Argh that ending still kills me!

I always want a "happy ending" for Clois but this isn't really CLois is it, it's the dark twisted version, one that makes you ache with the promise of them. I do love the dirty wrongness of Clark Luthor and I think his angel face masking the devil would be hard to resist even for the strongest of women.

[ladygawain]

It's the most depressing Clois I've ever written lol, I feel like I need an overdose of fluff to make up for it LOL.

Clark Luthor is intense, intense and psycho and hot and how do you say no to that, especially if he wasn't totally 'evil' when you meet him and there was some hope? It'd kill the strongest of women.

Damn, sometimes dark, twisted stuff is fun! Thank you for encouraging me, twin, could not do it w/o you :)

Wow...

That was so sad :( but it was an awesome story Maggs! You weren't kidding when you said it would be a dark fic.

Re: Wow...

[ladygawain]

Thank you so much, Sazi. Yeah, it's so dark, never written them so dark before, it's weird. The last bit makes me so sad :(

Thank you for the feedback always :)

As usual, you are totally fabulous.

I have to admit that I'm kind of burned out on the whole Clark Luthor thing. I know I should find it hot because everyone else seems to...but I just feel...blah about it. I feel like it's been forever since I read a really good fic where Clark was being his intensely wonderful, sexy, confident self. I'm sort of longing for some fic with the two of them living together or one of your brilliant post-marriage fics.

But you are always wonderful and brilliant and fabulous. That goes without saying.

But my heart is aching for my Clark right now in a fic. There has been a criminally low level of fic written about him lately.

[ladygawain]

Thank you very much! :)

It's WAY dark for me for Clois, I feel like I need something light and hopeful to cleanse my palette i.e.... I agree with you very much. There is SO much amazing material to play with this season with Clark, so much Offscreenville to write about him - and Lois. I need to get on that. My SV muse fled me for a long while with all this Misfits brouhaha; I don't even know how I finished this one since it was supposed to be done before Luthor even aired (and that episode irritated me even more... but I won't go there).

Yup, I need Clark-Clark fic badly; particularly engagement fic, but I will take anything. Something for Christmas. Sigh.

[audrey229]

It's not even that I need it to be all "light" or something. The tone of most of your Clois married fics is my favorite kind of story. The sex is intense but the love is clearly present. And Clark is Clark.

I'm sorry but I just can't get on board with Clark Luthor. The entire episode just left a sour taste in my mouth. I would rather read 1000 stories about my Clark Kent than even 1 about Clark Luthor. I just can't get on board that train. Enough with that though. I loved Friday's episode. I'm putting Luthor behind me.

[ladygawain]

Aw, I feel like I'm corrupting you --- thank you so much for reading it :)

Thank you! The angst-machine was in overdrive for this like whoa! Not even sure where it came from, lol. And yes, I need enough Clois fluff to put me in insulin shock with RW Clark because, oy, Clark Luthor is one scary mofo.

[celticbabe2002]

That was wow. It was Clois and yet not Clois. Very well written and was able to fill in what could have actually happened. I really loved it and the bit when she realised that she loved him totally got me. Won't lie, slightly teary!

[ladygawain]

Thank you, exactly that, it was them --- I feel like they'd be drawn to each other in any universe --- but it wasn't, makes me sad to think of it.

Thank you so much, that bit makes me cry too, and when she describes how she's going to just go back to her routine and live that life, ugh, to be so miserable. I can't.

Thank you for your feedback, bb :)

[celticbabe2002]

Agreed Maggie. I still can't wrap my head around the fact there was no nod to a possible coulda/woulda/shoulda in the AU.
