I LOVED this installment!
Clark is a rival of Superman's on a different level than most of the canon stories. Lois just has the same instincts about Superman that saved him from being discovered before in other stories. This time, though, the Clark-part of him seems to be more lovable to Lois. She not only wants to be his friend, but she acknowledges that he is a good writer and a good guy. Clark is being a guardian angel to Lois as well as the Kents. And he is enjoying the part. The fact that he has had a serious relationship with other females also rounds out his personality differently than most canon stories. He knows enough to help Lois through all of her insecurities, but he isn't "Claude" savy enough to scare her off.
Hurry back, Virginia. I'm enjoying this story more than I can put into words.
