Beautiful, Mithen! :)

This really stood out:

"It looked a lot more dangerous than beautiful to me," Bruce growled as they climbed back into the sleigh, the pack animal placated.

"I don't find the two concepts mutually exclusive," Clark noted blandly. Nuktok whistled sharply and the sleigh began to glide across the snow again, saving Bruce from having to respond.

:)

You described the icehounds' senses very well.

I liked the echo of their Pack life:

Clark looked at him, his eyes a bit wide. Very slowly, he leaned forward...and nipped at Bruce's neck.

It was a clear and deliberate provocation, and Bruce had no choice but to respond.

Bruce would always be called to the Hunt!

And I like the lingering effects, with Bruce calling Clark his mate and the two of them thinking like Pack.

Clark is amazing, isn't he? He lives with that sense of smell all the time.

Bruce liking the life of an icehound doesn't surprise me. :)

Hee! This was wonderful! I liked the left-over vestiges of how they learned to interact as Icehounds, and just as much I love how Bruce is still Bruce, still Batman, no matter where he is or what he looks like. Pragmatic, driven, the voice of reason to Clark's passionate exuberance.

I also love how this brought out Bruce's playful side, and how he got an unexpected glimpse into Clark's sensory life. But mostly I loved the "Pack" concept. *sigh* ::snuggles story::

Huh, sorry, thought I was logged in. The above was me! *G*

Bruce is still Bruce, still Batman, no matter where he is or what he looks like. Pragmatic, driven, the voice of reason to Clark's passionate exuberance.

It was kind of fun to imagine how they'd translate their personalities into canine versions, with Bruce being, well, dogged, and Clark getting all the live-for-now passion. :) And Clark and Bruce being a Pack filled me with glee. Glad you enjoyed!

Clark and Bruce both manage to embody beauty and danger in different ways!

Bruce would always be called to the Hunt!

He would! He always feels like a cat person to me, but in his thirst for bringing in evildoers he definitely has a streak of bloodhound in him. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was a really fun prompt!
