Author’s Notes: Written for the 2011 World’s Finest Gift Exchange. Prompt: F2: The rest of the Justice League scattered to spend the holidays with friends and family. Everyone just assumed Clark would be doing the same. But Martha passed away a little while ago, and Lois married Richard, and Clark is all alone on Christmas Eve. Bruce finds out, of course, and decides that Something Must Be Done.
CONTINUITY: SUPERMAN RETURNS/BATMAN BEGINS, but expanding to bring in all the other heroes. One or more of the Robins is fine, too, if it suits the story. Also written for my 2011 DCU Fic/Art Silver-‘N’-Gold Winter Holidays Challenge. Prompt: Silver-‘N’-Gold, natch! ;) and saavikam77’s 2011 DCU_Freeforall Winter Holidays Challenge. Prompts: No. 3: Twinkling Lights/Star/Sparkle, No. 8: Family/Home/Shelter/Hearth and No. 9: Christmas Tree. :)

( Maybe his own heightened sensitivity to his own re-awakened joy made him more aware of others who didn’t seem in the spirit. )

I think I'm starting to feel the holiday spirit! :) I'm looking over my decorations and will probably wrap presents this weekend. The only bummer is that all my spare cash went to storm clean-up so I can't send cards this year. It's the first time I'll have to bow out and it upsets me a little. :(

*sighs* Well, I can concentrate on writing holiday fic. I started my story for the WFGE today so hopefully I won't have to rush to finish it in time for Christmas. I should get my assignment for the Clexmas Winter Holidays Gift Exchange this weekend.

I'm excited about posting my superbat_bb story very soon! min_taiwan's art is incredible. Since LJ Scrapbook only allows a medium size to show in the entries, make sure to click on the pix so that you can see the incredible details!

One other thing: the story may appear to be a deathfic but it isn't. If it was I would have put that in the warning line. It's a serious, dramatic story with plenty of hurt/comfort and angst, but unless I write pure darkfic, I always like to mix in lighter moments and true joy. Life is rarely all of either happiness or sadness, after all. :)

I appreciate all the comments so far on my smallvillebbang story, Bleeding Kansas. When you work that hard and long on a story with a big word count, you really appreciate people letting you know if they liked the story. :)

Hi, luvs! This was pretty much the Year of the Big Bang for me, heh heh, and so instead of loooong works next year I thought I MIGHT consider claims tables or bingo cards again. I'm finally making progress on my dcu_freeforall tables, close to finishing! I know that for DCU characters/pairings I can go there, but I might want to do non-DC stuff. Can you recommend any? I really don't know if I'll sign up for anything but I'm always curious to see what's out there, anyway. You can include challenges and fests, too. Thanks! :)

Oh, and while I'm at it, I know about a lot of cool holiday stuff like gift exchanges (WFGE) and yuletide, but if you have any you like, whether DC or not, let me know!
