Will things ever start to look up for Clark?  Debtor's slavery? How horrible! I mean, I knew Australia was where they shipped many people from debtor's prison but slavery? Luckily, poor Clark was found and saved by the Lanes. I can't see Luthor being happy about, not that he'd recognize some peasant he sentenced to slavery the next time he visited the Lanes. Hopefully, with Clark's help the Lanes would no longer need the protection of Luthor. I'm sure Sam doesn't see it that way. So sad that Merlin wasn't purchased with Clark. Such a good horse.

Tragic circumstances for Clark to endure in this part, but it got him to a place in the Lane household. Hopefully, things will start looking up for him here. Hey, if Clark is in charge of the stables, maybe he should invite Lois down for a roll in the hay!  lol

Well, it IS one of my stories so...of course things went from bad to worse. BUT, at least he is with Lois now, even if they can be wed. I thought selling him into slavery felt very much like what Lex Luthor would do - he's trying to make money off Clark's tragedy. Lex is arrogant enough that he likely wouldn't recognize Clark if he saw him again. He's a peasant and well beneath him, so therefore not worth sparing a second glance at. Merlin WAS purchased with Clark. Lois recognized the horse and demanded him along with Clark. Sam bought both man and beast. Thanks for reading!

Hey, if Clark is in charge of the stables, maybe he should invite Lois down for a roll in the hay! lol Living with Lois - the one upside to all of Clark's recent heartache. Things will definitely be looking up, even if his heart is going to get hurt being so close (but so far!) from Lois. I like the roll in the hay idea!

Poor Clark. First he has to bury his father and then he is sold into slavery. Good thing that he is now going to work for Lord Lane. Maybe he can become a knight and be eligible to marry Lois?
I like your stiry very much, so please come back with more soon!
It's never too dark to be cool.

I like stories like this! Very different. The only problem is, Clark doesn't have powers.
But at least he and Merlin will be together, working for a kindly man like Lord Lane.
Lord Luthor does not sound like a patient man, I would have thought he would have demanded her hand by now.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

I like your stiry very much, so please come back with more soon! Yeah, things are a mess for poor Clark right now. My muse constantly does bad things to him when I write. Clark will most definitely not be a knight though. More next week! Thanks for reading!

Lord Luthor does not sound like a patient man, I would have thought he would have demanded her hand by now. Luthor's patience is a front, for now. Just as canon Luthor appears differently in public vs private, so does this version. (Kind to the Lanes, a demon to his peasants.) I'll admit, this was a very different type of fic for me to write, but I actually really loved it and it all fell together much faster than I'd anticipated. Thanks for reading!

Yeah, that roll in the hay sounds like a great idea!  I'm at the same time heart-broken for Clark, but also optimistic. All of a sudden, all of his immediate BIG problems for flat out 'survival' have been solved. He was really in quite the bind prior to starting to work for the Lane's. I hate that Jonathan had to die, but I can see this step--how all of this brought Lois and Clark into a daily part of each other's lives--as a pretty vital turning point in the story. I am so excited for the next installment. There are so many possibilities now that Clark is living on the grounds. They can really get to know each other. Become friends. Become MORE . And then hopefully (for all involved) Luthor won't stand a chance  ! Laura

"Where's Clark?" "Right here."
...two simple sentences--with so much meaning.

And then hopefully (for all involved) Luthor won't stand a chance ! Laura Don't think the idea of a "roll in the hay" has completely left my head. It wouldn't be for this story, of course, but, yeah, my muse is tempted. Back to the story at hand - You know, I waffled on killing Jonathan and letting him live and be sold with Clark. Clark would have made a desperate plea to Lois/Lord Lane about how good Jonathan's food is. But in the end, it didn't pack the emotional whallop I wanted and it wasn't realistic to have the Lanes in need of two positions that Clark and Jonathan could so perfectly fit. New installment coming soon!
