The niche of Clark Kent raising Dick Grayson is so empty on ao3 that I decided to write my own fic about it.

Almost Family

"He deserves that. He deserves someone to be crazy about him. Every child does."

Two months after Clark Kent became Dick Grayson's foster father, they go to a fair. Dick smiles. It's enough. Tomorrow they'll make sarmale—his Mami's recipe. Next week they'll face Bruce Wayne in court.

Sometimes healing looks like funnel cakes and cotton candy and stuffed cabbage rolls. Sometimes it looks like learning to be a family.

"What are you doing, Dickie?" he cooed, as he felt something soft and pillowy hitting the back of his head. Dick giggled in his arms, caught in the act and flicked the hand across Clark's shoulder again, bumping his cotton candy against the latter's head in another dull thwack.

BRUCE WAYNE & DICK GRAYSON in BATMAN (2016)

[biomaterial]

The night gardener once asked me if I knew how citrus trees died: when they reach old age, if they are not cut down and they manage to survive drought, disease and innumerable attacks of pests, fungi and plagues, they succumb from overabundance. When they come to the end of their life cycle, they put out a final, massive crop of lemons. In their last spring their flowers bud and blossom in enormous bunches and fill the air with a smell so sweet that it stings your nostrils from two blocks away; then their fruits ripen all at once, whole limbs break off due to their excessive weight, and after a few weeks the ground is covered with rotting lemons. It is a strange sight, he said, to see such exuberance before death.

Dec 4: Remember that time we learned Clark Kent totally peeked at all his Christmas presents with his X-Ray vision? (Justice League, “Comfort and Joy”)

[lucianite]

Because Clark is awesome and loves christmas.

[bizarrodf]

remember that time we learned clark kent is a grown man who still believes santa exists

[antifamutant]

He’s an alien and a superhero who knows other superheros in a world with a talking telepathic Gorilla, ofc he believes, anything is game.

[theoriginalcrazyferelden]

Thats because Father Christmas/Santa Claus totally DOES exist in the DC universe, and  every year, without fail, Santa fights through Apokolips’ defenses just to give a lump of coal to Darkseid.

He W H A T

[thesparkwhowalks]

The latest addition to the DC Holiday Mythos is that Batman trained under Santa Claus.

And Clark is noticeably hurt that Bruce never told him.

God, I love comic books.

dick and his sidekicks

[dinsriduur]

Din Djarin is so underrated as a pilot. He's recognized for his abilities as a bounty hunter, a mandalorian, etc (well deserved), but not often for his piloting skills. He moves the Crest in ways that are nothing short of incredible.

[fanfoolishness]

Yes! It took the movie to really get me musing on that. Not just that he knew the moves but how to shortcut the ship to get it to do what he needed. And it’s so interesting how no one else in the Watch really has access to a ship — so was this something Din learned from his own teacher, or on his own out in the world? I think it’s the closest thing he has to a hobby. The glee when he zooms around in the N-1 is hard to hide even under the helmet.
