I loved your characterizations of Clark and Harvey. You did a good job of returning Clark to innocence, so to speak, while still making him regretful over what he did while under the influence of Red K, while making Harvey much more weary and suspicious, presumably because of what he saw happen to Bruce.
And as good as it had been -Clark blushed, it had been really good- there had been no love there, no real affection.
*wibbles*
‘Well, hello Bruce. I was driven to excess and lust filled nights by a rock from my home planet, I’m sorry if I ruffled you up’ was out of the question.
LMAO. Loved that line, although yes, definitely out of the question. ;p
And no, I don’t know where he is. Sicily last month, Amsterdam last week. He’s running away from himself. Or from you, I don’t know.”
Agh! *more wibbling*
And Harvey calling Clark scum was such a shocker. I guess Clark is pretty scummy under the influence of red kryptonite, but it's so weird to think about, lol, especially since you did such a good job of making Clark ... Clark-ish, here.
Clark lowered his eyes, frowning. “I wish I was ordinary,” he said, his voice soft.
*even more wibbling*
Clark fisted his hands at his sides. “I am not ‘lost inside my head’. You don’t know me. I did a lot of stupid things last year, but I’m not going to waste my life.”
*MORE WIBBLING* LOL, that seems to be the only quasi-coherent thought I can form with this fic. It's just so awful to imagine Clark at this point in his life, having almost destroyed it because of a silly rock and having to build everything up again--especially since this situation only exists in the SVU, so it's somehow more impactful because it's so ... rare. And then Harvey, not having been able to save his friend from this heartbreak ... eeeeee ... and I love the part where Harvey's asking Clark where he hides all his anger and lust and joy. People will be wondering that (or maybe not wondering at all) for a very long time to come ...
You’re not the only dangerous man in this room,” Harvey whispered again, letting go of Clark’s chin.
Ahhh! So Harvey is starting to get a sense of what lies inside of himself ... eeee ....
And I love how Clark tried to prove his worth to Harvey through a sexual act ... and not just for smutty reasons, lol. Ahhh, Clark is so damaged here!
“Bruce was right,” Harvey said, almost as an afterthought, reaching for his glass and the bottle of scotch again.
And I guess Clark kind of did prove himself, lol. Loved the sex scene, though, which feels like a weird thing to say about Clark and Harv, lol, but it was just what I'd imagine it to be, frantic and rushed and with meaning underlying it but not meaning that either of them would really acknowledge, considering they're both really after Bruce, not each other. And on that note, I thought this was really interesting, because I'm so used to seeing Bruce and Lex fight over Clark, so it was intriguing to see the other triangle of Clark-Bruce-Harvey.
All in all, great fic, as always! :D

I haven't watched Smallville, so I don't know anything about the whole red K deal, but I ran way with tmelange's universe and tried to make it work :P I'm really happy the result is wibble-worth!

Harvey was pretty angry! I... ahem, I might have been projecting a little in some ways, you know, when a friend is hurt by someone else, you really can't help but see the person who hurt them as scum. I'm not sure of what Clark did to Bruce -ahem, aside from the obvious- but Harvey is not pulling his punches. Poor Clark, though, he's got a really big sense of guilt here! *pets Clark*
People will be wondering that (or maybe not wondering at all) for a very long time to come ...
Yeah, poor Clark! It can't be easy for him -or for Bruce, for that matter- to pretend half of their lives that they are not the men they are. Is a real strain, and is a really big commitment to make to their cause. Clark is so young here, I feel terrible for him!
Ahhh! So Harvey is starting to get a sense of what lies inside of himself ... eeee ....
The Harvey in my head knows that there's something dark inside him, but he tried to fight it all his life.. fight it too hard, most likely, for it to be healthy. Poor dear Harv. Also, gothamites know they kick ass. Rawr!
And I love how Clark tried to prove his worth to Harvey through a sexual act ... and not just for smutty reasons, lol. Ahhh, Clark is so damaged here!
LOL, I don't think the sex had much.. sense, but hey, Clark wanted aproval and craved contact and Harvey wanted to.. to something. To hurt, to believe, to see... Harvey wanted to many things, I can understand why this might have happened for him, but Clark is harder to understand... though, yeah, he's very damaged here! he's trying to prove his worth through sex, that's pretty sad... *huuugs Clark*
I thought this was really interesting, because I'm so used to seeing Bruce and Lex fight over Clark, so it was intriguing to see the other triangle of Clark-Bruce-Harvey.
I wish I could write more on that triangle! is a hard one to pull because they are never in the same place at the same time, but I can see both Clark and Harvey being very possesive of Bruce, and Bruce being.. rather distracted by his goals, lol.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the crazy pairing :)
