I just finished reading My Big Goodbye and this series is adorable. Absolutely adorable. I am so glad there is a 5th installment!
Thanks, Bellarata -- you're good for my ego, and I could use the boost today laugh (thanks, Carol & Nan, for pointing them out) I wrote a short one years back, too -- Million Miles Away but, um, let's just say my writing has improved since then.

I second the recommendation for "Then Came You" -- awesome fic. It's part of TUFS. Season 5/6 also did an alt-Clark story, by Kathy Brown but I don't remember the title.

Carol Malo did a terrific one -- Connections .

And the all-time, don't-stop-the-plane-I-want-to-keep-reading-for-hours, long angsty wonderful alt-Clark fic is "Long Strange Trip" by Leela. But don't start reading it until you have a day where you don't have to do much. 'Cause you won't be doing much else.

One of my favorite shorter ones is "In the Bleak Midwinter" by Wendy Richards.

"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."
