Artsy people!!!! Your attention is needed!

The Contest for Men of the DCU poster needs your attention! And, well, I admit, even if you don't enter, I want to see pretty art of pretty men, people!!!

I'm going to quote directly from Mina now, for she explains better than I could...

I don't have any artsy talent but I know some of you have loads of it and wouldn't we all love to see the boys in tuxes, I ask you? With *well* designed tuxes and not the ill-fitting crap the comics artists seem to think billionaires and time travelers and business men and all around gorgeous guys would wear?

I offer my humble writing services to you! I'll write you glam party scenes! I NEED A POSTER OF THE DCU GUYS LOOKING HOT, YOU GUYS.

So, yeah. Give me a bunch of characters and the occasion they are celebrating and I'll write you glam party ficlets! If you can't draw but want to party, it's cool! Prompt me, maybe we can inspire the arty folk to draw us hot guys in tuxes!

Hi, I think I'm gonna take a crack at this. I'm artsy (ish) I've never put anything on the web but this sounds like fun. My only problem is who to include? My DC knolage is vague at best and there are rather alot of guys. So who?

My only problem is who to include? My DC knolage is vague at best and there are rather alot of guys. So who?

It's sooo hard to pick, isn't it? I was trying to come up with a list, but if you keep it to 11 guys (since there are only 11 women in the original poster) then you end up leaving out almost *everyone* LOL.

Anyway, sorry to butt in ... I hope you try it! Yay for pretty art of pretty men! Yay!

Ooooh, um... Well, Batman and Superman. Nightwing and Robin. Erm... Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner and Alan Scott. Flash Wally West and Jay Garrick... *thinks* Green Arrow Ollie Queen. Maybe Red Arrow?

Argh, I can't think properly! Those are the ones off the top of my head, there is quite possibly more people that I am forgetting, but as taro_twist says, there's just so many to pick from... But I really do hope you give it a try! :)

I don't think I'm going to have time to do a full poster. I'm on holiday in 2 days and only got Dick and Bruce done tonight. Not to mention this is the first time i've drawn people in a few years so don't expect anyting special :P I'll post what I've done when I have access to a scaner.

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm very happy to hear that you got Bruce and Dick done! ;) I'm looking forward to seeing them! :)

I hope you have a nice holiday! :)

Woot! Lol, sorry about the peer pressure, Star! but.. how could I now, when the promise of tux-fic is presented? *grins*

Uhm, Bats and Supes looking smokin' on Diana's birthday? Or anyone's birthday!

*grins back* Well, you know I'm very easy to convince, Mina. :p

Uhm, Bats and Supes looking smokin' on Diana's birthday? Or anyone's birthday!

Oooh, I can do that! *plots*

Diana smiled as she accepted birthday wishes from Barbara. All the women attending the party held in honour of her birthday were dressed in white, and all the men in black. She herself was dressed in a flowing Grecian style gown, hair piled atop her head; diamonds glittering at her throat and wrists and hands. She took a moment to appreciate the sight of everyone dressed in beautiful, well fitting clothes.

Diana had turned back into a conversation when there was a flutter behind her, a gasp arising from the crowd. She turned, her first thought that some enemy had infiltrated the party. Then she smiled widely as she what had started everyone.

Bruce and Clark had made their entrance.

Bruce was dressed in a black suit, with a pale blue shirt and silver subtly patterned tie, cuff-links, watch and black shoes gleaming. Beside him, Clark was wearing a well fitting suit for once, and had bucked the black suit rule, was instead wearing a very dark blue suit that somehow shimmered, a black shirt, and a darker red tie, glasses absent for once.

There were murmurs of appreciation; Clark hardly ever wore black. Bruce must have helped him pick his outfit, Diana thought with a twitch of her lips. Clark grinned when he saw her. Beside him Bruce was surveying everyone with a ice blue flicker of his eyes.

She moved towards them, seeing Bruce removing white gloves from his hands, and a beautifully wrapped parcel in Clark's hands. Diana stopped next to them, appreciating their beauty, as they both greeted her with birthday wishes. But of course, Bruce and Clark's true beauty shone as their exchanged a look, the love and desire in their eyes obvious to all.

Diana smiled again, happy.

Eeeee! Clark in a black shirt, yum!!! I love to think the girls all wore what they are wearing in the Women of the DCU poster, such wonderful dresses! And Bruce has white gloves, guh, hawt.... guuuhhhh, gloves. Man, that boy sure knows how to go the last mile with accessories...

Thanks for this, Star! sorry I'm late replying! my wrist has been hurting for over a week now and I'm having trouble typing :S but I went to the doc and got a treatment for it, so I hope it will continues to improve! I will catch you with all you wonderful fic soon! promise!

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm really glad you liked it, Mina! :D *glomps*

LOL, I couldn't resist the girls all wearing their Women of the DCU outfits. :p Bruce with gloves just makes me melt. Guuuhhhhhhh... *drools*

Oh noes! I'm so sorry your wrist has been hurting! *hugs* Strangely, mine has been a bit, too! I really hope your wrist is feeling better now, as I know only too well, wrist injuries are not fun. :( *more hugs*

[taro-twist.livejournal.com]

And yay for glam party prompts, too! Umm ... a Bruce/Clark, Pieter/Michael double date at a fancy gala of some sort?

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

LOL, okay! *plots*

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how much this fits what you asked for... lol.

----------

Clark was looking around the grand room the fundraiser for local clinics was being held in, wondering where Bruce had disappeared. It was disconcerting how the man could vanish on him without him ever noticing.

He dodged a waiter, trying not to bump into him. The last time he had been at a party he had, and... well. The results hadn't been pretty. Which was why he was now wearing a hand-picked by Bruce suit. He was feeling very self-conscious in it. It fitted far better than the suits he normally wore. But, he could never deny Bruce, and the slight pout he had shown had been Clark's undoing.

He manoeuvred his way over to the wall at the spot he had last seen Bruce, eyeing the very tall and many green leaved plant next to him. He scanned the room, still not seeing Bruce, but spying two other familiar faces, standing next to the wall opposite him.

Clark took a deep breath and headed towards them.

*****

Bruce peaked in at the party from where he had retreated to a balcony. He saw Clark looking for him, and felt a moments guilt that he had abandoned him. But if he spent another moment in that room, full to the brink with people, he would go insane. He needed a moment or two to just catch his breath, to be on his own. But he smiled as he saw Clark making his way through the crowds, towards Michael and Pieter.

His lover looked gorgeous in his new suit. The plans he had hatched of ruining Clark's previous suits had gone perfectly. From what he could see Michael and Pieter were dressed very nicely, too. He smiled as he saw Clark talking to them, fiddling with his glasses slightly.

Bruce turned away, looking out at the buildings, at Gotham, at her lights, and there, standing tall above them all, was Wayne Tower.

A bird flew by the balcony and he started at its sudden appearance. His eyes widened and he looked about - not in a panic, of course not in a panic - for that... that owl Pieter took everywhere. The creature had a vendetta against him.

He was still eyeing his surroundings suspiciously when Clark and Michael and Pieter joined him on the balcony. Clark smiled at him, easing away some his wariness.

"Thought you'd disappeared on us."

Bruce shook his head, staring at a shadow. Clark slipped his hand into his. He nodded at their companions. "Michael. Pieter."

They nodded back and Bruce could see a gleam in Michael's eye that meant he had something techy for him to look at. As long as that damned owl wasn't there...

"No owl tonight?" He asked casually, pretending he didn't see the barely hidden smiles of amusement as Pieter shook his head.

Bruce relaxed slightly. He'd have to go back into the party in a minute, back to the people demanding his attention. But not right now. He squeezed Clark's hand, heart speeding up at the dazzling smile that adorned his lover's face. Not right now.

[taro-twist.livejournal.com]

Whee! This fic was *priceless* LOL at Bruce scheming to mess up all of Clark's suits so he'd be forced to wear a nice one. I can just see him slipping a waiter a hundred dollar bill and telling him to spill something on the hot guy in glasses. =P

OMG, and Bruce's fear of Charlie! That is hilarious. I love how he kept looking around to make sure Charlie wasn't there.

"No owl tonight?" He asked casually, pretending he didn't see the barely hidden smiles of amusement as Pieter shook his head.

*giggles madly*

Also glad to see everyone join Bruce out on the balcony and away from the crowd. Poor Bruce! I don't know he puts up with those parties all the time. *hugs him*

Thank you so much, Star! This was delightful, and totally made my day. :D

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

*dances* Yay! I'm really glad you liked it! :D

*giggles* I couldn't resist! Poor Clark - he never stood a chance! :P

OMG, and Bruce's fear of Charlie! That is hilarious. I love how he kept looking around to make sure Charlie wasn't there.

Bruce insists that he is not afraid of Charlie. He was just... worried... that if it was there it might get inside and scare the other guests. Or so he says. ;)

Also glad to see everyone join Bruce out on the balcony and away from the crowd. Poor Bruce! I don't know he puts up with those parties all the time. *hugs him*

*huggles Bruce* They must be just so... awful! *huggles him even more* But yay for escaping to balconies!

*hugs* Your lovely comments always make my day, so I'm glad I could reciprocate! :D

[jij.livejournal.com]

I want to see...uh, Alan and Ted going to a party together! *grin* Ted is probably really reluctant...anyone else that shows up is bonus!

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

Ted will be very reluctant! :p

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

I feel I should warn you that this is very... odd. LOL.

----------

Alan sighed. That this was going to be difficult was an understatement. He had to get Ted into a suit and at a party being held in Gotham in under an hour.

Ted, of course, was using all of his abilities to try and worm his way out of going. And when he discovered that black tie was compulsory... well.

Alan sighed again. Really, getting Ted ready was always one of the most stressful tasks in life. He took a deep breath, about to conceded defeat, when Ted opened the door and stepped out, looking vastly uncomfortable in a suit that actually fitted him well. Alan let out a breath in surprise.

"Where did you get that?"

Ted looked even more uncomfortable, if it was possible. "The last time I was in Gotham... Selina and Bruce kidnapped me."

Alan eyed him, an eyebrow raised. "They forced you to get a new suit?"

Ted looked away. "C'mon Alan. Lets get going. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can leave and I can get out of-" he paused, looking down at his suit for a moment. "This."

Smiling now, with barely restrained amusement, Alan followed Ted down the corridor.

[jij.livejournal.com]

*snickers* Oh man! Now I'm having so much fun imagining what happened in Gotham, lol. (side note: have never seen Selina/Bruce/Ted, lol. Interesting). Oh, poor Ted--it would be so terrible to be caught between two icons of high fashion like Bruce and Selina! :) Thank you for this, it made my morning. :)

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

LOL, I couldn't resist the idea of Selina and Bruce forcing Ted to get a new suit. :P

I'm really glad you like it, Jen! :D

[rai-daydreamer.livejournal.com]

Because I'm greedy fangirl, my request is Clark/Bruce! XD
(Hehe, I didn't miss your post this time! yay!!)I'm very glad you decided to take this festa! ^o^

Um, prompt... Bruce fixing Clark's tie? (Clark is just happy. Bruce looks... brooding(?) but he secretly enjoying his touch. hehe.)

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

*grins* I can do that!

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry this is so short, Rai! :(

----------

Bruce sighed, then glared, feeling strangely gratified when he saw Clark jump back a bit.

"What?"

Bruce made some 'tut tutting' noises, rolling his eyes a little for a good measure. Clark still looked mystified. Bruce sighed again, before grabbing Clark's tie and undoing the thing Clark dared to have as a knot. Clark blinked. Bruce smoothed the material of the tie out, and began to knot it properly. Now it was Clark's turn to sigh, but Bruce could see the happiness in his eyes. The man probably butchered his tie just for this to happen.

Finally satisfied, Bruce smoothed down the collar of Clark's white shirt, then smoothed the charcoal grey suit jacket down.

"Happy?" Clark asked, eyes gleaming.

Bruce pretended to glower, but secretly did feel happy. Very happy. Clark smiled dazzlingly at him, leaving Bruce blinking, then unable to hide his own smile as he followed Clark into the party.

Bruce sighed, then glared, feeling strangely gratified when he saw Clark jump back a bit.

Lol! I could easily imagine Clark jumping back at Bat-glares!

I love them enjoying things casually. A secret caress and only they know the meaning. ^-^

This was very pretty and I loved it! Thank you very much, Star!

I'm really glad you liked it, Rai! :D
