SuperbatWeek 2024 fic recs

Day 7: FREE DAY!!! Superbat? | Superbat! | Superbat

a song came after by susiecarter [T, 4,500 word count]

  • It requires every ounce of will he can bring to bear to force himself to meet Clark's eyes. Clark looks shocked; the expression is undiluted by anger or dismay, though perhaps he simply hasn't had time to grasp what just happened. His eyes are wide, round, impossibly blue. Color is rising into his cheeks. His mouth is half-open, slack, with the slightest damp shine where— "That was," Bruce makes himself say, and then stops. Christ, what word can he use? What adjective is there that acknowledges his trespass fully? "Inappropriate." Inadequate, but it's the best he can do, and Clark needs to hear something, needs to know Bruce recognizes his own mistake for what it is. "I apologize. I—"

Comment - This fic starts where usually fics with a similar trope end. Bruce is out of the dream world where he lived happily with his husband Clark. For thirty years. Now he's to deal with the cold reality where Clark is not his beloved. Muscle memory is his biggest enemy.

Conflated by PamiGami [T, 31,900 word count]

  • “Are you sure you’re feeling quite all right, sir? I was but fairly sure the head hadn't been impacted.” “No… no, please. Listen. I’m in his body, but I’m not him. I can prove it.” Ill at ease, Clark rubbed at the back of his head, not stopping to think about the weird sensation of feeling not his own curls, but somebody else’s hair. The man continued to stare at him with piercing and scolding eyes. “I believe you.” He nodded. “Mister Wayne doesn’t say please this early in the morning.”

Comment - Somehow, Batman and Superman have switched their bodies, their apartments and their day jobs. Clark and Bruce are left to figure out what to do and why they're sharing a body with some random civilian. Identity shenanigans, full throttle.

Just a Formality by FabulaRasa [E, 4,600 word count]

  • Bruce and Clark get married, for reasons. And then they fall in love. Nope, it's not Victorian time travel! I am straight up about this.

Comment - Clark didn't know that some things on this earth could be as painful as kryptonite. Things like fake marriage.

Saudade by liodain [T, 20,400 word count]

  • 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.

Comment - A soft, melancholy start to a beautiful long distance friendship between a grieving father and a Kansas youth with a heart of gold. Also known as a fic where Bruce and Clark meet before the events of Man of Steel and it changes everything.

ship-to-ship combat by pomeloquat [M, 76,800 word count]

  • "Clark. What the hell is this," Lois asks, staring at Clark's Bruceman WIP folder. Clark's first instinct is to fly away, but that would still leave his fic on display for her to see. His second instinct is to blast a hole straight through his laptop screen with his heat vision, which isn't much better. Clark, in an attempt to make some spare cash, unintentionally stumbles into the world of superhero fanfiction, becomes a prolific writer for Gotham's OTP, and tries his best to fend off rival fans who want him to convert to superbat instead.

Comment - Triple identity shenanigans and a love letter to fandom and shippers. This fic has everything - heartbreak, heartache, unrequited feelings in double doses, self sacrifices and near misses, ship wars and RPF. And on top of that, it's the funniest fic I've read across many fandoms, hands down.

tell all the truth (but tell it slant) by susiecarter [M, 33,000 word count]

  • It takes a while for Batman and Superman to work things out, once Clark comes back from the dead. Pretending to date each other in order to explain why Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are in the same place so often? Doesn't help as much as you might think.

Comment - When Batman himself is organizing and micromanaging a fake dating narrative to keep their superhero identities secret, what could go wrong? Apparently, everything. It's the worst time of Clark's life, it's the best time. It's a love story.

And last but not least, some spicy superbat fic recs!

Caught In His Gaze by DontStopHerNow [E, 1,500 word count]

  • This was supposed to be a stakeout to be sure Clark Kent had not lost his mind due to Kryptonite poisoning. Batman gets more of an eyeful than he expected when Clark does what people do alone in their apartments, though. He cannot look away.

What's In A Name? by frozenpotions [E, 15,000 word count]

  • Clark accidentally walks— or rather, flies in on Bruce enjoying a private moment. He'd probably have an easier time moving past it all if Bruce hadn't been saying Clark's name.

take a pic, strike a pose by shipyrds [E, 5,600 word count]

  • It’s probably a good thing Clark’s in private, because when he does check his notifications he almost cracks his phone in half. Bruce has sent him a picture. He’s in the suit, in the Batcave, and there’s probably other things happening in the picture, but Clark can’t really see any of those, because Bruce is– posing? Or maybe the camera just caught him like that; maybe he just happened to be catching his cape one-handed, setting off the sinuous curve of his bicep, the Bat logo straining across his chest. -- Bruce sends Clark a pic. Unfortunately, it goes out to some other people too.

My other superbat fic recs are here.

Happy reading!

Superbat Week 2024 - Day 6

It's An AU Kind Of Day

18th Century | Firefighter Clark & Doctor Bruce | Universe Swap

Listen. If you give me the opportunity to draw historical dress, I'm going to do it in a heartbeat

Bruce was obviously inspired by the Highwaymen, though I did try to include some batty aspects with the edging on his cloak and the points on his mask.

Clark was very loosely based on theatrical costuming of the era, I was trying to go for that dramatic, superreal feeling of the original Superman suit

Superbat Week 2024 - Day 4

This Is A Love Story/This Is A Detective Story

On a Case | Undercover | Damsel In Distress

Less so in recent years, but in my nearly decade and a half in the Superbat fandom, I've found the dynamic of World's-Greatest-Detective Batman/Pulitzer-Prize-Winning-Investigative-Journalist Clark Kent to be criminally underutilized

[FULL FANFIC-BIT ON AO3!]

They lock eyes every now and again; it's hard not to, for Bruce. As the seemingly middle-aged firefighter slowly strips himself of his gear, and then his uniform. On, what should be his breakfast/lunch break at 9 at night, Bruce is slow to look away from the tease of skin under the sweaty uniform t-shirt and has stopped chewing (or tasting, for that matter) his cold breakfast burrito Dick had dropped off earlier in the day on his way to work. 

This... show is a nightly one neither seem to acknowledge, as Bruce leans back, recounting neuroanatomy in a vain effort to distract from how the t-shirt really didn't hide all that much as the firefighter peels it off, slowly, slowly. 

Yes, he's had his partners make a show of it all, rightfully unembarrassed of their bodies, as they rile him up, but this? The way the firefighter unbuttons the first of his heavy-duty pants, and sighs, stomach relaxing, arms stretched above him in content... This feels downright exhibitionist. 

Yes, Bruce could have sat anywhere on the medical campus, but chose the bench next to the firehouse for the solitude it gave at night, could have chosen a different spot as his haunt when they locked eyes the first time, the fourth time, the tenth. But how could he? He's only a man. Bruce is only a man, underneath the decades of accomplishments, accolades, and loss. 

He repeats this to himself, as the firefighter locks eyes with him, once again, but this time-- 

This time starts walking over, determination in his eyes. [...] FULL WRITING ON AO3!

Superbat Week 2024 - Day 3

Xenobio Extravaganza

A/B/O | Alien Biology | Kryptonian Diet

(I am a massive xenobiology nerd, you have no idea the monster you've unleashed)

So I’m perpetually annoyed by the fact that Kryptonians look exactly like humans, have the same blood colour as humans, are reproductively compatible with humans, etc. despite being from completely unrelated planets

So I thought, what if Kryptonians developed a very mild form of shapeshifting as some kind of survival mechanism

So Kryptonian children slowly but surely grow to almost exactly mimic the dominant species of whatever place they grew up, or, like, the species they were raised by

So a Kryptonian raised by Skrull or Vulcans or wtvr would grow up to look like those species instead

It’s not a perfect explanation but it’s the first one that’s made any sense to me

Anyway, the illustration is just more of my headcanons on what remaining Kryptonian traits Supes might have, written in the style of Anatomy of a Metahuman, ie I tried to write it like these were Bruce's notes

Celestial Union

For @superbatweek2024 Day 7 : Free Day. Read on Ao3 Here.

In the heart of twilight’s gentle sweep,

Where Gotham’s shadows blend with Metropolis’ keep,

Two souls entwine in destiny’s embrace,

In a dance of love that time cannot erase.

Batman, cloaked in night’s eternal shade,

Finds in Superman a dawn that won’t fade.

In every darkened alley’s lonely plea,

The light of day, in Clark’s eyes, he sees.

Superman, with strength that lights the skies,

Feels the echo of the night in Bruce’s eyes.

In every sunlit beam and soaring flight,

He yearns for the depth of the velvet night.

Their worlds collide in a cosmic romance,

Where day and night in perfect balance dance.

Each touch of light reveals a hidden shade,

And in the dark, their tender hearts are laid.

Through battles fierce and whispered dreams at night,

Their union blooms, a fusion pure and bright.

In Superman’s embrace, the night finds peace,

And Batman’s shadow offers strength’s release.

Their love, a beacon in the darkest hour,

A tender blend of night and day’s sweet power.

For in their hearts, each finds the other’s grace,

A perfect harmony, a sacred space
