Visiting Hours (Part One)
Clark Kent paused in his flight over the Eastern seaboard. After witnessing the conversation between Lois and Richard earlier that evening, he had been working non-stop in a (somewhat futile) attempt to take his mind off of what he had heard. He had stopped a bank robbery, a convenience store hold up, and a typhoon. He had saved a window washer

YES!! YES, exactly that, yes. Thank you. That's all I hav ever wanted to say in my rewrite of Superman returns, but I never found such on-spot words and reasoning. Perfect. I love your Bruce, taking care of everything while Clark was away, being sleepless, being in Metropolis out of habit. Just... I adore this. I really hope to see more from you and, of course, the second part of this. I still have to write my hospital scene 2 chapters from my current one, and I need inspiration!
Your narrative is really engaging. The description of Alfred's expresion is great, I could really feel his angish... and Clark, being attracted to Gotham like a magnet. Everything was perfect. Go you!! thanks for writing and sharing!

But, but, but ... you did say that! I have to confess ... *looks guilty* ... I read your fic about a week before writing this (and I still have to comment on it *looks even more guilty*), and I was heavily influenced by what you did with Bruce (actually, I should probably be crediting you for inspiration *runs off and does that*).
Okay, now that I've fixed that! ... yeah, it wasn't until I read your fic that I realized (amongst other things) that after five years of not having someone around, you really would move on, no matter how much you loved them. And when I was writing this, I almost didn't want to put Bruce in this particular mindset, since it was what you did in your fic, but my brain had already converted it into fanon and refused to believe that anything else was possible.
So yeah, you totally said that in your rewrite of SR ... I just gave the cliff-notes version. ^_^ I'm happy you liked it at least, though, since you inspired it. And maybe if I inspire you with my hospital scene then it can be like a return payment? *grins sheepishly*

Lol, Bruce moving on after Clark leaves for five years should be fanon. I love Jen's Bruce too because he felt compelled by Superman's leave to be his own hero. My Bruce is just trying harder, which might or might not be healthy, but your Bruce? He's very, very in character, the grouchy golden hearted grouch I love with all my heart, and much more to the point. You really wrapped it up, and yes, I am waiting greedily for your hospital scene, though your rendition of the SR has already inspired me. I really liked your narrative and your characterizations. I want them! they are so shiny! That's the great thing about sharing the boys, we can all play with them :)

Jen's Bruce is awesome. He's so ... sunny! And cuddly! And yet, he's still Batman! It's amazing. I don't think I'll ever have the guts to write him that happy, but I love reading him that way. :)
Your Bruce is fantastic, too, though ... he's so zen! He's like, the Buddha meets Batman meets the world's greatest archetypal friend ever. He's very mature, and well-adjusted ... in other words, he amazes me, too!

So so true. They are the world's finest (and sexiest) toys. ^_^
