AVENGERS & BATMAN (Nolan-verse)

Title: The Billionaire Boys Club by freakyperfume (PG-13)
Pairing: Tony Stark / Bruce Wayne
Length: 69,626

Author Website: Ao3
Why this must be read:
Tony always thought it was better to ask forgiveness rather than permission. When he meets Bruce Wayne, he plays it by his own rules—that is to say: none at all.

3 fics in the series, the 3rd has been left unfinished by the author for over a year.

I gave in and decided to pick this as my crossover fic because even though there are superhero universes, DC and Marvel rivalries can’t keep this being a single universe. Basically, billionaire genius playboy philanthropist non-super-powered superheroes meet and Tony Stark decides he wants to keep Bruce Wayne. Who takes some convincing in between the times he spends rolling his eyes at Tony Stark and protecting Gotham.DCU’s Justice League doesn’t come along with the Batman attachment, but SHIELD and the Avengers show up to colour Tony’s life.

Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne seem like the type of characters that would get each other on some fundamental level well enough that they’d hate each other or become metaphorically attached at the hip because they’re on the same brainwave. This fic goes the shipping route. There are allusions to superhero-ing angst related to human limits, a power couple now with a combined wealth that makes them richer than god, and people trying to juggle hero duties, real world jobs, and relationships.
