I was already loving it in a bad way, indulging in the angst and her ability to turn her back on everything... then BAM. The real hook - she wasn't just giving up on this fight, she was moving on to a different type of fight. One that wouldn't fit within the constricts of her current life, and for that miracle inside her she was willing to sacrifice everything that had come before...
Gah! Thank you for this. I feel like I have to go shake off the bittersweet ache currently clouding my soul now...
I thought the ending might be up your alley after you got me with that jealous Ollie and Connor fic.
It was a one shot, but it is still kind of sticking with me. I went to bed and was trying to figure out how she would actually convince herself months later that it was still okay to stay away or if she would have go back and confront Oliver and Clark. And of course their reactions directly after her disappearance.
First, you shocked me in the beginning with her killing Tess. Didn't see that coming at all.
Second, her being pregnant, surprised the hell out of me.
And three, I was crying. A lot of what you wrote I think it close to home for Chloe. Her being the one that could cross the line, her being tired of fighting the good fight, and what you wrote about Jimmy, about how he hadn't known all of her, but somehow managed to give her the best gift suited for her needs.
It's screaming for a sequel. And you thought my endings were evil...
I'm glad what I wrote actually made an impact. :) I really like the pregnant part, I was glad I thought of it, it was fun to throw in at the end. If you go back and reread it there are a couple of things she says through the fic that hint to it. Like her being nauseated earlier that day, and about taking some of Oliver's money and she figured he owed her that much.
I'm considering trying to write something else to go with it. Not sure what yet. Got to much other stuff that needs to be completed, which you know all about.
Wow!This is one of the best ever! I couldn't help, but cry at all Chloe's lost or sacrifieced. Honestly I was shocked when she killed Tess, but you gave a more than understandable reason for that. Chloe always did everything to protect the ones she loved ... that some people (meaning CK!!) can't see that, or won't see that anymore is a different thing. I loved the ending! I know it is meant as a stand alone, but it screams for a sequel. Although I'm not sure yet I want Oliver to know (I assume it's his, right?), but then ... Ahhh I don't know.
Thanks! I'm glad you think it's THAT good. And I'm glad it touched you.
You know I don't know why I wanted to have her kill Tess. While I wanted to redeem her somewhat, show why she made the decisions she had made, and give her a new reason for living life, I also wanted her to cross another line, showing that she was still permanently changed, a different person, and that she was already at the point of no return where she would do what she had to do.
I'm going to be honest I'm not so sure I like this piece. Its well written as always but just the tone of it feels like giving up. Even though she is giving up one life for a better one for her child, it just the tone . I understand that Conspiracy left a weird taste in people's mouths especially regarding Chloe and her darkness and maybe that is why I feel this way. I hope you appreciate my honesty, like I said its a well written and good story great job as usual.
It was written in slight irritation, but I guess I was going along with the flow of the Chloe we saw in Conspiracy. I pretty much figured not everyone would appreciate it, but everyone was so annoyed with the fact she appeared to cold and bitchy I guess in Conspiracy I guess I just wanted to write her saying to hell with it, she was going to do it anyway while also trying to give her a bit of redemption by admitting she may not have be right the whole time and admitting to apologizing the Clark. Then the pregnancy part, I don't know where that came from, I think I just wanted to give her a reason for crossing the line and give her a valid reason for walking away. Plus, I've always been intrigued by the idea of her leaving and hiding if she realized she was pregnant with Oliver's baby
( ... )
I'm not very good at writing the shocking fics, but I think I might have gotten this one right with her shooting Tess and being pregnant.
The Oliver thing was the only thing that bothered me. While the fic was about Chloe and I didn't want to include Oliver in it to much, I couldn't help but think later that she was leaving so suddenly she probably wasn't thinking past the present. Once she got settled and it sunk in that she was gone I kept thinking what she would start thinking about keeping the baby from Oliver.

Definitely a good way to let Chloe go away from the SV verse but not to give her closure, she needs to let Oliver know about his son.(sequel please!!)
Hope the writers could read this and have an idea about Chloe´s good bye of the show if AM is not returning for next season (if SV has a tenth one)
