[arch_schatten]

I bought Left 4 Dead 2 for Steam and I've spend most of my free time killing Zombies since last week! it has been the definition of stress relief :D I suck at it, though, but the online community is actually pretty nice and fun and articulated! so even though I'm such a n00b I haven't been shamed to death yet. There's still hope for me

So sweet, I loved it. What a smile I got when Clark confessed that he usually waited for Bruce to take the lead because he was so stubborn! Ha, ha, And Bruce's defense, well I'm always open to sensible ideas, even if they're not mine! LOL! Their little compliments and the shared secret that they do love each other. Wonderful! I always love Diana's and J'onn's observations of them.
Thanks, this was great!

Thank you! So glad you liked that, lol, my Clark tends to let Bruce do his thing because.. Bruce is a bit of a stubborn guy! though sometimes they bicker like titans, lol. I loved writing Bruce's sad defense! he's not that bad, he swears! X) So silly! thank you so much for reading, so glad you enjoyed! :D

Whee! Thank you, m'dear! :)

I loved the Eldiran setting and how everyone was happy, even Bruce! :)

The dancing was wonderful, and I had to chuckle at Clark admitting he usually let Bruce take the lead because his friend was so stubborn. :)

Diana drowning in ruby eyes! Ooh! :)

[arch_schatten]

Glad I could deliver, Brady! thanks for the prompts!

Bruce was a bit reticent about the magical happiness, but he was having a good time anyway :P He's a stubborn man, but he swears he's open to any of Clark's suggestions! ;) he's a very accommodating man, sometimes!

I have SUCH A WEAKNESS for J'onn/Diana, so I'm glad you liked that bit! thank you for reading!

Oh! This is so poetic and beautiful!

I love the 'That's... not very flattering at all." but my favorite line is: and it was natural, their bodies moving without any conscious thought, perfectly attuned to each other after hundreds, thousands of fights, training drills, sparring sessions. Patching each other's wounds, carrying each other away from danger.

Lovely! Beautiful, poetic buildup and warm, dreamy language.

[arch_schatten]

Yay! thank you!! :D I had fun with this, though I gotta say I wanted Bruce to relax some more, but my muse got all hung up with the magical coercion and the abuse of his free will and he would not relax! come on, Bruce! SMOOCH ALREADY! :P

I love sheepish Bruce, though, feeling bad for his hard headed ways :P but we love him that way! and he really is open to any ideas, as long as they are good ideas! I just love the ease of their partnership turning into friendship turning into romance. Makes for such sweet build ups :3

Thank you for reading :D

Eeeee, Mina, this was so lovely! :D

"Needed a moment to myself." He gestured, bare hands moving lazily in the air. "Everyone is so... enthusiastic."

Awww. *glomps Bruce*

Suspiciousness felt out of place, but Clark could see why Bruce would hold on to it.

Awww. *pets them both*

He was obsessive and thorough to the point of being infuriating, he was careful and deeply private. He was brilliant and gorgeous and Clark wanted him.

*flails*

"I think that I don't like magic."

*giggles* Well, that's a given, isn't it? :p

"Accepted and wanted are quite different things. As are accepted and shared. Besides, it's a magical compulsion. I would not-" he turned mid sentences, his gaze lingering on Clark's lips for a second before he met his eyes, "-I would not burden anyone just for the sake of getting something off my chest."

*huggles Bruce*

Clark smiled, seeing Ollie and Dinah getting a bit too comfortable in one of the tables near by. "Knowing those, this planet is just an excuse to get their kink on."

*snickers*

Clark laughed,

[arch_schatten]

Yay! thank you, Star! so glad you liked it! Bruce was not happy with all that magic in the air :P

And.. I am very oddly taken with Summer/Winter comparisons with S/B! Bruce makes for such a gorgeous winter :P especially because he's not just barren and cold, but.. full of surprises. <3 I miss him so much...

Thank you for reading, Star! :D

"With the Princess, that is. I mean, you're okay, big guy, but you're not my type."
:D Nice. *smile*

there was something about Eldiran that made the city -strangely- inherently joyous. Like every atom vibrated in a different frequency, one that charmed its inhabitants into a carefree state of delight.
That was very well and fittingly written!

Clark waited for Bruce to come to the same conclusion he had. Bruce was the kind of guy who would would experiment with his own thoughts, shaping them like pieces of a puzzle, looking for the one that fit the gaps. He was obsessive and thorough to the point of being infuriating, he was careful and deeply private. He was brilliant and gorgeous and Clark wanted him.
Clark knows Bruce so well! And I loved the way you described Bruce’s way of thinking and acting through Clark’s thoughts here.

He felt another rush of heat spread through him as he held Bruce's thoughtful gaze. Damn the magic, it wouldn't even let you hide from yourself.
AWWW! The magic. *grins*

"It's coercion. To trick you with

[arch_schatten]

Yay! thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed it!

I love looking at Bruce's thinking processes from other people's POVs. I.. am too fond of looking at Bruce think, lol. And Bruce and Clark face things in very different ways, but in the end they want the same things, so.. it's fun playing with their different approaches to everything and see how they converge :)

Writing them dancing is hard because.. is so much like fighting! I have problems with those sequences, so I'm very happy you liked those bits!

I have such a soft spot for J'onn/Diana, I'm glad you liked it! Thank you so much for reading! :D :D
