    Summary

    “This is a love story.” | “This is a detective story.”

    When Clark Kent follows a lead into Gotham, he doesn’t expect to find himself face-to-face with the city’s true guardian: a bat with fangs, claws, and a half-feral silhouette in the dark. Suspicious, circling him like prey, Batman tests every ounce of Clark’s resolve—only for Clark’s soft, fumbling devotion to slip through anyway (“What the hay, are those fangs?”).

    Between the silk shawls and champagne smiles of Bruce Wayne, Gotham’s pretty boy prince, and the blood-hungry shadow of the Bat, Clark finds himself caught between two men—one golden, one monstrous—and falling for both. Too earnest, too desperate, too willing to kneel if it means being near him.

    Or: three ways Clark Kent breaks Bruce Wayne’s walls—by humiliating himself, by offering himself, and by never stopping.

    Summary

    An old Inazuman proverb says: “Though the fool waits, the day does not”.

    Actually, that proverb might not have actually come from Inazuma – much unlike Monsieur Neuvillette’s handsome friend whom he met during the previous year’s Fontinalia Festival – and whom he strangely forgot to mention to Wriothesley this entire time.
    Wriothesley ends up accompanying the two on Mr. Ayato’s sightseeing tour, and quickly realizes that for *some* reason, he can’t stand him. No, he’s not jealous. That’d be ridiculous! He’s far too old for that. It’s not like he’s even in love with Neuvillette, or—
    Okay, fine. He might be in love with him. So, what now? He’s got his own reasons not to confess, but is he just supposed to sit there and watch that sleazeball steal his man? And what kind of FREAK adds tapioca to his tea, anyway?!

    Well, as another Inazuman proverb would say: “The words unspoken leave the commissioner wishing some people would just get a room and stop taking their sexual frustration out on him”.

    Summary

    Simon never thought he'd meet a famous painter, let alone find himself in the studio of one. It's like stepping into another realm, one where different rules apply and he just might find himself bound here forever, unable to leave.
