Summary
Why you? Bruce asks with his grip on Clark’s hip, leaving bruises that won’t last the night, gone as soon as Clark inevitably flies away to the other side of the world while Bruce pretends to sleep.

Summary
“Around,” he opened his eyes again to look down at where the probably-rebar was sticking out his chest and looked back up at the dark room above him blinking tears away, “Hey, I’m curious. Do you guys think it's worse to die by suffocation or blood loss?”

Summary
Fitful and fleeting, he drifts in the space between nothing, trying his best to wade through it, like shallow water and deep ocean.
“It’s okay Clark,” gentle, they find him through the haze.
He tries to reach out again, but they are muffled, the sound of his name a final farewell before nothing, again.
Almost dying is difficult, and dealing with the feelings that come with it are difficult too.

"You don't look fine, B."
Because Bruce looks tired. He looks beaten, and exhausted, and like he almost died last night. Because he almost did.Bruce looks away, “Okay, then I will be fine. I’ve had worse, believe me.”
or; It's not easy caring so much about someone who doesn't seem to care about themself at all. Clark does anyway.

Summary
Their enemy—a magician, and a quack one, at that—isn't that particularly strong.
His spells are, for the most of it, something Clark and Diana can handle without real issues. They're simple enough to evade, simple enough to block, simple enough to tank.

Summary
Batman had saved Joker's life before. More than once. He'd probably help, even if he knew. Even if he arrested Jason afterward. Even if it was the last straw.
He dug in his pocket for the signal-blocking case with his free hand. They could track the comm when it was on, if they wanted to. He didn't like to take any chances when he wasn't fine with being found.
Funny, when now he was just hoping they'd care enough to try.

Summary
Metropolis news outlets have been up in arms since a battle in the heart of the city brought the comfortable partnership of Superman and Batman into the light. Every gossip column and magazine has been going on about Gotham’s filthy, no-good, lowlife vigilante corrupting their Golden Boy.
But Gordon, oh, Jim Gordon knows that’s not quite the truth.

Summary
Clark was curled up on his couch with takeout and the Criterion channel, picking at the worn place in his sock where his invulnerable toe was poking through the not-invulnerable fabric, when the call came.
"It's Jason," Bruce said, on the other end of the League communicator, and Clark was in Gotham so quickly that he almost forgot to put shoes on, which was saying something, because they were built into his costume.

Summary
When Bruce’s eyes opened, meeting Clark’s gaze, the corner of his mouth tugged up.
There he was.
The man who was now a father to more than he could count on a single hand and a guardian to a whole planet, though he had more help now – with Clark at his side, and to a much greater extent, the League.
Even if he sometimes looked like that twenty-something with too much money and too much faith, that version of Bruce didn’t carry the scars of years of heartbreaking, dogged, foolish determination. That young man hadn’t suffered the years of the infuriating crusade that anyone who loved Bruce had no choice but to believe in because it was a part of Bruce, as much as his arm, or his hair, was a part of him. To love Bruce was to love the angry and frightened little boy who would stop at nothing to make sure no one ever suffered as he did.
And, God, Clark loved him.
Bruce gets injured, Clark patches him up, and they're in love.
That's it. That's the fic.

Summary
The staff meeting after Cat had broken her foot had involved a lot of reassigning, since she couldn’t exactly do the usual society beat with her foot in a boot. So much that Clark hadn’t really thought twice when Perry had said “and Kent, you’ll take the new Wayne foundation piece,” because sure, he liked working the philanthropy stories occasionally. It wasn’t until they’d gotten back to their desks that Lois had burst into a fit of snickering and said “oh, I would pay money to see how you’re going to handle Bruce Wayne for two weeks,” and Clark had realized how majorly screwed he was.

On a two-week assignment, Clark does his best to figure out Bruce Wayne. Bruce does his best to make sure he can't. Unfortunately, they're just too good at working together, even when they don't know it.For Superbat Week 2024, day 1: identity shenanigans.

Summary
“Bruce…”, Clark cried out, his voice trembling as he stared down at his own tainted hands, “I couldn’t - I couldn’t do…”, he looked up at his old friend, his lover, his light. “I couldn’t do anything.”
Bruce stared at Clark for a few moments, a cloud of understanding taking over the blue of his eyes because he understood, of course he did. He wrapped Clark’s trembling body in his arms, hugging him close so there was no part of their bodies that wasn’t touching, and Clark held onto the fabric at the back of Bruce’s robe so strongly that the threads of the fabric loosened up a bit.
“Bruce...”
“Let’s get you cleaned up…”

Summary
Bad Things Happen Bingo | Punctured Lung |
--
Jason jerks back as a metal pipe spears through the bottom of the vent a foot in front of his face, the end of it sharpened into a savage, jagged point. He stares at it for a long moment, dumbfounded, before it disappears back through the hole it made with a horrible shriek of metal on metal. The hole is about three inches wide, the edges bent up into sharp, uneven scraps.
Jason lost his helmet back when their earlier fight had gotten out of hand, and he’s suddenly vividly aware of how vulnerable his face is, how vulnerable his eyes are, and he can barely lift his head more than a couple of inches in this position – definitely not enough to be out of range. There’s a vague murmur coming from the goons down below, but Jason can’t make out the words through the buzz of panic in his ears. He’s a sitting duck if they realize someone’s up here.
He glances at Tim, who’s frozen, staring at Jason with mirrored shock.
Oh, fuck.

OR: What would happen if a henchman with a pointy metal stick heard Bats crawling around in the vents above them?
