    Summary

    Bruce never intended to be a father, but he also didn't expect to see himself reflected in a circus boy who watched his parents die. When a meta announces himself in Metropolis, things get far more complicated--and more dangerous--than Bruce could have anticipated.

    __

    “I am one-hundred percent certain that Clark Kent of the Daily Planet is the civilian persona of the Metropolis metahuman, Superman.”

    Dick stares blankly at the screens. Then, he shoos Bruce over and starts to click through the data, astonishment growing. “Oh my god,” he begins, eyes wide. Bruce grimaces and nods, wondering how best to console Dick for the mistake he made in setting up the interview today. Then, Dick’s face splits into a grin and he squeals. “Are you telling me that I met Superman today? That’s so cool!”

    Bruce stares at his son, trying to piece together where, in the past few years, he went wrong. “You’re grounded.”

    Summary

    When Superman, better known in civilian clothes as Clark Kent, helps two boys lost in Metropolis, he doesn’t expect it to lead to sharing hot chocolate with their tired, sharp-edged father. Clark has no idea the stranger is Bruce Wayne, Gotham’s reclusive billionaire ; all he sees is a tired man with storm-cloud eyes and the kind of smile he wants to see again.

    It should have been just a coincidence, one he’d think back on fondly, and then let go. A rainy afternoon in Metropolis, a coffee shop shelter, and two boys with sharp tongues. But by the time the storm clears, Clark’s sure of two things:

     

    He’s absolutely smitten.

     

    He has no idea how to ask for Bruce Wayne’s number in front of his kids.

    Summary

    "I was thinking we could help each other out, potentially. If you were willing, of course.”

    He finishes with another blinding smile of his, and distantly, Bruce realizes the sun has started rising directly behind him, outlining the man in a supernatural sort of glow.

    “I’m not.” He says with finality. For a second, Superman looks uncharacteristically crestfallen, splitting his act in two before it’s sealed back up again. “I work alone.”

    OR

    Bruce works alone, until he doesn't. (Enter Dick Grayson, stage left.)
    It opens his guarded heart to something much brighter than the shadows.

    Summary

    The night had promised to be a good one- a rarely and blessedly mundane one.

    So why was Bruce staring down at two of his sons... as actual children? And moreover- how did he fix it?

    Just another de-age fic, with heaping fluff, moral dilemmas, and hurt/comfort goodies baked in for you personally.
