Summary
A series of misunderstandings involving conspiracy theories and government secrets leads to a Gothamite 'connecting' Bruce Wayne to the kickboxing furries that overrun Gotham.
What follows is a truly impressive internet campaign with the sole intention of creating the most embarrassing fanfiction of WayneBat known to man. The only problem being that the deeper Jayden goes into the rabbit hole, the more they realize that other Billionaires are so, so, much worse.
Lex Luthor's ego needs a nuke anyway. Even if said nuke results in robot monkeys raiding Jayden's house because they didn't know how to use a VPN.
In this one case, the To3 authors curse might have been self-inflicted.
(I was informed recently that DC has an in-universe Ao3 equivalent called 'Tales of our own', I will be changing every instance of ao3 to to3 the next time I update)

Summary
Only a woman can uncover the tomb of Cleopatra… or so the legend says.
Sherine Ben Halimi never planned to chase myths. An archaeology-trained journalist stuck reporting Gotham scandals and fluff pieces at the Daily Planet, she longed to write stories that mattered. So when a professor calls from Egypt about a lost tomb that could rewrite history, Sherine leaves everything behind.
What she finds is more than ancient treasure; it’s a prophecy tied to her bloodline, a power buried for centuries, and a curse that demands a price. When Sherine returns to Metropolis changed, her world feels colder. Until she meets Clark Kent...
Gentle, awkward, and quietly heroic, Clark sees what no one else does : the woman behind the smile. But in a world where Superman existence is controversial, and her own legacy threatens to consume her, Sher must choose between hiding and rising.
Because some stories aren’t about crowns or curses — they’re about becoming.
And legends? Well, they never ask for permission.

Between deadline sprints and backroom whispers, Clark, Lois, and Jimmy start tugging on a thread that just might unravel into something far bigger: something with ties to foreign oil, shadow money, and a familiar bald name buried in the fine print.

“So, is uh. Everything alright, Jay?”
“Sure. Why wouldn’t it be?” Eyebrows raised in concern, Konner had the decency to look uncomfortable.
“Well, I didn’t mean to listen in, but,“ his voice dropped slightly in a hushed tone, “there’s a funeral? Do you want to talk about it?”
Or,

Summary
She would never trust a god. Even if this particular one made her look at him, and wonder.
When a quiet, sharp editor with high walls, strong boundaries and heavy trust issues is assigned to be the editor to the new guy at the Daily Planet, she doesn’t expect to get entangled with someone like Clark Kent — or the larger-than-life figure he’s secretly writing about. Set against the backdrop of Metropolis, Flight Risk is a slow-burn story about trust, power, morality, and the terrifying ordeal of being truly known.
