Feedback thread for 'Her Own Path,' all chapters. This is eight chapters long, and will be posted one chapter a day.

Summary: Olivia, the only child of Lois and Clark, forges her own path.

Chapter 1 is here

Gahh! At first, I was like…oh bummer, it’s a short part…but ahhhhh happy and sad and wistful FEELS alike all packed in there! I loved the little retrospective on how Olivia came to be. I’ve got all the feels going on now! Looking forward to more!

Sara

Awww, little baby :3 I smirked when I read Clark's reaction. He would do that, and poor Dr. Klein. Glad it all worked out though.
Looking forward to more.

Chapter 2 - Normal is here.

Enjoyed seeing this next stage in their life and how concerned Lois is with it all.

Can't wait to see how the reveal goes!

Makes sense that Lois would fret about things as Olivia grows up! I do wonder if Olivia has any questions about having to go to the doctor twice…seeing this specialist “Dr. Klein” and then her pediatrician too. I imagine she might see it as her mom being too overprotective or something!

And now… waiting for the drama to drop… looking forward to what happens next!

Sara

HAHAHA! I snorted out loud when I read this!

I’m guessing all this time with not even a hint of different abilities or things showing up with Dr. Klein or anything, Lois and Clark have grown a bit complacent, not so much expecting anything any more!

Sara

I'm thinking Olivia has been noticing things and is connecting the dots and coming to the wrong conclusion....
Looking forward to more ^_^

Chapter Four - Rebellion is posted.


I think that was one of my favourite lines in the whole thing to write. I probably snorted too when I wrote it!

ACK! I was grooving along with this longer part and now there’s no more!

I love that you’re really staying in Lois’ perspective because all these things seem “normal”… not the fire alarm being too loud, not wanting to cut her hair… GAH

And then, I LOVED the convo at the end over ice cream. I was half expecting her to ask Lois about Superman, but I’m glad she didn’t and it ended happy. She needed the little bit of love and frankness from her mom!

Now I’m DYING for the big blowup to happen…. *bites nails and waits impatiently for tomorrow*

Sara

They really need to tell her the truth. It's clear to me she's practicing her abilities.....

Looking forward to tomorrow ^_^

Chapter 5 is posted.

Chapter 6 is posted.

I've just caught up and while reading I really wanted to slap Lois and Clark upside their heads. I suppose everyone can be blinded by life and stuff, but grief.

I really hope they can fix this.

Me too! Though I can only imagine how hard it is to talk to a teenager, especially a SUPER moody one! Guess they shouldn’t have put it off so long! And gah! What a cliffhanger—she didn’t just run away, she flew away! At least she called!

Looking forward to seeing how this wraps up!

Chpater 7 is up. Hoping to post the last later this evening if I've got chance.

Final chapter is posted!

Chapter 8

Well, glad they have everything out in the open now. Still painful to read knowing that all of this could have been prevented if ONE of them had been brave enough to SPEAK UP or even just open up a TINY bit.

Ahh! Finally everyone is on the same page! I wish they’d been better at communicating earlier so they could have avoided all the pain and the heartache. I can only imagine how hard it is to walk that line of parenting a teen! (I’m not looking forward to it. )

While it was a shock for her to run away, I like the mirroring of her needing to travel and see the world an and be on her own a bit, just like Clark did when he was younger—he was on a desperate search to find his place in the world. So was Olivia! But she found part of her place at home.

Thanks for sharing!
