Chlark Fanfic: Crisis, Chapter 39

May 04, 2013 01:59

Back again with some more Crisis! In which there is some unlikely progress with Chloe and Clark’s strained relationship.

I should also let you know that we’re now one chapter away from the end of the first half of the story (~gasp!~); all things being equal, I hope to get Chapter 40 posted within the next couple of weeks.

Enjoy! :-)

Alright, the Chlark are slowly becoming friends again, looking out for each other and relying on each other to always tell the truth.

This is truly lovely :)

Been a helluva journey, hasn't it? :-)

Still a ways to go before things really improve, but it's an excellent start!

Great advice, Chloe. Clark definitely needs to learn to stretch the boundaries, not to mention getting a better handle on what is and isn't his fault. Great to hear them talking with each other again!

Been a tough road, but we're finally making progress!

Many thanks for your lovely comments, Jen! :-)

Thank you for new chapter. I guess Chloe will be good to Clark, i mean he will had someone to talk to, ow Chloe knows everything about him...

Great observation there, Maddie! Glad you like. :-)

I loved Clark and Chloe's talk and am in complete agreement with Chloe's observations regarding Clark. Although the decision to put on the RedK was impulsive and dangerous, overall Clark's sense of guilt is kind of scary and (in my opinion) misplaced. I always thought Clark was a bit of a pushover when it came to his parents (well, to Jonathan, mostly). He disagreed with him often enough when Jonathan was being unreasonable, but always in such a meek way that it was never truly satisfying. The only few times I remember Clark standing up to his father (RedK episodes don't count) is in "Hothead" when Clark plays football in spite of Jonathan's objections, and in "Reaper" when Clark yells that the only reason he goes on an annual fishing trip with Jonathan is because he wants to please him, not because he enjoys it. Oh, and in "Shattered" when Clark defies his parents by choosing to support Lex. Maybe there are some other instances I don't recall, but most of the time Clark is so meek with his parents... Not just being a good son, but a ( ... )

Oh yes, and very often, too. Clark would always find obscure, round-about ways to somehow make every possible mis-hap in Smallville '..his fault.' I felt sorry for him at first, but it became tedious after a while, and eye-rollingly annoying shortly after that. :-)

One of the most idiotic examples was,in my opinion, Clark's declaration that it was his fault that Davis got a crappy childhood and turned into a monster. At that point I no longer found Clark's tendency to blame himself for everything endearing... it didn't even seem like a martyr complex. It was so ridiculous that it kind of reeked of attention-seeking.

Of course,there were things he *should* have blamed himself for but he never did...

I don't know which writer came up with that one, but they should never have gotten paid for that drivel. I mean, come on. Really?!? The only thing that did was make Clark completely unlikeable for me. And to cap it all off, Clark learned absolutely nothing from the whole Doomsday debacle. He's just had one Kryptonian monster nearly destroy the earth, and what does he go and do? Become bestest buddies with Zod in the hope of 'saving' him - which is, coincidentally, exactly what Chloe tried to do with Davis, only she at least had the excuse of having a calming effect on him. But Clark, oh no! Not only does he ostracise Chloe, he turns around and does exactly what she did, ( ... )
