Hi. Yes, it's been YEARS between your comment and this reply, sorry :p
Thanks for the recs and the tips. ITA about Lex only being fragile when he's alone or drugged, that's what I meant really. That and fragility coming through in his inner monologue. In the presence of others he'd appear strong no matter what. Like you I don't mean to make mush out of the guy! That's why I absolutely love seeing/reading him being/thinking/acting emotional, BECAUSE it is so rare for Lex. Hence my struggle, because I know if I KEEP writing him like that he will turn to mush and the fragility will lose it's effect. Going back to his stronger moments like you suggest (him working with Nixon etc) is a good way to combat that though, so thanks.
And it's sweet of you to bookmark my WIP! I guess I hav come across as kinda begging to be read :p Don't feel obligated to read or anything, I really know how hard it is to find time for that kind of thing (witness my late late reply!)
