update for all who might be interested:

started posting this as a series of short fic.

we keep our love in a photograph (temporary name)

Martha Jones is 25 years old when she marries Jonathan Kent on a casual Tuesday evening. They have it on the common field, also used for Memorials, the yearly give-and-take market, and other important gatherings. 

It's only five months after Jonathan's dad passed away, and if she closes her eyes, she can see John crying his eyes out that night and proposing to her.

("I'm sorry, I promise I had something good," he said. "But just... life is unpredictable, you know? I couldn't take the risk I won't get the chance". 

His eyes were red, and his suit was wrinkled and stained with mud, but it didn't matter. 

"Ask me again in a week," she said. "After the first shock would be over. And I'll say yes." 

It's a promise and an opportunity - grief can push people into reckless reactions, and she won't judge him if that's the case.)

She's being ridden down the aisle on her dad's old tractor, feeling nuisance and excited and scared and hopeful. She wears a fancy wedding dress, but her legs lay in warm, solid boots.

(She's a practical woman, and it is December. There's no reason to get a useless pair of shoes just to get them destroyed. And besides, she always preferred reliable boots.)

Ranch legal name was Ronald McWilliams, but at this point even his mama doesn't call him that. Not since that miserable time during 3rd grade, when the unfortunate nickname of "McDonald's" was founded, then moved to "Burger king" in a poor attempt of resistance, before ending up as "Ranch" somewhere around 7th grade.

He's the best man, and as they raise a toast he makes a joke about how he always knew Johnny-Boy would end up as a farmer. Everyone laughs.

Martha is twenty seven, and when John puts his hands on her stomach just like THIS and sings softly, the baby kicks.

They repaint the nursery, and John's mom finds his old crib in the attic. She thinks she couldn't be happier. 

Martha Kent is thirty-one weeks pregnant, and life is good.

So, I'm not sure how to call this fic. I have some ideas, but for now this and future updates would be tagged as "miracle child au"

Feel free to add more, to rb, @ me, add your thoughts, ask questions, etc. I have 4/5 pieces written, at this moment (and probably more) before we even start getting Clark.

I'm looking for soundboards/alpha readers/ppl to brainstorm with.

@thisiswhereikeepdcthings @violent138 this is part of the au we talked about 😅

people are curious with how bruce is doing with clark’s family

part 1: here

I believe that Pre-Crisis he WAS their legally adopted child?

IIRC, it goes: they find him, drop him off at a local orphanage, then come back and adopt him.

Even if Clark DID buy that (which he wants to, but logically can't) All four of these people are Kryptonians who have maybe a collective week of superpower experience and are already trained via muscle memory to go for the kill. Even if they're telling the TRUTH Clark has every reason to worry they're gonna kill somebody. Action Comics 549

do you think ma and pa kent had to pretend to be antivaxxers so that they wouldn't have to explain why their son of steel keeps breaking the syringes. do you think they still flee in shame every time they run into smallville's only pediatrician at church or the farmers market so they dont have to explain why their boy still hasnt had a tetanus shot even though he regularly works around farm equipment. do you think the town vet wonders why the kents give their various farm animals shots when necessary but not their only son. do you think it keeps them up at night.

martha's always a hit.

Clark Kent’s birthday canonically being February 29th is hysterical to me. Not because it’s meant to jokingly explain away how Superman is a timeless character, but because it implies Martha and Jonathan Kent found an alien baby in a cornfield, and when pressed to choose a birthday for their new baby, they gave him the most difficult birthday possible.

clark kent grew like a weed as a teen. that's his blankie btw

Do you think Clark Kent had to be formula fed.

And do you think, for a moment, Martha Kent realized she was in over her head.

An alien baby, a canister of formula from the closest shop that she’s not even sure he can eat.

She’s just holding him in front of her with the bottle in one hand and his neck propped up in the other. He’s screaming his head off and she knows he’s hungry but she can’t bring herself to give it to him. She doesn’t know what he is, what will kill him. She may have met this baby maybe a couple hours ago but she’s already decided to protect him with her life.

Jonathan’s out in the shed trying to find any of the old baby clothes and pacifiers they were gifted while they were trying at least half a decade ago; Martha’s pretty sure she threw them all away the second the doctor broke the news.

She realizes that if they do actually do this it’s not going to be easy, and it’s actually going to be quite terrifying. They will always be waiting for that phone call, that knock on the door. From this point forward strangers and outsiders who come sniffin’ for one reason or another will terrify them.

She wonders if they’ll tell him how they actually came to be his parents, or let him live in blissful ignorance.

She counts down to three in her head. And gives him the bottle.

He drinks it happily; perfectly fine.

She can’t remember when she started holding her breath.

A loose curl of his blacker than black hair falls onto his forehead and covers his bluer than blue eyes. She brushes it away and he grabs her fingers with a grip stronger than she thought it’d be. It makes her bark out a laugh.

Something with those pudgy cheeks and that gummy smile can’t be all that terrifying.

Batfleck, .5 seconds after beating the everloving shit out of an entire warehouse of henchmen, putting heads through walls, setting someone on fire, and genuinely just being an all-around terrifying rescuer: “it’s okay. I’m a friend of your son.”

Martha Kent:

Tim’s first time visiting Kent Farm

Ma: Well do you know what this plant is?

Tim: Uh no.

Ma: They’re soybeans. Kon, tell him about soybeans.

Kon: Soybeans…are your friends.

Ma: *gives him a look*

Kon: Well I don’t know anything about soybeans either!
