Ha, that would be Raconteur's
Burden of Conscience .
Really good angsty stuff if that's your thing.
I had a very good quote from it, well another time.
Chew on this.
"The difference between you and Superman."
Clark's face dropped. He felt like his heart stopped. She
couldn't mean... "What... um.. what..."
"...what is the difference between you and Superman. I know.
Odd question. I mean, aside from the obvious. He's Superman.
He saves the world. You're Clark Kent. You put up with me. I'm
not sure which one involves more courage. But that's not the
point. Clark, I went on a date with Superman tonight! That was
a dream come true! HE... was a dream come true. And all I could
think about was you. Do you know why? Of course you don't know
why, you weren't in my head. Well here's the thing. Superman is
a dream come true."
"I caught that part," Clark teased.
"You, Clark... you're the man who makes my dreams come true."
Aww
