Haven't read anyone's comments regarding this entire series but I'm assuming, like their's, I just have to say this was an absolutely wonderfully, well crafted work! I really loved everything about it :)

As ever, very well done :)

I'm so glad you enjoyed! This story came to mean a lot to me, so I'm happy to hear it affected you!

Awww, yay! I hate to see this one come to an end, but what a perfect wrap up to it all. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

Thanks so much for reading and for commenting, it means a lot to me! I'm a little sorry to see this one end too, I admit it...

Squeeeeeeeeee!
"pounces" So I have totally not been checking your lj repeatedly waiting for this. "shakes head emphatically"
"g" Definitely lived up to expectations (which are rather high when it comes to your fic). A delightful way to end it, and I can't wait to see how Bruce and Clark interact now that they know. "winks"

Aww, thanks! I'm flattered you were looking forward to it, and I'm tickled you enjoyed! It means a lot to me that you let me know. And yeah, I'll definitely have to contemplate what their life is like after this, won't I?

Okay, it took me far too long to realize that Bruce's "craaazy girl" was actually Harley! It was the "left me hanging" that did it. Oh, Bruce.

She was doing things to me that I'm pretty sure aren't legal in most states.

..I'm pretty sure aren't legal in most all states.

"Yep. Yep. I think it's safe to say I fell pretty hard last night."

Ha, that's great because it's true on two three uncountable levels.

I love it when metaphors take on a life of their own. That's the really good stuff, when that happens.

Double-speak and non-sexual innuendo (that looks like sexual innuendo) is one of my favorite things about this genre, I think. :)

It's rare that a title ends up shaping the direction of the fic for me, but the metaphor definitely kept sneaking in in interesting ways. :)

I'm sad that this has come to an end, but it was a great ending. It tied up all the loose end together nicely and incorporated the main characters responses to the previous chapter's events.

I loved playful Bruce, from his phone conversation with Lucius, to tricking Clark into kissing him was very cute.

I also loved how Bruce was able to share with Clark the new manor and setting aside a space just from him.

All those things you mention were so satisfying--just getting to tie things up and show Bruce as re-energized thanks to Gotham and Clark made me really happy to write! I'm glad you enjoyed the results...
