slowburn or love at first sight // fake dating or secret dating // enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers // there's only one bed or long-distance correspondence // hurt/comfort or amnesia // fantasy au or modern au (this kinda depends coz i love both) // mutual pining or domestic bliss // smut or fluff (also depends on my mood. Also why cant smut be fluffy) // canon-compliant or fix-it (depends on fandom) // reincarnation or character death // one-shot or multi-chapter // kid fic or road trip fic // arranged marriage or accidental marriage // high-school romance or middle-age romance (i like both a lot) // time travel or isolated together // neighbors or roommates // sci-fi au or magic au // body swap or genderbent // angst or crack // apocalyptic or mundane (surprisingly i like no capes aus a lot)

A lot of these depend on my mood and what fandom I'm reading lol, but these are the general stuff!

There's nuance to a lot of these, especially considering the canon material being DC Comics, but I'd say these are the general preferences I have!!

slowburn or love at first sight // fake dating or secret dating // enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers (ideally: enemies to reluctant colleagues to friends to lovers) // there's only one bed or long-distance correspondence (god i love yearning)// hurt/comfort or amnesia // fantasy au or modern au // mutual pining or domestic bliss // smut or fluff // canon-compliant or fix-it (canon is a sandbox <3)// reincarnation or character death // one-shot or multi-chapter // kid fic or road trip fic // arranged marriage or accidental marriage // high-school romance or middle-age romance // time travel or isolated together // neighbors or roommates // sci-fi au or magic au // body swap or genderbent // angst or crack // apocalyptic or mundane

Poor Bruce— but honestly he likes being able to carry Clark

I think this completely captures the frustrations and burdens of silver age superman.

Clark had to do all of that, too, when he was growing up, but a mistake from him could have meant death/destruction for whatever he was interacting with, so i imagine it was a very stressful experience for the kents to try to gently but firmly work through his limits with him in a safe manner that would also convey what an average human would be able to do.

One of the words I imagine Clark learned first was “gentle”. I can see a core memory of his being his Pa holding him as a toddler, teaching him how to reach out and pet their calmest cow so lightly. Clark already so afraid to touch, but Jon takes his little hand in his and applies just enough pressure, petting the cow for him. “Gentle, gentle,” he coaches as Clark starts to do it himself.

Then other, less pleasant ones. Clark being upset at six or seven and trying to fling himself into his mother’s arms. He clings to her too tight, and he hears her rib as it cracks, even before her sudden scream of pain. He learns to wrap his arms around himself, instead, when he’s upset.

Jon makes the mistake of telling a ten-year-old Clark his grip needs to be firm when teaching him how to handshake and gets a fractured bone of his own. It’s six months before he can convince Clark to try again.

The Kents building out little exercises over the course of his life for Clark to learn his limits. Pick up this egg without breaking it. Throw this bale of hay, but only this far.

Maybe even a fun one, teaching him how to line dance. It teaches him how to move in sync with humans, in the way humans can move, at the right controlled speed. Clark has to stomp enough to make a sound, but not break the floor or rattle the ground. He has to jump, but not too high. He has to be very aware of a crowd of dancers around him, understand the space he takes up and how not to collide with anyone.
