Summary
Clark wasn’t completely oblivious about him having a type. He was self aware enough to recognize when he was slipping into a habit. He knew he was done for the moment he heard Bruce laugh.
Of course, at that point he’d been the Batman still.

Summary
Late in the night, when the hours of the morning are countable on a single hand, Aragorn still works.
For long after the battle, there were wounded to tend to. Fathers to reunite with their children. Young boys to kneel beside and offer words of comfort. Dead to mourn, burial shrouds to be made. The elves needed beds and food, and there was not much to spare.
Legolas helps find some peace amidst war, and to ease the burdens that Aragorn carries.

Summary
He can make it another hour. It’s only an hour. Gerard has got to get used to long drives, if he’s going to try and find somewhere to live. Mary’s ghost followed him so far, and she might yet follow him down the way to DC. He’d had three blissful days of rest before she found him, screaming about what he had done to her. It took him another week to get going, to find a car and leave.
She hasn’t found him yet. But Gerard doesn’t know how long that will last. He doesn’t want to stop and find out.
After the suicide of his mother, Gerard Keay finds himself haunted by her ghost.

Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

Summary
"So, maybe you've found your home here in Gotham. At least it's not that far, compared to Kansas." Bruce's voice is smooth and steady, his tone low.
It's hard to keep a straight face at that.
Clark's lips curve into a fond smile as he chuckles and shakes his head, leaning back against his seat, a hand rubbing across the nape of his neck.
"Yeah. Maybe I have. The coffee's great here. And the company is really nice." Clark offers a smile as he meets Bruce's eyes, holding his gaze for a beat too long before returning it to his pie.
He doesn't miss the way Bruce's heart rate stutters at his comment.
--
Or, Clark Kent can't do one night stands, and Bruce is just his usual human disaster.(This story officially ends at Chapter 5.
Everything after that will be extra chapters, which I'll post whenever I feel like it!) -

Summary
It starts like this. Clark Kent has a hopeless crush on a woman who's out of his league. Bruce Wayne has a newly-acquired kid he feels ill-equipped to raise. Superman is still finding his feet. And Batman has an unshakeable suspicion that Superman surely can't be all that he seems.
Things can only get more complicated from there.

Summary
Clark Kent has interviewed Bruce Wayne more times than he can count, each meeting following the same professional routine. But over time, things start to shift.
Bruce becomes a little less guarded, a little more teasing, and a whole lot more distracting. As their interviews evolve from stiff formality to something much more personal, Clark finds himself caught between his growing curiosity about Bruce and the undeniable tension between them. What started as a routine task becomes something more complicated, and Clark might just be about to discover that the line between 'reporter' and 'something else' is thinner than he ever expected.

Summary
Maybe he doesn’t have a filter because of how tired he is, his mind too chemically addled to properly stop and think. Maybe he wants to keep an eye on Clark, make sure Superman heals and recovers fully, rather than have him shower here at the Hall and send him on his way. Maybe—
Maybe he doesn’t want to be apart from him, and maybe he wants to take care of him, and maybe he wants to be taken care of by him, and maybe he’s just drained enough and just foolish enough and just good enough at making up excuses that this was going to be inevitable anyway.
Whatever reason it is— whatever combination of reasons, most likely— the outcome is the same.
“Come home with me,” Bruce offers.
or: bruce and clark have been fighting monsters as batman and superman for over two days. they're hungry, filthy, and exhausted— so, bruce thinks it only makes sense to invite clark over to the manor to eat, take a bath together, and sleep.
