( The sun began to sink as the short winter day began to draw to a close. Jim looked over at the shoreline and saw the Manor looming up against the sullen sky. )

The holiday season is a time for parties or quiet reflection. The stories below all have a generous mix:

Traditional Debauchery showcase Clark and Bruce at The Daily Planet’s Christmas party.

Now We’re Two II: Snow-Glittered is a quiet little scene on the roof of the MCU on Christmas Eve between Batman and Jim Gordon in Nolanverse.

Golden Eagle II: Santa’s Little Helper is a saucy little tale of Diana and Steve celebrating Yuletide joy at the annual Justice Society of America Christmas party (set in the Golden Age).
