Wow. Can't wait to see how this ends!!!

Wonderful work. Their pain is so heartbreaking...

[saavikam77]

Aw, thanks! :) I'm gonna try to have the second part finished by tonight.

A great first Clex story, Saavi! :)

I believe that there's blame to go around for both of them (Clark had a right to his Secret but he misread Lex at times) so I like to see stories where both the boys try and heal things. And this looks like a great start! Wonderful Lexian POV. :)

Glad you picked up this prompt and pairing for the Challenge. ;)

Thanks so much, sweetie! :D

And yes, absolutely! It strikes me as a classic case of disproportionate responses and escalation of hostilities.

I had fun writing from Lex's perspective. A far cry from my Aftermath (SR) Lex, for sure! :p

I'll put your entry into the Master List soon. Would you prefer I wait until the second part is posted?

Agree 100%!

Very! :)

SV Lex is wonderfully complex. I'm afraid I don't find much fascination with movie Lex. He's so one-note (sometimes cartoonish), though I have to say that the scene in which Clark is beaten in SR is powerful. Such hatred there! I'm doubtful that SV Lex could ever have done that.

[saavikam77]

I guess you can wait till I post the second half. :) If not tonight, I'll have it up tomorrow for sure.

It does strike me that SV and SR Lex are 2 totally different characters. I like SR Lex for his absolute fanaticism and his approach to their 'rivalry' as if it's all some giant game of chess among the gods. He's a megalomaniac of the worst kind. But I love the subtleties of SV Lex, too. He's much more in-tune with the comics Lex, IMO.

And no, I can't see SV Lex *ever* beating Clark like that, either. That's pure hatred. O_o

Great start!

I'm looking forward to reading the rest.

[saavikam77]

Thanks so much! :D

I can't wait for the rest, this is fantastic!

[saavikam77]

Thanks! :)

Nice. Future fics with coating of comic cannon are my favorite.

[saavikam77]

Thanks! :) I have a weakness for blending canons. :p
