    Summary

    Twelve hours of a Christmas morning in Gotham: Bruce foregoes sleep and grapples with change, Clark navigates Christmas at Wayne Manor and his boyfriend's emotional distance, and Dick gets the best presents. Also: Ma and Pa Kent and Alfred are the greatest.

     

    Dick would have told Bruce to turn in, call it a night. But he wasn’t planning on sleeping tonight anyway. Like his father had, he’d stay up, on-call through the night, just in case anyone in Gotham needed him, and when he did get back home, he’d have stockings to stuff, presents to unload, and Alfred’s cookies to eat.

    And, with his luck and his current guests, he’d probably finish all of that just before the sun rose, with hardly enough time to spare before everyone else was awake.

    That was fine. He’d gone without sleep for worse reasons.

    Summary

    In the early days of the Justice League, Bruce is out more and more frequently on League missions, and Dick (age 13) is growing more and more restless and lonely stuck at home. His friends can't know he's Robin, and there are no superheroes Dick's age--or so he thinks, until Bruce receives a call from Barry, desperately seeking mentorship advice. Dick asks to meet the Flash's new sidekick, but Bruce refuses; a fight ensues, ending in Dick getting grounded. One week in Gotham off patrol, and then two weeks alone, far from Gotham... at a little family farm in Smallville, Kansas.

    And hey, if a certain Midwestern speedster sidekick just so happens to turn up, that'd be just fine. Or would it?

    Summary

    “Wait, what? You’ve been texting some rando for three—no, four—days?”

    Clark stuffed an onion ring he stole from her plate into his mouth to avoid responding. Talking to Lois about this felt like opening Pandora’s box.

    Her shock morphed into intrigue, her eyes narrowing like a predator locking onto its prey. “Four days of texting, and you didn’t mention it until now? This is officially the longest your love life has lasted. Spill.”

    Or, Clark accidentally texts the wrong number and strikes a rather unusual friendship

    Summary

    When Bruce's shameless flirting over the radio comms leads to a night that changes everything, Clark discovers that some crashes happen off the track, too.

    Summary

    Clark Kent’s (maybe) boyfriend's birthday is five days after Valentine's day, which shouldn't be a problem. Only, they've barely been dating for a month and he has no clue what to get him.
