What is this this, you say? Why, 'tis Halloween in November! Or, how my Muses insist on sticking with that holiday. :D

You know the old saying you don't want to know how the sausage is made? Well, I feel the same way about looking at the creative process too carefully, yet it's fun to dig at least a little bit.

Why are my Muses intent on working on Halloween-themed fic during the holiday season (notice I refer to them in the plural as no single Muse could cause all this trouble!)? Could be because I started posting chapters of one fic before the holiday and started posting the chapters of the second one only a few days after All Hallows. I thought I was completely barren of other holiday ideas, but an idea popped up a week before Thanksgiving. It's a Clark/Bruce tale if you're interested.

So I will continue working on Halloween fic until another holiday provides inspiration. Actually, my contratrian Muses are teasing another Halloween idea. Oh, well, I can dig spooky stuff any time of year! :)

Twilight was settling softly as Clark gently rocked in the rocking chair on the Kent front porch. The sun was dropping behind the cornfield as a light breeze ruffled his hair. The day had been busy on the farm, and he welcomed the approaching evening. It amused him to think what the general public would think of Superman rocking on the front porch. )

Halloween Rules! :)

As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, as the wind whispers through the trees and the moon rises, it’s time for Halloween stories!

Strange Brew III: One True Love is set at a Halloween ball hosted by Zatanna in Salem, Massachusetts. Clark will find his One True Love courtesy of magic.

More Smallville fun as Clark, Bruce, and Dick join Martha and Jonathan for a Harvest Fair in Heartland VII: “It’s A Great BIG Pumpkin, Bruce Wayne!”

Finally, two spooky, spine-tingling tales of horror: The House At 1313 Maple Street (Mel/Johnny of Public Enemies), and Celtic Moon I: Golden Eagle (Roy/Johnny of Emergency!).

October is the month for Halloween! I’ve got a lot of stories to choose from for this month, and it was tough to decide, but I selected:

Spiced Pumpkin And Whipped Cream, a sweet Clex tale; Heartland VI: "Trick-Or-Treat!", with young Dick happily going trick-or-treating while Clark and Bruce accompany him; A Foggy Day, a Public Enemies story in which a mysterious customer comes into the chocolate shop across the street from the Biograph Theater in Chicago; and a little tale of horror, Death Mask, in which J. Edgar Hoover gets his just desserts.

Not too hard to guess the theme for this month: Valentine’s Day! :)

First up is Cards, Scrabble, And Red Silk, a sweet, fluffy, domestic Valentine’s story as Dick, Roy, and Lian celebrate the holiday.

Next is Heartland III: Cashmere And Chocolate, also sweet, fluffy and domestic fun! :) Clark, Bruce, and pre-teen Dick visit the Kent farm, celebrating the holiday with gifts, chocolates, and family togetherness with Jonathan and Martha.

Lastly, in her early days in America, Diana wishes to experience a traditional romantic Valentine’s Day, which Steve happily obliges in The Princess And The Pilot III: Love Day.

So sit back with a box of chocolates and feast on this fic! Enjoy! :)

This month’s Classic Fic is Heartland I: "Truth, Justice, And The...", a Clark/Bruce story set in Smallville on the Fourth of July. Dick/Roy are part of it, too. It's sweet, sappy, and hopefully heartwarming! ;)

The sequels are also set in Smallvile, Heartland II: Apple Pie, Pumpkins, Popcorn, And The Bluebird Of Happiness and Heartland III: Cashmere And Chocolate, and both take place years before the first story, so Dick is much younger, but even more adorable! ;)

Author’s Notes: Written for the World’s Finest Gift Exchange. When I saw Prompt F41 (Clark and Bruce’s first visit to Smallville as an open couple (your choice whether Clark’s parents know about the relationship already). Bonus points for including a range of reactions from the inhabitants of Smallville, not just happy ones. Rating: Any.), I knew that it would fit in perfectly with this series. This is a prequel to Heartland I: "Truth, Justice, And The...", and you need not have read the first story to enjoy this one, as this story was written especially for the WFGE. As this prequel takes place several years before the events of Heartland I, Dick is around 11 years old in this story.
I hope this is what the requester was looking for. I enjoyed writing it! :)
