Dawn was just breaking over the horizon. Normally by this time, Batman would be safe inside his cave where the sun couldn't reach him. Today though, he was still outside and staring in wonder at Superman.

He had come to Gotham to talk to Batman because it had been a slow night in both of their cities. So, they had just talked about everything and nothing as the night slowly gave way to day. And Kal looked... awe-inspiring as the rising sun seemed to lovingly caress his form as if they were long parted lovers who had dreamt of doing so for many, many long nights.

Kal had his eyes closed and was soaking in as much of the light as he could. Batman had retreated into the shadows that were rapidly diminishing. He turned, and looked once more at Kal, before starting to head to the Cave. But he was pulled up short as a blue clad arm reached out and touched him. Batman turned and looked at Superman. He was practically glowing in the shadows.

"Don't go. Not yet. Please."

The look in his eyes... it was something not even he could ignore. Batman gave a short nod and was rewarded with a smile that rivaled the rising sun. Kal gently pulled him out of the shadows and into the sunlight. Batman closed his eyes and breathed in the fresh morning air. When he opened them, Kal was only inches away.

"Beautiful" Kal whispered, just before he kissed him. Batman smiled into the kiss. Sometimes, even he needed the sun.

That right there is one of the best Clark/Bruce fics I have ever read because it shows them, light and darkness and how they need one another. Simply beautiful, my friend!

Oh, wow!! *blushes a lot* Thank you!! I'm so glad you liked it! :)

This was beautiful. I loved the light/dark, sun/shadows imagery. It was enough to make me sigh happily. :) Bravo.

Oh, thank you!! I'm so glad you liked it! :)

Gorgeous! I loved this line:

So, they had just talked about everything and nothing as the night slowly gave way to day.

The everything and nothing bit was such a great way of showing how close to each other they are. And this was beautiful, too:

And Kal looked... awe-inspiring as the rising sun seemed to lovingly caress his form as if they were long parted lovers who had dreamt of doing so for many, many long nights.

Mmmm ... Kal/Sun = OTP!

And your descriptions were so vivid ... I could really feel the sunlight and the cool morning air. And towards the end, Kal just seemed to become the sun, and Batman kissing the sun and ... eeee, so beautiful!

I'm glad that bit worked! :)

LOL, yes Kal/Sun!!

And your descriptions were so vivid ... I could really feel the sunlight and the cool morning air. And towards the end, Kal just seemed to become the sun, and Batman kissing the sun and ... eeee, so beautiful!

Thank you! Yes, Kal was very... shiny at the end! LOL How could Bruce resist him? ;)

Thank you for commenting! :)

Mmm. I really liked this. Your writing makes me feel like I'm sitting in the sunlight.

And Kal looked... awe-inspiring as the rising sun seemed to lovingly caress his form as if they were long parted lovers who had dreamt of doing so for many, many long nights.

That was my favorite line. The relationship between Superman and the sun is fascinating and you seem to capture it with one sentence.

Batman smiled into the kiss. Sometimes, even he needed the sun.

Aww. Yay!

Thanks so much for writing!

That line was one of my favorites! I love the relationship between Superman and the sun so I'm really happy you thought I'd captured it there! :)

And, yes, a sweet ending!

Thank you for commenting! :)

I *love* this!!! You showed the perfect dichotomy here, the defining element of their relationship. And of course Bruce smiled into the kiss - because where darkness meets light, there is perfect beauty. ^_^

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :) Yes! There is perfect beauty! *stares at your pretty icon* Thank you for commenting!

Kal gently pulled him out of the shadows and into the sunlight.

Ah, perfection. I love the very gentle metaphors in this one, and the almost translucent simplicity of that sentence actually made me well up a little. It's gorgeous!

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

That was one of my favorite lines! Yes, Kal is gently pulling Bruce into the light! :) Thank you for commenting, Jen!

Oh, so lovely, Star!

The sun/shadows imagery was perfect, and I always love Clark's relationship with the sun. The sun makes love to him every day! :)

And even Bruce couldn't resist Clark in the full glow of his sun-feeding.

"Beautiful" Kal whispered, just before he kissed him. Batman smiled into the kiss. Sometimes, even he needed the sun.

Beautiful! Yes, even a Bat needs the sun sometimes! :)

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

I love Clark's relationship with the sun too! LOL, yes, the sun does! :)

How could anyone resist Clark while he was getting his sun fix for the day? ;)

The Bat really does! Luckily, Clark is willing to be the sun for Bruce! :)

Thank you for commenting!

What else can I say?
Couldn't find any adjective but beautiful!

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thank you!! :) I'm glad you liked it!

[svgurl.livejournal.com]

that was absolutely beautiful. i love the imagery . . . you have such a way with words. The descriptions were just all kinds of awesome.

clark/bruce with the whole light/dark theme always makes for a lovely fic.

thanks so much for writing it and sharing it with us! :)

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thank you!! :)

I love Clark/Bruce with a light/dark theme! It's part of what I love most about the pairing.

Thank you for commenting! I'm really glad you liked it! :)

*sighs* I so love the chilly dawn feel of this story. It's.. quiet but full of life and promises, fresh but.. but it will get warmer. The scene is beautiful and I adore that Bruce stays by Clark's request. He often won't, but right here *swoons* I love this piece! Thank you so much for writing it and ease the angst of Bruce dying, as much as I love my dying Bruce. He's delicious ;)

I'm really glad you like it, Mina! :)

Bruce couldn't resist Clark while he was looking so pretty! lol

Bruce is alive again! At least until I kill him again, lol. ;)

[cavaleira.livejournal.com]

Oh, this was lovely, especially that last line. Clark is the warmth and brightness in Bruce's life and he definitely needs that.

Now I have "Here Comes the Sun" stuck in my head ;)

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! Yes, Bruce definitely needs warmth and brightness and Clark is just the person to bring it to him. :D

[thebatbunny.livejournal.com]

i'm such a sucker for this theme..it just shows how different and alike these two are!!
thanks for making me all warm inside! ;)

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you! :) Yes, Bruce and Clark are different, but the same as well.

Thank you for the comment! It's made me feel better today! :)
