The Farthest Shore by manic_intent

“Peaceful night, sir?” Alfred slid a mug of coffee onto the desk.

“Seems like it. Couple of small-time burglaries. Tipped off the cops.”

“Ah,” Alfred smiled faintly. “Gone were the days when you’d go haring off after the smallest lawbreaker, I see.”

“What’s the point,” Bruce yawned, picking up the cup. “There was a cop car close by, and lately the police are more likely to shoot at me than at a perp.”

“That might perhaps have something to do with your preferred modus operandi of terrifying even your allies, Master Bruce.”

Whoever Falls First by liodain

"There's more kryptonite out there. When the Superman returns, there's going to be an all-star battle royale in the criminal underworld. Every megalomaniacal freak will want a piece of it so they can get a piece of you. And some of them will manage. They'll weaponize it and won't hesitate to use it against you, and when that happens I will not have you flailing around like an idiot."

aka: Bruce teaches Clark how to fight.

Love, Changing Tenses by susiecarter

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.

Clark Kent vs. The Wayne Family Values by quidhitch

Life as Bruce Wayne’s paramour is hardly the glamorous, erotic grope-fest the tabloids made it out to be. They mostly do normal things like nag each other about work, eat takeout, make love, and put forth semi-respectable efforts at communication.

Life as Batman’s paramour, on the other hand, promises a slightly less conventional set of experiences
