Summary
Clark sucks in a breath, letting the thudding of his own heart melt into the cacophony. Focus. One body among hundreds, one heartbeat among thousands. Easy.
Well, theoretically.
The moment Clark lets the noise in, the babble of a hundred bodies rushes through his head. Heaving lungs, simmering stomachs, dry chuckles as alcohol burns in throats. He stumbles backward in quiet shock. Hopefully he just looks drunk.
It’s all too much. Listening for one man is like playing Where’s Waldo with Bruce’s biology. Possible, sure, but he doesn’t have time for games. Not tonight.Clark investigates Batman's recent disappearance from the League and meets an uninvited guest.

Summary
She doesn’t notice as he slips back into the crowd, already laser-focused on nudging her way to the front of the scene. A few more wayward elbows swing here and there, but the yellow tape holding back the crowd flashes between the bodies, barely in her sight.
Mei’s a few feet away from a front-row seat when she collides with a kid doing what looks to be—at least from the split-second she sees of him before getting a faceful of his backpack—the exact same thing as her.A quick pre-canon fic in which Izuku and Mei first meet on the sidelines of a hero fight.

Summary
The city never seems truly clean, not even after a rain. Even when petrichor practically rolls off the concrete and warm, hazy mist seeps out of the pores of the streets. There will always be ash-streaked bricks, always tire-branded cement, always grease-stained sidewalks. If nothing else, Gotham is a city of constants.
Most of the time.

Summary
There was something else, too. The softest hush-hush rustle of fabric. The barest creak of muscle. And then, an exhale. A heartbeat that seemed, for a moment, to reverberate through the city itself, that broke her unbearable waiting, that filled her chest and brought her to waking…
Clark opened his eyes, staring up into the darkness.
There was nothing there. But a moment ago, there had been. And, whatever it was, it had been watching him.
"You're real," he whispered to the night.
A series of strange murders. A vengeful protector, cloaked in shadow. A city that breathes and lives and watches. Clark Kent can sense Gotham's hostility from the moment he crosses its border — but its currents pull him closer to its mysteries, and the deeper his investigations go, the more he begins to belong...

Summary
When is the right time to tell someone you love them?
Bruce and Clark aren't together, but they could be. Bruce has thought about it. Clark has thought about it. But just as Clark decides to finally take the leap, he falls ill. It doesn't take long for Bruce to figure that out, except that Clark's not just sick.
Clark is dying. And in a bid to save his life, Bruce has to race against time in search of a cure.
Written for the Superbat Big Bang 2025.
—
Bruce's heart leaps into his throat when Clark raises his head and looks up at Bruce with wide, horrified eyes. Clark’s hand covers his mouth, but there’s—blood, hot and bright red, streaming through the cracks of his fingers. Another round of violent coughing wracks his chest and Bruce jerks into motion and lunges forwards to catch him around the shoulders before he hits the dirt.
After a moment, Clark’s hands—they’re shaking, Bruce notices—drop from his mouth and Clark stares down at them in bewildered horror.
“Bruce,” he whispers, with blood painting his lips red and dripping down his chin.
