The Chloe/Davis one.
Oh wow that was fast. Yay yay YIPEEE! I like it when you try and get over creativity block. XD Nothing seems to be blocked!

The room darkens around him with quickening breaths that leave his mind spinning in dizzying circles
(like when he was younger and pretended it was just a game).

This has always just really hurt to think of, even before Eternal, can you imagine a kid going through that. A kid trying to deal-even if through a game?

This is all beautiful. So beautiful. There will never be enough aus to that finale.
And so few words. I've seen 4000 word fics that didn't say as much.

"Chloe", he gasps, eyes flashing red as she sadly smiles.

And you are killing me with the ambiguity.

Interpretations
01. Maybe the monster is still in him, and its after Doomsday's fight with Clark, (his eyes are red) and Chloe is crying because he will die or Clark will die and she still can't let go.

02. Maybe after the black k spit he is trying to hold together and wait for death/being buried as per Ollie.

03. Maybe it's post fight with Clark and it'll just never end for him. Killing as Doomsday and and dying over and over. Chloe knows it.

04. He's so unsure about what has happened, so confused as to what kind of monster he is. Maybe this is the way Davis is perceiving things as he is dying. It's his fairytale (her tears healing him like a BATB story), but like pretending this was all a game, it's not real either.

Now I want to know, what were you thinking happened as you wrote it.
In short this is my favorite right now. <3 <3

May I archive please. pleaassee?

Is it sad that I still have a block than? lol

And truly thank you so much for all the compliments, they really make my day! Also glad that the shortness of the stories don't take away from them, because I often think it does.

Honestly have to say, I really love all the interpretations you've managed to find from it.

Really I was going off of the fact that in the comics, Doomsday is basically impossible to kill.
So Davis really never dies in my opinion and this is just one more of his rebirths.

Wish I had a much poetic revealing, but that's really the base of it. And you're more than welcome to archive!
