    Summary

    Bruce had the blood of his children on his hands, and he could never do enough.

    He wasn't good enough. So, he didn't answer. What was the point of arguing?

    But then, seeing that he wasn't reacting, Dick resolved to deal with things as usual, and prepared to strike.

    But the punch never landed. Superman had blocked Nightwing's wrist, eyes glowing red

    "Your brother's not going to get better by blaming him," the alien said, calmly, in contrast to Dick's stormy exterior. "Especially when it's not Batman's fault."

     

    (After an alien invasion, Nightwing blames Batman for Red Robin's injuries. Superman isn't a fan of his friend's family's way of dealing with their problems.)

    Summary

    Bruce groaned lightly as he woke up. When he rolled over to bury his face in Clark's neck, as he always did to regulate himself before preparing for the day, he bumped into something else. Someone else. He cracked an eye open. Dick was laying there, cheek smushed up against Clark's collarbone.

    Bruce's heart squeezed.

    OR: Eight-year-old Dick Grayson has a nightmare. He goes to his new dads' room for comfort. Fluff ensues!

    An observation log from Dick Grayson through the years:
    All the time Bruce Wayne almost falls in love.

    Or

    The many times he did, yet admitting would make the loss real.

    Summary

    "Bruce." Clark turns towards him, leaning back against a bank of consoles. "We're not actually going undercover. We don't need an elaborate backstory– if anything, it'll be harder to keep straight. It doesn't have to be complicated." He spreads his hands. "Here's a story: we're members of the same elite fighting force. After years of saving each other's lives in the field, we fell in love. That's it."

    Bruce swallows past the almost-truth of it. In Clark's warm smooth radio voice, it sounds plausible. It sounds like something that could happen.

    Bruce and Clark pretend to be married for diplomatic reasons. When they return to Earth, things are a little different.

    Summary

    Clark might not feel uncomfortable, but the cave is not just cold, no, it’s closer to penguins might thrive cold, and of course Bruce is there, bent over his computer with his suit on, lacking the cowl and the heavy cape. He didn’t even wash his eyegrease off, and Clark can smell the acidic sweat of sickness clinging to his body. And he is sure there’s no need for superpowers, anyone close enough could smell it, it’s so thick.

    “Oh, Bruce.” He sighs again, getting closer to the stubborn, stubborn man he loves so much. “You idiot.”

    “Good to see you too.” Bruce replies, with a voice so scratchy he sounds like he is actively chewing on broken glass. Jesus.
