    Summary

    "All I did was disappoint you." He couldn’t breathe. He couldn’t catch his breath. "I just wanted to do good. I just wanted to be better and all I did was make everyone angry."

    Or: When Bruce comes back from the dead, Dick goes nonverbal. Nobody seems to have the time to notice.

    Summary

    Dick knew what he symbolized to the people of Gotham – goodness.

    Whether to criminals or civilians, it didn’t matter. Nor did the sentiment differ among his fellow heroes or the paparazzi that recognized him solely as Richard Grayson, omega ward of billionaire play-alpha Bruce Wayne.

    Either in costume as Robin the Boy Wonder or Richard the fledgling socialite, Dick was unerringly, maddeningly, quintessentially good.

    So he couldn't feel what he thought he felt for Bruce. Not him.

    Dick was too good for that.

    Summary

    The billionaire suddenly held out an expectant upturned hand, and after a moment of confusion Clark hesitantly and gently placed his own atop the billionaire’s for an incredibly awkward handshake.
    Clark may be a writer, but he couldn’t possibly conjure words to describe the puzzled amusement on Wayne’s face. “I was expecting a business card.”
    “OH!” Clark flushed as he hastily pulled out the Daily Planet business card, then scrawled his name and phone number on the back.
    The playboy’s eyes still sparkled with amusement as he took the card and slipped it into a pocket in his vest. “I’ll consider your offer.”

    Summary

    Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.

    What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

    or

    Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

    UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

    Summary

    Superman couldn’t help but be offended by Batman’s hesitation towards reporters. Whenever one came up, Batman would disappear entirely into the shadows, doing all he could to not spit in their direction. When he finally learns of his identity, mild mannered Clark Kent feels awful.
