Summary
Bruce doesn’t like to credit one thing for saving his life, but if he did, it would be Haly’s Circus that Friday night in September, just as summer was beginning to die.
(He'll always be a sucker for kids with sad eyes, no parents, and more fight than the world knows what to do with.)
Or: in a universe where superheroes don't exist, Bruce Wayne finds his family.

Summary
"How old are you anyway?"
Bruce smirks a little, “Pretty old.”
“How old am I?” Dick rephrases the question. Realistically, given the lines on Bruce's face and the grey in his hair, he has to be more than a decade or two in the future. But, well, Dick's still reeling from being twelve. He can't begin to imagine a world where there's anything past tomorrow.
Bruce's smirk sinks a little, but not quite to a frown. It's a distant smile, fighting through the shadows of whatever it is Bruce sees when he looks down at him. In a quiet, mournful tone, he says, “Not that old. Not old at all.”
(A young Robin and Nightwing swap places; Batman is always the constant.)

Summary
“Tony,” Tony says, “Stark.” He watches the kid’s face for any hint of recognition but there’s none.
“Hence why those guys want you to build a Stark missile.”
“Right.”
The kid snorts, “what, do you work in R&D at your own company?” When Tony just gives him a blank look he clears his throat, “nevermind. So if you can build a missile I bet you can figure out a way to get us out of here.”
Tony sighs, turning his face away. He’s so tired. “I can’t build them that weapon, kid.”
Now it’s the kid’s turn to look confused. “Then build something else,” he says simply.
**
Or, AU where Dick Grayson has an unfortunate run in with a wizard in Gotham City and finds himself tossed across the multiverse to a cave in Afghanistan with a billionaire who hasn't gone through his self-improvement journey yet.

Summary
"Enough." Batman's voice cuts through the noise. Silence falls. Batman's legendary glare has fallen on Clark. "Superman," he says, and there's an unusual strain to his voice, "why do you think I'm Bruce Wayne?"
Clark brings up Batman's civilian identity on the Watchtower. Apparently, it's a bigger secret than he realised.
