3. Goodnight Metropolis by Peabody.

Summary as given on the archive: They both want to wait up for Clark, but it's late, and Lois Lane Kent finds she must use all her skills in negotiation and misdirection to get her young daughter, Marta (who is just as talented in these areas), ready for bed. A charming "FoLC lullaby."

I agree with the summary's self-promoting last sentence. This is a sweet and charming story. If you want an A-plot or a steamy romance, look elsewhere, but if you are in the mood for a relaxing bedtime story, I would recommend this one.

4. A Guest from the Blue by Wendy Richards. The archives summary of this PG-13-rated story is, "With Lois away on an assignment, Clark is surprised when Lucy shows up on their doorstep. Sensing something is wrong, he invites her to stay, and in the process all three of them learn more about each other -- and themselves." Wendy handles a serious topic with great sensitivity. She also shows that Clark would make a terrific brother-in-law.

Joy,
