WAYR addition 👀

So in addition to a sequel of sorts, I'm also writing Kal's POV of finding out Bruce is Batman, giving a little more context to why he offered to sleep with Bruce later that night despite being a wreck. In short, since he's already traumatized and doubting Bruce, he convinces himself that Bruce will punish him for the escape attempt in some horrible way. Unless maybe he can convince him otherwise...

WIP snippet:

He could still act. He wasn’t helpless, not entirely. If there was a chance that he could keep himself alive and safe, he needed to take it.

Bruce had been hard, when he pinned him to the training mat. Rao, Bruce had locked a collar around his neck and kept him naked in a cell for a week. Luthor had been sure that Bruce was fucking him already, and Luthor knew Bruce much better than Kal ever had.

‘I’ve seen a lot of people offer Bruce a ride to try and save themselves, but you’re the only one who ever actually pulled it off.’

Shame curled in Kal’s stomach, hot and queasy. Apparently, Lex Luthor had been speaking prophecy out in the gardens yesterday.

rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs

Oh God, you have uncovered my dark secret: I give absolutely everything a stupid placeholder name and avoid thinking about a real title until the last possible minute. I often don't even change the file name. My WIPS, and their actual title if there is one:

The Batman Who Lulz (Dying is Easy, Comedy is Hard)

WAYR addition/expansion (Sequel/expansion to Who Are You, Really?)

Earth 32 (Always Rooting for the Anti-Hero)

Clexy

Superbat Omegaverse (a different fic from my other Superbat omegaverse fic)

Brex fic

Kirkwall Trash Party

Batjokes 2 Napier Edition

(covers face with hands) I am always too shy to tag people in these things, but anyone who sees this is free to do it as well!

Me, who cannot read music, learning this:

Finally, some good fucking Clex content again. Superman: Lex Luthor Special opens with a reminder that normally, Lex is the smuggest man alive:

But some time ago, Lex allowed his memories to be completely erased in order to stop Brainiac. Since then, he's been doing fuck-all besides growing a beard and taking pleasant walks around Metropolis. It's probably the closest thing to a vacation he's had in decades, but unfortunately it's because he is in permanent No Thoughts, Head Empty mode. (Or is he?)

During one such walk in the park, someone recognizes him (should have put on some glasses too, Lex. Amateur!) and throws coffee in his face. Superman, probably not for the first time, keeps a righteously angry mob from turning Lex into paste.

Possibility 1: Clark has been avoiding Lex because he feels tremendously guilty about not being able to prevent Lex's brain from being scrambled, and also because seeing the Guy Formerly Known As Lex weirds him out.

Possibility 2: Clark has been avoiding Lex because there's a really good chance Lex will just spontaneously redevelop the ol' murder-crush on him if they make eye contact for too long, and he feels guilty about that.

Regardless, for plot science reasons, they need the old Lex back. Amnesia Lex is...not enthused. (That brown splotch across his face is supposed to be the coffee that was thrown at him several panels ago. Liquids, how do they work?)

HNNNG Clark immediately noticing a difference in how Lex talked about himself, and Lex countering by dropping the big, nuclear question: 'Do you actually want Lex Luthor back? Is the world better with me him in it?'

Clark flees the scene immediately rather than answer 💔

Throughout the special, Lex has been flashing back to his horrible, abusive childhood in Smallville, guest starring not!John Glover:

I was very pleased to see them continuing the emotional beat of young Lex feeling desperately lonely and isolated from everyone else because of his mind. Birthright and The Last Days of Lex Luthor both used that to great effect to compare him with Clark, and it's a backstory I personally like.

Anyway, Lionel Luthor is terrible:

But Lex isn't ever as alone as he thinks:

In the present, a brooding Lex stares at the piano he was 'unable' to play earlier that morning:

And Superman gets a call from Mr. Terrific, who just received the Important Science Equation Thing he was hoping for from Supercorp. But Superman didn't send it...

Sorry, what can Bruce Wayne do with his tongue?

So glad you asked me that question nonny!! Because I have a panel on hand for you

This is obviously the Batman Who Laughs, but he's very strongly implying that picking locks with his tongue is a skill every Batman has.

Fun fact this is technically something that's fully possible, it would just take an unholy amount of tongue strengthening and stretching exercises.

one tragic thing about clex is how hard it is to contrive a "there was only one bed" scenario between lex being stupidly rich and clark having superpowers.

I do love a good dance with yourself. evil clone? alternate reality version? past version? future version? metaphorical representation of the true self? they should all do a homoerotic little waltz

not talking about being under a red sun or anything else that could nerf his powers. i want to know if anyone thinks he has the control to not snap her dick off
