I wrote a snippet, then it sat there in the recesses of my computer for years. The story can be found here. Lois: You know, I have a funny feeling that you didn't tell me your biggest secret. Clark: Well, just to put your little mind at ease, Lois, you're right. Ides of Metropolis

I still think romantic wittiness* (is that even a thing?) suits you better than angst, though *Or "witty romance"? :P Go I Know Not Whither and Fetch I Know Not What

The goodbyes when Clark is leaving Earth always stab me right in the heart, and this fit in perfectly. It's simple and beautiful and heart-wrenching, what you've written here. Love it.

Very thoughtful and emotional way of approaching the goodbyes, loved it. Nothing spoils a good story like the arrival of an eye witness. --Mark Twain

Morgana A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

The assuredness in Clark's voice when he answers "Always" to Lois's "And I'm your wife" makes me choke every time I see it.

The emotions, the love...it's hard to watch--because it is so raw--but that's also what makes it stand out so much to me. You really captured that moment . That need for Lois (and Clark) to stay close to each other, to stay connected, even though everything is pulling them apart. How alone Lois would feel, getting ready for Clark to come over--and walk out of her life. Loved it --I'm really glad you posted this! Laura Last edited by LMA; 11/10/15 01:43 PM. "Where's Clark?" "Right here." ...two simple sentences--with so much meaning. ~Lois and Clark in 'House of Luthor'~

Quote This has been sitting on my hard drive for about six years now, gathering dust. /eyes scollbar/ Aww, what an adorable little dustball Quote Once I was home, I set it next to the black velvet jeweler's box holding two rings that might never be used. /scratches head/ Engagement ring next to the wedding rings? Quote No, make that used again. They were briefly put to use for a couple of weeks. Clark had worn his in earnest, while the woman who wore mine had only been pretending. Oh, right. The ARRGH! CLOIS: Ribbit? Quote But it's too late to complain, or scream, or cry, or do anything. The decision has been made. Clark is leaving. Tomorrow morning he'll fly off to save a planet he never knew. It's a war, so he might never return. Even if he does come back, he might never be the same. Oh. Duh! It’s Lois and she bought the silver chain on which to hang her wedding ring. Quote That's when I realize that I didn't buy the chain for me. I bought for it Clark. Awww… Quote Tomorrow I have to let him go. I have to let him fulfill his destiny. Somebody should tell her that the lords can have concubines on New Krypton. ZARA: I wouldn’t mind playing the Irulan to Lois’s Chani. CHING: Quote He's coming over soon to say goodbye. I'll give the chain and ring to him then, and ask him to keep that fragment of my heart safe with him, no matter what the future brings. Did I already mention ‘awwwwwww’?
