    Summary

    prompt from tumblr:

    fic idea where for some reason Bruce (as Batman) has to pick up Alfred and Tim from a public event gone wrong in the Batmobile (Tim was poisoned) and it’s not an emergency but speed is of essence and this is, coincidentally, the first time Alfred has been in the Batmobile when it’s actually moving and he gets to see firsthand how absolutely insane Bruce drives without the need to obey speed limits. and Tim’s puking and generally displeased so Alfred spends the whole ride chiding Bruce to slow down, for god’s sake, only for Tim to chime in from the backseat, between heaves, that this is slow for him, Alfred—

    Summary

    After the death of Jason Todd, Dick made the decision to return to Gotham to ensure no future Robin ever suffered the same fate as his Little Wing, personally overseeing the training of every Robin to come. Ten years later, Batman leaves Gotham without warning to investigate an unknown that has Bruce staring at Jason’s long-abandoned bedroom door. He puts Nightwing in charge of the others and tasks Dick with keeping an eye on a new "vigilante" who can't seem to decide whose side he's on— a mysterious Red Hood, who also doesn’t have any qualms against working alongside Gotham’s most wanted.

    Summary

    Tim has more people than he’s ever had in his life. He can’t be lonely.

    And yet.

    He thinks maybe there’s a difference, between having people you can talk to and having someone you don’t have to talk to. Someone who knows how to interpret your wordless noises in the dark.

    Summary

    Bruce and Clark work together, make use of x-ray vision, maintain an unexpectedly necessary pretense, get the better of magic, get the better of "science", buddy-breathe—and then, finally, kiss.

    Or: six times Bruce and Clark kissed for ~reasons, plus the first time they did it just because they wanted to. (Written for Superbat Week 2020.)
