:D Haha, it's true - and it's only going to get more complicated once Batman gets tossed in here, so, uh, brace yourself. This is definitely going to be another long one. /o\
As always, your excitement and enthusiasm give me life! :D I'm so glad you like their ridiculous flirting, and I really wanted Clark to marinate in the idea of kissing Bruce for basically as long as possible, so. And I'm EXTRA glad that this:
it's one of those things you probably wouldn't realise until after you've left
makes sense to you, because I wanted to make it clear that Clark kind of WAS in a rut and really did need a change in perspective. :D
And oh no, does Clark not recognise Diana? But he's seen her, no?
... Technically yes! I admit it, this is a bit of a handwave - but he only saw Wonder Woman for the first time in the middle of Stryker's basically right before he died, so I figured it wasn't too big a stretch to think he wouldn't recognize her in such a wildly different context. ;) (And it won't last; as a contrast to Bruce and all his issues, Diana is going to be upfront about things when Clark capes up again.)
:D Haha, thank you, OP, I'm so thrilled you liked the party and Clark and Diana's dialogue, Clark's mood at the end, just all of it! /o\ :DDDDDDDDDDD And most especially the build-up - with this prompt, I really wanted to try to get Clark to a place where it made sense for him to want to hook up with Bruce Wayne. And for that hooking-up to be coming from a positive place to start with, because, um, yes, angst. SO MUCH ANGST. Bruce angst, Batman angst, and Clark ... well, sads, at least. ;D But a HEA in the end, never fear!
And I say this basically every time but you deserve it basically every time, so HERE IT IS AGAIN: THANK YOU FOREVER, braintwin OP, for your kindness and generosity and confidence and, of course, AMAZING PROMPTS. ♥ I always feel so happy and so lucky to be filling anything of yours, and so very glad to be here.
Re: FILL: as to which may be the true; Bruce/Clark, identity porn (8/?)
