    Summary

    It requires every ounce of will he can bring to bear to force himself to meet Clark's eyes. Clark looks shocked; the expression is undiluted by anger or dismay, though perhaps he simply hasn't had time to grasp what just happened. His eyes are wide, round, impossibly blue. Color is rising into his cheeks. His mouth is half-open, slack, with the slightest damp shine where—

    "That was," Bruce makes himself say, and then stops. Christ, what word can he use? What adjective is there that acknowledges his trespass fully? "Inappropriate." Inadequate, but it's the best he can do, and Clark needs to hear something, needs to know Bruce recognizes his own mistake for what it is. "I apologize. I—"

    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.

    Summary

    Swanwick gave Bruce a level, unamused look. "Mr. Wayne," he said. "Please tell me you know why you're here."

    Bruce shrugged. "Won the lottery, and first-place prize is the government marries me off to an alien."

    (Or: in a universe where Krypton took an extra thirty-odd years to implode, Kal-El was sent to Earth as an adult, in advance of the ship containing the only other surviving Kryptonians; and a quirk of Kryptonian law means negotiating refuge, potential resettlement, and an alliance with the Kryptonians in general is dependent on marriage between a Kryptonian and a human. Bruce did what it took to make sure that that human would be him, instead of some poor unprepared civilian—but his efforts to learn more about the aliens, what they want and why they're here, and how, if necessary, to kill them ... don't go the way he's expecting them to.)

    Summary

    "Dabi?" Hawks called out, taking a step backwards. He swallowed. Maybe this was it. Maybe Dabi was going to kill him, after all. He was screwed. So screwed.

    Too quickly, Dabi paced forwards, meeting him face to face. His shoes very nearly touched his, that's how close he was. Hawks tried to look away, tried to tear his eyes from that cold blue stare boring holes into his face. He couldn't. If he was going to die, he'd let those eyes be the last thing he saw.

    "What are you doing?" Hawks whispered, his throat dry.

    Dabi titled his head and grinned. His smile was something terrible, something dark and malicious and horrifying. Hawks tried to take another step back, and faltered when his foot hit nothing. He glanced back, and too late, he noticed the portal forming just behind him. Dabi had him cornered against it.

    "I'm returning the favor," Dabi said, and with a laugh like a gunshot, he shoved Hawks through the swirling black vortex and dived in behind him.

    Following the events of Furnace, Hawks is desperate to prove to the Commission he can still be trusted. Meanwhile, Dabi is trying to find a way to pay off his debt to Hawks.

    Aka, the one where Dabi returns the favor.
