Fic Homework (plodding along) 10/1/14

Subtraction Time (last updated 5/29/14) Chapter 12 ASAP!!!

Done. I've replied to previous chapter comments on the chapter itself (it's the new thing I'm doing so I can be sure people see I do reply... eventually) and with this being a Chlollie fic, I thought I'd see if I'd missed replying to comments on the others in this series. Turns out I did. And consistently.

I found A LOT OF comments on the first fic in this series that I missed along the way, so crossposted replies on some of those below! I just can't wait to be ALL caught up on comments. :)

Chapter 1:

I have actually come back to read this again. I love that you have Chloe make him work for it! I found this ship hard to really believe in the show. It was way too fast onscreen. You filling in the blanks made me feel it was much more possible.




Thanks so much! As much as I enjoyed Chlollie, it took me some time to get "there" with them as well. I just felt those missing scenes needed filling in, both for the general plotholes Smallville is famous for and for the romantic progression that was largely denied Chlollie onscreen. :)
Chapter 2:
blackheart_me said... AHH HOW COULD YOU LEAVE IT THERE?! JUST WHEN IT WAS GETTING SO JUICY! Honestly i started to feel bad for Oliver. I understood where Chloe was coming from but at the same time it was just...a bit frustrating. (April 26, 2010 at 10:11 PM)
Heh. I remember a lot of people being frustrated at Chloe putting him off when I wrote that, but it was fun for me to write, so.... Heh! Ain't I a stinker?
Bekah said...Chloe was being a little mean, but then I read her reasons and I had to agree with them. Loved that Jon picked up on what was going on and have her good advice. Either Chloe sucks at playing 'the game' so Oliver never picked up on her playing, or he thinks very highly of her ... like she wouldn't think of him that way. (March 11, 2012 at 5:51 PM)
She definitely needed some time to ease into this, especially with how tragically her love life had gone up to then. :/
Chapter Three: 

Man I REALLY missed replying on this chapter. Mea culpa and replying now!

calie15 said... Loved this chapter! I love how you write Chloe. And although it is hard for her to resist, I'm glad she is trying. I also like how you mentioned her being on Clark's hook towards the end. I think that is a very good reason for her to be wary of Oliver. Although she knows he cares for her, he's also a bit of a playboy and does no what he is doing. March 14, 2010 at 10:38 PM

LOL. I don't think Chloe had dealt with anyone with his level of smooth up till then. 

Anonymous said... I'm enjoying this, but I really hope Chloe's act doesn't go on much longer. It's sort of making both of them look stupid. Chloe's smart. Oliver knows this (he's smart too), so her playing oblivious to his obvious advances is going to get old quickly. I know she wants him to work for it, and he should, but there are other ways for her to accomplish that aside from acting completely oblivious, and well.. stupid. March 15, 2010 at 3:47 AM

I'm not quite sure what to say here. Thanks? Sorry? A little of both? Honestly, I was writing this fic as mostly a comedy (the next goes more realistically into their relationship) and generally, I don't find it fun to write people at their smartest in comedies. Sorry you found that so off-putting, Mystery Reader.

smallvillefics said... I was so excited when realized you updated. Even more thrilled (ha! gotcha!) when you revealed you'd be extending the story. Can't wait for more. The shoe scene cracked me up. March 15, 2010 at 12:06 PM 

I did want this to be a three-parter back when I wrote it. But I was just enjoying their little dance so much. And the banter, of course. :) 

Melissa said... awesome update..Im so loving this story...this is how Chloe should react in my opinion, she is the inexperienced girl who falls to freely...she should be guareded w her heart and boyd!! Nicely done! March 15, 2010 at 3:51 PM 

Poor Oliver, in a way. LOL. He's paying for her past mistakes. 

sofia666 said... YAY!! for updating. I loved this chapter- the humour of that scene in the arcade, and Oliver's moves (which *are* very good), and that kiss... even more, I loved that she pulled back from it. and that she doesn't want to rush in or make assumptions about what the other person wants or feels- and her 'tap-dance' had me laughing, Oliver's really at his wit's ends. Great writing, I can't wait for the next upload. March 16, 2010 at 1:11 AM '

Thanks so much! I really enjoyed writing this fic. :) 

  Woot said... Hola, gracias por poner este blog impresionante. Usted hace un trabajo fantástico y quiero felicitar a usted en todo lo que haces. Lamento que este es en español, pero es todo lo que saben hablar / escribir. Obviamente, estoy bromeando. Sé cómo leer Inglés mejor que realmente diciendo o escribiendo. Esto es un poco off topic ¿no? Bueno, escribir algo más por favor. Con una cereza y crema chantilly en la parte superior. Gracias por leer este comentario. Espero que tengas un día fabuloso y fantástico. Feliz Navidad! March 18, 2010 at 5:37 PM '

I had to hit google translate for this one, but I'm glad you can read English as I don't trust my Spanish. But... De Nada! I know that phrase! 

  blackheart_me said... GAH!!! So close! This was so intense! Poor Chloe, the will power to resist that. But more than that, poor Oliver. Torture! April 26, 2010 at 11:45 PM 

I don't know how she found it in her! She is made of some strong stuff, that Chloe! 

  Bekah said... Now she's just chicken lol! Damn that was a kiss. You sure know how to write a kiss. I melted just like Chloe did. I found it absolutely adorable when he stepped off the curb to be more at her level. March 11, 2012 at 6:08 PM 

Thanks so much. I remember spending a lot of time trying to get that kiss just right, so I'm glad it came through well on the reader end. :) 

Chapter Four:


kryptolori said...
Oh man, that Clark is such a douche, ruining a perfectly good set up, looking forward to seeing it all being cleared up! Your such a good tease! great chapter, looking forward to the last one!
April 1, 2010 at 5:01 AM 


Stupid BDA! He ruins everything! LOL. Back when I wrote this, I really thought the next chapter would be the last. Shows how little I know me.


borntobewild13 said...
OUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHH *tearing my hair out* That Clark scene already had me collecting kryptonite but this fic, the way you present Persuasion to us just makes it even more EVIL.
*spits three times to ward of evil*
April 1, 2010 at 9:06 AM 


It really was evil, even when it aired. I remember seeing those roses and being so sure Ollie would show up in the episode and let us know WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON WITH CHLOLLIE. But no!

Kimmy said...
You know after I caught onto the time frame I realized they were never going to get their chance. But after the V-day mess I get the impression that Chloe is going to straighten that out. At least I hope considering they do seem chummy before it all goes pears shaped in Conspiracy again. But then it explains why Oliver is so guarded and bitter when he confronts her. He has really let those feelings go from being verbally slapped down. I love this. You've written them brilliantly. Can't wait for more. Thank you for the awesome update.
April 1, 2010 at 4:36 PM 


I definitely didn't see Chlollie as starting out with hearts and flowers, especially with how adversarial they'd been in season 8 and even a bit in season 9. I'm so glad you enjoyed as I remember there being some reader backlash, back when I wrote this, thinking I wrote Ollie as cruel to her. But, with how he acted in Conspiracy, I knew that vibe of distrust had to last a bit longer before they could start making their way to couplehood for real.

smallvillefics said...
I so did not expect you to bring 'Persuasion' into the fic, but I think you did a great job with building the tension and then creating a viable interruption. Fab writing & I can't wait to read Chapter Five!
April 2, 2010 at 2:30 AM 


So glad you liked. If anything could have tossed Chlollie's tentative beginning off the rails, it was Clark and his krypto-hypno-breath... my mind cried a little at typing that phrase. Oh, Smallville! Just when I think kryptonite STRIDE gum is the silliest thing you can do...

blackheart_me said...
ok....im uh, at a loss of words. I don't think I've ever read a story where I've been dumbfounded at Chloe. But alas! No really, wat just happenneD?! Clark clark clark, does the AI have something in her brain or smoething?

I honestly feel she has to make up to oliver big time. I mean HUGE...
April 27, 2010 at 1:26 AM 


And don't think he won't hold her to that! I was dumbfounded, too! Krypto-hypno-breath!

Oh man! This was awesome! please oh please tell me you'll continue it!!!!

Well, it's all done now! I hope you liked the end (and the fics after), Mystery Readers!

Smallville said...
Okay, I would *swear* I commented here already! I know I read this & loved it. I'm back again for a re-read, and to shamelessly beg you to continue. Please, please, please! In case my name doesn't show up properly (as it has a tendency to do on Blogger), this is smallvillefics on LJ.
June 28, 2010 at 7:08 PM 


I'm still behind on comments to the next fic in this series. But I hope you found the sequel, Action Time. :)

Bekah said...
LMAO at Chloe's dream! The second dream was much better. I love Oliver doing his best to seduce her. DAMN CLARK!! DAMN YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!

Chloe does her homework ... always. And if that means watching hours of porn then she will do it!
March 11, 2012 at 6:32 PM 

She's nothing if not industrious!
