I did notice that the TOC is only updated through part 10...
Eek!
Carol, that's my fault! Thanks for bringing it up. I haven't created a story TOC now in so long that I forget that I have older ones to maintain. Without your reminder, we probably would have needed Labby to rescue it, so thanks again!
I have been a silent reader of this and a number of other fics - I just can't get in gear of leaving feedback the way I used to. So it's doubly good that Carol has prompted me to speak up here.
I too am very happy with the way this story is evolving. I personally don't agree with some of Ann's earlier comments that Clark needed to be taken to task more, but certainly there have been apologies all around and explanations of hurt feelings and everyone is very sincere and sorry for their mistakes. And that's all anyone can do when they make a mistake, right: be genuinely sorry and contrite and do your best to fix that mistake (if possible) and to ensure that you don't do it again.
And I do see light for L&C's relationship at the end. But now I'm equally riveted by the A-Plot. The kryptonite dust on the balcony came as a complete surprise, and then to learn how completely widespread it is. No matter how big the piece is that Luthor had, would there be enough dust to cover such large geographical areas, or is it being manufactured somehow? That prospect would obviously be even more scary, if kryptonite can be created on demand. I'm curious to know what happens next.
