No worries, anon, I'm thrilled to get your comments no matter where in the thread they end up! ♥
:D And, as ever, I'm also thrilled you're still enjoying this. ;) Bruce's POV is just such an interesting exercise in - I mean, it's practically unreliable narration, really, the way he thinks about things and the way he justifies everything to himself. So it was certainly fun to WRITE 2k+ of him thinking, making a phonecall, thinking more, and having like a six-line conversation! /o\ I'm just relieved it was even a fraction as engaging to read. :D
How you manage to convey so much in so little still strikes me with awe
And that you can read it and somehow still praise me for being concise! You're far too kind, anon.
:D Haha, thank you - I really do love Alfred so much, and his long-suffering and gently snarky iteration in the movie was just such a delight! So I'm glad you liked that part.
how can he torture himself with Clark’s death if Clark isn’t…well, dead
Oh, he'll find a way, I'm sure! ;) Of course I wanted Bruce to be pleased, but it occurred to me that then again it's Bruce: he had a PLAN for how this was all going to work out after Clark's death, and a plan that's foiled by Clark resurrecting himself is just as foiled as a plan that falls victim to enemy action. BRUCE DOESN'T LIKE FOILED PLANS
:DDDDDDDDDDD YOU KNOW IT. This is so silly because you're about to get this in stereo when I reply to your OTHER lovely, kind, long comment, but thank you so, so much - I'm just over the moon that you're liking this and enthused about it, and so grateful for all your thoughts! ♥ THANK YOU.
Re: FILL: as to which may be the true; Bruce/Clark, identity porn (4/?)
