I don't do story comments often, but I thought I would drop you a note to say that I think this is probably the best TOGOM fic I've read. There have been sooo many different takes on the episode, and so many authors tee off on its angst-y nature. But you went an entirely different direction, a more thoughtful direction, and I really liked it. It's actually kind of surprising that the issues you raised in the story - the fact that Lois and Clark snuck into an illegal gambling joint where nobody would be able to ID them, nor would they even want anything to do with the cops - haven't been raised before. It's refreshing, really.
Thank you for writing this, and my hat's off to you for a job well done.
