You'll receive no help from me about that chapter count. ;-)

I love this fiercely. I love how self-aware Clark is becoming, however unwelcoming it may be for him.

I imagine if he did bring a bar of soap, it would be promptly trashed and Clark would still be in his current situation. Bruce is nothing, if not calculating. And Clark didn't make that shake, did he?

And your Bruce is lovely and gruff and fairly uncommunicative. It's interesting getting glimpses of him through Clark, who isn't inclined to speculate about him beyond his past life as a sadistic gym coach.

I also love that I'm learning, too! Ukemi is actually pretty neat too watch.

Thanks for this!
