Thank you so much, Sabrina I really wasn't sure if this story was going to work out. Building up all the evil tension and then smashing it with the gag that it was all such a simple and ridiculous thing sounded like an awesome idea in my head, but I had no idea if I could pull it off on the page. Seems I managed it though
I think there is still a real danger that if Lex became a loving husband and father he would still forever be trying to remain a good person, because he's still going to want everything, albeit for Chloe and their offspring rather than just for himself. I'm glad I made him loving enough as well as competitive; that was important to me. As was showing that Chloe was equally determined and not to be messed with when it came to her family. I mean sure, Clark Kent most likely wouldn't cheat at such an event, but against Lex, you don't think he might just be tempted? I certainly think he might, and I think that would occur to Chloe too.
Really grateful for the feedback - always wonderful to have your opinions and praise
