Hmmm maybe its time to read Terry's work?
I second Mozartmaid's recommendation. Shayne's work is outstanding.
I think all of his work is great, but his elseworld's and alt-stories are some of my favorites. Bellarose already mentioned Strong, which is excellent, but he has a lot of great stories on the archives. Give yourself some time before starting his longer stories -- you won't want to stop reading once you begin.
Duet is a fascinating elseworld
Fugue and
Fugue II: Fusion is an awesome Alt-Clark tale.
Family Hour A fabulous 'what if'
Single White Kryptonian is an interesting alt-beginning
And then there are his shorter gems, that usually leave me laughing, crying, or with a WaFFy glow, like:
Orphan Dreams /lip wibbles
Control or
Gossip There are a lot more. And before I end up giving the individual URLs to all of his stories, I should probably just link to his section of the archive.
Shayne Terry .
Go. Read. Enjoy!
