Thank you all for the kind words - and I'm very happy to hear that this qualifies as WAFFY. It felt a bit dark to me, but then maybe that's just 'cause Clark was in a bad place for most of this, so I needed to be a bit down to write his POV. I had hoped the happy ending would redeem it, though.
You all deserve much more detailed thanks than this, but I'm not feeling very well, so please forgive me. I do really appreciate the time you take to leave such detailed feedback.
