    Summary

    Lois wrinkles her nose. “Flowers? Doesn’t my boyfriend’s death warrant an Edible Arrangement, at least?”

    “Grievers can’t be choosers,” says Jimmy. He then points to Clark, the apparent source of the grief. “Especially when their boyfriends aren’t actually dead.”

    Clark gives a shrug. “I think the flowers are a nice sentiment.”

    “Not that I got any flowers,” complains Jimmy, while carrying said flowers over to the coffee table. “Doesn’t the best friend of the deceased deserve condolences too?”

    Without getting up, Clark leans over to pluck a flower from the vase, then tucks it into the pocket of Jimmy’s jacket. “There. You have my condolences for my death.”

    “Touching, Clark. Really.”


    In other words, 5 times Clark Kent “dies.” And one time he actually does. (Mostly.)

    Summary

    “Hey Clark!” Jimmy grinned. “How’s the arctic?”

    “Cold.”

    “How’s the dog?” Lois smirked.

    “Energetic.” Clark replied tiredly. “Training is going—” Clark glanced up at the clatter of something in the entryway. He heard paws storming through the hallway, a sudden blur of white and a chilly breeze scattered his notes as his sandwich was expertly plucked from his hand. "Well."

    Clark sighed.

    Jimmy and Lois cracked up on the other end of the line.

    Summary

    This is a vaguely 5 and 1 style anthology of the city helping Superman. It’s set directly after Zero Day Part 2 and includes a determined paramedic, Libby being a little ray of sunshine, one rather gruff teddy bear of a cab driver, a soft spoken gentleman who appears at just the right time, an older lesbian couple and their sleepy old cat, and, finally, Clark finding solace in the reflections of his city’s kindness.

    clark grew up absorbing human body language and cultural customs; his body language immediately marks him as someone who did not grow up around other kryptonians. its a little strange for them to see.

    Summary

    “This is where I take nutritional breaks and sleep. I have training scheduled in 24 minutes,” he explains, a little uncertain.

    “Oh,” she adds, an automatic vocal filler that often gets interviewees to continue.

    “Of course, if you need anything done now, I’ll do it,” he adds, with just a slight undercurrent of a rush.

    His face may be smooth, his tone blandly professional, but this boy is terrified.

    Summary

    Jack Fenton likes to tell his kids stories about his childhood, sometimes. Likes to talk about his college years, likes to talk about the vastness of the Fenton family, likes to talk about the little cabin in the woods he didn’t leave until he was twenty years old. It’s something of a hobby of his, to reminisce.

    But like every parent, there’s just a few things that go unsaid. A secret name, a secret origin, some lost fragment of a past lightyears behind him. His children have inherited near nothing of it, he’d thought, and perhaps it was best they never know.

    And then he discovers his son can fly.

    (Or: Forty years ago, Jax-An crash landed in Earth’s atmosphere. Five minutes ago, Jack Fenton realised he might have passed more onto his son than he’d first thought.)

    Summary

    The purr is called urvishulahdh. The cultural anthology tells him that it can be used to calm children, or even as a self-soothing mechanism, but it is most common between family members as an expression of contentment, tranquility, peace.

    Clark stares at the 3D anatomy diagram of the throat, the auxiliary vocal cords layered underneath the human-like main set, as they slowly vibrate, and asks the Fortress in halting Kryptonian to play the associated audio.

    Kryptonians purr. Clark purrs, and then doesn't. Until he needs to.

    Summary

    Danny fell out of a portal at the age of ten in front of a couple of scientists with no memory of his past. Five years later, after loosing everything, he remembers his childhood and death in the League of Assassins, and his little brother Damian. Protecting Damian is all he has left.

    Tim wants to know why the Manor's haunted.

    Summary

    Adventures of a College Boy is a collection of snippets set when Jimmy and Clark were in college. It's pretty much just fluffy fluff for the sake of fluff with a wee bit of hurt/comfort thrown in.
    It is not written chronologically, it is written with whatever amuses my brain and then placed in order as things are added.

    Summary

    “I mean we do have an expert farm boy.” Jimmy nodded. Clark shifted in his seat, his face turning red.
    Actually I—” He pushed on his glasses awkwardly. “There aren’t many apple orchards in Kansas. The better growing conditions are up north, in Michigan.”
    “You’ve never gone apple picking?” Jimmy and Lois exclaimed in perfect tandem.
    Clark hunched over a little, “No.”
    “What about hayrides?”
    “I used to sit on top the wagon to help pa move hay?”
    “Pumpkin patch?”
    “We grew pumpkins.” Clark shrugged, “Why go somewhere when I could just go get a pumpkin from my own yard?”
    “That’s fair.” Jimmy nodded.
    “No, it’s not!” Lois exclaimed, a bit of pancake flew off her fork and splatted on Clark’s shirt as her hands waved around.
    ** Last edit was just updating the recipe to include the celery tops.**

    Summary

    By the time Jimmy and Clark had graduated the tradition had grown into something of a community party in the little shop which occurred a couple times each fall, whenever enough people decided to do it and in the winter before any big storms.
    “You know, maybe Superman would like to come.” Murry, a TNR volunteer said to Clark as she filled the gaps in the insolation with straw, “I mean he likes animals as much as you do, Clark.”
    “He does.” Clark replied, stiffly, with a nervous smile, he focused a bit more on petting the store cat than he had been. He heard Jimmy and Kari laugh as they swapped cat stories.

    Summary

    His father had taught him to trust. His life had taught him that people were good. Sometimes they fell, certainly, sometimes they took the wrong path or sometimes they got pushed, but people were good. Jimmy was good, Jimmy was his best friend.
    And Clark was, after all, made to hope.
    “Mr. Olsen!” Clark called, he tried to keep his voice from rising up excitedly, the way it usually did when he greeted Jimmy.

    Summary

    “I can’t believe we are going camping in the middle of winter.” Jimmy huffed. “How did I let you convince me to go camping in the middle of winter? It’s 13 degrees out here!”
    “Because you were curious?” Lois blew on her hands as she set another pile of logs down for Clark to split later. “And besides, this is way better than how I did it with—“ Lois glanced at Clark, who was busy figuring out how to anchor the tent when the ground was frozen solid and covered in 15 inches of snow. “When I was growing up.”

    Summary

    Jimmy should be used to it by now. He really should be used to it by now. He had a roommate who sleep-floated and broke doors on a regular basis. Not to mention the exploding alarm clocks and snapped faucets if Jimmy startled him.
    Quiet, calm voices were a must when rooming with Superman.
    But Clark didn’t look up from his staring contest with the desk. His eyes were flickering between a weird glowing teal that erased his irises and turned his pupils off white, their normal sky-blue shade, and bright burning red, as a bead of sweat trickled down his temple. There was a pot of water with a thermometer in front of him and he was perfectly still. Jimmy wasn’t sure if he was even breathing or had forgotten that particular detail of playing human.

    Jimmy's perspective of his friendship with Clark Kent.

    Summary

    His roommate liked to cook.
    And Jimmy though he liked to cook, he’d grown up cooking with his parents, made the recipes they’d passed down his own. It wasn’t on his top ten list of all-time favorite activities though. Not like Clark who came in with a neatly organized bin of spices including powdered veggies that were probably not only homemade but also home grown, and cooked enough food for half the city every other day.
    But he didn’t seem to like to eat. Not in front of people.

    Sneaking into parties and being found out by men more famous than the Beatles and Jesus and George Washington combined is the kind of thing that gets security hauling you out and dumping you on your butt by the trash at best, or even just being flat arrested at worst.

     

    Clark and Lois sneak into a party for a story while totally not fighting, and meet both a new and very familiar face.
