Oh wow, you have no idea how much hardcore h/c pushes my buttons. That was so pretty, if pretty is really the right word for someone else's pain. All that stoic Batman and self-sacrificing Superman is just perfect.

*grin* It's always so hard to figure out how to compliment h/c for me! I know just what you mean, though...arch_schatten walked me through the h/c with panache and her hand-holding really helped me slow down and focus--usually I tend to rush desperately through such scenes... :)

We've agreed that Bruce is on his best behavior when unconscious or on the brink of it. :) Glad you enjoyed!

[arch_schatten]

*jumps in* Oh, h/c is all that seems to run through my brain some days, I have to tame it! Making the pain pretty, I gotta say, is all because you can put Jen and a story and not make it turn pretty :P I'm so glad you enjoyed! (also, believe nothing of this so called 'enduring with panache and hand holding' during h/c. I had to do neither of them :P)

[yamheads]

This is why Bruce and Clark are meant to be together.

That is all.

Or not! Squee, this was so excellent. Soooo good. *flails* You guys wrote a gorgeous story!

[jij]

*flails* Thank you! I couldn't have done it without Mina, my h/c instincts are terrible! I'm glad you liked the results... :)

[arch_schatten]

Girl, do you know how hard it is to get your mail? plenty hard!

...I'm so glad you liked the story, Yaz! It was so much fun to play with Jen and Dan, I would have never done it on my own.. I need a steady hand and a firm voice to keep me from sidetracking! damn bunnies! *huuugs*

I loved this, I usually like Clark hurt/comfort but the pickle you put them into put them both into pain and they had some serious obstacles to try and overcome.

And the descriptions of Bruce's drug-induced hallucinations were terrific and them making him feel better about the affects he has on Clark was touching and sweet...

Awesome job!

Hehehe, I wanted to hurt Clark, Mina wanted to hurt Bruce, and...we compromised and hurt them both! Yay!

*purrs* That was so my favorite part of the story--which I can say without blushing as I had nothing to do with it! :) The jumbled senses really were so evocative...

[arch_schatten]

Woot! I love that in h/c, it always seems like the one hurt is the less *hurt*, since the other is agonizing.. so we made them take turns to agonize over the other! lol, it was so much fun :)

I'm really happy you liked the synesthesia! I have great love for it, and it seemed like a good way to get them to smooch :P Thanks for reading!

That was really great! Batman preforms own surgery. Nice.

[jij]

Batman is a badass self-doctor here, thanks to arch_schatten. Clark just holds the mirror and shivers, rather like I did whenever I read it. :)

[arch_schatten]

LOL, you're totally insane. Super handyman does more than hold mirrors. Like. If he wasn't shivering, Batman wouldn't perform surgery, and then we would have no story, and I'm not going to start to read Master and Commander slash to satisfy my self surgery h/c needs! :P

*hugs* My day improved muchly! I'm happy! sort of! bweee!

[jij]

Yay for Clark! He enables the story by being incapable! :)

(I have to resist the temptation to respond to all your responses! Holy Inflated Comment Count, Batman! *grin* But I'm glad your day went better! Mine was...awful! Blah! But at least I'm home and snarking up a storm with Dan...)

Oh God, Clark is as squeamish as I am with stitching up someone they love. I don't mind stabbing things, hitting people, or hell, causing PAIN for pain's sake, but surgery and stitches give me the willies, even though I consciously KNOW it's for the better.

Well, I stitched up Brandon fine, but I hated him and would purposely jab him in random places to make him shut up.

[jij]

Man, stitches make me feel faint. There's something about the...deliberateness of them that really makes me woozy, I think. :) Clark and I agree on this one.

[arch_schatten]

Stitches are... weird. I think it's the piercing of the flesh that undoes me.. cutting, okay, but piercing? -_o eee

Poor Clark.. I loved his reaction to Bruce's casual 'how harder it can be?' Jen writes such and awesome woobie Clark!
