, that sends him out the door.

    --

    After Bane breaks Batman's spine, Clark visits Bruce.

    Summary

    Here’s the thing. Clark does understand. Superman and Batman are fucking. Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne are not. Clark can handle this. He keeps parts of his life separate all the time.

    It’s possible, Clark thinks, as he glares at a lurid tabloid cover of Bruce’s latest scandalous yacht party in the grocery store checkout aisle, that he can’t handle this.

    At the Wayne Foundation's annual holiday party, things come to a head.

    Summary

    The purr is called urvishulahdh. The cultural anthology tells him that it can be used to calm children, or even as a self-soothing mechanism, but it is most common between family members as an expression of contentment, tranquility, peace.

    Clark stares at the 3D anatomy diagram of the throat, the auxiliary vocal cords layered underneath the human-like main set, as they slowly vibrate, and asks the Fortress in halting Kryptonian to play the associated audio.

    Kryptonians purr. Clark purrs, and then doesn't. Until he needs to.
