(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*

*snugs* Late fb replying! that's ferret! my presentation on metaphysics went very well! Un-freaking-believable. And I think my exam went pretty good too! good day for ferrets! ...even if I'm kind of down and feel like a tool, for reasons that I shall discuss later!

I'm sorry(glad?) this still makes you cry, in a shameless kind of sorry way :P It was fun to write, and Clark was really keen on saying his piece here. Bruce smelling like Clark was the bunny that started this story! such an odd place to start, but it was the thing that clicked and needed to be written, and everything else kind of just.. fit there too.

Batman commits like.. like.. a commitment machine. In my made-up world of Bruce being a decent mentor figure, he's also not an entirely sucky boyfriend :P Also, Clark knows what it is to make personal time from a harried life, so he's not going to throw tantrums about that, nope!

The laptop adapter bit! ...to be honest, that section makes me kind of sad for personal reasons that never occurred to me while I wrote it, and now they are coming to haunt me... I'm so happy the boys have found ways to let each other in, though! You're right, out of those little things are the bigger things built.

I like to see Bruce ease into things without terrible freak outs -I expect him to have his freak outs pre-relationship, even if that's not very believable! Just... without hassle. I write Bruce the kind of life I wish I had! no hassle in change, just gradual, comfortable small changes, one at a time.. *sighs*

I'm so glad you enjoyed, kitten! so very, very glad! Thank you for reading and the help with it :3

I'm coming to these comments like 2 days late now, but I don't think I've heard about this yet...*looks at mailbox*

I saw you mention that to Brady! *hugs* I'm sorry it's a personally sad section, but it's beautiful and meaningful and gah I'm tearing up woeeee... :) Oh romantic AC adapter, I love it so.

(As a side note, Clark seems to have a tendency to interrupt himself in mid-sentence and a tendency to address himself in the second person in his journal! I'm not sure I'm happy with his journal-voice, he sounds a bit whiney...but I just need to add one little thing and then I'll share it with you!)

I expect him to have his freak outs pre-relationship, even if that's not very believable!

With Bruce, I think it's very believable. I think Bruce would put off committing for a very long time, planning and worrying, and plotting out all possible paths a relationship might go in, and even freaking out...but once he was in, he'd be in for the long run.
