    Summary

    Bruce is impossible, stubborn, willfully self-destructive, and so self-sacrificing it's a wonder he hasn't suffocated under the weight of it. And Clark is stupidly, dizzyingly, crazy about him.

    Or, post-Justice League, five surprising and intriguing things Clark learns about Bruce (and the time he decides to do something with all of his new knowledge.)

    Summary

    He needed Peter.

    So he followed him. Quietly. Carefully. Religiously.

    He mapped Peter’s class schedule in his head. Memorized his grocery list. Noted the exact way his fingers scratched behind his ear when he was deep in thought, the way he hummed low and off-key when he didn’t think anyone could hear. Tim knew he liked the rain, that he always paused for it. Knew he hated silence — filled it with podcasts, music, half-spoken thoughts, anything to keep it away.

    He didn’t expect Peter to notice. He certainly didn’t expect Peter to turn around one night — high above the city, where the air was thinner and the noise finally died down — and look him dead in the eyes.

    “You know,” Peter said, one eyebrow raised, “most people would just ask for my number.”

    And just like that, the watcher became the watched.

    Summary

    “Hey,” the kid says, offering a gloved hand. “I’m Spider-Man.”

    Jason stares at the hand. “Get. Out of. My face.”

    “Cool, me too,” the kid says as if that made any fucking sense. “But also, there’s, like, a very large man with a weird Red Riding Hood thing going on pointing a gun at my face, so I’m calling this a teachable moment.”

    “I don’t point guns at faces,” Jason says. He absolutely does. “I point them at kneecaps.”

    The kid’s hand hovers in the air a second longer, then drops. He bounces on the balls of his feet, kinetic energy with a conscience. “So what’s your deal? Big red bucket, voice modulator set to ‘haunt my enemies,’ a fashionable assortment of weapons. Batman adjacent?”

    “Batman distant,” Jason says. “And the deal is: you’re in my territory.”

    “Oh. Sorry! I didn’t know territories were, like, a thing. Do you have a flag? I can make a flag. I’m very DIY when it comes to silk-based products.”

    Jason racks the pistol and holsters it because if he doesn’t, he’s going to do something unhelpful, like shoot this idiot charmingly dead.

    Summary

    Eight years of Spider-Manning took its toll. Now, Peter Parker is content with his quiet bartending gig in Gotham where he just wants to wipe down bar tops in peace. If only Batman's sidekicks would stop treating his workplace like their personal clubhouse.

    ———

    Ft. Menace to society (and spiderman) Robins and an older, in desperate need of a 10-year-long nap, Peter Parker.

    (A Peter Parker who does NOT think he’s older brother/ mentor material, and batkids who disagree.)

    Summary

    “I was sitting there.”

    Hal lifted his head enough to squint at the spot Bruce was clearly no longer occupying. “Well, You're not in it.”

    “I stepped away.” Bruce’s voice was dangerously flat. “I was gone for less than ten minutes.”

    “Ten minutes is a lifetime in space battles, Spooky. You know what? I don’t care. I just flew, like, seventeen light-years and mediated an alien war. My spine is killing me. Find another seat.”

    “There is no other seat.”

    “There’s a whole room of—" Hal looked around. For the first time, his sleep-deprived brain actually registered the designs. “Oh.”

    “Move.”

    “No.”

    “Lantern.”

    “Nope. Nope nope nope.”

    or the one where a furniture mishap leaves exactly one good seat in the Watchtower lounge, Hal won't give it up, Bruce won't back down, and somewhere in three weeks of stubborn proximity, they both stop wanting the space and start wanting each other.
