I'd forgotten about this fic until rosy5000 posted that Barbie thing, and people squeed over the story again, and rather than do anything else all weekend pretty much I read this in its entirety.
You and your angst! When Whitney died, and then Clark running away because that's what he does, and falling in with Jake the Snake, and those horrible twins...
The most heart-wrenching part to me was the chapter where Clark throws away Whitney's ring then immediately begs for it back. Ouch. And then Pete leaving Clark's picture at his gravesite... *sniff* Lex finally getting his brand removed...
For a "Clex" story there was an awful lot of Clark shagging (or trying to shag) other people. But that's the way it has to be sometimes, right? I'm glad Lex was able to be there to bring him back. But dude, Lionel selling him out to the Twins? That's... that's utterly horrible. Inexcusable.
Anyway, this is just another example of how good a writer you are, and being able to turn an angsty, sad, painful story into something that's somehow uplifting.
I'm very glad you explain was "mariposa" meant, 'cause otherwise, I had nothing.
