    Summary

    "Bruce." Clark turns towards him, leaning back against a bank of consoles. "We're not actually going undercover. We don't need an elaborate backstory– if anything, it'll be harder to keep straight. It doesn't have to be complicated." He spreads his hands. "Here's a story: we're members of the same elite fighting force. After years of saving each other's lives in the field, we fell in love. That's it."

    Bruce swallows past the almost-truth of it. In Clark's warm smooth radio voice, it sounds plausible. It sounds like something that could happen.

    Bruce and Clark pretend to be married for diplomatic reasons. When they return to Earth, things are a little different.

    Summary

    Kara huffs out a breath in frustration. “Every Kryptonian has a heartsong. And they’re beautiful, but when you listen to one on its own it feels like something is missing. It’s like...they have something like this too, right?” She gestures outward impatiently, and Bruce forces himself not to flinch at her casual use of they. “Only they have words written down instead.”

    “Soulmates,” Clark says, his voice strained.

    The word hits Bruce like a bullet through the lung. He keeps his face perfectly relaxed, his heartbeat calm and regular, as he realizes (too late, he's always too late) that he should have expected this all along.

    Summary

    The rune spits Jayce out on hard rock. It’s dry and dusty under his hands and when he blinks awake, face-down, clothing soaked, alive against all odds, he actually can’t draw a breath. A drop of water hits his face. And then another. It’s raining, and he doesn’t know where he is, but he’s back in the fissure, he’s certain of it. A cruel ending for a wasted life. Jayce Talis, the Man of Progress, who thought at every turn he had the right idea, and failed in every way that ever mattered.

    -

    Thrown across the continent, but painfully alive, Jayce struggles to keep Viktor from falling into mental ruin, and himself from keeling over. He can still hold a hammer, so he does what he's always done: cling to hope, however foolish it may be.
