Classic Fic Of The Month (January 2010)

Welcome to a New Year(soon)! :)

Let’s hope 2010 is better for a lot of us, eh?

For the past two years I've spotlighted Classic Fic of the Month and thought I’d do so again this year. Fandom on the Internet is tough to keep up with, and the Net is so ephemeral by its nature, I thought it would be nice to look back at previous stories. In 2009, I did a themed post each month, so I thought I would continue with that, and perhaps mix in months featuring specific pairings.

A year ago this month a new Administration was inaugurated in Washington, and the best of the DCU was there: Brand New Day with a touch of Camelot. As for Camelot, how about a fairytale of Kings and Princes: Diamond Heart, a Clark/Bruce tale sure to warm the coldest heart. :)

Author’s Notes: This story was written for Once Upon A Time In Gotham, a Superman/Batman fairytale e-zine, which can be downloaded here. I’d really recommend doing so, if just to see the stunning illustration for my story by [livejournal.com profile] avium. I loved working with her, and the results are well worth the download, not to mention all the other great stories and art! Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] tmelange for putting this project together! :)
This tale is loosely based on Beauty And The Beast.

He forced his body to keep going, tightening his hold on Dick. He was just about ready to fall into despair again when he saw it: a great, glittering castle, tall spires and turrets rising high from the snow. )
