Oh. Oh, Lex.

This was all kinds of heartbreaking.

Awww ... but also a little sweet at the end too right? Since now there's no reason Lex's dream can't become reality :)

Look at you, writing happy endings!

I have to admit, I'm always a little surprised by the stories where Clark just comes right out with his extraterrestrial status. I was expecting, "I have these powers," or something that wouldn't terribly shock someone already living in a town full of meteor mutants.

But in a story this sweet, the reveal works. When the desire for the truth has been pushed to these extremes (a Truthinator?! :D), it's best for Clark to just lay all his cards on the table.

You have been watching a lot of P&F, haven't you? I'm surprised Perry didn't arrive to save the day!

Lovely!! I was smiling at the end.

*steps back with determined nonchalance* Well, hello there, stranger.

It is more than lovely to see you again in these treasured halls. And your fic is beautiful always. Oh, boys.

I love that the end seems to be winding up to an argument of another sort before Lex defuses it so simply and Truthfully.

:) I have to confess I was hoping for a comment from you. Merry Christmas lovely.

Lex is getting too old to expect much anymore but recriminations for every action he takes and every action he doesn't take, every mistake and every success under the same malicious scrutiny ( ... )

Re: *flyingtackle* nonotthatone December 26 2012, 13:40:08 UTC

OMG. I love you.

It is an olive branch from which Lex will start a new orchard, given time enough.

Oh, this, this.

What a wonderful idea ... Christmas and Lex brooding over his bad reputation and Reporter!Clark and a fix for Jitters all in one. It's like you wrapped them all up in bows for a present for me :)

How can I not love a story that features Lex building a TRUTH BUTTON. Beautiful!
