i just got done reading chapter 15, and there was something specific about this chapter that i wanted to comment on before i got to the end of your updates and forgot.
i absolutely loved when chloe and her internal thoughts were blaming clark. i loved it because it's so true when you get right down to it.
and i also love, so far, that lex is the one falling for chloe, even if he doesn't realize it yet.
i don't know how you do it. you have just completely amazed me with this incredible fic. it takes a lot....A LOT... for me to say that
1. because I have reverted to only reading authors that I know whos writing style i like
and
2. being an author myself i get the whole low self confidence level that comes with churning out another update on command.
for those of you who don't write, it's not as easy as it seems. a lot of hard work and not only physical time but also very deep emotions comes into play when writing a fic. these character may not *belong* to the authors but sometimes it's even harder that way. it's time consuming, and when you get into a fic as emotional as this, it's very tiresome on your psyche.
this fic is just...it's just blowing me away. i started reading it last night a little after midnight and got to chapter 15 before i had to just go to bed if i didn't want my head to his the keyboard. this morning i read the rest of it...and i don't normally read fics that are WIPs. If I see something interesting, i'll wait for it to be done.
your summary alone and the fact that i've stayed away from angst for the past year is probably what drew me in, but after the dynamics of the first chapter i just couldn't look away.
the characters, no matter AU, are so real and each word that comes out of their mouth is completely beleivable. the plot line...awesome.
i am in awe of your writing skills, the story itself, the development of characters, and the intriguing look inside each person. their internal thoughts are just as good as your conversational techniques.
all right, now that i've left the longest feedback post of my entire life, i'll just say that i really love the story, and will definitely look for more in the future!
