Summary
Swanwick gave Bruce a level, unamused look. "Mr. Wayne," he said. "Please tell me you know why you're here."
Bruce shrugged. "Won the lottery, and first-place prize is the government marries me off to an alien."
(Or: in a universe where Krypton took an extra thirty-odd years to implode, Kal-El was sent to Earth as an adult, in advance of the ship containing the only other surviving Kryptonians; and a quirk of Kryptonian law means negotiating refuge, potential resettlement, and an alliance with the Kryptonians in general is dependent on marriage between a Kryptonian and a human. Bruce did what it took to make sure that that human would be him, instead of some poor unprepared civilian—but his efforts to learn more about the aliens, what they want and why they're here, and how, if necessary, to kill them ... don't go the way he's expecting them to.)

Summary
Or, Itto and Gorou meet by chance; amid the gloom of the Vision Hunt Decree, their introduction is a thin silver lining. They seem an unlikely pairing, but begin to learn a lesson that they’ve each spent their entire lives trying to grasp: perception rarely offers much truth. And, unlikely or not, they looked at death together. It would be a disservice to remain strangers.
Also, in which it takes 9k words to hold hands and 14k words to kiss.
