No Pie at All, by Kleine_Aster (NC-17)

Fandom: DC COMICS
Characters:  Superman/Batman
Length: 5,000
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] kleine_aster

Why this must be read: The author warns for "awkward sex," and I almost let that scare me off, because I was afraid it would be embarrassing sex.  But I braved the click and was rewarded with a story that does a great job of illustrating what can be fun about NC-17 fics with this pairing.  The balance of power between the characters swings back and forth throughout the story, with Bruce being more experienced and confident, yet often finding himself taken off-guard by his own reactions to being with a physically stronger partner.  The sex is both awkward and hot, with a growing affection between the two that's endearing and believable. It is also quite funny:

They could be inches away from the headline 'Billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne massacred in unspecified hilarious sex accident', and Batman has a long list of things he wishes to accomplish before he'd even consider leaving this world.

He feels oddly fragile in these arms. Part of him wants to give in to that, that feeling, and another part of him wants to resist it. Could be self-preservation; could be stupid pride. It doesn't help that Superman looks at him as if he was fragile. Protective. Possessive. It's like looking into a mirror, only that there's a warmth there that Bruce lacks.

It's so strange.
