Hi all you nice people, this is what I was wondering:

At any point during the series was there a talk about Christmas Lights as related to, well, Lois and Clark's sex life or the lack thereof?

Or is this somewhere in a fanfic?

Either way, could someone enlighten me (ha! get it?) as to which episode or fic this occurs in? And who participates in the conversation? I want to say Clark and his mom, maybe.

Also, the context. What prompts it? And what are the Christmas lights doing or not doing that they ought to be doing... or not?

Thank you!

You mean we're supposed to have lives?

It's in Double Jeopardy when discussing Clark and the clone.
Quote
JONATHAN
And you just left Lois in Hawaii?

CLARK
(evasively)
Not exactly.

MARTHA
What do you mean 'not exactly?'
Where _is_ she, exactly?

CLARK
Metropolis, exactly.

JONATHAN
You two had a fight. Listen, don't
let it get you down. Emotions run
high on honeymoons, both good and
bad. That first awareness that the
two of you have become one is very
scary. Sparks are gonna fly.

CLARK
(ruefully)
I wish.

ARTHA
Clark, you know you can tell us
anything, right? What's on your
mind?

CLARK
(looks off,
uncomfortably)
Christmas tree lights.

MARTHA
Sorry?

CLARK
You know how the holidays come up,
and you're all excited about making
the house just explode with warmth
and love and you hang a box of
brand new lights on the tree,
waiting for that burst of warmth
and love, and you plug 'em in
and.... nothing happens.

JONATHAN
Nothing happens?

CLARK
Nothing.

JONATHAN
Nothing.
(beat)
No sparks?
(another head shake)
No flickering?
(another head shake)
No electricity at all?

CLARK
The power is out.

An awkward silence, then it dawns on the parents what he's
saying and they look at each other with raised eyebrows.

MARTHA
Oh Clark, the power's not out, just
fiddle with your fuses. The two of
you have more electricity than
anyone I ever saw.

CLARK
That's what I thought. I'm telling
you things are suddenly different
between us.

CLARK (CONT'D)
(confidentially)
For a minute, it was like she
didn't even remember I'm Superman.

JONATHAN
Son, there were times on our
honeymoon your mother didn't
think _I_ was Superman...

MARTHA
Jonathan.
(to Clark)
And what does Lois say about this?

CLARK
(sighs)
Well, lately, 'Let's go to the (X)
mall.'
That's the script anyway. The actual show was a bit different but not too much iirc.

Does this mean there's more CC Aiken fic in the works?!?!?

On ficside, there is also a similiar discussion between Lois and Martha in ML Thompson's "The Big Couldn't."


Clark: "You don't even know the meaning of the word 'humility,' do you?"

Lois: "Never had a need to find out its meaning."
