Thanks, scifiJoan! Lois and James have a very strange relationship still, but they're getting there. And this was one of my favorite Lois and Clark scenes to write to date, just because it felt more like THEM as they are in the show. They're getting back some level of normalcy.
Yes, Virginia, I had to give James the broken arm, just because I had such a clear picture of him in that sling on the S1 finale! Jonathan is not completely out of danger yet, but hey, at least he's alive! Love how you phrased that about Lois and Clark needing each other to see that they're more than they think they are -- so true!
Thanks, groobie! I really wanted to explore Clark's strength, even when he thinks he's weak, but as you said, sometimes you just need that hug even if you are trying to be strong.
Thanks, everyone! And good news -- I'm not late this week!
