🦇 "Be My Heater" by SentientBot

It didn’t matter that Batman conceptually knew the symptoms of hypothermia, experiencing it was a whole new beast. How do you call for help when you don’t even realize you need to?

🦇 "Again I Go Unnoticed" by Sam4265

Bruce Wayne moved to Smallville when he was eight years old, beginning a friendship with Clark Kent that would come to define the world. But for now they’re just teenagers in love with all the wrong people, running in circles until they finally find their way to each other.

🦇 "Satisfaction Brought It Back" by SpiritsFlame,slippin_into_darkness

(I re-read this one constantly)

Bruce always thought that Superman's cute shtick of rescuing cats from trees was a bid for publicity—until a confrontation with a magic user leaves him stuck as a cat. He learns how mistaken he was when Superman not only rescues him, but takes him back to a small Metropolis apartment. The opportunity to learn more about the alien can't be ignored, but is Bruce ready for everything he will learn about someone he has only ever regarded with distrust and dislike?

🦇 "Get Over It" by Rotasha

(i recommend Rotahsa's entire library tbh, fave fic author)

Bruce needs to get over his inconvenient feelings for Superman and he meets an attractive reporter who he thinks can help him do just that. Little does he know...

🦇 "In Every sense of The Word" by froggy-o (bobafiend)

Superman could not find it in himself to get along with Batman. Every conversation between the two was an argument, and not even Wonder Woman could force the two to make peace.

At least everything was going well at work. Bruce Wayne had recently bought the Daily Planet, and Clark was finding himself rather taken with the man.

Alternatively titled "Why Wonder Woman is on the verge of losing her fucking mind."

🦇 "Just A Pinch" by Leo_Our_Queen

Bruce bakes for Clark and the whole Batfam learns that Kryptonian taste buds are nothing like human taste buds.

Good thing Clark loves Bruce's cooking anyway.

🦇 "A Game of Misunderstandings" by JustGettingBy

Things were going well for Bruce until some hot-shot reporter learns his identity. Now, he'll have to do what he can to keep his secret quiet. Even if that means joining the game of blackmail that Clark Kent started.

🦇 "To Bring Light Back To Your Eyes" by GoldfishForHire

Months after the Justice League is formed in the wake of Steppenwolf's attempted incursion, Superman begins pulling away, becoming isolated and withdrawn. Bruce wants to help, but doesn't know how. He goes to Martha Kent for advice, and an offhand comment leads to a clumsy, though successful, outreach.

Or, Bruce bakes Clark terrible pie to make him feel better, and Clark finds this very endearing.

🦇 "All Each Riddles,When Unknown"

Post-MoS AU: Clark, struggling to deal with the events of Black Zero Day, is assigned a straightforward human-interest piece—on Wayne Enterprises. Then Batman catches Superman's attention, Clark Kent starts investigating Batman, Bruce Wayne spends a lot of time arguing with hitting on Clark Kent, and Bruce's best efforts to find a way to hurt Superman start to bear fruit.

And then things get complicated.

🦇 "The Downsides To A Secret Identity" by Liodain

Bruce Wayne has taken a shine to Clark Kent, but Clark is more interested in the Bat of Gotham. The Bat, however, has it in for the Superman in a big way. Clark should probably have considered that before falling quite so hard. They're working together to track down some missing Kryptonian weaponry, after all...

🦇 "Saudade" by Liodain

It's midsummer, 2006. In the wake of his son's death, Bruce Wayne tries to outrun his grief on a cross-country road trip. When his car breaks down on a dusty road in the heart of Kansas, a friendly stranger stops to lend a hand.

🦇 "Flu Season" by Psychobabblers

Bruce is determined to find out why Clark skipped a League meeting. Turns out, even Kryptonians can get sick once in awhile.

🦇 "Loading and Aspect Ratio" by JUBE514

It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

“ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

(This is the only ongoing fic in this list. Its incredibly well written.)
