Well, what can I add to all the previous comments? This is such a difficult task, now that heaps of laurels and garlands have been gathered at Sue’s feet...
As many of you already wrote, one should quote almost every sentence of this delicious morsel of fic.
I’ll just say that as usual, characterization is top notch, that one “hears” this version of our favorite characters speak with the actors’ voice, using their gesture. Sue’s prose is very visual and wonderfully evocative, the banter no deterrent to tenderness and emotion. Attention to details doesn’t obscure the general picture, but it makes it all the more real, delightful, touching and very very human.
Lois has been standing for a long time before Clark’s door, wearing only a t-shirt (and trying to lengthen it by pulling on it, a very visual and telling gesture…). I’m glad he let her in, and even gladder that you came back to the board with this awesome fic.
Stay. It was so simple. She could stay.
Oh, yeessss. Please, Sue and Lois, do stay, both of you.
Now, for the "big" number 2 reveal? I’m all eagerness to read it.
