I like the darker stories, and especially when the writer is able to correct the situation or find a happy ending, it's very entertaining for me.
LabRat, do you mind if I post a story idea here, before I forget?
It's a premise I haven't seen in fanfic. What if Lara was able to come to Earth with baby Kal-El. They landed in Smallville, the Kents found the both of them, and took them in. They were kinda wary about them at first. A couple days pass, and Lara begins to discover some powers. In time they reach full strength, and she wants to help. She leaves Kal-El in the Kents care and goes to help. Over the years she visits them periodically. So baby Kal is still raised Clark, whoever wants to write it feel free. I don't think it's that good of an idea anyway, since, I'm pretty sure people have thought something along these lines.
