Early in their careers, Clark and Bruce give dating a go. Clark takes a day off saving the world to take Bruce and Dick to a county fair. Something fun together, all three of them, to keep Dick from feeling jilted by the new arrangement.
But can you call it a date when you bring your boyfriend's 13-year-old ward along? And can Clark Kent actually take a day off?
(This follows Grounded, but it is more of a spin-off than a sequel.)

Following a couple of triggering evenings out, Clark springs for tickets to a baseball game: Gotham Knights at the Metropolis Monarchs. He's sure it's going to be the perfect day with Bruce and Dick, but he didn't account for the Knights' atrocious batting lineup. Or the KissCam. Or the rain. Or Lex Luthor.
Now, instead of eating peanuts and cracker-jacks, Clark finds himself facing a barrel of insecurities about how compatible Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne really are.

Bruce, Clark, and Dick. Ollie, Dinah, and Roy.
Chili. Catan. Karaoke.
What could go wrong? Other than Bruce's aloofness, Ollie's bitterness about being fooled by Bruce, Clark's conflict-avoidance, Dick's desperation for friends, Roy's false bravado, and some really spicy chili...
(a/k/a the time Dick stopped two brawls, one with judo and one with Earth, Wind, and Fire)

World's Finest: Giving Thanks by WingFeathers

Summary
Bruce quietly breaks down in the Kents' bathroom in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner, and Clark comes to talk.
Bruce didn’t like many people, but he liked the Kents. With them, he was able to be himself, and, so far from Gotham, he had no reason to be anyone else. There were no secrets at the Kent farm. There was no need for secrets.
Except today, he was holding tight to one secret that he couldn’t speak. And it was like a fog, transforming a warm sunny day into a swamp.
The Kents were warm, and sweet, and comforting. The air was full of pumpkin pie spice and stuffing herbs and gravy.
And Bruce was choking on it.
But he couldn’t tell them that.
Not now, when they were sitting down around a table draped with an orange-and-brown-leafed cloth, and Clark was passing Bruce an orange casserole dish full of something that perhaps was once a healthy side of green beans, but had been transformed into a cardiologist’s nightmare.

World's Finest: Christmas Morning by WingFeathers

31 Dec 2018

Summary
Twelve hours of a Christmas morning in Gotham: Bruce foregoes sleep and grapples with change, Clark navigates Christmas at Wayne Manor and his boyfriend's emotional distance, and Dick gets the best presents. Also: Ma and Pa Kent and Alfred are the greatest.
Dick would have told Bruce to turn in, call it a night. But he wasn’t planning on sleeping tonight anyway. Like his father had, he’d stay up, on-call through the night, just in case anyone in Gotham needed him, and when he did get back home, he’d have stockings to stuff, presents to unload, and Alfred’s cookies to eat.
And, with his luck and his current guests, he’d probably finish all of that just before the sun rose, with hardly enough time to spare before everyone else was awake.
That was fine. He’d gone without sleep for worse reasons.

Summary
Bruce knows a few things: he is Bruce Wayne; he is an orphan; he is Batman; he is Dick’s guardian; he is a member of the Justice League; he is in love with Clark Kent; Clark is in love with him.
And for a while, that's enough. But he can't shake the feeling that maybe this isn't the best reality. That Clark would be better with Lois. And so when option presents itself, Bruce makes an executive decision. He ends things.
Clark knows one thing: sometimes, things end, and you can't stop them ending. And all you can do is pick up the pieces that are left, look to tomorrow, do the best what you have, and not lose hope.
And Dick? Dick knows that all of this really sucks.
