YESYESYES!!! I LOVED every single word of this gem, beginning to end. I had my issues with Luthor too, but hey, if we get awesome fic from Mags to fill in the gaps, makes the randomness of the episode totally worth it

[ladygawain]

Aw, thank you, love!!!!!

Gahhhh, our Clark, that scene tore my heart in two tbh, I couldn't decide (when watching) whether to be really angry with our Clark or what, her face killlllllls me in that moment!

Yes, yes! That scene was so sordid to write and just sad. He's such a dick, he has feelings for her but he's such a broken, ruined person and the whole relationship is just a broken, horrible thing for both of them but especially for her. I'm glad that got across. And basically it fulfilled my kink for generally fucked up lives because I'm a naturally cynical person for about half the year, and think most lives are pretty fucked up in general, it was nice to write this :). I am a sick person, lol

Thank you for your feedback!!!

I've read all your stories and I love your writing so I was really happy to see a "Luthor" fic from you. It was brilliant and very well written.

Thank you so much, it means so much to me that you liked this one :)

Wow. I love the format & the way you narrated it. I also love idea of the story. Clois is clois. There's always a pull between them. Even if Clark is evil. He didn't want to need her but he did. Same goes with Lois.
It's beautiful Maggie.. even if it's dark. The ending is heart-breaking but omg good!

[ladygawain]

Thank you, Lia!!!

Yes, that's it, there's always a pull, I think --- even if it's totally messed up.

Gah, they hurt my heart these two, to see them like this :( - THANK YOU so much for your feedback!

I don't even...wahhhh!

But I loved it!

I really loved how you described AULois' meeting with RWClark and it's effect on her.

And that last part, I think that's what I saw with AULois so much. This weariness, this settling, and it would be enough because it was what it was. Durance really nailed that.

Fantastic as always Maggs!

Aw, thank you muchly!!! It is wahhh-inducing, lol. AU Lois and AU Oliver kind of broke my heart because they seemed so clearly to not be right for each other --- I mean, I'm sure they'd be 'fine' together but they just don't fit at all and I feel like Hartley nailed that constant insecurity and Durance got the sense of it just not being enough or right. Too much sadness.

Thank yous!!!

[ladygawain]

Thank you!

I think writing this story made me like Luthor a WHOLE lot more, I just needed to work through it a little lol. LOL, I'm a crazy one so I found the pseudo-incestuous relations really fascinating and scary and yucky and disturbing; and I think there's a whole backstory to come up with where it would make total sense that those two would gravitate to each other because of that awful Luthor situation and the kind of family it was. But I still am annoyed the show didn't have time to make the Clois angle more complicated --- felt like the agenda was all about playing out Cless, which is fine, but seemed fan-servicey.

I'm glad you liked this :) your wonderful feedback is always of the good :)
