    Summary

    “Maker’s fucking tits, Ashur,” Tarquin sighs. He glances down at the open notebook with its complicated web of connections. “So this is, what? Your notes about who’s banging who?”

    Ashur winces. “Who’s in a relationship with whom,” he corrects.

    Summary

    For six hours a week, Tarquin is responsible for guarding the students learning advanced magical theory from Enchanter Vesperian, who is entirely too pretty, entirely too well-spoken, and entirely too good at capturing Tarquin's interest regarding magic Tarquin can't even use.

    [Or: Tarquin reveals he's a secret nerd. Ashur is smitten immediately.]

    Summary

    They have Ashur.

    They’ll unmask him, in front of the whole city, the whole Imperium. They’ll kill him slow. They’ll hang his body on the walls, like the Magisters of old used to do to traitors and cowards. Because Ashur decided to slip away and try to bring down a pack of blood mages alone, even though he’s eaten up with Blight.

    Because he didn’t tell Tarquin.

    (In which Ashur almost throws his life away, and Tarquin can't bear this any longer.)

    Summary

    The young acolyte learns three things about Astarion very quickly.

    Firstly, he’s not a cleric—if there’s such a thing as the opposite of a cleric, Astarion is probably that.

    Secondly, he knows a startling number of Ilmatari clerics anyway. He claims Brother Kycus owes him money.

    Thirdly, and perhaps most pertinently, he knows how to pick a lock.

    “That’s the value of an independent contractor,” he says breezily, tinkering with a back-alley door. “Your Revered Mother is a practical sort. Likes to use the tools she has.”

    (Or: Astarion romanced a cleric. After, they live in the space between absolutes.)

    Summary

    “I have figured out where Karlach is,” announces Lae’zel with poorly concealed glee.

    Sul crams in beside the window to make room for Astarion, who hops off his bed and shoots over to join them. She can mostly make out the shadow of three and a half horns pushing to and fro with what looks like vigorous kissing.

    “Well.” Astarion rests his face in both hands, lips pulled up to show his fangs. “Good for her.”

    Summary

    Inspired by this Tumblr post by abcdefghjklmpqrobin: Au where Batman doesn't want to tell the Justice League his secret identity but it's because he's really embarrassed about the things he's done as Bruce Wayne.

    5 times Bruce Wayne made Batman miserable + 1 time he made the Justice League miserable.

    Summary

    Clark and Bruce get hit with a spell that lets them read each other’s thoughts and emotions. The problem is that any time Clark so much smiles at Bruce, Bruce starts thinking about Kryptonite and being dangled over a pit of acid.

    Summary

    When Clark Kent is tasked with writing an article about Batman, he accidentally slips in a little too much fondness--resulting in everyone from superbat shippers on Twitter to the Riddler thinking he's dating Batman. Unfortunately, there are a lot of villains who are very eager to kidnap Batman's new boyfriend.

    Summary

    Bruce is a realist. Even a global artistic hub—the birthplace of the Renaissance, according to some academics—seems an unlikely cure for months of art block.

    Summary

    Bruce has a stake in this world, more so now than he did twenty years ago when vengeance was the only thought propelling him through the days and nights.

    “Maybe I am afraid,” he admits. “But I’m going to Kansas.”

    Batman met Wonder Woman before Superman was on the global radar. Robin didn’t die. Armed with the knowledge that superpowered individuals exist on Earth, a more hopeful Bruce Wayne tracks down Clark Kent with the aim of forming a powerful ally.

    Summary

    "Superman,” Wayne says emphatically. "Now there’s an interesting guy. The concept of wealth probably doesn’t even register to an alien who could throw a whole skyscraper into the sea if he was in a snit.”

    It’s almost hilariously ironic that Wayne is saying this here, in Clark’s place of employment, where Clark works ten-hour shifts to earn enough tip money to pay rent on a one-bedroom apartment.

    “He’s gotta live somewhere,” Clark points out.

    Or: Clark meets Bruce, and then Superman meets Bruce Wayne. Neither is entirely fooled.

    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.
