Series: The Gardens of Wayne Manor
The Gardens of Wayne Manor is an AU based on a plot bunny by stranj100, in which Clark Kent's life goes in an unexpected direction at an early age and ends up entangled with Bruce Wayne's. The Clark of this AU is based a lot on the current comic canon, in which (as in the animated series) Clark isn't told he's not human until his teens. The Bruce of this AU is largely comics canon as well, based a great deal on Denny O'Neil's Bronze Age origin story " The Man Who Falls."
The story will eventually be slash, but it's not going to be anything overt for quite a while. ^-^
This series will be updated most Tuesdays and Fridays, with breaks between each arc.
