>>folded up the note to tuck away in the box where he kept all of the other infrequent cards and letters he'd received from Clark over the years. If asked, he would deny any tendency to sentimentality, but discarding anything Clark gave him just wasn't possible for him>>
you know, it's stuff like this that makes it possible for you to blindside me with unexpected tears pricking at the corner of my eye and this wonderful choked up throat symptom i so enjoy. god; these TWO!!! and YOU!!!
>>so Lex had just tried to tolerate the constant ache that traveled from the base of his skull to behind his eyes>>
your brain chemistry has been subtly changed, m'boyo! somehow, methinks he won't mind the remedy so much.
LOVE that you got another 'we are connected' dream thing going in this one. i don't think it is possible to use that theme too much, because it's just too wonderful!
two things i've come to count on with you, much to my delight: incredibly hott! and inventive shower scenes, with or without shampooing, LOL...and shared (and occasionally prophetic, or at least poetically symbolic) dreams. what kills me is that you always manage to make BOTH scenarios different and unique in EVERY version!!! Your mind obviously has an endless capacity for variation. that is a rare gift, and you employ it well indeed. i really love how Lex THINKS he's drawn to check out the Arctic because of that research that fascinated him, when it's as much the dreams drawing him on...dreams secretly telling him where to find the one thing, the person he needs to be whole...because they are connected without knowing it. LOVE that you did it all so SUBTLY!!!
>>Lex had willingly paid that price to be Clark's friend>>
god, if only he had done so on the show; found somewhere in himself the strength to rise above... (i personally believe, and use it in my fic as a reason, that he subconsciously needs to have something OF Clark, since he believes he can't have Clark himself; and if it be the secret, the info, that's something he can hold in his hand. to touch Clark. to KEEP Clark. instead... it has the opposite effect. kind of like how Clark not telling Lex so Lex won't see him as a thing and he won't lose that imperative friendship ends up backfiring and making that friendship become exactly what he'd feared...
i hate irony.)
well, poot to the show, anyway. we all know what REALLY happens, right? AND IT'S RIGHT HERE, BABY!!!
>>Jor-El's stipulation that no one be told of Kal-El's origins, and that there be no use of his powers until after his training was complete, had been a difficult condition to accept three years ago. Nonetheless, Clark had accepted the terms gratefully. Clark had known those additional years living as a human would be vital>>
not to mention he could just be Clark and stop lying to Lex, avoid situations where he would have to lie at all, and therefore kept Lex as a friend, and i so love you for the amazing variety of alternatives you come up with in that fertile brain of yours!.
