<blockquote>It’s hard to stay cynical in the face of Clark Kent and his relentless optimism. Looking at him there, still in his button up shirt from his business trip, sleeves rolled up, still focused even though it’s pushing midnight, she feels a warm, steady wave of fondness in her chest. She wishes they could do this every night. Not the pulling a furious all-nighter right after someone tried to murder her – that part she could take or leave. But it would be nice to spend every evening with Clark. She’d always told herself she liked her space, but being with Clark was like having space and having company rolled into one. Her highly caffeinated, sleep-deprived brain catches up with the implications of that thought process, and she thinks, shit. - After years of pining after an alien demi-god who is, much as she hates to admit it, miles out of her league, Lois realises she's caught feelings for her co-worker. Unsure whether or not to tell him, she seeks advice from the most sensitive guy she knows - Superman. Things don't go as she expected...</blockquote>

<blockquote>Bruce and Clark are sleeping together, but it doesn't mean anything in particular. Bruce has started—giving Clark things, too. But that doesn't mean anything either. Right? (Or: five things Bruce gives Clark, and the feelings Clark has about them.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Clark had already liked wearing the black suit a little too much. The black suit—the black cape.</blockquote> ➤ alien marriage customs!!

<blockquote>"Hippolyta," Lois said, really really calmly, "I think there might have been a slight misunderstanding about why I'm here."</blockquote>

<blockquote>Alfred had matters well in hand, for a time. He wasn't about to lose his head. He understood how he must proceed; he knew how to bear this sort of thing. Patience, dignified silence, quiet courtesy. That was the ticket. It needn't provoke any tension or awkwardness. He would simply refuse to let it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Post-BvS AU: Batman killed Superman—and then Metropolis was wrecked by Doomsday, not long before Steppenwolf arrived and conquered the world with innumerable swarms of parademons. Bruce's nightmare has come true, in every way but one: what's left of humanity is fighting to survive in a hostile wasteland as Steppenwolf manipulates the power of a pair of mother boxes to gradually reshape the planet to serve his needs. But rumors of a threat that could be greater still are finally forcing Bruce to consider taking truly drastic steps. Like bringing Superman back from the dead.</blockquote> ➤ "basically amounts to Justice League: Fury Road"

<blockquote>It isn't quite a love triangle. For one thing, Clark's the only one romantic enough to even think the word 'love'. For another, Clark and Bruce would be beating the holy hell out of each other even without Lois' involvement. And if Lois was aware of the secrets they were keeping, she'd be beating the holy hell out of the both of them. Overall, Bruce's visit to Metropolis has been a mixed bag for everyone involved.</blockquote> ➤ all from lois's pov which is GREAT

<blockquote>Batman and Superman are fucking. Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are a great cover for fighting crime, and also might be dating. Bruce and Clark have no idea what they're doing; but they definitely aren't going to be able to talk themselves into stopping.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Diana feared for a moment that it would not work—that the light of her power wasn't enough, and the ice would never melt. But then the first splintering crack reached her ears, and a moment later the wall of it before her had cracked, shattered; pieces broke off and slid away, the ice splitting deeper and deeper, still reflecting with red-gold shimmers of light. And then, all at once, a series of gasps, ragged startled half-drawn breaths—and Lois coughed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Bruce doesn't exactly intend to start doing nice things for Clark. But once he has, he can't stop—and maybe Clark doesn't want him to try.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Bruce and Clark deal with kryptonite, get a coffee, are undercover, share a bed, face off against some tentacles, have feelings about holograms, and dream together. Or: six times Superbat didn't quite happen, plus the time it finally did. (Written for Superbat Week 2019.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>An accident involving a Kryptonian device meddled with by Lex Luthor sends Bruce forward, into a future that must not—cannot—be his own. Because sure, Clark's joined the Justice League. Clark's willing to work with Bruce to save the world. Clark's even forgiven him for what he once tried to do. But that doesn't mean they're going to—that doesn't make it plausible that they'd ever be—that they would get married.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Post-BvS, pre-JL: Five conversations Diana and Lois could have had, and one time there wasn't all that much talking left to do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Clark Kent woke up, ate breakfast, went to work—the same way he did every day. Ordinary. Except for the part where Superman hadn't been seen in at least a week and nobody knew why, Lois was acting kind of weird, and Bruce Wayne was insisting that Clark was the only reporter he'd allow to run a feature on the crashed alien ship in the park, since Wayne Enterprises had been granted control of the site. And the way Clark felt every time Wayne looked at him a little too long definitely wasn't helping. But it was fine. Clark was normal, there was nothing wrong with him, and everything was fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>“Tim Drake, huh? Of the Gotham City Drakes. Fancy.” Conner touched the photo attached to one of the newspaper clippings, Tim’s face grainy and small. “Hey, I can handle it. Just because I’m not super used to going undercover on my own doesn’t mean I don’t know how it’s done.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Post-JL: Steppenwolf isn't interested in accepting defeat and walking away. Superman's proven that he's the key to conquering Earth, and Steppenwolf returns with a plan for how to deal with him. A plan that Bruce is able to throw a wrench into—but not without certain unintended consequences. Written as a fill for the dceu_kinkmeme prompt: Bruce/Clark, involuntary soulbonding. (Full prompt in author's notes.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Alex introduces Brainiac 5 to an Earth tradition. Coda for 3x10. Notes: When you run 0011101000101001 (what Brainiac 5 wrote on Alex's cast in 3x10) through a binary-to-text converter you get :). WHAT A RIDICULOUS SWEET DORK.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"Alfred, tell us about your bake."</blockquote>

<blockquote>“I had to do some things, Mark, to get us funding for your rescue mission without sacrificing future Ares missions. I had to make some...deals, and leverage a lot of different relationships to put enough pressure on Congress to get funding. Wayne Enterprises helped a lot with that pressure.” Mark narrowed his eyes at Vincent. There were some rather concerning euphemisms and elisions there. “I’m really grateful for all that, Vincent. But what does that have to do with me going to dinner with Bruce Wayne?”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Post-BvS, Diana and Lois start to develop a habit of protecting each other. But sometimes habits become ruts, and every now and then it's a good idea to break out of them. (Or: a whole bunch of times Diana and Lois looked out for each other, plus the time Lois ended up feeling like it might be worth it to be just a little less careful.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Hey Liz, Apparently, I'm the captain of the Decathlon team. Or something. I was just wondering if you had any quizzes or guides that I could use. Thanks, MJ</blockquote>

<blockquote>It isn't difficult to go on in the wake of Superman's death. His resurrection, though, poses a problem—especially when it turns out there's no such thing as the right moment to explain that Martha Kent's obnoxious billionaire friend? Is also the man who tried really hard to shove a kryptonite spear through Clark's face.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Bruce goes to the funeral as himself for a reason. Not so he can make friends with Mrs. Kent; that part's an accident. And definitely not so he can posthumously fall for Clark Kent, which is an even bigger accident. But it's fine. He can handle it. Until Clark rises from the grave, that is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Five times Alfred and Diana were (technically) not on a date, and one time they finally were.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Post-MoS AU: Clark, struggling to deal with the events of Black Zero Day, is assigned a straightforward human-interest piece—on Wayne Enterprises. Then Batman catches Superman's attention, Clark Kent starts investigating Batman, Bruce Wayne spends a lot of time arguing with hitting on Clark Kent, and Bruce's best efforts to find a way to hurt Superman start to bear fruit. And then things get complicated.</blockquote>

<blockquote>It takes a while for Batman and Superman to work things out, once Clark comes back from the dead. Pretending to date each other in order to explain why Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are in the same place so often? Doesn't help as much as you might think.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The evening of the benefit in support of the new Thomas and Martha Wayne Rehabilitation House, Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent spoke with billionaire Bruce Wayne about love, family, and his parents' legacy. Log in to dailyplanet.com to read the full profile. Notes: My favorite thing about superheroes is when they're forced to interact in their everyday personas and act normally. My second favorite thing is intrepid reporter Clark Kent. My third favorite thing is superheroes subtly trolling each other.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DIANA IN A MOVIE.</blockquote> ➤ drawn from the trailer and from batman v superman. I like the animated Wonder Woman vid set to this song better but it's also hard to argue with having another vid on the same theme

<blockquote>Bruce Wayne is very popular at parties. Bruce Wayne always has an alibi. These two things are related, and only sometimes on purpose.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Superman decided to try out a new costume. He did not consult the artist. In fairness, he was a little miffed that he'd been drawing weird porn of him, so. Fair's fair.</blockquote> ➤ as seen on tumblr!
