a lil snippet of kryptonians with fangies for you......... •́ᵥᵥ•̀....
600ish words, gen, kon and clark, no particular warnings, does not really fit into canon timelines, just early on in their relationship. written mostly just to dabble in kon's voice as a warmup for wsbf :D
---
Superman sighs after a second. His thumbs press very slightly on Kon’s cheek, and then he lets go. “It looks like your fangs are impacted.”
Kon drops his head, shakes off the weird after touch feeling of Superman’s hands on his face.
Wait.
“Say that again.”
“Your fangs are a little impacted. The left one’s grown in lopsided,” Superman says. His brow’s furrowed again but in that way that means he’s thinking, not in the way that means he’s mad. “My left, your right, that is.”
“My... fangs.”
Superman nods, still thinking.
“Okay,” Kon says slowly, and feels the roof of his mouth again with his tongue, as if he hasn’t been constantly doing that the last two weeks. “My fangs?”
It comes out a little loud. Superman’s attention snaps back to him, the full spotlight of it. “Did I not…” He trails off, looks a little pained.
“Tell me about growing fangs?” Kon says, a little hysterically. This is possibly the best thing that has happened to him since the Justice League continued to allow Young Justice to exist.
Superman winces. “I guess not,” he says. “I’m sorry. I should have mentioned it.”
“But you don’t have fangs,” Kon says, brain still trying to wrap itself around the idea that extra teeth have been in his skull this whole time and he may be about to look twenty times cooler all the time.
Superman looks at him, head tilted again. “They’re retractable,” he says.
Okay. That makes sense. Out of every single superhero Kon has met thus far, Superman is probably the only one square enough to have fangs and not show them off. “And how do I un-retract them?” he asks. That has to be priority one.
“Well, they’re impacted right now. And they’re still growing in. So you don’t.”
This is pure Superman. First tell a guy he has fangs and then immediately say he has to be responsible about them. “Can we un-impact them?”
Superman nods, thinking. “There should be something about it in Kandor,” he mutters to himself, and then refocuses on Kon. “I need to do some research first, but yes.” Kon's maybe-not-so-subtly trying to look at his teeth while he talks. They seem disappointingly human looking. He’s about to make a comment when Superman - huh. Superman lets out a breath of air that on anyone else Kon would call a snort. “Still retracted,” he says.
This might be difficult. Kon gathers all his resources, and hits Clark with his widest eyed, pleading-est stare. “Can I see them? Please?”
Superman looks at him a moment, mouth twisted up into a smile at the corner. Then he drops his head down a little and moves his jaw and tongue in a strange kind of way. He swallows, and then smiles again, slowly opening up from his normal closed-mouth smile to a bared-teeth smile to a wide sort of awkward grimace.
Holy shit. His canines have been replaced with fangs. Twice the size of his other teeth. Superman opens his mouth wider, and Kon can faintly see the tips of his human looking canines just above his gum line, where they’ve retreated to make room for the fangs to slot in. It changes his whole face shape into something leaner, more dangerous, more alien.
Kon needs his teeth to be fixed ASAP. “Holy shit,” he says without thinking. “I mean. That’s so cool. Why the hell would you ever retract those?”
Superman’s eyebrow drifts up. His lips close over his weird grimace. Even with his mouth closed his face still looks strange - his jaw’s opened a bit, to make room for the huge fucking fangs. “I try not to scare people,” he says, and there’s a strange wry note in his voice that makes Kon think he maybe should back off. Still. Goddamn.

Me when I see you tag that rhubarb post with the wsbf fic tag:
(FYI, I am always excited when I get an update for wsbf in my inbox, I have really been enjoying this story you have been creating 😄)
;w; thank youuu.....! I reblogged that 100% just thinking about the Symbolism of it. and then 20 minutes later I was like hm. you know what that's probably the fundamental principle behind how they aged up kon. and clark's been kept light starved so long he probably looks like the humanoid equivalent of forced rhubarb. not to mention you can hear rhubarb popping and snapping as it grows. poor kon's joints.........
^ main universe clark vs wsbf clark. get that man some soup
you know i don't think i've ever had someone wrongly assume my age before? i never get carded and no one seem surprised when i tell them my age lol. so i guess i look my age! (early-mid 20s)
31. What your last text message says
i don't really text, my last few were all boring work related stuff lol. so let's do discord DMs instead
I'll get back to writing my slightly overripe avocados
shoutout to Gement and the superbatweek server for injecting "write your avocados" into several people's vocabularies including mine 🥑 was the above msg to me or from me? i'll leave that a mystery
44. A random fact about anything
most people probably know about chemo and radiation therapy as cancer treatments, but there's also something called internal radiation therapy, which is when the source of radiation is placed inside the body (as opposed to conventional external beam radiation, where a machine blasts your body with radiation from the outside). i didn't know about this until i did a rotation in a cancer ward and got to observe a 177Lu (Lutathera) treatment! certain radioisotopes take to certain types of cancer cells, so the radiation is concentrated in the cancer cells despite circulating through the body. i love medicine <3
12. how am i: my feet fucking hurt, i’m badly sunburnt, and the weather sucks - and i’m having the time of my life <3 on vacation and just so incredibly happy to hang out with my friends and experience new things and places. life is good! i hope you are too <3
30. what reminds me of home: petrichor, snow on mountaintops, and watching the ocean from a pier. penguins and dachshunds, they were my mom’s favorite animals. egg salad and lapskaus (Norwegian stew), some of my dad’s favorite foods. also i had a lox and cream cheese bagel which i know is a NYC staple but salmon and cream cheese is such a Norwegian flavor combo to me, so that really took me home for a moment.

I’m having the most fun writing wsbf because it's rolling around in The Tropes so much, but it’s also kind of terrifying knowing how long it’s going to be, so I’ll say isostatic. I think writing the second chapter literally a year after the first made it inevitably disjointed, but the perspective switch helps to disguise it. I think it was the right choice to leave it for so long while I tried to understand Bruce’s personality better, and I felt fairly happy with how his brain worked in the end - and also really appreciated the comments about how he seemed in character to the commenters. I know most of the superbat fandom feels the way about Bruce the way I feel about Clark (ie Bruce is their #1 blorbo fav even if the other is close behind in their heart) and I really wanted to do right by him. It's awkward to have the second chapter's conversation go on for so long, but... looking back over it, the title worked out in the end. Isostasy refers to the geographic equilibrium that floats the Earth's crust; Clark's suddenly and inadvertently disrupted that stasis in the way that only Superman can create planetary-scale upheaval, and Bruce's chapter is the slow aftershocks, shifting the terrain until the love that he's buried is revealed, shining in the earth like a diamond. I'm gonna have a hell of a time coming up with a title half as satisfying for the sequel
11. fandom you enjoyed writing for the most this year
The Superman brainrot was all-consuming this year. I did not touch any other fandoms 💀
14. a fic you didn’t expect to write
sure on this shining night... I would say that at some point I did expect to write something with Kara and preserving her heritage, and I'd been thinking about a winter solstice Raoist holiday for a long time, but definitely not so soon into my fandom experience! I’m a very very anxious writer who hesitates to use characters they don’t know as much as they’d like. In my previous fandoms I’d comb over the canon multiple times as in depth as I could (which was a hell of a lot easier since they were books or movies instead of 80+year multimedia franchises). With Kara, I haven’t chewed over her as much as I want to, but when I got my assignment for the Superfam Secret Santa it was the prompt that most spoke to me. I was still very nervous about it though.
Also I didn’t expect to write an (unpublished) superbat pwp where bruce is a catboy but bottom bruce wayne october's prompts were. so good.
