*sighs* That was really, really beautiful. :)

[danceswithgary]

I love when a story just writes itself in an hour or two and it's even better when someone likes it. Thanks! *hugs*

You took my breath away with the beauty of this piece. The language was so evocative. I am so glad that Clark chose hope.

[danceswithgary]

Sometimes I'm lucky and the words are there waiting for me. Thanks!

It's really marvellous...you used so magical words...
each bloom of blue-purple welcomed by a hiss of thanks and a plea for more.....nothing mattered except the pressure that kept building at the base of your spine until wet heat washed your belly and his, until you couldn't tell where he started and you ended...only that you were....it takes my breath away....Thanks...

[danceswithgary]

I really enjoy writing pieces like this - glad you enjoyed. Thanks!

[phoenix-run.livejournal.com]

This was so sweet and deep, it kind of made me ache for Clark. Just beautiful.

[danceswithgary]

It's great when you wake up and the story and character are waiting for you to join them. Glad you enjoyed and thanks!

[lapetite-kiki.livejournal.com]

Aww, beautiful!

[danceswithgary]

Icons like yours are what inspire stories like this. :-D Thanks!

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

Beautiful imagery! Of course, Clark choosing to go back to Lex and hope, always helps. :D

[danceswithgary]

Always need the hope for those two. :-D Thanks!

[zephyr-macabee.livejournal.com]

By the middle I was afraid there would be no hopeful ending here, but as usual you pulled it off. Wonderful.

[danceswithgary]

With a little time to think, Clark made the right choice. :-D Thanks!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

oh *wow*! That was *beautiful*!
A sleepy question and an open palm call you closer, a muttered protest at your absence warming, evaporating the remnants of rain-cold doubts. You pull off clothes that carry mountain air, the damp of mile-high clouds, and you crawl inside the future praying he'll never taste the salt of your hesitation.

You choose hope.


Damn! I *love* that!

[danceswithgary]

There are times I feel as though I'm nothing but a conduit and the words take over. I'm glad you liked the result. Thanks! *hugs*

The story was plain incredible! And it's so sad I couldn't keep my thought on character you were actually writing about instead of thinking of my own... life situations. :( I'm so sorry. :( This story deserves better than this.

[danceswithgary]

That is actually a wonderful compliment, that the story touched you outside the context. Thanks!

[faelivrinn.livejournal.com]

He's the worst, has always sliced the deepest.
Very evocative, and true for both of them - at least how we see them :P

[...] you stand on a mountain, states east from your mistake, and face the whirlwind.
Again, very evocative imagery. It makes it easier to imagine Clark's internal battle, trying to sort out his thoughts and emotions, all the while knowing that this might be the biggest mistake of his life. I especially like states east from your mistake part.

This is a very beautiful and poignant story! I loved the fact that Clark knows what Lex has done, can't forget it, but loves him anyway. That he hesitates, but then makes the conscious decision to stay with Lex.

There were many more lines I liked, but I don't want to quote you your whole story :P The cover is also beautiful - I love Clark's expression, how he really seems to be staring at an oncoming hurricane. Great job!

[danceswithgary]

I'm always pleased when a story comes together like this and certain phrases resonant with someone. Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed it! :-D

[peach1250.livejournal.com]

Very nicely done.

And so much more real that what they show on the program.

[danceswithgary]

Ah, yes, the program. It's nothing but a jumping off point for me these days. I live in the land of permanent denial. :-D Thanks!

[nerowill.livejournal.com]

Nice! I love the panic and Clark's ability to overcome it.

[danceswithgary]

When he took a little time to think, the decision was inevitable. :-D Thanks!

[jakrar.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous imagery!

[danceswithgary]

Thanks! I'm always happy when one of these comes to visit my brain. :-D

[arianstarr.livejournal.com]

Awww...!! You know, I was sitting here reading this and it reminded me just how much I miss reading your stuff! Lovely, hon, really lovely.

[danceswithgary]

You just left me with such a nice warm fuzzy - thanks! :-D

[gawy-lavall.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! Stream of consciousness or raw feelings? Or simply the two of them. Soursweet but lovely piece, thanks!

[danceswithgary]

Thanks, I really loved this piece, just letting the words free to tell their story.
