"The Martha/Chloe conversation was just excellent and I liked Martha's realization that she and Jonathan were partly to blame in how Clark's turned out."

There's no getting around the fact that years of 'Don't do this, Clark,' and 'Don't do that, Clark,' resulted in Kal's 'creation, as it were.

"And good for her for wanting Chloe to understand that Clark made that horrible choice to hurt Chloe of his own free will."

There really is no getting around that one. Heaven knows how I'm going to resolve this! :-/

"Continued excellent work on this fic :)"

Thanks, hun! :-)
