    Summary

    The cowl was little more than shreds held together by aspirations and a prayer. Which shouldn't have been that bad if not for the fact that this was the backup—this was the second cowl to suffer this fate on that day.

    Bruce stared at the two halves of the last cowl he had had in storage on the Watchtower in disgruntlement. This would not be an issue if he were in the cave–where he had plenty of replacements. Which didn't help the fact that the cowl in his hands was unsalvageable.

    --

    After his cowl breaks in a fight Bruce is forced to attend the debriefing with a domino mask instead. He comes to regret it.

    Summary

    Going on 36 hours without sleep while trying to solve a case, Bruce goes outside to clear his head. An (expected) visitor arrives.
    ***
    Bruce would take Dick and Jason out there years back. Early in the mornings, when the sun was beginning to crest over the horizon and the grass was covered in dew. In the summertime Dick would joke about swimming in the pond. Once Jason actually pushed him in. A shaky sigh escaped him, eyes closed. His head pounded. He didn’t deserve them.

    There was a whoosh in the air. Bruce opened his eyes and saw the pond rippling, the surface of it touched by a foot. A floating foot. Another sigh. He began to massage his temples. Hallucinations weren’t supposed to occur until 48 hours, which meant Clark was actually floating over his abandoned pond.

    He didn’t deserve him.

    “You could at least pretend to be happy to see me.”

    Summary

    Batman sat with Ace and carried her corpse back to Amanda Waller. It’s no wonder that Batman chose to do the job, Waller muses—after all, he’s carried his share of dead children before.

    Later, in Gotham, Bruce finds comfort in a full house.

    Summary

    “Are you okay?” Clark asks, turning on the water and quickly leaning back. Bruce doesn’t follow, and Clark’s eyes trace the raised scars painting his back.

    “Yes.”

    “No?” Clark questions loudly over the running water. He lays his palm flat against his back, thumbing the edges of a scar while covering another with his pinky.

    “What?” Bruce asks, shivering when Clark slides his hand around his front to haul him upright.

    “You’re not okay?”

    “I didn’t say that,” Bruce responds moodily. He needs a nap.

    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

    Bruce always has, and always will, work himself until he breaks.

     

    "Honey, did you get any sleep last night?"

    They've done this song and dance a million times before but Clark will never stop asking. Will never stop worrying. Bruce lets out a heavy sigh. "No."

    “Did you sleep at all while I was gone?"

    Bruce sucks in a deep breath before replying. Something he does when he's embarrassed or ashamed of what he's about to admit. "A bit. Kept waking up in pain. Unable to fall asleep again afterwards."

    OR Bruce deals with chronic pain and fatigue and Clark knows just how to take care of him.

    “Um,” asks the little voice at the other end of the phone, “are you Selina?”

    Selina pulls the phone away from her face to check the screen again, making sure that she’s not going crazy. No, the phone calling her is definitely Batman’s.

    “What,” she says, “the hell?”

    Summary

    “I'm not suicidal,” Bruce says with a roll of his eyes, reaching out to take a biscuit from the plate in front of him. Alfred had specifically sent them with him to give to Clark, but what he doesn't know can't hurt him.

    Besides, Clark doesn't even seem to mind, given he's more focused on glaring at Bruce from across the table, “I didn’t say you were. I simply made some observations.”

    (The recurrent pattern of coming and going, decline and regrowth, of Bruce Wayne.)
