Wow.
So glad I asked about Cop!Clark stories and this cropped up. I just binge-read the whole thing, and let me tell you, this is an awesome story! Might be one of my all time favorites. I wish I had time to comment more thoroughly on each part, but I'll just sum up here.
I love the set up. Clark being a cop, Mayson trying to interest him in a relationship that just isn't there, Lois turning State's evidence on Lex (her husband of FIVE years
)... All of it flows very seamlessly and makes for a fascinating premise. You had the characters down pat the whole time. I specifically appreciated the relationship you built between Nigel and Asabi-- the two didn't interact together very much in the show, but I 100% believe that they would be hostile towards each other like how you've painted them.
Any little bit of Clark using his powers made me smile, particularly when he stole the car.
Very funny and the subtleties of Clark using his powers on the job were very well established. Honestly, the biggest surprise for me throughout this story was that you had Lois do any time at all. Points for realism, of course, and for providing a twist I didn't see coming. But even so, you still gave a happy ending, with a potentially bright future for Lois and Clark. I'm even glad you left off here, as it leaves a lot to the imagination and yet you filled in some potential gaps, such as maybe Lois writing her memoirs, etc. Either way, I wouldn't be opposed to reading more in this little universe you've created, or if you wanted to let it rest here.
All in all, this was an awesome way to spend a slow, lazy, marginally-sick day! Definitely will be earmarking this for future reads.
