    Summary

    "So, maybe you've found your home here in Gotham. At least it's not that far, compared to Kansas." Bruce's voice is smooth and steady, his tone low.

    It's hard to keep a straight face at that.

    Clark's lips curve into a fond smile as he chuckles and shakes his head, leaning back against his seat, a hand rubbing across the nape of his neck.

    "Yeah. Maybe I have. The coffee's great here. And the company is really nice." Clark offers a smile as he meets Bruce's eyes, holding his gaze for a beat too long before returning it to his pie.

    He doesn't miss the way Bruce's heart rate stutters at his comment.

    --
    Or, Clark Kent can't do one night stands, and Bruce is just his usual human disaster.

    (This story officially ends at Chapter 5.
    Everything after that will be extra chapters, which I'll post whenever I feel like it!)

    Summary

    There was nothing, nothing in this whole, entirely vast universe, as perfect as Ryland Grace’s mouth.

    Simon knew himself to be good for close to nothing.
    But one thing he'd always excelled at was the act of worship.
    He’d long said goodbye to purpose as he’d known it.
    If his new direction in life, his singular, daily task was the endless, mindless veneration of his Savior, the adoration of the singular star in his vast, dark sky, he would find comfort in it.
    More than that, he’d find pleasure in it.

    Or about how Simon confesses (sort of) and things take an unexpected turn.

    Summary

    “Talk.”

    There’s a hitch of breath on the other end before Colt manages to speak.

    “I know you only said to contact you when there’s an emergency, but I think this really, really counts for one, man... there was an explosion near the site where Ryland was working. It happened yesterday. It’s all over the news. I came to his apartment and it’s… Court, it’s wiped. Everything’s gone. I’ve been trying to call him, but he’s unreachable.

    I have a really, really bad feeling. I didn’t know what to do.”

    or

    Ryland Grace, youngest sibling of Colton and Courtland Gentry Grace, has gone MIA after a lab explosion. His older brother finds out.

    Summary

    A new dawn arises; for thy light has come.

    His mother had always told him to no to stare directly at the sun, in the case of Him so ever mercifully reviving the dead universe, letting light shine upon them once again.

    However now, Simon could not bring himself to avert his gaze from unfocused blue waves, so different from those crimson ones lapping at his sides.
