Musings On The Pursuit Of Happiness by 4nonblondesfan
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Superman - All Media Types
11 Aug 2026

Summary
It is the Summer of 1911 when Tim's train home from his final year at prep school breaks down in an isolated, small town. Anxiously awaiting his return and wondering if his parents should even notice that it has been delayed, he finds companionship in an unlikely source: the hick boy whose barn he's lodging in. With him, Tim faces the concept of happiness and the dilemma of pursuing it.
It is that same summer when Conner, who has been working to sustain his grandparents' farm every day for the past four years since he was pulled out of school, begins to dream of joining his absent father in Metropolis in pursuit of something more. Hesitant to leave his family, all it takes is an encounter with a certain stranded train passenger to force him to reckon with the concept of unconditional love and whether anything could be worth losing it for.

Summary
Daenerys Targaryen had a five-year plan, a successful law career, and complete control over her life.
Then she woke up married to a six-foot-five cowboy she met in Las Vegas.
Jonathan Stark is everything she never expected: stubborn, steady, frustratingly charming, and determined to do right by the woman wearing his wedding ring.
What starts as a disastrous mistake turns into something neither of them planned for—a ranch, a family, a whole lot of chaos, and a love neither saw coming.
Sometimes the best things in life happen completely by accident.

Summary
“Because you’ll let yourself feel that. You’ll let yourself be angry. You’ll let yourself play the protector. You’ll even let yourself flirt with me.” Her voice dropped to a fierce, broken whisper. “But God forbid you let yourself be honest. God forbid you feel something real.”
SIARA TIERNEY returns to Cork for the first time since childhood, expecting nothing more than ghosts. The streets are familiar, the faces are not, and every step through the city reminds her that she's spent a lifetime mastering the art of keeping people at arm's length. Love, belonging, permanence—she's long since convinced herself those are things meant for other people.
TADHG LYNCH is tired of being the person everyone has already decided he is. Cork sees a troublemaker, a reputation too heavy to outrun. Beneath the anger and the sharp edges is someone desperate to be understood, yet certain that the mess inside him will only destroy anyone foolish enough to stay.

The boys click instantly. Their parents don’t. For Soukoku and Shin soukoku are not friends.When Zachariah’s letter resurfaces and the promise of power, control and answers is dangled in front of Soukoku, Hiroaki is quietly pulled into the plot… and helps lure his new “friend” into a kidnapping after school.

As Itsuki wrestles with his power, his trauma and his gender, he has to decide who he wants to be – and who he can still trust.

Summary
As much as Yellow didn't want to admit it, listening to the stories about John were slowly getting to him. At first, he'd tried to ignore Arthur - then he'd tried to tell him to shut up - but ultimately Yellow was not only a captive audience, but a captive bored audience, and John was supposedly him, right? Yellow convinced himself that listening wouldn't hurt him, as ultimately it was just a weak-willed human prattling on about a fragment of a god it couldn't understand.
Right?
Or:
Or a fic where John doesn't return to the sound of Faroe's song, and Arthur is left trying to figure things out with Yellow instead - and Yellow is stuck dealing with an incredibly baffling human who may or may not be rubbing off on him.
