Very hauntind description of the Manor!

And a great cliffhanger there. Yay, Diana! :)

[mithen]

I was so happy Diana decided to show up! She might have wanted to pick a different time and place, but it'll get sorted out soon enough... :)

I bite my nails pretty much every time a chapter of this pops up, but it's so good I keep reading. (Everything of yours I've read is so good I keep reading, even when it's stressful; now that the wrestling fusion's finished I might even have to go back and read that one, too, despite having no desire to watch wrestling!)

[mithen]

My love of cliffhangers is very much being indulged in this series, isn't it? And I have been told that the wrestling fusion series holds together pretty well even if you don't have any interest in wrestling, but honestly I'm not sure if they're right, so take it with a grain of salt...

The Manor loomed against the starry sky like an enchanted castle in a fairy tale, ruined ramparts touched with silver. Clark pushed his way up the hill, thistles snatching at his borrowed clothing as if to warn him off, and found himself on the threshold at last.

Oh, I loved the fairy tale element to this, as if the manor was sleeping, even amid the eeriness of it...

He looked up after them, feeling something tug at him imperiously, demanding. The sky, the stars, the wind--what was it he wanted?

*flails* Oh, this and the description of the manor-! *flails again*

with no warning at all found himself face to face with a dark figure, crouched in the shattered window, nothing but a gleam of eyes within the darkness to tell Clark it was human at all.

The silence seemed to thicken, waiting, and Clark knew with a sudden lunatic certainty that if the figure were to speak, it would be with the voice of a forgotten nightmare.

*incoherent noises*

You’re so young, the thought came to him so strongly that for a moment he thought he’d said

Oh, I loved the fairy tale element to this, as if the manor was sleeping, even amid the eeriness of it...

The Manor in the movie looks like an enchanted castle, don't you think? It's really beautiful and haunted...

Oh, and this-! *pets Bruce very gently*

I don't generally like the view that "Bruce" is the mask--BUT I can so see BRUCE believing it at times!

Eeeee, Diana! I can't wait to see what you do with her! But also, eeeeep! Oh wow, I can't wait to see how Clark - and Bruce! - are going to react to her...

I started writing it, and it's...hard! I want Clark to misunderstand a bit, but on the other hand Diana is not going to put up with that kind of misunderstanding for long (I mean, I think it will be abundantly clear from a few moments of seeing how she interacts with Bruce to realize they're not together that way, you know?) Diana's a little daunting, too, to be honest! She's just amazing...

“He was familiar,” Clark said, and Bruce felt the world spin to a halt. “I...remember him from somewhere.”
WOW

“What the hell was he doing in Wayne Manor?”
If you only know Clark… Well,he will... one day.

Clark laughed. “You idiot,” he said. “Every time you push me away, every time you insist I don’t know what I’m doing, you only prove even more that you’re a good man who actually cares about me. If you were half as horrible as you claim, you’d have grabbed the opportunity and gotten me into bed with you while I was still deluded.”
Oh, Clark <33

Bruce Wayne, Clark had concluded, was not a fundamentally truthful man. That didn’t mean he wasn’t honest or trustworthy. But Clark could tell that Bruce and the truth had a complicated relationship.
Nicely said. :)

Without thinking, goaded by the anguish he heard running under Bruce’s words, Clark came around the corner.
To find a woman sitting on Bruce’s bed as though she belonged there. Oh my… Diana. Such an awesome surprise

If you only know Clark… Well,he will... one day.

He will! And quite soon! No more than three more chapters, I believe...

Poor Clark is still so confused trying to understand who he is. Alas Bruce is not helping too much here. I understand his feelings about Clark knowing the truth though...

Poor Bruce! And poor Clark! It's just difficult all around for them...

I'm hoping to have the next one up soon but I'm struggling a bit with real life eating up my time! Wish me luck!
