fics: Far From Now, Somewhere, and Gladly Beyond
Okay. So. Blitzing. Sort of.
Far From Now, posted last week here, final version. Chloe/Clark. Very strange.
Somewhere I Have Never Traveled. Should be final version. Will be uploading to the SSA tomorrow. I was going to do everything tonight, but--wow, Somewhere is rather large. And fought me. Some changes, some consistency errors fixed, some spelling errors fixed, some continuity stuff adjusted. Frankly, if this is still readable, consider it a miracle and a testament to Ann's patience, and if it's not, that's because I lost the ability to edit it any further. I just couldn't manage it.
Gladly Beyond. Yes, and this is how it happened. I said in February, I'm bored! Beth, being unsympathetic, says, oh, you'll be writing a new novel by tomorrow. The scary thing is, she was right.
Anyway.
Pru, Caro, MHC, Bethy, Pearl-o, and everyone else who did the prereads, thank you. Ann and RivkaT, thanks for the beta help.
Now, to think of something that has nothing to do with this. Except Rising. Because Lex is getting fixed whether he's on board with it or not.
Per usual, feedback is adored, because, well, I'm just weird like that. *g*

Somewhere... and Gladly...
(Anonymous) 2003-05-06 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)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.

Well, that's--*grins*--pretty much everything I wanted to do with the stories. Wow. I just--thank you. Which is really inadequate for what you said, but thank you SO much. *hugs*
