Hiya, Mike!

Glad you're finding this piece to be true to L&C, even if it does have a darker premise (Clark might die). I'll admit that the Clark nearly dying episodes are some of my favorites - Top Copy, Home Is Where The Hurt Is, etc. So, I guess the emotional stuff sort of dribbled off into my fic. (Also, the desire to at least partially gut my readers - what can I say? I'm evil.)
Accused was awesome. I love the premise of the Superman persona working against Clark, giving him the option of being a murder suspect and keeping his secret, or giving up the secret to the police and clearing his name.
Chapter dropping in a couple of hours...
PS - I love how the FDK threads have gone. It's made me laugh. A lot.
