I've heard kind of how it ends, and that plays a big part in why I haven't got to it yet. :/ I know I'll be the better for having read it, as I always am after the really good ones that just squeeze the hell out of my emotions, but it's. . .
I really like my happy endings. I'd much rather have an open one, where I can at least pretend they lived happily ever after (together) to the end of their days, than one that follows them to their (respective) ends. Does that make sense?
I think this outlook reflects a great deal in what I write, and how I write. I mean, I've got it in my head (and have had ever since '08 when I started), and I know someday I'm going to have to make the decision on whether or not to write a Colin Luthor who's outlived his family. That's the painful truth for any Clex or Clois, in my mind. Maybe not sooner, but later. . . they're all going to die, and Clark is. . . not. :/
Sorry to ramble, but a bittersweet ending? Honey, you're the only one who can get me to read those right away (well, you and your damned niece, and that apple didn't far fall from the adjacent tree), so consider yourself warned. I hate bittersweet, but only because it makes it hurt so good. I've developed into a real crier these days, too, and so that's part of it also. I actually cried at a commercial the other day, and The Simpsons makes me cry every once in awhile. So. If it's even remotely sad or emotional, I'm gonna be a wreck by the time it's finished.
