SV story recommendation

Ok, run, do not walk, to read [livejournal.com profile] astolat's new SV story, Reconcilable Differences . It's [livejournal.com profile] astolat! Writing more Clex! Futurefic, centered around Kon from the Teen Titansverse (in other words, the biological son of Lex and Clark, though neither had a hand in creating him in this particular story). I just stayed up until 5:30 a.m. reading it, and I was blown away by how amazing it is.

At this moment, I honestly think it is the best SV story I have ever read. And that poses a minor dilemma to me, because I was in the process of composing a LOC about the Temeraire novels that started with something like "As someone who has loved your fanfic for years, I didn't honestly think I could possibly love your writing more than I already did...blah blah blah", but now I think I love this story *more* than the Temeraire novels.

Oh, I am fickle! Or faithful to the Clex, one or the other. My head is so divided: I want her to write more Clex, but also to write more Temeraire. Definitely a quandary, but a nice one. And I now need to let my fangirlishness settle down again before I write that letter, because I want to at least be coherent!

Awww! Yep, I can see your dilemma, even though I haven't read the novels yet. Even writing my feedback comment, I was rendered bumbling and incoherent, and if you had two warring tensions inside you--that'd make it even worse! Honestly, good writing is so hard to praise!! I never find the right words.

Personally, until I read the books, I'm firmly in the camp of barracking for more Clex! *has it easy*
