Touched, Part One (Strange and Beautiful sequel)

Aug 04, 2009 22:43

Well, I don't know how popular this is going to be, but here is the sequel for Strange and Beautiful. Several commented at the end of that one that I shouldn't leave Clark like that and that I should write a sequel. Well, I'm not one for actually liking to backtrack on ground I've already covered, so a sequel isn't something I'd ever thought I'd ( Read more... )

I'm so happy you finally posted this sequel! I haven't had the time to read it yet (time difference doesn't help) but I'm looking eagerly forward to it. I'll come back to comment when I'm done. Thanks so much for writing it!

You're very welcome.

I'm not sure it's what people wanted, but I thought that you were right and that Clark needed a happier ending. I hope this works for you.

You do a great job of capturing Lex's essential... cluelessness, for lack of a better term. He's so convinced that if he can just get Clark, everything will fall into place. It never occurs to him that he's destroying what he claims to love. In that way, he's very Lionel.

"It's perfect, Mr. Luthor, because now you understand that you can't play God with other men's lives without consequence."

Lex is such an armchair general. You can make brilliant strokes in chess, but in life? Doesn't always work.

Yeah, truly.

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting.

Oh my gosh. This is absolutely wonderful, and I'm so glad there's another part. *runs to read it* Hopefully, I'll be able say something more coherent than 'Oh my gosh' after reading the second part. Hee!

Oh, thanks!

I'm so glad you liked it.

This was awesome!
It was painful to see Clark acting like an obsessive automat. I'm glad Lex's plan backfired! He had to learn that he couldn't get whatever he wanted at any price.

It was about time for Bruce to rescue Clark. Maybe he shouldn't have caused him so much pain in doing so but it's clear that it helped Lex to realize how much he had hurt Clark in every sense.

I'm loving this story!

Oh Lex. If nothing else, I hope he learns to be careful what he wishes for in the future. He may have gotten Clark's body, but he definitely doesn't have the rest of him.

And to see Clark acting so dependent, is just sad. :(

dm_wyatt August 14 2009, 20:17:30 UTC

Yeah, he needed to learn that acting like you're in love isn't the same thing as being in love.

Part of Clark still loves Lex, and probably always will, but to force him into being something he wasn't meant a happy ending wasn't in the cards.

In a way, it's similar to Superman for Sale, except in that both men really did love each other and the magic only reinforced that.
