SV Fic: Starry Night
I'm sure there are a zillion fics out there with this title, I just thought it fit Chloom given Van Gogh's subject matter.
That's right folks, Chloom wormed it's way into my brain. This is just a beginning, but since we'll have the PS3 version in little more than a week, I wanted to get this out of my head before TPTB ruin the pairing. Some ( Read more... )

I think you broke me heart several times. I'll leave a more coherent comment when my brain is no longer broken.

It's lovely and gorgeous and I love your Chloe so much. Your Clark is the Clark I've been feeling lately, the Clark that does everything wrong. And Davis is something hard to dislike here, even if one knows he's a killer, even if one knows he kills Superman in the future. It's creepy how human and likable you make Davis.

I'm glad Davis was relatable. SW seems like a really talented actor, so if the writers don't butcher the character too badly, Doomsday could be awesome onscreen.

I think it was because their first meeting was so strange that it made it that much more intriguing. I admit, it was creepy having her wake up in his apartment but the way he’s awed and says it was a miracle seemed so genuine. I could understand when she didn’t automatically pull away when he touched her cheek.
…. So many of her previous attempts at love have been borne of a need to show Clark that he doesn’t define her.
This time, she wants to prove it to herself.
I really loved this part. It perfectly put into words her relationship failures and made sense (and justified) why she wanted to keep her relationship with Davis to herself.
“No, but whoever this is seems to be even more dangerous.
This short conversation with Victor was really heartbreaking. I don’t know if it was meant to but it was very, very depressing. Chloe’s only beginning to put herself back together and this reminder builds up that horrible feeling of how the end of it is going to tear her apart.

I'm glad you felt the way you did about the Watchtower conversation with Victor, because that's so what it's about. We're building her up for a fall she might not be able to handle with all the rest.
Be bratty all you like. I like Chlollie in fic, and I want to be infected because that just seems like a happier partnership and Chloe deserves happy and heroic.
I just have this mental block on it because I haven't seen enough screentime with the two to synthesize their characters' interactions on more than a sarcastic, professional level. I'm really hoping the next season will correct that. It's one of the few reasons I have to watch.
Thanks for reading and commenting!

There were so many things I loved about this fic.
Later, when Clark asks why the Daily Planet basement is abuzz with rumors of an angelic intervention near her new apartment, she’s strangely reluctant to share. It doesn’t make sense, but somehow the intimacy of that one moment feels like a betrayal.
I really liked this line because it feels like a turning point. Not just because she chooses to not share this with Clark, but because it feels like it's the first time she's choosing to claim something for just herself.
She loves that he took all that pain and loneliness, and turned it into something beautiful.
This I love because isn't that the best description for Chloe too?
He’s looking at her with pleading eyes, and for the first time, they remind her of someone else.
And this is my favorite as well, I just love the turnabout. It's fitting and I almost sighed ( ... )
