Thanks so much to Jenn (and her betas etc) for all the work that must have gone into this project. I read Somewhere.... daily when it was being written and I loved it and was suitably awed by the skill involved, but reading it now at one sitting (well I ate occasionally) the story came into sharper focus for me as the study of a layered yet entirely cohesive relationship that started on the day at the bridge and just never stopped. In fact, my fave bit changed from the first sex (gasp! I'm shallow!) to the 'confrontation' after Lex's training session. So much of the Past between Clark/Superman and Lex/Luthor was conveyed through that (short) scene and it gave a depth to their interaction that was very poignant. Plus, super-intense Lex just turns me on! Guh!
Not only this, but Gladly... too? Wow! Another amazing story because their domesticity is anything but mundane and as always I love the way your Clark gives just a little, like I wish he would on the show, purely out of love. Extensive continuity is such a treat(yes TPTB it's an asset!) For instance, previously Clark says Lex makes him 'want to compromise' and in fact they're the only people who could do that for each other as you show. Perfect! I adored this, even though it left me with a feeling of yearning for more, because Clark is going to have to share Lex to an unprecedented degree during the presidency and I'm worried he will feel neglected... See, you've sucked me right into that world! Thanks so much. Starflower.
Somewhere... and Gladly...
