LOL at the Gollum comment. Self doesn't dub self "precious."
I wa extremely troubled by the way Lois persisted in comparing Clark to Lex. I thought it was unfair and rather cruel on Lois' part. Yes, both lied to her. I would not suggest they both manipulated her, though. And Clark certainly never behaved to Lois the way Lex did.
Other than that, though, it was a charming revelation and a satisfyingly honest conversation. Towards the end, though, I started worrying that poor self wouldn't get its water. Thank goodness it did!
Thanks for a fun story, Mere. And LOL at Clark's tunelessness... I think that's another bit of "fanon."
