This great story is on my guess-the-fic list, so I have to answer! It's Champagne Truths by Judith Tylke!

Now a new good one:

Quote
"I would imagine that it's been pretty scary at times today. Waking up to find yourself unable to move or even speak would terrify most people. Don't be so hard on yourself. You're going to be fine, but it may take a day or two to get back to normal." She smiled sympathetically. "If you want to cry, go ahead. I won't tell anyone."

Stunned that Nurse O'Brien had seen through him so clearly, Clark remained speechless.

Plumping his pillows, she continued, "Now, before I leave you, is there anything you want or need? How about something cold to drink? Is ginger ale all right?"

He nodded. "That would be fine, thank you." He added as the thought struck him, "Could you please ask one of the policemen out there to contact Inspector Henderson for me? I need to talk to him."
"Certainly." With a final plump of his pillow, she left the room. "Be right back with that soda."

Left alone, Clark wondered at his reactions to the events of the day. It dawned on him that he did want his mother. If he could only see her, he knew she would help him put things into perspective. Her calm, good sense would bring some order to the chaos that was his life at the moment. Tears rose again in his throat. Maybe Nurse O'Brien was right. Perhaps he should give in to his desire to weep. He could hardly feel worse, and it might help. Clark turned his face into the pillow and let out the sob that had been choking him.

Another quote from this Kerth nominee story:

Quote
"Lo...is," he began.

"Don't start that," she snapped.

"Start what?" he asked in a plaintive voice.

"Don't start with that tone you get when you're humoring me. I'm worried about your health. In case you have forgotten, you almost died this morning. I don't think you should overdo it today."

"No, I haven't forgotten. But I really do feel amazingly better. This sun seems to be helping me a lot." He took her hand. "Have I thanked you for saving my life?" His lips twisted. "It's not supposed to be that way, though."

"Yes, you have, several times. You're very welcome." She looked at him, curiosity evident in her gaze. "What's not supposed to be what way?

"You're not supposed to save me. I'm the one who does the saving, you know?"

"Usually. But that's what being partners is all about, isn't it? One stepping in when the other can't? Backing each other up?" She smiled. "And saving each others' lives when necessary?"

Clark rubbed his thumb over her palm. "I guess so. But it still bothers me ... that you had to save my life. What if you'd needed me today?"

"I did need you today. Why do you think I decked Diana?"

The Man of Steel succumbed to her logic. "Okay. If you say so. Please tell me it's four o'clock, and I can get out of here. I have things to do and people to see."

These quotes were so familiar and since no one else has anwered in a while, I cheated and looked it up. It's Growing Pains by Ann McBride.

Here's another great story!

Quote
Lois stood at the door leading to her small backyard. It seemed like
ages since she'd been happy here. She could clearly remember nights
spent on the patio with her husband, sharing wine or dinner over
conversation or the latest story they were working on. She could even
recall the night they made up after their first big fight. Those times
seemed like years ago now.

So much had happened in the last few years. Finding out Clark was
Superman, which was a good thing since she was in love with both men.
She didn't have to give up her fantasy because she'd chosen to have a
life with her best friend. They'd taken forever to get married, over a
year. This brownstone was their first home. It held many memories, some
good, some bad. It was here they shared passionate nights together. It
was here they found out they couldn't have children. It was here she
remained when Clark walked out of her life. And it was also here where
she found out Dr. Klein's fertility tests were wrong. Kryptonians were
indeed compatible with Earthlings. At least Clark was compatible with
Lois. She was rubbing the proof in her very pregnant belly.

Lois would deliver hers and Clark's baby in three short months. She
would also raise that baby alone. Clark had made it clear that he could
not, or more to the point, would not be part of the baby's life. In
fact, he'd told her to abort it. She had slapped his face hard for that
one. She could still remember that painful night so well.


Silence is golden.
Duct tape is silver.

That was What Makes a Man by Stopquitdon't

Here's another great one:

Quote
Leaning up against the doorframe to her room was Clark. Her mouth
curved into a smile as she approached.

"When I take a date home, I walk her to the door," Clark
explained, his smile meeting hers.

"Really. And how did you know this was my room?"

"I heard the receptionist give you the room number."

"You did, did you? And I suppose you just..." She made a wavy
motion with her hand. "...onto the roof and then zipped down the
stairs. All for the purposes of making sure I got home okay?"

Clark blushed slightly, which Lois found absolutely adorable.
"Well, I did sort of hope I might get a goodnight kiss. Isn't
that standard at the end of a first date?"

"Depends," Lois said, her smile threatening to take over her
entire face, "on how good the date was."

"Oh, I see. So how did I rate? Was it good enough to warrant a
goodnight kiss?"

I know! This is ML's Lost In Time . Definitely worth reading smile

Be back in a minute with another quote...

Okay, an old favorite of mine that for years had me wishing I had a cave (I didn't have a guy yet, but I figured I'd find the cave first and be prepared wink )...

Quote
The canvas slid from her shoulders but the cold draught circulating around the cavern was useless to cool down the fire that Clark's hands were setting on her. Her wet clothes were clinging to her skin, spreading a welcome warmth through her where they connected with those of her partner, and she pushed him up against the rock behind him, shifting to a more comfortable position on his lap.

Her restless attitude pulled Clark back to a reality he'd lost touch of, and he broke off their kiss, gasping for breath and trying to ignore the lump in his throat as Lois unclasped her hands from his nape to run her palms down his chest. An irrepressible need to feel her touch his bare skin took hold of him, and biting his lip and clenching his fists did little to restrain his so far uninhibited desire.

From her vantage position, she was looking down at him with a predatory expression that he wouldn't have expected from her. It wasn't enough to make him shy away from her, and he knew that the same light was shining in his eyes, burning like a consuming flame between them and urging him to pounce. The more reasonable part of his mind that had been urging him to run away was evaporating in the heat of the moment.

Her name escaped his lips in a sigh that barely made it past his mouth before she was capturing it in another devastating kiss, and he was lost to the world. He shivered uncontrollably when her fingers found their way under his t-shirt and grazed the wet skin of his chest.

I really liked this game, and I miss it. Anyone interested in resurrecting it? We might want to start a new thread though, so we can reuse all the stories mentioned in this one.

Well, this one usually does come up again, in one fashion or another, periodically, so I don't see why not.

What about sticking to a theme this time around? Comedies? Angst? Next Gen stories? And so on?

Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
