I should write what now?

lady_saraiI'm all aflutter and flaily. (Yes, it's a word, shut up.) =D ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide is making for much glee. Everything is SO well-written and lovely!
And I'm literally going mad trying to not respond to the comments I've gotten on my fic and seeing the response it's getting. I have joy. Also, seeing the fic written for me get recced is VERY exciting. Almost as exciting as seeing the fic *I* wrote get recced. ::bounces on hands::
I'm not good at this anonymous thing, but I'm doing very well, I think.
There is a fabulous Superman Returns fic, Interview Skills, featuring Superman and Richard White, and it makes Bruce Wayne a classmate of Richard's in college. According to Batman Begins, that would be Princeton.
And I am utterly in love with the idea of those two being more than just passing aquaintances, but roommates.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
likeadeuce should write something about this, as she mentioned it earlier and I will be a nag if I have to. ;) But... yeah, apparently I have a bunny. Of the plot variety.
zoe_chan is doing a lovely job beckoning me to the dark side.
lady_sarai: I, my dear, am going to a very special kind of Hell.
zoe_chan: oh?
zoe_chan: whyso?
lady_sarai: Because not only do I think that Richard White and Bruce Wayne would be perfect as college roommates for the semester or year Bruce attended Princeton, but I have this rather insane notion that they would have made a rather screwed up but good couple.
lady_sarai: And no good could come of it, and it would End when Bruce left, but still.
zoe_chan: Leaving an emotionally damaged Richard behind...
lady_sarai: And you understand that slashing two characters simply because they are male and friends is NOT my first instinct under normal circumstances.
zoe_chan: I know this
lady_sarai: Hmm. O_O Perhaps it leaves behind a Richard who SETTLES in his love affairs.
lady_sarai: oh! ::flaily:: Even when he knows the woman he loves is in love with someone else.
zoe_chan: O_O
lady_sarai: (However, I am insanely fond of the idea of Bruce and Richard staying in touch--or getting in touch years later, and possibly being friends, in a strange way.)
zoe_chan: I smell a plot bunny...
lady_sarai: Dear god, am I creating a crossover?
zoe_chan: you are.
lady_sarai: ::headdesk::
zoe_chan: and now you must write it.
lady_sarai: GUH!
lady_sarai: I am so going to copy this and post it in my LJ.
zoe_chan: ::prods::
lady_sarai: I should write my Helga/Salazar saga in January. But.....
lady_sarai: oh.
lady_sarai: Bruce/Richard is just sort of highly appealing and eating my brain.
zoe_chan: It's best when the idea comes to you close to the thing--you aren't all that invested in it yet, and you don't feel like you need to "take time to write it properly"
lady_sarai: and when have I EVER felt the urge to slash characters?
lady_sarai: Mind you, I also don't think either male is gay. I think Bruce doesn't care, and Richard is attracted to Bruce. (And later Clark. Ahem.)
lady_sarai: Bruce is so goddamned screwed up when he's in college.
zoe_chan: this is true.
lady_sarai: And Richard is the kind of guy who won't turn the car on until his seatbelt is buckled.
lady_sarai: (in college, that is)
zoe_chan: absolutely
lady_sarai: ...I rather like the idea of Richard knowing who both Superman AND Batman really are; or rather, who their alter egos are. And I think he would care about them as Clark and Bruce, more than the other way around.
zoe_chan: I agree.
lady_sarai: (It's possible I'm turning Richard White into some personal Perfect Character, but maybe that doesn't matter. ;-))
zoe_chan: but the thing with Superman is that he's not "Clark Kent masquerading as Superman," it's the other way around. Not so with Bruce Wayne/Batman
zoe_chan: if that means anything, which likely, it does not
lady_sarai: exactly. But he knew him before he had Batman, when the Bruce/Batman dichotomy was blurred.
zoe_chan: yes.
lady_sarai: It was not a *happy* affair, certainly.
zoe_chan: ::snorts::
zoe_chan: Honestly, I very much doubt that anything
about Bruce Wayne can be considered happy.
lady_sarai: It's true.
lady_sarai: Bruce is Screwed. Up.
lady_sarai: He returns from college with a DEFINITE plan to kill a man. This does not lead to hugs and puppies.
zoe_chan: no.
lady_sarai: I think Bruce gave up. I can see him completely not caring at ALL about his academics, and winding up on Academic Probation before being kicked out.
lady_sarai: which would drive Richard insane.
zoe_chan: yes.
zoe_chan: It would.
zoe_chan: because Richard's attitude would be "Well why fucking bother, Bruce?"
lady_sarai: Exactly!
lady_sarai: And Bruce's attitude is "Well, WHY fucking bother?"
lady_sarai: Oh. ::smooshes them:: Oh, boys.
lady_sarai: This pairing is CRACK but I'm kind of loving it madly.
zoe_chan: Richard is floored at his response.
lady_sarai: ::flails in flaily love::
zoe_chan: It is a weird crack Pairing--I demand you write it for your January Nano.
lady_sarai: And Bruce would be utterly calm about the whole thing.
lady_sarai: ::sigh::
zoe_chan: ::hypnotizes you with voodoo charms::
lady_sarai: O_O ::has something of a revelation, mostly unrelated to our current line of thought:: ...maybe... part of why Bruce gave up and left was that he started to love Richard, or recognized that, and gave in to his instincts and when Richard wouldn't be pushed away, he ran away back to Gotham. The trial was convenient; also, a good distraction.
lady_sarai: because Bruce shoves everyone away so he won't lose them. Except maybe Alfred, who he pushes but is rather like superglue. ;-)
zoe_chan: ::shakes with joy at your plot thought::
lady_sarai: This is so totally different and new for me, this whole idea.
lady_sarai: ::is bouncy::
zoe_chan: hehe
lady_sarai: and GUH, Richard. Left behind, and then he hears that Bruce has disappeared, and then he's gone for SEVEN YEARS and is even declared dead! And then Bruce comes back! And guh.
lady_sarai: ::has no idea what to do with all this::
Oh, plot bunnies. You and a glass of wine do not mix. (Or rather, you DO, too well for my own good.)
...I need an icon for this utter crack crossover pairing of DOOOM.
They're so messed up, it hurts, but I LOVE it. (Particularly the scenezoe_chan and I just worked our way through! GUH!!!)
And now, I am so going to bed it isn't funny. And you know, wine? Goes straight to my head. Hello, lala-land.
