Summary
“Here,” Steve says, in guise of explanation. Tony’s expression is puzzled. He takes his head off Steve’s shoulder, straightening his posture.
“Is that for me?”
“Yeah,” Steve breathes. His stomach is clenching in anxiety, which is ridiculous – it’s just a fucking ugly scarf, Tony knows so many people, he’s got to have gotten worse gifts before. “It’s, uh. A bit late.”

Summary
Batman wants Superman. Superman wants Batman. Eventually they'll get it sorted out.
“What do your girlfriends all see in him, anyway?” Clark asked wearily.
Lois's eyebrows shot up. “You’re joking. Oh my god, you’re not joking. Clark, Bruce Wayne is eligible, young, and rich. And even if he weren’t, I don’t know if you happened to notice this around the trauma of having to listen to him make it with a gossip columnist, but he’s practically sex in a suit.”
“Yeah, I get that. But he’s just so, so...” He made a face. “Vacant. There’s no there there. That would have to get old pretty quickly.”
She reached over and prodded him a little, her fingertips light against his ribs. “I get that he’s no Batman, but c’mon. Not everybody’s going to have access to a space station full of superheroes in skin-tight outfits to pick from. Some of us mere mortals are stuck having to settle for impossibly handsome, wealthy, sexually cooperative dullards.”
