I know I'm coming a little late to this, but after catching up on the rest of the story, I had to tell you how much I'm enjoying this wonderful tale!
I love how you've crafted the characters we know so well into these people so different and yet still so Lois and Clark. And I love how you're showing the birthing of hope and healing in them both.
This chapter was, as everyone else said, absolutely excellent! I can't wait for more!
