What a ride.
Shayne, I'm really sorry the story is finished. There is no "truth" to seek on the boards now. I'm certain that this Lois and this Clark will make it work somehow. And I'm so glad it ended this way, with Lois leaving an empty life and going back with Clark to live a full life with people she can love, people who will love her, and a vocation where she can have a real and significant impact on the world. Lois deeply wants to matter, to make a difference for herself and for others, and now she'll have a chance to do just that.
I still wish we'd seen more of Lois vs. Lana. That would have a been a pay-per-view match worth the price.
I'm looking forward to your next excellent story, Shayne. I know it will meet - or even exceed - the high standard you've set for yourself and for the rest of us. Thank you for sharing this wonderful tale with us.
