~There's A Place That I Know :: It's Not Pretty There and Few Have Ever Gone...~

Oh, I miss you guys and I'm SO glad to be writing you again. Never leave me again. *snugs her Lois and Kal-El*

I can forgive it because it's just made of awesome. I had to share. And dropping the two of them would ruin the flow. Enjoy the one time they're on my LJ. *wrinkles nose and pokes them*

But seriously? Moulin Rouge dialogue and Clois? WIN! It's like a fandom sundae. :D

I find solace in challenges. Specifically the current ones attached to the clois_fest  being run by repmetsyrrah  and the smaller challenges from around fandom attached to it. Quite a few good little bunnies popping their heads up and a couple of long-standing ones just begging to be finished. And with the summer version of the Porn Battle coming up, who knows how many fics you'll see from us in the next month?

As for those waiting for replies to the last two posts, I'm trying to get over the frothing rage I feel before replying, otherwise my comments will likely be incoherent and all caps and M<IHUYGFGHSWPOUJW*&NUD! NNHTFTGHMMBRESAZ******!!!!!!!

Yep, it's still like that. I'm quite afraid that, from here on in, it might ALWAYS be like that.

God help us all.

I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

When laying with you I could stay there
Close my eyes, feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better

'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you's play, you would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time

Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you

I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touch your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn

Yep the author is me is seething and it shows. Hopefully it will only serve to make the Clois more solid in my work.

Bastards.

I don’t get it. I’ve lost all focus. All clarity. I’m in the middle of something important, and I’ve lost all ability to concentrate. Thinking about Ryder. My demotion. My life. Thinking about Lana. Everything she said. And because I’ve lost focus, I almost don’t hear her. 

The one who means more to me than any of it. The one who means more to me than all the men dying in this war — a war that stopped just by my arriving here — and I neither notice nor care.

She doesn’t die. But waiting for that moment… I nearly do. I can’t think of anything except how relieved I am. How happy I feel knowing she’s still with me. How little it matter that what made her fall in love with me. I — Love her, and always have. 

Have I brought these things on her? […] Am I helping people?. Protecting them from the evil in the world?. Are bad people the problem?. Or am I?.

How much of this violence exist solely because I exist? 

I used to save people from danger. Now I put them in it, simply by being who I am. Like the gunslinger who once helped — then became a magnet for trouble. A part of the problem. 

And I’ve been so light and flip about it. Enjoying myself. My Strength. My powers. Am I wrong?. Am I making a mistake? I don’t know.

As I watch her sleep — studying her lungs as they breathe, watching her blood flow, listening to her heart pump loud and strong — I hope I’m not. Because I love who I am, what I can do.

I love being Superman.

I love being Superman for her.

- Clark Kent - Action Comics 821.

Expect to see it by tomorrow night. We have just about two paragraphs left. :D

Not to mention a few smaller fics. Bite-sized, you might say.

And I'd love to see a few more Reeveverse prompts filled, especially since the PB ends next Thursday. *blink, blink, cute*

And I made a music file that mirrors a video I did once. It's basically a dialogue-infused version of The Love Theme. I also added the snippet of Chris Daughtry's What About Now back in since it's used for my LS universe. So, yeah. I was going to put up a copy for download if anyone wants it. It's not the best ever, but I like it.

The Love Theme From Superman The Movie (KLK mix)

Is the day I'll finally give up this fandom.

*loves her OTP SFM*

THIS says all that needs to be said of their EPICness. *sniffles*

htbthomas , you are absolutely right and I will relish every moment of the damn thing. Everything I've seen so far is make of win. They even have the CHEMISTRY down in the book. This may be the first time in a decade that I've consistently liked anything comics related for Superman (stopped reading in the late 90s for good reason).

And God knows the art doesn't hurt. There's something very familiar about the OTP over there. ;)

Okay, all together now. One, two, three...

AWWWWWWWW!!!!



Wonder who these adorable babies are? ;)
