Yikes! Doubleplusgood! I'm kinda kicking myself in the ass (I'd ask Shiva, but I'm not worthy of her art) for failing to recognize your hand in this one - it was one of my favorite comica_obscura fics.

"Wow, Superman!" says the Batman.

I might never recover from the psychological scarring, though.

[brown_betty]

Scarring from the Bruce Wayne: Boy Bimbo? Or a villain named Guano Cravat?

Glad you liked it.

The woman is moving into Shiva's space, so close that she could kill her with the folded linen napkin without standing up.

Heeeee.

"I have heard that your little bird was killed in your own city. I had a certain fondness for that bird. If you allow it, I will make a present to you of the death of the one who killed him."

Aaaaaaaawww! Timmy-love!

Being a Shiva fanboy, I can only throw rose petals at you in adoration. This is awesome.

[brown_betty]

Let's be honest. I have no idea how to kill someone with a napkin. But I bet Shiva does!

I'm glad that this was satisfying to a lover of the character.

(It worries me that my sociopaths come out with a tinge of woobie. That's just not right.)

Ah! I loved this!

It was amazing. And Bruce Wayne conversing with Superman. There will be no end to the amusement that brought me.

[brown_betty]

Bruce Wayne conversing with Superman was shameless self-indulgence. I have an incredible weakness for Bruce acting like a rather dim narcissist. Glad that it hit the spot for you, too.

I wrote a Superman/Batman fic this week where I had Supes POV of media Bruce vs. Batman he was sleeping with. 9___9

But my drabble is crap compared to this. Alas, the image! He was brilliant! He was so down to character. You are astounding! ^____^

[blushes]

Also, where is this drabble? Enquiring minds want to know!

[ladyvyola]

I'm trying to understand how a story so light and frothy can still have such a sharp edge -- so sharp that you don't even know you've been cut till you feel the hot blood dripping down.

This goes in with "Heart, Humble" as my personal canon. Brava!

[brown_betty]

I'm so incredibly flattered that you think so. I've been a little disatisfied with this story, because it's a schmoopy story about an assasin ferchissakes.

[rubynye]

This is schmoop, from you? Holy cannoli.

*bows down at your feet in awe*

[brown_betty]

Thanks! I'm not sure it's schmoop. In fact, I'm not sure what it is. [squints. pokes.] But thanks.
