Superman reacts to Damian anonymous October 17 2011, 05:42:31 UTC

Batman is such a self-righteous prick, Superman thinks. Clark's had just about enough of Bruce's disproving glares, how to make the goddamn Batman realize that the clone isn't a his son ( ... )

This was, of course, the entire point, if Clark judged correctly. Bruce would blame himself for the Irish potato famine if he could, but Dick was stubbornly refusing to outgrow the idea (or ideal) of Bruce as perfectly wise and magnanimous in all things ( ... )

I'm really enjoying this, anon. :D

Brilliant! Loving this!

Worst OP of all time? anonymous October 25 2011, 15:38:32 UTC

Probably. So here I am, again, late. Later than before. After I said I would do it right away.

Anyway, this continues to be beautiful and brilliant. I think my favorite thing here is the image of Bruce as an aging Atlas. This is exactly what I was craving. THANK YOU! And I like Dick trying to make the best of a bad situation. He's a wonderful source of support and reason. Not to say that Bruce's guilt isn't reasonable. He didn't know (and couldn't have know, Dick is right) but still, the guilt is understandable. And Dick's use of the word knower? Wonderful.

I continue to enjoy Superman. I think Supes as reader-avatar works on a very meta level. Aren't readers all voyeurs? Voyeurs infringing on the lives of fictional characters, non-persons, but voyeurs nonetheless?

Thanks for writing this fantastic story. As always, looking for the next part.

Dick released his grip; Bruce managed to get about four feet between them without making it seem like an adverse reaction. Bruce focused his attention to the Batcave’s computer, summoning the holographic displays and Dick drank the last of the milk and high fructose corn syrup in the cereal bowl. Too intense a moment? Clark couldn’t be sure, but they were politely ignoring each other for right now ( ... )

“I can also say you’re a spoiled brat. I try not to.”

Dick punched him in the arm, and this was another oddity of their relationship, in Clark’s opinion. Kids simply did not use that particular gesture of familiarity with their parents; it was more suited to a sibling or close friend. Heck, it was more suited to anyone who wasn’t Batman.

“Believe it or not,” Bruce continued, “Between you and Damian, I thought you’d be the jealous one.”

“Because I’ve been an only child for sixteen years?”

“No, like I said-more that you’ve been a spoiled brat for a comparable length of time.”

Dick leaned harder, chin digging into Bruce’s shoulder and forcing him to support more of his weight. “You’re a jerk, you know that? I mean, I know you hear it all the freaking time, but do you actually know that?”

He was smiling, slightly, above Dick’s head and out of sight.

“A spoiled brat who sulks and damages my property whenever I’m not paying full and absolute attention to you ( ... )

Re: 9/idek yet anonymous October 31 2011, 11:42:01 UTC

I adore the relationship dynamic you've got going on here. The list of "I do this, you give me this" was freakin' beautiful. xD

OP anonymous October 31 2011, 15:15:42 UTC

Haha! Yay! Update.
As always, love the new bits, but two things in particular struck me as brilliant. First, I love the gesture of Robin punching Bruce and Clark's reaction. :D And also, I love Dick pointing out that Bruce always rewards his bad behavior. :D

Awesome. Thanks.

Re: 9/idek yet mishagirl October 31 2011, 15:57:24 UTC

I continue to love this! The interaction between Bruce/Dick is great and so spot on!

10/idk yet--while it doesn't come up in this batch, please assume the TW continues from here on! anonymous January 2 2012, 12:39:42 UTC

AN: Wow, sorry, got beaten in the face by RL, but Talia's appearance in the tie-in comic helped jumpstart this. Weisman's also Jossed me on the nickname of Dick's uncle, so just... ignore that. I originally didn't want to update again until I got Bruce and Dick out of the cave, but as long as it's been... sorry again ( ... )

“Yeah, well.” Dick shrugged. “It’s not like it’s a new experience for me. I mean, ‘circus freak’ is funny once or twice or twenty times-but if he wasn’t your kid, he would have had a ‘Hey, Rube!’ on his hands before the count reached forty-seven.”

Clark could see Bruce’s spine curving forward, almost hunching over. Dick, sensing the motion, lifted his weight from Bruce’s shoulder-but still kept himself firmly within what Bruce would normally consider personal space.

“I don’t want you to feel obligated,” he began, but Dick raised a hand, cutting him off.

“Bruce. Of course I feel obligated to you. I don’t think anyone else alive could have done everything you’ve done for me--”

“Would have, you mean, many could have--”

“Which,” Dick said, the raised hand closing around Bruce’s upper arm, “is exactly my point. Detective.“I’m really not in the mood to be called that ( ... )

“And I can kinda understand the Highlander approach to fraternal relations,” Dick said fairly. “I mean, Ra’s is what, six centuries old? How many kids do you think he’s had in that time? But Talia is the only one who gets any of his attention.”

“Right: his perspective has been so warped by Ra’s-with Talia’s compliance-that I don’t know if there’s anything left for us to work with.”

Dick looked pained, carefully controlled sympathy clear in his expression. “You’re not ever going to forgive Talia for this, are you?” Belatedly, he tried to lessen the grimness: “Next time you start feeling the creeping approach of a cold, empty nest, I bet you go right to Selina.”

Again, Bruce rapped Dick on the head, before gently pushing him away. “If I ever show any interest in having another kid, that’s your clue that I’m an impostor and I want you to kill me,” he deadpanned.

“Would that be before or after I deal with the impostor, boss? Just so we’re clear.”

Bruce shook his head. He was done with the joke.

Dick didn’t quite deflate, but he ( ... )

Imagine my surprise this morning when I saw you had updated! Great to have you back, thanks for the update, and as always, I look forward to seeing where you take this story!

Re: 12/idek yet anonymous January 2 2012, 22:51:11 UTC

Yeaaaaah. I don't suppose Bruce is very interested in 'putting a ring on it', especially when she warped his son into having a mindframe where he wants to kill his other son.

Bruce and Dick's dynamics in this story is officially the best I've seen so far. Your version of Dick is even more of a smartass than usual. I totally love it, and the way Bruce deals with it.

"“If I ever show any interest in having another kid, that’s your clue that I’m an impostor and I want you to kill me,”

Well. Does "having another kid" refer only to the conventional way of doing it? Because what if Tim and Jason show up - granted, late - to this verse? Does that make him an imposter?

Anyway, I'm so happy you updated! I'd like to see how long Superman sits there creeping on the Bats.
