(FIC) Fluent in silence (Bruce/Clark, R)

[arch_schatten]

Written for Bruce's birthday, and posted a little bit early so I can celebrate it with starsandsea :D

I tried to do a '5 times...' but failed at the last one, so it's a '4 times...' fic. I think it works fine as it is anyway! Beta by the team beta damos and jij. All other mistakes by yours truly :)

Happy birthday to the Big Bad Bat! *twirls happily*

So, so, so much love for this fic.

As of now, they have been reassuring each other of their continued survival several times a week for eight months

Heh. I never get tired of euphemisms for Bruce and Clark having sex.

Three weeks into their relationship, Batman walks into the Watchtower meeting room and takes a seat across Superman, smelling clean and fresh and like Clark. It takes Superman’s brain a moment to realize he hasn’t seen his partner since the day before. Bruce has switched his cologne for Clark’s brand.

Superman's sense of smell is one of those abilities that tends to get overlooked a lot in the mythos and in fandom, and I love what you've done with it. Bruce choosing to smell like Clark would be a huge indicator of his feelings, and it would be endlessly intoxicating to Clark.

Thank you!! I'm so very glad you enjoyed, it was a lot of fun to write :)

I really wonder what it would be like to have super senses all the time, even if he gets to tune them out... some things must be unbearable. I'm glad you like that take on them, playing the sensory cues was what started this whole story.

I love that sentiment. Kind of a lot.

Yay! I really don't think Clark would be high maintenance, I like to see them get along without too much trouble, even if -of course- they do fight over missions and other things. I'm really happy you enjoyed, thank you for reading!

Late to the party

Your story was rec'd in the crack_van community back in January. That I'm just now commenting on this should tell you how far behind I am in my fic reading.

This is just excellent, superb.
