This was wonderful! I love Clark and Bruce's reactions as they encounter iteration after iteration of themselves...all of whom are involved with each other. *g* I confess, I was kind of hoping that they'd keep universe hopping, just so that I could see more versions of the boys!

I'm glad the two of them decided to take the universe's hint. *g*

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!

Hehe, originally I had wanted to do like 5 or 6 jumps, but I had to accept that I just didn't have the time. I had a blast writing the 3 I did get to do though.

Me too :) Thanks for commenting!

This. Was. Beautiful. I didn't submit this prompt, but it's exactly what I hoped would be written with it. Exactly.

“A little help,” he said, hoping that in the confusion, he and Superman had ended up in the same place.

Heh, I love that casualness of Bruce's part, showing how much he trusts Clark already.

Clara and Brooke were wonderful--perfectly recognizable as them, yet with an extra familiarity and ease of interaction which made them seem distinctly female.

“We’ve met other versions of us before. None as funny-looking as you guys, but still.”

HAH! Oh, it was great to see Apollo and Midnighter here. I was just sorry I didn't get to see more of them, to be honest, but leaving us craving more is perfect (because that's what your leaving Clark and Bruce doing too, right?)

And then he wondered when he’d started thinking of him as his Superman.

Awww.

“So, the Man of Steel comes to rescue his vengeful bat.”

*sniffle* Hoshi was so sad and wonderful here.

“Don’t worry, I have not harmed him

*beams* Wow, thank you so much!

Thanks! When I read that recent Countdown tie-in with the reversed gender world, I kept wanting more Superwoman/Batwoman interaction, so I had to have them in here.

Yup, exactly! Just a little taste of Apollo/Midnighter goodness. ;) I was a little nervous about writing them because I never have before, but I'm glad it worked well enough to leave you wanting more.

The language in this story is very lovely and lyrical, and the image of the ripples was just perfect. I'm so thrilled with this story! *beams

This was like having many different Bruce/Clark fics all in one; I love the idea behind it, that Bruce and Clark are destined to be together in any time or place. It's my preferred perspective on their relationship, and the inevitability of it all makes me smile.

I had a lot of fun reading this story, and I want to thank you for writing it. It's just what I needed tonight. :)

I really like thinking of their relationship that way too. No matter what version, they complement each other so well.

Thank you! Glad to oblige ;)

Yeah, I thought about changing the ending to Shogun of Steel or having Bruce and Clark show up sometime before Hana's death, but like you said, keeping the timeline adds a level of poignancy to their meeting. I'm glad that that worked for you and came across well.

Thanks for commenting!

Gorgeous!! O_O I wish it hadn't taken me so long to get back to this, but it was definitely worth the wait. I loved the gradual shift in their perception of their relationship as they met the other versions of themselves. And it was nice to see the *really* AU versions used as well as the standards.

Bravo!! :D

Thanks, I'm glad the gradual shift came through. And I'm glad you liked the AU versions, I wanted to have a good mix, show different genders and orientations, as well as some that are almost exactly like our Bruce and Clark and some who are pretty different.

So glad you enjoyed it!
