Summary
Instead of lunging at him, the monster stumbled, as it tried to stand, and Clark saw as a child's leg slipped out of a big black boot before tangling in a yellow belt, small, very childish hands trying and failing to catch it. And maybe… And maybe it wasn't a monster at all, because as Clark watched, transfixed, the kid - because it had to be a kid, he didn't seem to be older than Clark- face planted on the floor without making even a single noise.

Or; a magical mishap accidently turns the World's Finest into an 8 and a 9 year old. Shenanigans ensue.

Summary
Swanwick gave Bruce a level, unamused look. "Mr. Wayne," he said. "Please tell me you know why you're here."
Bruce shrugged. "Won the lottery, and first-place prize is the government marries me off to an alien."
(Or: in a universe where Krypton took an extra thirty-odd years to implode, Kal-El was sent to Earth as an adult, in advance of the ship containing the only other surviving Kryptonians; and a quirk of Kryptonian law means negotiating refuge, potential resettlement, and an alliance with the Kryptonians in general is dependent on marriage between a Kryptonian and a human. Bruce did what it took to make sure that that human would be him, instead of some poor unprepared civilian—but his efforts to learn more about the aliens, what they want and why they're here, and how, if necessary, to kill them ... don't go the way he's expecting them to.)

Summary
Some days he pretends not to know what Clark has come for; he’ll offer him two fingers of scotch or a round of pool, and Clark will agree but always with a tinge of disappointment. Lex would prefer to get straight to the point, today, so he waves Clark over.
“Here,” he gestures to the spot next to him.
Clark moves quickly— always extremely quickly— to the spot he’s told, but takes his time to sink to his knees next to Lex, gingerly placing his forehead down on Lex’s thigh. His shoulders round out and he sighs, the tension dissipating between them now that they aren’t playing charades.Bookmarked by ThingsThatBreak
