I am feeling dazed. I'm not entirely sure what to say, but I am going to try to gather my scattered thoughts.
This is an amazing story. I read the first two parts on the archive and enjoyed them. Then I went poking around the TOC to see what I could see, and I was pleased to find another part. I knew I would like it. I did not expect to be blown away.
Adrift has amazing depth and phenomenal clarity. The portrayal of Lois's grief and Sarah's explanation of it, the scene with the calves, even the argument when Clark tells Lois the truth about Superman, were so beautifully done that I found myself holding my breath through entire sections. And their reunion, which could have easily slipped into so much cotton candy, was honest while still being heartfelt.
Can I just worship at the altar of Female Hawk now, please?
