Summary:

A new ad campaign starring Bruce Wayne is making the rounds in Metropolis, and it doesn't take long for Clark to become aware of it. Soon he finds himself obsessed with the photo that started it all and what it represents. What does it mean to be friends with one of Gotham's rich and famous? And was there even space for a man like him in the life of Bruce Wayne? A story based on a Superbat themed redraw of "Veil By Kotteri - Scene 14" (art linked in notes).

Nothing here....

Thank you so much! I just got around to finishing it - I’m so sorry to make you wait, I’m the worst 😭

Viktor is stopped by Jayce when he tries to leave after a shared night. When he decides to stay after all, he struggles with the onslaught of long repressed emotions trying to take hold of him. - A bittersweet moment between the Machine Herald and the Defender of Tomorrow, long before they are able to admit to what they truly feel for the other.

In an attempt to gather funds for Hextech, Jayce is forced to mingle with Piltover's high-society. He quickly realizes that they show little interest in what he has to say, but certainly are interested in him. Once things escalate against his will, he finds himself unable to deal with his emotions. He decides to swallow it down, keep it a secret from Viktor, and move on…until Viktor one day becomes witness of how Jayce is treated by the so-called elite.

This story was inspired by an idea from @januariat: Link.

I made some changes to it though to fit the flow/beat of the story better.

It is set during the early days of them working together, like end of year 1/early to mid year 2 at most. They are already pretty close, but the Hextech work isn't that far advanced yet.

Clark comes home to find a bat had crashed through his window. - When Batman ends up being poisoned by Scarecrow, he seeks shelter in Clark Kent's apartment.

When an investigation forces Bruce to once again flirt with a suspect in order to acquire much needed evidence, the whole ordeal leaves him unusually distressed. Clark, who accompanied him to help with the case, is the one who has to help him snap out of it again. A story about their personal trauma revolving touching others and being touched, and how they manage to meet in the middle and mend each other's wounds.

Finally got to finish this! 😭 I always loved this contrast between a Clark that so much wishes to experience touch without worry, and a Bruce that by now struggles with the sensation from years of using his body as a mere tool.
