I don't think I've ever quite seen a take as heart-breaking on the mechanics of Clark coming back to life. And now that you've shown it to us, I can't unsee it. Clark shows back up on his mother's doorstep...in a world where abominations can ravage downtown Metropolis, and men can run faster than the speed of sound: that's a world where horrors can slip in.
Do you want to see the exact moment my heart broke, and I wanted to shove all of my (shit we don't have kudos here--kinkmeme cookies??) at you?
Just because it sounds bewildered, helpless—just because it sounds like Clark—
*points at that* That. Right there.
This is part of what has always made me love the DC universe; it's so flexible, it stretches to fit any & all genres. Adventure? Romance? Comedy? Check, check, and check. I love authors that play around with how the DC slides between those genres, without ever fully becoming them. "This is the beginning of about forty-five different horror movies..." Because it totally is. It's only, well, Bruce and Clark and the Justice League that makes it not so.
FOR THE RECORD IT SHOULD BE STATED I'm the hugest, hugest fan of fics that feature Bruce & Martha's friendship and camaraderie. It's identity porn where Martha's in on the secret, and I LOVE IT.
PS: SHOUTOUT TO YOUR HAWTHORNE QUOTE, NONNY. Take all of the kinkmeme cookies and hearts. <3
Re: FILL: as to which may be the true; Bruce/Clark, identity porn (1/?)
