I do apologize, seems some of my comments have been straying from your posts. :-(
Somebody's got to be in charge of him right now, and he's not sure he's up to it.
Proof that I am in fact a child: despite the angst, my first thought was that once Clark gets through the crap that Bruce has set, Bruce would in fact volunteer for that privilege.
For Clark it was yesterday.
Oh, Clark. Seriously. If the tags are not already on AO3: Oh, Bruce and Oh, Clark, pretty much sums up your fills. ;-)
… he can't get out …
Everything from it’s dark and onward. It’s beautiful. Heart wrenching. I hurt for Clark.
He's still weak in all the other ways humans are; and he's always liked that about himself, always reminded himself of it at the times when he's felt the most alien.
I just…this is… This is just beautiful. Words—my words…failing…. Guh….
"Clark," in a wobbly voice and then puts both hands over her mouth.
Oh, Martha. Clearly, you’re going for the trifecta here. Just this moment, when you know Martha had thought that it was all a horrible, wonderful dream after six months of mourning and having buried her baby boy. And he’s in the kitchen making her eggs. My heart…please stop hurting me so!
Mr. Wayne's casual tone might have bugged him any other day.
Bruce and his Batman plan. That thing about normal reactions to Bruce’s behavior; apparently, Clark also defies normalcy. But that’s to be expected; Clark never was normal.
Mr. Wayne's eyes narrow, and then he looks at Clark, raises an eyebrow, and—
I actually read this as: Batman Plan A to enforce Clark’s dislike, failed. Contingency: hit on the recently resurrected, begin.
Plus, the other reason Mr. Wayne is aware of how completely Clark's life has fallen apart is because he's taking it on himself to help put it back together.
So, I’m guessing that Bruce maybe sort of missed that if Clark is making excuses for Batman, then he might also do it for Bruce… Or if he didn’t miss it, then maybe he wasn’t expecting Clark to do it so readily.
"If I'm going to keep hitting on you at inappropriate moments, you should call me Bruce."
Oh, Bruce. And the trifecta! You get an award! I do hope he also starts hitting on Clark at appropriate moments, too.
Re: FILL: as to which may be the true; Bruce/Clark, identity porn (5/?)
