Summary
Aside from the financial purposes, marriage also served a few other practical purposes. Power of attorney, a recognized social commitment that would officially take him off the market at galas, getting rid of Lois' shrewd stares right before she asked when one of them would pop the question.
Bruce could admit though, that the best reason to get married was that Clark wanted it.

Summary
Preening was the most intimate ritual in avian cultures. Done only by family and partners, it was more than simple hygiene for avians. It was a gesture of trust and love. There were very specific customs about where they were done, what words were spoken to cue the ritual, and who could do it. Traditions varied slightly, but the core concepts remained the same. Among avians, requests to preen and be preened were expected to be semi-frequent, in order to maintain the deep bonds that avians kept with each other.
Or, 5 times Bruce preens his birds and 1 time they preen him.

Summary
Despite Bruce's innate lack of goodness – the way he knew that if someone were to peer next to his heart where his soul lay and they would find nothing but a gnarled, black pit – Clark had never been anything but kind. Bruce wanted to be good for Clark, to be able to look anyone in the eyes and say that they made each other better. Bruce wasn't a pity project, a moral charity case for Clark to take a fancy too. He could be someone worth loving, if he could only move past the coiled fear in his gut.
Which found Bruce taking the elevator up to the seventh floor of the Daily Planet's headquarters, to the bullpen where he knew Clark worked.

Summary
Fondness for Bruce bloomed in Tim's chest. He mustered a small smile. "Thanks, Dad. I'll really- it'll be fine. I want to see him."
"I know you do," Bruce said with warm eyes, "But don't hurt yourself in the process."
A statement that was almost laughable, given how long this family had been putting their lives and bodies on the line in the pursuit of hope in a better future. But it was said with such immutability, like it was inevitable. Bruce would make it true somehow, that Tim didn't hurt himself here and now. It was that unspoken faith between them that prompted Tim to push open the door.

Summary
Jason was ready to call it a bust when he found a manila folder at the bottom, too thin to be anything boring and too thick to be nothing. Even more alarming was the familiar scrawl of Dick's handwriting in Sharpie overtop the folder.

The Nightwing Protocol by PurpleSoot

Summary
In a universe that falls somewhere in between Teen Titans and Young Justice, Robin was fourteen years old on the day he was killed in action, caught in a clever trap laid by the world’s most dangerous mercenary assassin.
Deathstroke’s Apprentice was fifteen on the day he finally surrendered to the Justice League, with blood on his hands and scars that will never heal.
Dick Grayson is seventeen on the day he chooses to face Slade Wilson again.
Some things you lose and can’t ever find again. Some things you drop and leave behind. Some things you just have to learn how to carry with you.
(They’ll call that the Nightwing Protocol, if he survives.)

📌 [January 26] Faculty Lounge Announcement
PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT NOTICE
It has come to the administration’s attention that certain members of the teaching staff have been very busy inventing romantic storylines involving their colleagues—including, but not limited to, wild allegations of cheating.
While we appreciate creativity, we must remind everyone that the Faculty Lounge is not an appropriate venue for speculative investigative journalism.
Please refrain from discussing colleagues’ private lives during work hours. Yes, this includes “innocent” speculation over coffee, Prof. Barry Allen.
— Office of the Dean
Clark Kent is taken. Bruce Wayne, by some miracle of the universe, is also taken. What their co-workers don't know is that they're taken by each other.

such a soft, delicious little love letter to the ways that you have to learn how to love someone the way they need to be loved, and how office romance is really only interesting if your coworkers are kind of insane

Summary
He closed his eyes.
Bruce had stopped barely one full step past the doorway, but he was moving now, each step bringing him closer to Clark. With no outside sound to filter through, and with his eyes tightly closed, Clark's whole world finally narrowed entirely to Bruce. His surefooted steps. His steady breathing. The beautiful thrum of his heartsong, perfectly unique to him, perfectly composed and in control. The sound of ruffling fabric as he unbuttoned the cuffs of his sleeves and rolled them up.
The feel of his callous-rough fingertips, gently reaching out to trace a path along Clark’s jawline.
Clark shuddered at the touch, at the trail of fire left behind where Bruce’s fingers had slid across his skin. He wanted to lean into it desperately. He didn't.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered instead. His chest ached.
Bruce pressed his palm flat against Clark’s cheek. “I know,” he said. And then, “Red lights on.”
Or: After a difficult case on another planet, Clark deals with his guilt by not sleeping or taking care of himself or talking to his partner. When it all comes crashing down, Bruce finally intervenes.
