That is totally me with s1-3 at this point. It is all a blur. And yes, especially in s6, after that hospital scene in 'Zod', I had such hopes! Before that, I was convinced that the show would end with Clark going on his training and a time jump and the hints were as good as it got. In s6, with Chloe with Jimmy and Lex with Lana, I thought Clois was going to get closer, romantically, and then Oliver showed up. I very much resented him for getting in the way initially lol I definitely support the idea of them kissing earlier! I mean, technically they did in s6 but Lois didn't know! I wish we could've seen them have *that* conversation.
I am totally going to do it. What the heck, now or never, right? We'll see about getting it finished. I really need to finish my last Clois WIP before I start posting a new one.
I worry because I totally used to tone down red k Clark in the past, because I couldn't stand making him that much of a jerk, so he didn't totally come off as without inhibitions. I mean I hope that now I will be able to do more, because it was a while ago but I am always nervous to try new things.
That is good advice. And yeah the "okay, everything is fine and they're in love now" route would definitely not happen immediately, though it'd be much easier. The plan was to go the Stockholm Syndrome, where Clark is both distrustful and attached to Good!Oliver, mistaking him for the evil one, and Oliver feels it is his responsibility to help him recover/move on. Your ideas are great too! I could definitely see myself using those if I wrote this. It is weird- we have seen the characters go through traumatic events but for the vast majority, we don't know how they process their trauma and Clark in particular tends to internalize it, which is why I don't know how to keep him IC while having him go through a healthier path to recovery.
Dark may just be delving into Clark's psyche and getting to explore him feeling betrayed without having the CW filter on it. A fair point. I guess I could just start writing it and see where it goes.
