Re: Fanfic entries from the Adult Themed challenge
Lexie: Wow!!! That title is completely spot on!!! Really love how you describe Chloe and her feelings as she dressed in front of the mirror.
Sinecure: Excellent!! I won't lie it took me a couple of reads to not be confused. But each read just kept adding more depth and I enjoyed more for it!!!
Fantastic job, ladies!!!!!!:worship::worship:

TITLE: Yearning (NS Monthly Adult Themes Challenge- #1 January 2010 “Hunger”)
This was a great ficlet, Lexie. I really liked how it started with the reader’s being introduced to Chloe’s yearning to be desired and wanted above all things... if not actually loved. It was such a shame to see her willing to settle for so little, and not even get that?! Heartbreaking... and such a waste as well!
Aren't Chloe and Lex so similar after all? Wanting what they cannot have? Believing themselves to be undeserving out of experience? Yearning to be loved? And always settling for the scraps they can get?

I could sense her bewilderment and frustration over this.
This image was the one that popped to my mind when I was thinking about what I could write for this challenge, so it's the crux of the fic- Chloe's awakening. The starting point that leads Chloe to finally "see" herself and decide she can no longer settle.

It was delightful fun to see Lex prepping himself up for this ‘date’ as if he was a school-boy again, trying to muster up the courage to ask the prettiest girl in school to dance with him. Only, schoolboys never try to get that extra spot of courage through bourbon, do they? Rarely! LOL!
For all his coolness and poise I've always imagined Lex this way when strategising to get the one woman that really means something to him. A schoolboy might have had an extra glass of spiked punch, perhaps?

It’s damned good to see Chloe come into her own!
I'm so tired of seeing Chloe being kept on the fringes on the show while the other ladies are shown as the Goddesses that all breathing men are expected to lust after. Why should she only get the attention of men who end up being murdering monsters on their first date? I simply wanted to make sure the male population of SV and Metropolis didn't come across as fools in the presence of a gorgeous and intelligent woman such as her.And why have her constantly doubt about her own sensuality and her power to get the attention of an attractive man who'll know how to treat her and make her feel like a real woman?

Excellent!
Well, their enmity had to be mentioned, considering it's a post-Season 7 ficlet. It would have been utterly unrealistic not to do it. And by mentioning her internal struggle and her desperation to find a justification for what she's about to do, their attraction acquires a deeper significance. There's definitely more than lust in here, don't you think?

Oh, I'm a sucker for happy endings! Or, at least, for open doors and windows that give us hope.
Thanks for your warm words, somethingeasy. I really appreciate them.

Lex is what we all expect: coming back in style, making sure he has his path clear. In this case, sure looks like he wants the real thing with Chloe. They make each other feel alive. I wish Lex had this clear mind in the show. If they’re ever bringing him back… ::/:
Oh, how I wished they gave Chloe that chance on the show! I have such a grim foreboding about her destiny on SV. I hope so much she won't end up making the ultimate sacrifice for Clark. What else is there for her to offer at his altar?
I prey they let Lex's character be- we can do much better things for him than they ever will, don't you agree?

Thanks, Rocío. "Yearning" is such a suggestive word, isn't it? It's the noun (or adjective) I've always associated with two characters as passionate and classy as Chloe and Lex.

love it love it love it!!!!!!!
Re: Fanfic entries from the Adult Themed challenge
Both excellent fics, great job! Brilliant choice to not put it to vote Julie, I don't think I could choose a favourite of the two, they're both very different but equally enjoyable.

It should be on the left side, on the bottom of the post (where the edit post, reply, reply with quote links are on the right side). You can only give so many thanks per day, so if you've thank-ed out, you won't see it ;) Let me know if you still don't see it, and I'll take a look :)
