Recs! Awesomeness!
Rrrg, behind on comment replies ... but the awesomeness of the last week must be proclaimed before I get too caught up in other things and neglect it!
First off ... yazzle did an amazing illustration of Dust billowing behind him, Clark approached the train. He had originally intended to keep his distance from it, but had since grown rash under the influence of speed. He drew up next to the black locomotive, easily keeping pace with it. Presumably bored with the monotonous landscape, none of its passengers were looking outside, but he grinned up at their windows anyway. He never wanted to slow, never wanted to stop, and then-
A pair of eyes locked with his, blue and sharp. Clark stumbled to a halt. The train roared past and he couldn’t take his eyes off of those eyes. The train fled eastwards and he watched those eyes for as long as they watched him-and long after they stopped. The train receded across Kansas and Missouri and Illinois and Clark watched. From beside the train tracks, from the barn, from his room in the night-he watched.
When that piercing blue finally faded into the distance, he waited for the panic to set in. He had been an idiot. Someone knew his secret. His parents could be in danger-the entire town could be. Then, he remembered the look in those eyes, and he knew that panic was unnecessary. In its stead came something like … liberation.
from my fic First Impressions for the World's Finest Gift Exchange. Ahhhhh, her art is so gorgeous! So much more awesome than I ever could've imagined, with Clark looking so happy while he's running, and Bruce looking so pretty on the train in the sunlight and his Batman Begins coat. Mmmmm. And it's rated G! There is no excuse not to look at it! *shoves everyones towards Yaz's journal* I also stalked the comments to see who made the request *grin* and I have to thank sasha_anu and jen_in_japan for doing so. I am so honored that anyone would ask for art based off of one of my fics *dances around making lots of happy burbling noises*
And if that wasn't enough, then jen_in_japan went out on a limb and posted Clana for me (my not-so-secret guilty pleasure pairing =P) ... and set in the Superman for All Seasons universe, too! I know that Clana isn't the most popular of pairings in LJ DCU fandom, but you are seriously missing out if you don't read this fic. It's tender and erotic and momentous and heartbreaking all at once, featuring a Lana who is strong and insightful-who understands Clark perfectly and cares for him tremendously-without tipping over into being a Mary Sue at all. And Clark here is so sweet and vulnerable and the epitome of woobie *hugs him* Plus, it fits so perfectly with the Seasonsverse, right down to the period details, that it could totally pass for a missing scene from that TPB. So. Reeeaaad it! I demand it! XD
In conclusion: I am the happiest fangirl in the world right now! Thank you! *hugs*
