Hi Bek!
I’ll try to forget what I may have heard about this before
Until recently, young 16-year-old Kal-El’s entire life has been about training and preparing to be Supreme Ruler of Krypton.
Did he discover a concubine on his trip to Earth with the family?
But when he learns his planet is doomed
Oh no!
LOIS: What’s his problem? My home imploded when I was 15 and I, too, turned out all right. Always with the teenage angst. Parents get divorced. Get over it. Just because your daddy king diddled the serving girl doesn’t mean your world’s gonna end.
/evil reader points at translation mistake/
LOIS: Oh. Wow. So, you mean your literal planet is literally going to blow up? Can I get that as an interview for my high school newspaper?
he faces a new journey—not just to be Krypton’s sole survivor on a distant planet called Earth, but also to find a way to create a life and a legacy his parents would be proud of.
LOIS: /looks at photo of young prince/ Okay, fine, I’ll go on a date with him. But if he grabs my story, I’m outa there!
I wanted to tell a sort of love story that I’ve never seen before in an L&C fic but that I’ve really wanted to read
So. It’s not gonna be teenage alien knocking up teenage girl? Because we have a bunch of those and they’re always fun!
… So, 275,000 words later, and here we are…
Eeeeeeep!
I’ll be posting maybe every other day.
I may be lagging behind. No more than two parts per week. One if there’s other stuff also going on. Like I need to read the NSFW one shots, too.
Very inspired banner, Sara! The alien font. The colored hair. The little exhaust explosion. The confused and vacant look on the princeling’s face. At least that’s what it looks like on the smartphone screen!
He’d had to finish the task his father had given him first—the gathering of books from the library.
Next his father is going to have teach the young prince how to read.
Kal-El: I already know. /Claps hands/ Have my book reader come! /pauses/ See?
The boy’s own flowing robes, which he was required to wear over his skintight leisurewear when passing through the hallways of the palace,
So he prevents undue attention by the serving girls…
, his title would be exalted to Lord Kal of the House of El, and he would take his place as Supreme Ruler of Krypton.
Oh, how does Kryptonian succession work?
Planets of the Fifth Realm, Hyperspace Travel, and Lost Languages: English of Earth
Oops! Also, great scenery
They were dusty and old and looked as though no one had pulled them from the shelves, well, ever maybe.
Just how old is “English of Earth”? Is he going to speak Elizabethan English? Will he sound like Bernard from Much Ado About Nothing? And will he learn to bicker with Lois? Treat her like Petrucio in The Taming of the Shrew?
LOIS: Hey!
The Lost Languages book was difficult to find.”
He thought it was lost?
Kal now saw, a flight path with a trajectory to the Fifth Realm.
Is it time for the rumspringen? A chance to sow his wild oats with the population of a minor world where there are no dynastic consequences to be feared?
This imbalance has led to the generation of excess heat, and that heat will result in a detonation large enough to break the entire planet apart.”
So, a simple mining accident will do them in.
They are a more primitive people than us, but they are like us too in many ways. You will fit in there, Kal, and you can grow and reach adulthood and build a new life there.
Boy, will it be a culture shock when he learns that absolute monarchy was abolished in most places.
Your mother and I have decided this, Kal. You shall not argue with us.”
Now, go to your new room and speak no more of this!
The decision had already been made for him by his mother and father. He would abandon them, all of them—his entire race of Kryptonians.
That’s a great flip side twist.
He would do as his father told him.
After all, he really had no choice.
Poor guy!
That was a very well written setup. Wonderful world building
Michael
