Superman Returns: Five Reasons Why Richard Likes Working in the Office trascendenza May 7 2007, 06:41:51 UTC
(Schmoop ahoy! *g*)

5.

Initially, because it meant he could pursue Lois with much less effort, which was good, since one misstep, and he knew he wouldn’t get a second chance.

4.

He can drink coffee all day and there will still be someone who’s had more than him. (Which isn’t quite proof that he’s not a caffeine addict, but close enough for him.)

3.

The very notable lack of bullets whizzing through his office. And the glass is a perk; the bullpen during the pre-printing rush is a sight to behold.

2.

Nobody minds having Jason there; in fact, they’ve become something of a second family for him. Jimmy “happens” to pick up a new toy often enough to spoil him rotten; on Tuesdays, Mindy brings in her nephew and the two of them terrorize the tiles in her cubicle with their paper airplane wars; Polly makes cookies that, through her sheer culinary genius, slip under the radar of all of Jason’s allergies and taste good. Even Perry usually has a smile and a gruff word or two of affection for him ( ... )

OT3! Oh come on, I had to comment on this first -- the happy family is a high priority. I would love more stories of the Big, Happy Family. Preferably, wherein the Big Happy Family gets a surprise visit from DC characters like the Dark Gothamite when he goes on a 'break' with his spite-beloved Gotham. Nightwing can come, too. He can stay outside and argue with Johnny Storm about territory when the human torch comes through on celebrity tour. Maybe his family can come too? Then again, all these super-families existing within throwing distance of each other mayn't be a good thing.

I digress.

Love the Richard. Love the caffeine. Love the office and adore the fam.

I'd be hard pressed to find a drabble of yours I *didn't* like, even in those fandoms which are alien to me. In fact, you've gotten me interested in Brimstone and Primeval, but I have to get a hold of them somehow.

I likes the OT3 XD Actually, that last one was written with an OT3 specifically in mind; an OT3 prelude, if you will.

Wow, how did you just totally pinpoint my biggest button right there? Big Happy Families are my WEAKNESS. I could probably read and write about them until the end of time and not get bored.

And big happy family crossovers? THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF. And it's not as if Bruce/Clark/Richard/Lois couldn't work something out. And Johnny could come over for extra fun on the weekends. I'll throw Rogue in there, too, because she and Clark could have some really incredible invincible sex.

Yeah, now I'm the one digressing. XD

Well, if you can download things, just about every fandom I write for is uploaded here for anyone on my flist to snag if the urge ever grabs them :) Brimstone and Primeval, in particular, aren't available on DVD. Brimstone because it was cancelled at 13 episodes and didn't get as much attention as Firefly, and Primeval because it's British. I like it, but not enough to order another set of ( ... )

I am now in pain withholding my laughter because I'm in the middle of a library and you're cracking me up so badly.

I love family. This has been one of the largest draws in Richard/Clark for me because when they and Jason are together, people write them so happily.

I want a big, happy family DC crossover story. Maybe I should do my part for the human race and write drabble it myself. Quality assurance not guaranteed.

Grr, I still haven't gotten around to replying to those lists you wrote me! So many comments, but I'm going over now!

Hahaha, sorry about that! If I'd known you were in a library I would have kept my rampant "I will pair anyone I think is hot with anyone else" tendencies down just a bit. ;)

I know what you mean about the "two daddies are better than one" family scenario. It's a nice break from all the angst that comes from negotiating the love triangle, too.

YES! I am now going to rabidly stalk you heartily encourage you to write this XD

Eeep, sorry. *will quiet down-this is a library, after all* Can you tell I'm trying to avoid being productive by rambling in your general direction? *g*

Rant on, power to ya! :D I'm just burning the hours waiting for my ride to come as classes are over for the day. Wow, I really have just been spamming people with comments for the last two and a half hours. o0;

I've read some lovely stories where it's assumed Richard, Lois and Kal-El have negotiated the relationship and are now Happy Together with Jason. That kid is so spoiled. Glee.

[lol] Be sure to remind me about how I doomed myself because with my workload I'm likely to forget.

Are you in a library, too? Hey, I've devoted enough productive hours to your addictive drabbles, it's only fair to reciprocate the favour. :PPP

Yeah, comment!spams sure can take a lot longer than one might originally assume. O_O One of the reasons I probably never get any homework done, bwehehe.

Really? I've come across a handful, but not too many. *makes big wibbly eyes hoping that links will eventually be passed on to her*

Will do! As fyredancer can tell you, I have the memory of an elephant when it comes to reminding people about fic. XD I'm still bugging her for a strip poker story months later because... dammit... STRIP POKER HOTNESS!

No library for me; I just have a HUGEOMGBRAINEATING organization project laid out before me and fangirling is a lot more fun... ;)

Well, if I find an OT3 story that you *haven't* commented on, I'll be sure to pass it on to you. :P Really, I was looking back through saved files and there you were! Next file, there again! You were keeping tabs, all right, in fact, you've probably read more OT3 than I have.

Strip Poker? Who's playing? I want aa-aa-all the names.

[lol] Well, good luck with your brain-eating project. The internet will never lack for fangirls so we'll all be here when you get back!

LOL. Yeah, I have been known to mercilessly hunt down stories when I'm on the prowl. *g*

Richard and Clark! Don't they just NEED to play it, and like... RIGHT NOW?

Thank'ems. I needs the luck. I'll probably be at this project for another month or so, yet. O_O

You're thorough, I'll give you that.

Hmm, how long could Clark keep on the glasses, I wonder? If Richard's suspicious already he *might* go for those first (unless he's being really considerate). How on earth would one get Clark to agree to that in the first place?

G'luck with the project again!

Hehe, I guessed. :D

You know, I hadn't even thought about the convincing Clark to play part... I guess I just assume Richard can get whatever he wants by biting his lip and looking alluring, hahaha. And I bet Richard would totally go for the glasses when Clark is expecting him to go for the boxers, and it would be SUCH delicious irony because he's even more naked without the glasses!

Oh, the irony! I love it -- who's writing this again? You are, of course, assuming that Bruce didn't lure Clark into his lair and learn him in the ways of poker. I will one day stop bringing Bruce into every facet of Clark's life. -_-"

fyredancer is, at least last time I checked. I think she wrote some and then her computer ate it? So she has to retype, poor dear.

LOL. But Bruce *likes* being brought into every facet of his life. It appeals to his controlling side ;)

You might have to send fyredancer a memo outlining any new plot developments (you could end up devising the entire thing behind her back by accident!).

I concur. So, let's not write Clark off so easily -- he could give Richard a run for his err, clothes? I was going to write something once upon a time where Bruce drops into Daily Planet before having made the official acquaintance of anyone, but going to visit Clark wouldn't fare so well for Clark's attempt to stay under the radar. I have an inventory of excuses at the ready, but Lois is insatiably curious. In the end, I couldn't justify the exercise. XD

LOL. If she gets stuck, we'll be ready with plot lubricant! *g*

Ooooooooh. I like that idea. There's something so deliciously appealing about everyone being oblivious about everyone else, don't you think? If there's one thing a Wayne's not good for, it's staying clandestine.

Okay, so I've got two fics to bug you about:
Big happy family DC crossover
Bruce dropping in on Clark at work
...and I'm going to tack Jimmy/Clark onto here because I can! :D
