Hmmmm...interesting question. I think so because of the standard of writing, although I think I would have checked first to see if you had any non-angsty stories....you know just so I could get a little respite from the 'hurt'. If all you wrote was on 'The Dog' level in terms of angst I'm not so sure. I remember as I was reading the more horrific scenes thinking to myself (especially given all the character build up you wrote from when Clark/Lex was growing up) surely Roxy's building up to some truly massive revenge scene here. I started to think about all the things Clark would do in the scene where he finally turns on Lionel and that he'd be helped by Lex and that it would be incredibly sadistic and no doubt highly abusive in some sexual way at the same time. Then I imagined the long process of Clark getting back to that happy place before Lionel took him. But ultimately I think that was just me projecting :-) Clark, being the kickedpuppy!Clark that he is, would never go to the lengths I had imagined bringing down on Lionel. But perhaps Lex would because Lex has a side of his father. You'd probably just have to show him in video footage of what Lionel did to Clark when he got back from Japan. Which by the way I'm glad you didn't give us the details of...I could barely swallow Lex's follow up behaviour that was horrific enough. But that would have been all the extra motivation Lex needed. Anyway....my mind is rambling again. Good story but thank goodness for The Young Kryptonian!
