    Summary

    “What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?”

    And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books.

    “I want to go to college.”

    And Talia had made that happen for him.

    (AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

    Summary

    "Whatever happened in Metropolis three months ago- I need you to wrap it up. It makes you a goddamn liability."

    "You think I don't know that?" Clark's voice is hoarse. Low. "You think I wanted this to happen?"

    Dark eyes watch him.

    "I'm not trying to be your weak link, Batman. I'm trying to survive it."

    Summary

    Bruce opened his eyes.

    A red cape rippled in the wind above him. A gold symbol—bold, and bright—stood out against the deep blue of a suit that barely seemed real.

    And then the face. Calm, focused, and unabashedly kind.

    Superman.

    “You alright?” the hero asked, voice deep and sure, like the world wasn’t ending around them.

    Bruce blinked, not sure what surprised him more—the fact that he was alive, or the man who’d made sure of it.

    “I-I am now,” he muttered, mind still scrambling after the fall.

    Superman’s smile was subtle, but real. “You know, I never get tired of hearing that.”

    And just like that, Bruce Wayne—who’d accepted death—was held in the arms of something he didn’t believe in.

    Hope.

     

    ⪻────𖤓────⪼

     

    Billionaire Bruce Wayne reluctantly attends a charity gala in Metropolis to represent Wayne Enterprises and support the city’s post-crisis recovery. There, he unexpectedly bonds with a charming, awkward reporter who turns his life around in more ways than one…
