    Summary

    In a world where the Belyi-Tsar's court of fae still exists, the relationship between Snezhnaya and Nod-Krai is a tense one. The Wild-Hunt rages on however, and someone has to deal with it. The young captain of the Nightmare Orioles squad is faced with a situation so dire, he embarks on a lone and impulsive journey to get the help of the fae he'd only heard about in terrifying stories. A part of him is sure he'll have to sacrifice his soul to get what he needs, but the mysterious fae he meets seems to be interested in something entirely different.

    The water ran out and Illuga pushed away the flask, gasping for breath. He really was thirty. But he could not possibly blame that small factor for making a complete fool out of himself.
    Sir Flins’ gaze was transfixed on the his open, glistening lips. He stood still for a moment, then suddenly reached out and wiped the young man's wet mouth with his gloved thumb.
    Illuga flushed red and quickly turned away. Those tales couldn't even begin to grasp just how odd the fae really were.

    Summary

    "What do you think it is to be human?” Flins asks, slow and deliberate, fingers tracing the rim of his drink. 

    “To be human is to feel,” Illuga says, definitively. “To be human is to hurt, to bleed, to cry. And then wake up the next day and do it again. Wake up a thousand times and do it again, knowing that the pain doesn’t stop.”

    Flins’ gaze is piercing. “Why?”

    “Because if we can still feel pain, we can still feel joy.”

    Illuga thinks he knows what it means to be human. He has a few things to learn.

    Summary

    Maybe he doesn’t have a filter because of how tired he is, his mind too chemically addled to properly stop and think. Maybe he wants to keep an eye on Clark, make sure Superman heals and recovers fully, rather than have him shower here at the Hall and send him on his way. Maybe—

    Maybe he doesn’t want to be apart from him, and maybe he wants to take care of him, and maybe he wants to be taken care of by him, and maybe he’s just drained enough and just foolish enough and just good enough at making up excuses that this was going to be inevitable anyway.

    Whatever reason it is— whatever combination of reasons, most likely— the outcome is the same.

    “Come home with me,” Bruce offers.

    or: bruce and clark have been fighting monsters as batman and superman for over two days. they're hungry, filthy, and exhausted— so, bruce thinks it only makes sense to invite clark over to the manor to eat, take a bath together, and sleep.
