    Summary

    “We would need some rules.” Batman finally said.

    “I can do rules!”

    “I bet you can, Boy Scout.”

    “I was never a Boy Scout.”

    “I don’t believe that, but that’s beside the point. My first rule: don’t come to Gotham. This is my city.”

    “I can’t come to Gotham ever?”

    “No.”

    “What if you need me?”

    “I won’t.”

     

    TLDR: Batman and Superman meet for the first time and end up working on their first case together, they uncover feelings as they uncover the truth behind mysterious shipments to Gotham.

    Summary

    "Guys like us." Batman repeats the phrase as if it's the first time he's heard it, and Clark swears that he almost quirks a smile. Then the moment passes, and he closes off again. "Thanks, but I work alone."

    Clark holds up his hands and rises back into the air. "Fair enough. If you ever change your mind, you know where to find me."

    That should be the end of it, and it's fully what Clark intends. But some less-than-stellar impulse (he does occasionally have those, contrary to popular consensus) prompts him to take a brief peek through Batman's mask, if only for simple curiosity's sake.

    He nearly drops out of the sky.

    -OR-

    Within a day of their first meeting, Batman and Superman discover each other's greatest secrets. It makes for a pretty effective ice-breaker.

    Summary

    Clark attends a masquerade where a handsome stranger saves him from a handsy lady. The handsome stranger isn't a stranger at all, although he acts like it. Bruce Wayne flirts with him like they don't know each other, but Clark would know that chin anywhere; would know that heartbeat from anyone else's. So why is Batman really flirting with him?

    Summary

    Secretly, somewhere deep, deep down--beneath the layers of animosity, sarcastic humor, and the hardened shell of a personality he called a secret identity--Bruce Wayne definitely wanted Superman to rip his clothes off.

    But not like this.

    Summary

    "Clark. What the hell is this," Lois asks, staring at Clark's Bruceman WIP folder. Clark's first instinct is to fly away, but that would still leave his fic on display for her to see. His second instinct is to blast a hole straight through his laptop screen with his heat vision, which isn't much better.


    Clark, in an attempt to make some spare cash, unintentionally stumbles into the world of superhero fanfiction, becomes a prolific writer for Gotham's OTP, and tries his best to fend off rival fans who want him to convert to superbat instead.
