Oh author-anon, this... this... *speechless flailing*. I don't have much new to say, because I feel very broken-record at this point, but seeing you update is always a highlight of my day. <3
Three out of every four times Bruce ends up there, Clark's out on the balcony before long. And Bruce always lets him in.
What do you want to bet that on the 1 out of 4 times Clark doesn't show up, Bruce is a bit D: and a bit *taps fingers*, *checks watch* and *makes excuses to himself, leaves early*.
"You don't owe anybody anything you don't want to give."
Oh Bruce, you sang the song of Clark's people. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THIS ADVICE WILL MEAN TO CLARK LATER WHEN HE FINDS YOU/YOU TELL HIM YOUR BATMAN.
"You're asking me to believe Batman was making better calls than you were?"
Auuuuuuugh. <3 <3 <3 This is what I love about identity porn the most. All of the times that Bruce gets to shittalk his other personas, 100% mean it, but then get it misinterpreted in various ways or maybe even willfully misinterpret his own motivations for saying the things he does. I love how Clark's not in on the (bleak, self-deprecating) joke right now--because Clark doesn't know Bruce is speaking from actual experience. He more than anyone else (who isn't Alfred) knows that Batman was making a serious error in judgement those many months ago.
I... I love how Bruce can have this very emotionally vulnerable moment of admitting how wrong he was, because there's no stakes in the admission right now. I swear to god, Bruce...
I can only hope Clark remembers all of these moments later, so that he can reconstruct Bruce's pre-emptive apology and understand just what the hell he was saying. xD
Thank you nonny. Your identity porn is sumptuous. <3 <3 <3
