I like Clark's new friend Chen. And now I wish I had some chocolate chip cookies. goofy

What a nice gift Grandma Tildy gave to Clark.

Thanks! I stole Chen from Chi of Steel. I figured this was a more believable way for them to know each other, instead of having the "same eye doctor." :P

Grandma just changed Clark's whole life, didn't she? smile

Grandma Tildy introduced him to journalism. I love it. Chen, I really like him. Now I know where that name came from (read that post above).

Loving this story.

Woohoo! It's up! Great job as always Vicki.

Okay, I'm not saying too much because I don't want to hint at anything, but I love how you've created these wonderful original characters in this world. An incredible heart-wrenching backstory for them all and a safe place for Clark to help discover the strength inside him he doesn't yet know he possesses. Beautifully done.

Loving this story.

I'm actually always wanted to explore Chen a little more in a fic. This gave me a chance to at least use him a bit, when I thought about who Clark might meet at the halfway house. And I liked the idea of an outside influence on Clark discovering his knack for journalism. It was a fun twist. smile

Glad you like the story!

Awww, thanks! blush

Glad you like the characters. Grandma was particularly fun to create. And it was really fun to get to play around with Chen. We got so little of him in the show that it was nice to explore a new friendship and backstory for him.

More to come next weekend! smile

I am loving the story so far. I’ve been rereading older stories in the archives for a while but have been craving a dose of healthy, unexpected angst. I checked the threads and I see this new story and within a few minutes of reading the first chapter, I was in tears. I’m excited to see the journey this story takes and will be right here eagerly awaiting new chapters.

Thank you! Glad you like it so far. I do tend to put poor (usually) Clark through the wringer. Not all the time of course, but...my muse can be mean to him. She certainly was in chapter one of this story, at any rate.

Hope you enjoy what's in store.

And enjoy the archive! There's some really great stuff in there, no matter what you're craving. We're a lucky fandom to have so many great writers!

Woo-hoo! New fic from DC! clap

I'm loving it so far. Poor little Clark, losing both parents like that. Love the inclusion of Chen-- I love it when random side characters can be reworked into a fic. He seems like he's going to be a great lifelong friend to Clark. I'm curious to know if you're going to stick with Clark growing up or jump forward in time... 14 doesn't seem like enough chapters for so much happening!! Love that you landed Clark somewhere safe though, and looking forward to the next chapter as always. clap

Woo-hoo! Mouse feedback! smile

Glad you like it so far. I think it's always fun to throw in nods to the show - little details or obscure characters that show up in a fic. Chen is exactly the kind of friend Clark needs right now and a great way for Clark to feel a certain amount of normalcy returning.

You're right on one thing - 14 chapters is NOT enough chapters to get everything in. So this is the first of a series. I'm not done with the series yet, but aiming for a trilogy. I've got a good portion of the next fic in the series on paper. And it's not enough to accomplish everything I want still. goofy

Thanks for reading!

Hahaha! Glad to make you happy! Lois will be around...eventually. I have other things planned for poor Clark first. wink

Grandma Tildy is way cool giving Clark a journal to write in every day. She is amazing and so is Chen!

D.C., please don't drop the bottom out on us, let Chen live.

Okay, I won't kill Chen in this fic. Probably not at all in the series. But...no promises, since I'm not done writing, and Lord only knows what my muse will do.

Grandma and Chen are both pretty cool. smile

Aww,so sweet of Grandma to get such a nice gift to Clark. I just hope that things are finally getting better for Clark, he deserves it.

I really like how you use Chen here, he is pretty important for Clark and I love how you have Clark being an important part of Chen's life as well!

Great story!
