Dear Author,
My friends and I love cosplay, and this year we’re going all out for our city’s con. Yup, we’re going to go as members of the Justice League. I’m going as Batman, but I can’t figure out who’s going as a Superman. My friends are being a little cagey. What’s going on? How did I go from not knowing who Superman is to making out with the guy?

 

What a wonderful interpretation of this prompt! 

Bryce and Clark meet again after years, and while Bryce is dead set on surpressing is old feelings and not getting close to Clark again, all "Superman" Clark wants is to get back to the easy connection they once shared.

Annabeth Albert hit the nail on the head - again - with this one for me. I loved the alternating POVs, but Bryce definitely was my favorite. And I loooved the shower scene! So sexy, but tender at the same time. This was a real gem. All the love from me!

I now have an overwhelming desire to go on a Batman/Superman fan fic binge.

"I'd wanted to know what he tasted like for years now, but in that instant I realized I'd known all along: he tasted like the memory of all my favorite things."



This was very sweet, really clever and rather hawt. Bryce made me want to punch him a few times but he was afraid of losing more people he loved so I guess he can be forgiven, I just think that his reasoning for falling out with Clarke was flawed and unfair but it all works out so can't really complain.

This is so worth reading and if you are a Batman or Superman fan then it's a must read.

Great fun and a free read as part of 'Love is an Open Road' so what's not to love?

Now wasn’t this cute!!!

Bryce (Bruce) and Clark dressed up as Batman and Superman….

I love friends to lovers stories!!
Bryce and Clark were friends since college, shared dorms together.

One kiss changed everything… Clark going to Oxford for University and scared starting a long distance-relationship.

After five years Clark comes back home and will do anything in his power to get Bryce back.

“He took a deep breath at the same time, something magical happening where time and our breath slowed down and synchronized. That I was going to kiss him was a given now, but neither of us rushed it. We lay there, breathing, holding, knowing.”



The boys were great together and even in these few pages I could feel their connection!! Very well done!!

“Maybe being scared together is the only solution,” I said at last.
“Sometimes you just have to don the cape and pray you fly.” Clark laughed, a lot of relief tingeing his voice. “But I think it’s easier when you have a partner.”

STORY LETTER:
Dear Author,

My friends and I love cosplay, and this year we’re going all out for our city’s con. Yup, we’re going to go as members of the Justice League. I’m going as Batman, but I can’t figure out who’s going as a Superman. My friends are being a little cagey. What’s going on? How did I go from not knowing who Superman is to making out with the guy?

Please no GFY or OFY. Both characters are out and proud (bisexual is cool too). Please make it at least HFN. No dubcon. Also both characters are close in age.

Sincerely,

Elci

This was amazing!

I was expecting a cute story that I would love, but I didn't know I would love it this much. It's going straight onto my favorites list.

Bryce and Clark were friends in college. But one kiss changed everything and things haven't been the same since. Bryce hardened his heart against Clark. But Clark, after five years apart, wants his friend back and for them to maybe become more.

The tattoos totally fit who he was, and I wanted to spend hours tracing them with my tongue. All man. All mine.

These two are adorable and sweet together. They were also a little awkward, in a really sweet, adorable way. The history between them strengthened the chemistry between them and I loved the little bits of jealousy between both.

The ending was perfection. It left me with a huge grin on my face!

He tugged me to standing, then stood himself, kissing me soundly. Gradually the kiss morphed from something celebratory to something hotter, more primal, and I had a feeling breakfast was rapidly cooling, but couldn’t summon up the energy to care. I had a future to worry about.
