This was yet another amazing chapter in this story. I don't know how you've managed to actually turn these episodes into something bearable but you do it beautifully. It makes me so sad for what I actually wasted time watching when all of this could have happened instead.
Poor, poor Lex. He always thinks that he's weak when it comes to things that could really make him strong. Even if you took away all of the things in Lex's life that hurt him, he'd still have so much pain because he just keeps making choices that are the opposite of what will make him happy.He was beginning to see things clearly. It started last week, after he'd nearly died. They always say near-death experiences can change a man. And how had he changed? He'd become weak. Rather than dig into the memories that were being unleashed, he'd let everything go. Spent a weekend wrapped up in her. It was her. She made him weak. She made him sloppy.
I'm so excited by this story because you consistently take crap and find out how it could work. And while many fanfic writers do that to a certain extent, you take it all the way because you've kept to the source material for so long. Although, admittedly, I look forward to when you're finally free of that burden.
I just adore this story and I can't wait to read more. I love seeing Chloe and Lex clearly feel so deeply for each other but being so trapped in the choices that they've made. It's sad to see two people so consumed by these things in their life that it's almost unimaginable to them that they could really be together.
Here's hoping you prove them wrong.
