It still feels like this could go in so many ways!
I guess it could ... but - in my mind - there's only one way ... and you'll get to see it soon.
Good that Lois now believes 'Lane' - that should make things very interesting.
Well, she couldn't exactly deny it once she got Lane's memories!
I really liked the way this was written as well.
Looking forwards!
Thank you very much.
Thanks
This passage brought (happy) tears to my eyes.
Good, it was supposed to.
And oh how this already is changing Lois! I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this story... and hoping it's soon.
It should be soon. I have six chapters finished, but at least 3 more to go.
Victoria,
This has a bit of the concept that Ken is working through with Lois and Clark getting married in GGGOH and how that would impact the remainder of the season 1 episodes. And I am loving that set of stories of course. Does this go back to Virginia's challenge or was this in the mill before that?
The scene which playing in my mind to set the whole thing going was added to my plot lists way over a year ago, before Virginia's challenge and before Ken's story. When he finished posting GGGoH I was a little surprised at his twist. Anyway, the inspiration to finally write out this scene came over me a few months ago, except it ended up being a bit longer than I expected!!!!
I'm hoping this series will be significantly different from Ken's ... I don't want to duplicate his work, and you'd all be pretty bored. But there is a good chance it will be different as Lois has all these memories from the very beginning of their acquaintance.
Can't wait to see where/how you take it from here as since Lois will know Clark is for her the first time she sees him (the reverse of the time honored Clark falling for Lois as soon as he sees her).
I hope you all like that idea! Although, I'm not sure if I class it as a true reversal, because that would mean Clark being indifferent - or worse than indifferent - to Lois.
How will she work the process, will Clark get scared, will she/when will she tell him about Lane's visit and their future, and of course since she knows she will live to be 97 will she be even more of a risk taker than usual?
Lots of questions. Most will be answered in the next story.
This story series has me VERY excited!
Thanks. Hope I can live up to your expectations.
Hmmm. Will Lois gaining Lane's love and admiration for Clark change how she reacts in the future, either prior to or when meeting Clark? Will she search for him before arrives in Metropolis? Will she be better prepared to avoid the likes of Paul and Claude? Will knowing that there is some man out there who will love her change her personality any (i.e. will she lose her edge)? Will she be (gasp) disappointed that this bespectacled farmboy is HIM? Will it cause her to make him jump through more hoops? Will she be more likely to recognize Superman on site as Clark and accidentally out him? Oh, the possibilities are endless!
Great set up.
You will need to read the follow up to get the answer to all these questions.
Along with the others, I loved the words of love Lois felt with Lane's memories. Awwwww. I really liked how you showed that this was a new feeling for Lois that kind of surprises and overtakes her. Can't wait to see what you have lined up next for these characters. I'll bet it will be fun.
Thanks. I wanted Lois to fully integrate Lane's memories and feelings, not fight them, so I'm glad that worked.
A proper end to the beginning. Let's watch them fall in love all over again ... (Happy sigh!)
Yeah. I'm hoping for lots of love between the two of them.
Beautiful! I am loving the story and am so excited for the next installment to start up. It is such an interesting and unique start to the story we all love. Really excited to see where you take us
...
I'm excited too. This story has grown so much bigger than my first idea.
Lois' feelings already for her future husband are so touching.
Oh yeah. Lois is completely overwhelmed by her feelings already.
Wonderfully written, KK
Super excited!
Laura
Thank you.
I'm hooked and eager for the full story to follow.
Me too. I'm eager to start posting. But I'm worried that I wouldn't keep up with writing and then you'd have to wait while I caught up.
I especially liked the passage:
Safe. In Clark's arms she was safe.
Loved. In his eyes she was loved. She was worth loving.
Wanted. In his heart she was wanted … desired … needed.
Yeah, it's lovely. *sigh*
The parallel structure really worked well in enhancing the already high amount of WAFF.
So, is Lois going to react to Clark the way S1 canon-Lois did to Superman (i.e., behaving like a schoolgirl with her first crush), and, if so, will that put Clark off a bit?
I like that idea - Lois being a 'Clark Kent groupie' rather than a 'Superman groupie'.
After all, one of the things that seemed to attract canon-Clark to her is her fire. If he doesn't see that side of her because she is all googly-eyes in his presence, will he react to her with the same fervor as canon-Clark?
Well, we will just have to see.
Obviously, since the next story is longer than this one, they can't just "click" from the start. Maybe Lois will have a negative reaction to Clark's double life and, more importantly, to his keeping a secret from her? (She will, after all, realize from the get-go that CK=S.) Or will she put two and two together at Superman's debut and call him by name when he swallows the bomb? That would certainly cause Clark to panic.
It would. I'm sure I've read a couple of short vignettes to the effect of Lois recognizing Clark at that point.
There are a lot of ways that this story can develop but, given that it is a KK story, we know that it will end well.
Hmm. Seems I've got a reputation now ... everyone knows that I like happy endings!
Looking forward to the ride in between.
Joy,
Lynn
Hope you enjoy it.
I liked this story!
Can we have another?
Yup.
Queenie,
Rest assured, there is another. This was the setup for the main story. You will not be disappointed.
Thanks Ken.
And as Ken has seen as far as chapter six you can trust his word!
