Love, like life itself, is a fragile thing. It can distract you from the harshness of reality and remind you of it. Sometimes what makes things easier is finding someone to share that with. But... life isn't a freaking fairytale, it's hard and it takes the smallest things to bring us back to that reality. To keep us grounded.
People don't tend to look past the Superman and just see the man underneath. Clark Kent has realized that he has had enough of being put down and used by the women he thought cared for him in the same way he does for them but all he has ever gotten was ridicule, pain, and betrayal. Thinking that he is meant to be truly alone no matter what he does, he begins to give up on finding his happiness Maybe Ma Kent was wrong, there isn't somebody out there for everybody. Or maybe it just takes a different way of seeing life through someone else's eyes to enjoy the little things that entrance us. Then there's Ettie. She has given up on trying to have a fairytale love story, it's unrealistic and a waste of time. Too many people have been hurt waiting for prince charming. Everything is about give and take, her past has taught her that much, stalking her at each chance. She is so tired of putting others before herself, even at the risk of her own safety, but no more. From this point on, she'll only put in as much effort as they do, she'll care as much as they do, no more and no less. This way she can be happy, right?
Join these two on their journey of self-discovery and acceptance as they overcome their fears.

yours to keep - clark kent
𝘊𝘓𝘈𝘙𝘈 𝘍𝘓𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘚, one of the new interns at the Daily Planet hasn't always felt like she belonged. Ever since she was a little girl she always felt like an outcast. Whether it was her talking about interests that girls "shouldn't" be into like superheroes or dinosaurs or even when she was talking about things girls "should" be into. However, everytime she picked a camera, she felt like her story belonged. That her side mattered. No one would know it was her behind the camera unless they looked at the citation. She could tell any story she wanted in a photograph without feeling like an outcast. That was up until Clark Kent came along and made her realize her story didn't just have to be in a photograph, but that it could be outside of the photograph. That her story did matter. She mattered. story made by - anevilresident!! <3Complete
Unethical ~ Clark Kent
At the Daily Planet, truth is everything - but some truths are unbearable. Elara Vance has built her career capturing honesty through a lens. Her photographs stop time, reveal what others overlook, and turn chaos into beauty. She sees the world clearly - except when it comes to Clark Kent. Clark is warmth in human form - steady, kind, impossibly good. And that's the problem. He's the man who never misses a deadline, never lets a promise break, never stops running when someone else needs him. Especially Lois Lane. To everyone else, they're just colleagues, best friends bound by a lifetime of headlines. But to Elara, it feels like standing in a shadow that will never move. She doesn't resent him. She can't. But loving Clark Kent feels like loving something you're never meant to have - too pure, too unreachable. And every time he leaves without explanation, every time his eyes flick to his phone mid-conversation, Elara feels the quiet ache of being almost enough. Until Clark finds out. When he learns what she's been hiding behind her calm smile - the loneliness, the doubt, the quiet conviction that she'll always come second - it shatters him. Because for all his strength, Clark has one fatal flaw: he's never known how to put himself first. And for the first time in his life, he wants to. He wants her. Determined to prove that his heart belongs only to Elara, Clark begins to fight - not for the world, but for her. Every rescue, every story, every secret he's kept becomes a test of devotion. But loving Elara means learning to be human in a way Superman never has - to be vulnerable, to stay, to choose her even when the world burns for his attention.Complete

She falls hard for him, her reality of love far greater than her fantasies, but when a familiar pain resurfaces in paradise, and she feels like she may be walking down memory lane, will she have it in her to fight? Or is the fear of going through anything that resembles her childhood greater than her dream to finally find love? Love meets reality in this epic novel. *** "Excuse me, you seem lost in thought. Did you want to buy something or do I need to direct you home again?" "What?" She laughs, "It was a joke, Jeez. The last time you were in here you seemed like you had a sense of humor. Where'd that go?" "I have this neighbor who basically sucks the life and humor out of people. Unfortunately, I am a recent victim." "I know how that feels, trust me. I have one in my life too." "Anyway, what can I do for you Mr. ..." "Please call me Adrian." "Okay Adrian, what can I do for you today?" "Actually, I was passing by, and I thought I should say thank you for the other day." "That's nice, but you didn't have to. I didn't really do anything a human being wouldn't." "Hey, don't sell yourself short. You did a lot for me. If you didn't save my ass, I may have been a missing person by now, or worse that guy on the news they keep saying is nowhere to be found." "How can I argue when you mentioned the guy on the news. The news never lies, and I'm sure you don't either. You're right, I should be thanked for saving a life." "Not just A life, but many lives. Think of my poor mother and my friends and family. How would they live without me, huh?" "You're right, I saved a generation that day." We're both laughing very hard and it feels just right. Talking to her was easy.Complete
