Oh that was so sad! Excellent writing and I look forward to more soon. Can't wait to see where you are taking this. How often will you be posting? Hope we are going to work towards a happy ending after all the angst.

Cheers

Wow beautiful and so sad. Although this does sound like Clark's lunkhead move of breaking up with Lois for her own good. Of course they should both be hit over the head. As hard as this is for them not talking about it is so much worse.

Clark, you idiot!

Ah well, he's always been more noble than bright. It is wrenching, but utterly believable to see these two characters "suffering in silence," letting themselves be driven apart by what is missing in their lives. Unable to find the contentment they once knew in each other. With luck, Clark grew somewhat wiser in the intervening seven years and won't let this idiotic plan of his fester and develop for too long.

Great first post.

first - you're back!
now, this is going to get better, right? angst is one thing, sad is another, and i think i'll go cry now too. still looking forward to more!

woh! what?!?!? craziness.... clark, clark, clark what are you thinking?? <sigh> anxiously awaiting how they get out of this one... loved the 1st chapter

AAAAAAAAAAAASUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

LOVED the part about Martha as a mom, always able to anticipate when her son needs her.

But then Clark had to go and be the world's biggest lunkhead!!!

You MUST follow a quick posting schedule so we can get to a happy ending.

LOL

But, seriously, thank you - I'm one of those who has difficulty with high angst, too, so I really appreciate the warning.

So now I'm curious - a BAMR but no Tank ending warning. ummmm

c.

What a heart-wrenching set-up. I love you're writing. This is really a great beginning for another wonderful story. I do hope for a happy ending, though

Ahh, that was so sad

Hopefully Lois won't accept the divorce or maybe she will get the papers in the mail unexpectedly ...

Hopefully it will end well, right?

More soon please!

Thanks for the FDK

Elizabeth

The plan is to post somewhere between daily and EOD.

Yes, it is sad. Thanks for your comments, Elizabeth.

Kathy

Exactly. I'm borrowing heavily from that.

Thanks, Kathy.

Rac

Loved that comment.

Thanks Rac, I'm glad you found it believable.

Sarah

Yeah. To me, angst is people screaming at each other, but then Iolanthe kept commenting on how angsty this was, so I figured my definition was too narrow. Anyway, there's not a lot of anger and outright conflict type angst, but there's some emotional heartache.

Thanks, Sarah.

flowerpot Thanks. I loved your comment about wanting to see how they get out of this, because the fic is written.

cookiesmom Thanks. I thought that said a lot about Martha, seeing as she wasn't even Clark's biological mom, she had adapted to his needs really quickly.

ccmalo

No, no Tank ending - just some angst as we get to where we are going. Thanks for you FDK.

BTW - I thought the scale would be - None, Low, Moderate, High, Very High, Extreme, so on that scale, High isn't the worst by a long way.

bakasi Thanks! You're right about it being a sad set-up ... but that gives me another 14 parts to fix it!

DW Papers in the mail! Ouch! I didn't think of that.

Thanks for leaving FDK.


Thanks everyone!

Corrina.

Michael

Thanks Michael. The BAMR was supposed to apply to the entire fic, not just the first part!

Thanks for your comments.

Corrina,

My first reaction when I saw this was: !!!


I am a sucker for pitiful, heartbroken, obsessing Clark, putting Lois's happiness above all else. Yeah, he's a lunkhead, and yeah, he needs to be hit over the head with a 2 x 4, but gosh my heart just goes out to the big guy. Always did.

I love how you are able to tell us so much with this one little sentence.

Wow. That has got to be devastating. <shakes head> Poor, poor Clark. I have a feeling I'll be saying poor, poor Lois soon. Off to read (I presume) her side of the story in Part 2......

Oh no! This is so sad! I can feel their pain...
