Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Unforgettable - 9/35

Chapter 9 is now available. This final chapter of Part 2 was one of the most difficult to write, as you can imagine if you’ve read it already . Scenes from it were some of the first I wrote when I started all of this (my writing is only linear in the loosest sense of the word…) before I even knew exactly how we’d get to this point. It was emotionally painful to write that last scene :sigh:. I had to do some pretending and lots of editing to get it right. I’ll admit I felt … … dirty after I finished it. I moaned and groaned about it for a bit, brushed my teeth and watched some quality season 2 episodes until it went away . (Yet one more piece of evidence that my Lex may be the most evil…Hmmm, completely unintentional and why hadn’t I realized it before?? ) It’s a necessary evil though, so don’t hold it against me forever.

Part 3 begins Sunday with another double chapter posting as those first two are fairly short. We’ll switch gears once more but I’m sure you’ll be pleased if you like what you’ve read so far Thank you all for the feedback!

Man this Lex is evil...
Another great chapter girl

I swear I didn't think I had such evilness lurking in me...

Thanks!

He really thinks his cold-shriveled-black heart can break for Lois, after deliberately taking everything - even her ability to choose - away from her.

This whole chapter is a brilliant illustration of why I think this Lex is so evil.

Wow.

This just keeps getting scarier as we go along. Your Lex Luthor is absolutely the most evil I've ever seen. He cares for no one but himself, and Lois is his unwilling and unwitting sex slave. This Lex is just - I can hardly wait for him to receive his just rewards.

Of course, it's not gonna happen soon, since you have 26 more chapters to post! Yikes. I hope I can sleep at night (or at least get my afternoon naps in).

Perhaps I had my Lex hat on a little too tight when I was writing this and didn't see the evilness so well because I was channeling his completely messed up perspective. I'm going to consider that a good thing at this point .

I think the worst thing of all, in his mind he doesn't even see it as wrong. he sees Lois as willing.

Well, tomorrow I will post two chapters . Should be very early in the morning as I have to be in meetings beginning at 7 am until 7 pm... It's also the start of Part 3! So, if nightmares from your reading wake you up, perhaps it will offer some relief.

I normally try pretty hard not to let ignorance on the internet bother me, but I've been thinking about this for days and I have to say something.

NO

Lex rewrote the part of her brain that knows that she loathes him. This does not make her willing, this makes her compliant.

Lois is no more willing than she would be if he'd gotten her drunk, given her rohypnol, or knocked her out and had his way with her unconscious body, and Lex is no less a rapist in this story than in any of those scenarios.

To say that "sadly, at this point, she was willing" at any point when she was acting under the influence of Lex's memory scrubbing is disgusting and offensive. "Willing" requires informed consent, which she is incapable of giving by the very nature of the plot of this story.

I've had this up for a day and a half trying to find the right words to respond. //looks up at previous poster// I've obviously been beaten to the punch here.

You wrote a twisted tale here and interesting plot but your comment here bothers me.

Unwilling means she is unable to give proper consent.

In order for Lois Lane to give consent, she has to be awarded the ability to consent.

- She's been unwittingly kidnapped
- Her memories removed
- New memories implanted to replace the real ones.

How exactly is she of sound mind and body to consent to anything?

Maybe you misunderstand what consent is.

Maybe you didn't realize by making such a comment you're also hinting to anyone who has fallen victim to an assault while under the influence or drugged had somehow consented to their attack.

Maybe you didn't realize the weight those words carried.

This comment feels like victim shaming. This comment is disrespectful to those that have fallen victim to or know someone who has fallen victim to sexual assault.

You wrote a tale where Lois Lane is being unwillingly and unwittingly raped by Lex Luthor. Own it. Don't excuse it by trying to blame the victim. Lex is the criminal here. Don't excuse his behavior. He has enough people doing that for him.

Holy Crap! I can't believe I didn't see what I was saying. My original comment was never intended to mean what it did. I see now that it totally does and I can't believe I was so stupid that I didn't see it. I really am very sorry. I realize I've offended just about everyone and I am very sorry.

It has been pointed out numerous times now. I apologize. But, of course, you all are right. I am absolutely certain that this oversight on my part is why I didn't see my Lex as the most evil Lex. Thinking about it now, I believe I was looking at it from Lex's point of view, which we've already established as horribly rotten (as would be anyone else in the same boat, several examples have been shared with me).

I really never made the comparison between what Lex did and real-life examples and was appalled when I finally saw the connection. In addition, I see now that my comment was even more inappropriate than I realized because the sick face was originally directed at the situation but the way I worded it looked like it was directed at Lois. I hope that I have rephrased my original comment better and that this comment no longer seems dismissive, especially when I was in agreement with the outrage.

When Lois and Clark find out what Lex has been done to them and those they love, he will. He will be begging to go back to prison.

Unforgettable indeed.
