Ooh, very nice little twist at the end! With an aged Damian, I figure Bruce must have been gone a good many years. Sad and lovely, all at the same time!

Actually, I thought that Bruce was the aged one in bed with Clark and his visitor Alfred, but this was even sadder all the way around. Good writing!

Yep, that was exactly the misdirect I intended to lead you down ;p But obviously Damian had to have mellowed towards Clark over the years in order to make it work lol

Anyway, thanks for the inspiring prompts and sorry it wasn't more festive!

Great Story

I'm crying, this was so good.

I had a feeling that Bruce was dead by how the sex scene was written but I had no idea it was that long into the future until I realized it wasn't Alfred who was talking to him.

I was like, "Wait, is Bruce dead and this is like his ghost?" Then the Damian stuck his head in, "Okay, so yes Bruce is dead and there is Alfred but why isn't he calling Clark Master Clark? Is it Dick as an old man?" Then once Clark said Damian I was gone, left to fly into a pit of feelings.

Oh Clark, my poor baby. Once reason why I wouldn't want to be Superman is that if someone didn't kill me in battle, I would end up outliving everyone I love and I just wouldn't be able to stand that.

Great story. :)

I think Clark's greatest fear is to outlive everyone he loves for years and years.

Yeah, his true vulnerability lies in his emotions/attachments. But I guess it's also one of his strengths :)
