Thank you! I had some fun with the imagery on this one... :)

Oh, this is so utterly weighty and well-written and I think it sums up the whole situation beautifully.

Thank you! It's been a while since I've written about the fact that Bruce has the Kryptonite--I hope they don't wait years for him to have it in current canon...

Awww!! So much love for this. Bruce's awe t Clark's trust in him is so perfect.

*applauds*

Yay, I'm glad it worked for you! I really love that theme in their relationship, it's so intense...

Aww, I love this. Clark has to trust Bruce here- but it's reciprocal because Bruce has to be worthy of that trust and live up to it. And being Bruce, he takes that very seriously.

It's true, for Bruce this is a very serious thing indeed! Even in canon it clearly is a weighty issue, and I can totally see him meditating on it now and then...

Beautiful piece, Mithen! So many turns of phrases and descriptions that I won't quote them all here, just know that this is indeed a poetic work of art. :)

What a terrifying responsibility, to hold your Beloved's death in your hands and know that he trusts you to deliver it when and if the time comes.

I'm glad you were inspired even without my dark_fest prompt. ;)

I had a lot of fun with the present-tense and poetic this time around! I think maybe I'm needing a break from traditional narrative for a little bit, as I'm finding myself doing it again in another story, lol.

Your prompt was the thing that got me thinking about the ring again and moving the story up from the back burner, so it's not unrelated at all! Thank you for it and for your nice feedback!

Awesome! Glad I coud inspire! :)

And it's time for you to wax poetic. One must never fight the Muses (at least not TOO much) and go with the flow! :)
