oh, my. it's bleak, yes, and sad. i like it, but i want to FIX them.

Thank you. I'd like to fix them too, but this is one of my Confines of Canon fic which means Not Going To Happen. But I do have a few other fics on my plate that are a bit happier.

Wow. You have such an amazing gift when it comes to imagery, and bringing a scene to vivid, breathing life. The way you wrote this, it felt like being in the dream with them.

You are one of 2 writers that has made me fall completely in love with the Cluce. May you write it for a long time to come :)

Thank you. I love dream sequences but dream-logic is so difficult to write. I'm glad this worked for you.

And I blush from your compliment!

Oh, this is so heartbreaking. You write the angst so well! The descriptions, the feelings ... everything was done so perfectly. And the dream felt so real. That phone call was a killer too.

Great work!

Thank you. This one did get a bit angsty. Bruce's dreamscape can be an odd place. And I suppose he might give into a phone call if he was a bit sleep-addled.

That was probably the best--and scariest--dream sequence I've ever read. Ouch.

romanyg July 9 2008, 16:36:11 UTC

Thank you. Bruce has some pretty vivid and odd dreams.

This has a killer dream sequence! Part of me wants to go all Jungian on it, and the other's too tired to process anything right now :P

I'm also rather freaked Bruce actually drew the schematics for shackles. It sounds utterly fantastic, but something he might do in between hunting down criminals and attending JLA meetings. And treasuring that souvenir is just so... sad.

Thank you. Funny, but I didn't do my research and check out a dream dictionary until just now. I'm relieved that the majority of the symbolism actually fits! Phew! *g*

I had meant the shackles to be more metaphoric, but I could possibly see Bruce literally doing that as well. And of course, Bruce would treasure the souvenir. For a cynic, he's quite a packrat, assigns sentimental value to things.
