This is for the time that I lost
the death of who I thought I was
the things in which I cannot believe
for fear I'll wear them on my sleeve
things I know that never will be returned
but I crossed that bridge before it burned

Hi

I just discovered this a few days ago and I wanted to drop a line to say I'm really enjoying it. I like the way you've slipped different minor characters in and Chloe is really cool.

The possibility that had just occurred to Alex was this: maybe Julian's father wasn't just so clueless that he was totally unaware of how his actions might affect his son. Maybe he did realize.

Maybe he just didn't *care*.

Awww, Alex. So sweet to care. And I like that it took so long for him to assume the worst about Lionel, because Alex's own family life is so good. :)

You know, I love that Julian continues to be clueless and Alex increasingly begins to understand things. It really does show, again, that there's a definitive gap in their ages and contrasts the ways in which each of them is overly mature or immature for their age.

Er, I have no idea if that makes sense. Basically Julian's way too sexually aware for his age, yet about the right level of emotionally clueless, while Alex is the right level of emotionally aware but sexually immature for his age. Better?

Anyway, it's my way of saying wow! There's all kinds of cool stuff going on here! *g*

Yay! Another part! I saw this mentioned in Jenn's journal the other day and thought I'd take a look. Read the entire thing in one day. I'm totally hooked. I can't wait for the next part. *grins* It's just so great, how different everything is. How Julian/Clark is the experienced one and Alex/Lex is the shy virgin. Chloe still living in Met and Lana having the crush on the Kent boy. *laughs* It's so wonderful! Please, keep at it.
