Still reading and enjoying, Rac. And my arm is well enough now for more feedback.
I don't know what my muses would do with anything in your story. I'm not sure they could handle something this long, this complex, this epic, this heart-rending and compelling. I've been with this tale since Zara and Ching first showed up, and I plan to be here at the end.
Which, apparently, isn't on the radar as yet.
How much more heartache can these two handle? One of the attractive features of the Lois and Clark story as we see it is that Lois and Clark are essentially real, normal people, with the added complication of Superman thrown in for confusion. And even though many other couples have experienced heartache and worry over the health of their children, marital problems, and job issues, you've managed to take that stress and extend it to our favorite couple in a totally reasonable way.
Job separating the newlyweds? We have that. Absent father? Check. Young man who doesn't know he's a father? Got it. Husband in mortal danger? You betcha. Young wife and mother at odds with her parents? Yep. No communication between separated lovers? Bingo. Readjustment problems for both lovers? Double-check. Surprise baby? Wow, yes! Serious health concerns for said surprise baby? Why not? Fear of losing the relationship on the part of both parties? Triple-check and exclamation point.
They're facing the same things all of us have either experienced or have feared. And they're doing it as we'd like to do it, with grace and fear and determination and fingernails chewed down to the elbows and quiet desperation and courage when hope cannot be found. This is one of the truly epic tales of human bravery in the face of incredible odds, and I'm so glad to be along for the ride.
Thank you.
Now where's the next chapter?
