Oh, this is simply lovely. I love Clark's reminiscing about how the town and people remind him of Smallville, even when things are so different in other ways. He's searching for his own answers, for who he is, but Smallville is always a part of who he is, too.

And then the parallel with Bruce also on his quest for answers ad the foreshadowing and potential for a future in the last paragraph. *sigh* Lovely!

Thank you! This story was a long time in the writing and then sat around for awhile until I had time to polish it up, but the ending was always in my mind. It was just the journey getting there that took awhile! ;)

Glad you enjoyed it. Once it started to flow I enjoyed it, too. :)

Oh, I really liked this! Both Clark and Bruce seem so lost... I can't wait until they find each other! *hints* :)

Oh, and Clark's sections made me miss the sea a lot too...

Thank you for sharing, Brady! :)

Thanks, Star! :)

The seaside scenes are from my vacations in Maine over the years. ;)

I really like the mirror image of them looking up at the sky and feeling lost and alone! Such a nice little moment--and I could see Clark's surroundings so clearly, I could practically hear the seagulls and the waves. :)

Thanks, Mithen! :)

Mirror image works well with these two. ;)

I'm glad the seaside sounds worked for you! The Maine shore is beautiful at any time of year. :)

Oooh, lovely! How did I miss this the first time 'round? Anyways, I really enjoyed this slice of everyday life, Maine fisherman version. You have such a talent with these types of stories - I can practically taste the salt in the air.

Yet even amidst the beauty and camaraderie, there's the loneliness. Hold on, Clark - Bruce is out there too.

Shame on you for missing this! ;)

Thank you! I love setting the scene, especially in places I know well. :)

Poor Clark just seemed like the loneliest man on earth in this movie. Bruce is always lonely! Together they can fix that. :)
