Thanks for sticking with me through this one! It was a fun little ride, and I appreciate each of you who read the story!

Let me know if you have any thoughts on this last part. Thanks so much!

Tracey

Aww what a sweet ending! Love it!

Wait...that's the end?! It can't be the end! There's so much more to the story... What happens with Lex?! When does Clark tell her about Superman?! How does she handle it?! Where do they go for their second date?! Don't leave us here! D:

This was a sweet story, but it definitely calls for a continuation!

What a sweet, lovely, chilling (only in some places) story! Brrr, Lex gave me the GradeA+ creeps ; thank goodness Clark was around to save Lois' emotional day

I have to agree with Queenie, that can't be the end! I mean I understand the idea of leaving the audience with some hanging threads and to use their own imaginations to complete...

You have left:
1. Lois and Clark's romantic future
2. Lex's expected retaliation to Lois' rejection
3. The Daily Planet is still in ruins
4. The Superman reveal
5. Jonathan and Martha's reaction to all this new relationship
6. Even Jimmy and Perry's reaction to the new 'partnership' of Lois and Clark

I loved the story idea but it certainly deserves a continuation or sequel.

Ouch. Lois’s and Lex’s discussion was chilling, with Lex at his most dangerous and scary. Lois is beginning to realize that she may have erred in going out with Lex…

Three cheers for Lois!

So do I… This is why this awesome story asks for a sequel.

A fault confessed is half redressed… Trust Clark to make Lois feel better, saying that she wasn’t the only one who was taken in…

Yay! What a lovely, sweet, charming story! Please, don’t let us hanging too long, and pleaaaase, do write a sequel. As Mike wrote, there are too many elements left unresolved.

Awww! This was such a perfect, sweet, satisfying ending. I, too, want to see more tho! There's so much more to tell with this story! I'd love to see a sequel, but for now, this hit all the right notes.

I love the interaction with Lex and Lois. Weird to love a tense scene like that, but you struck the exct right balance between them. Lex was menacing, genuinely threatening, but Lois held her ground. The fear was palpable when he grabbed her arm and, like Lois, I thought for a moment that he wouldn't let go.

I also love that she ran to Clark. You helped show her feelings and then when she said the words it was perfect. Clark's little reference to being able to handle himself with Lex had me cued up for a reveal, but I'm glad you didn't right away. I like the "I love you" moment as is. Give them a minute to catch their breath before going back out to face the world.

All around, a fantastic return! I hope you've got some more aces hidden up your sleeve, and look forward to reading more!

/Nudges again for a sequel/

Awww! Even though I've read this multiple times already, I still enjoyed reading it all over again this evening. So sweet! I especially love how they replay the conversation in the park, with a much better outcome. And yes, Lex is scary when he doesn't get what he wants ... but I know L&C will somehow manage to bring him down now that they be doing it together.

And best of all, even though I don't think a sequel is required -- we can all fill in the gaps with our favorite continuation -- it certainly leaves a great opportunity for one, should the muse strike you.

Great job, Tracey!!

Thank you all for commenting!


Thank you, jackiek! And thank you for reading along!


I'm glad to hear that I wrote Lex so that he gave you the creeps! He certainly does that for me, too. Thank you for the lovely compliment, Endelda!

So I hear that there is some call for a continuation:




Thanks, Queen of the Capes, for reading! I hear your questions. And Mike, you even left me a list! lol. Mille, I'm glad that you felt it was a charming story but it did have some unresolved elements. I do see where you all are coming from! Honestly, when I sent Kathy this last part, I said that I knew I left threads hanging, and if they needed to be tied in order for the story to feel satisfying. Now, while I will never say never to a continuation (who knows what the muse will come up with in the future!), but for now, I told the story I wanted to tell: Lois's realization that Clark meant more to her than she'd ever thought. Plus, I wanted to reverse the pain of that rejection in the park for Clark. So for now, it is complete. But I love that it made an impact and you want to see more!


I thought writing a revelation there, Mouserocks, but like you said - I wanted the 'I love yous' to come first. And then once I did that, it seemed like that part of the story had come to its natural conclusion. So I decided to leave it there: with them together, ready to take on the world (and Lex Luthor). Thanks for reading!


Thanks, Kathy! I love that you came in and read it again, even after you'd read it a million times already! You are the best, and once again, thanks for helping me. /me bows to one of the greats

I appreciate you all! I thought this would be my last foray into writing L&C fanfic, but I had so much fun over the last few weeks, I think I'll have to just 'never say never' on that one, too. Thanks for all the encouragement!

From the moment I glimpsed the title of this story it struck me as unique and asking to be read. Now that TraceyLynn has completed this tale of near loss and happy rediscovery it is plain to see why it is special.


Talk about someone not listening! Lex, get a grip and a clue, the woman is not that into you.


Safety Precaution? Unless you are dating a member of the British Royal Family, such a 'precaution' is totally unnecessary. This is just the beginning of him controlling everything that Lois does. Get out of there right now!


Oh my! Somehow I don't envy him that conversation. But seriously, there are so many other issues to be tackled that this fic just begs for a sequel. Many of my fellow FoLCs have said it much better than I! Please!

I enjoyed seeing Lex's slow descent into anger as Lois continued to stand her ground. First he was stunned, then measured, then an edge appeared, hardened to threatening. I was as frightened as Lois that he wasn't going to let go of her arm.

Of course, the scene with Clark was equally comforting. And funny. I loved the part where Clark asked her twice if she had gone to see Luthor tonight? Alone?

I love this. Lois has had so few people in her life that are nonjudgmental that it's no wonder that she's sought him out from the very beginning for friendship and comfort. He is her place of safety. This trait alone could have been the reason that she fell in love with Clark.

Oh, and she was brave. She made herself vulnerable and allowed herself to love Clark and then she took the even scarier step of telling him. Not easy for anyone that has been hurt before.

Wonderful story, Tracey. I can only hope that you'll be back with more, either with a continuation or with another tale. Thanks!

Ooh, more fdk? That's so sweet - thank you guys!


Aww, Morgana, comments like that are going to make me want to write more fic! I'm so happy you thought this story was special. As for the title, you can thank Kathy for that one - I was stuck (again) and she came to the rescue! But "All I Ask" fit so perfectly with what I'd written, I had to use it!


Loved that comment! Yes, so true!



You're sweet for asking! For the moment, it is complete - I didn't envy Clark that conversation either, so I didn't write it Who knows in the future, though!

And thanks, BJ, for adding your comments, too!


Glad that you liked that part! I chuckled a little while writing it - just seemed so Clark.


Yes! All of this. I quote it because I loved it, and it's so true.


Thank you! I hope I'll be back, too. I've had so much fun posting this one. Thanks for reading!

Tracey

Hey, I wasn't aware the last part had been posted!

Really liked it, but aaaaaaugh, there needs to be more! How's Lex going to react? How will Lois take the CK=S revelation? Too many questions!!

Glad they're together, at least. And that Lois saw through Lex, and finally got in touch with her feelings!

Keep writing!

Take care!

A tender ending to a powerful story. Powerful because Lois looks at herself in the mirror and sees, at last, what she is becoming.Her moment of self discovery is wonderful.
Forgive me, I do wonder, what if Clark HAD said "I told you so".?

Traceylynn, I wish there was a sequel to All I Ask. Stories like this are the reason I came here and the reason I have stayed. The scene in Centennial Park was so brilliantly brought to life I felt myself shouting for Lois to wake up and smell the coffee! Dear Clark is giving Lois his most precious possession, not his superpowers, but his heart, which is clearly vulnerable.

In any case it was very enjoyable to read this again. Thank you.

Traceylynn, If Morgana had not left fdk, I would never have read this incredibly sensual story. I read all 5 parts in one evening. This story begs a sequel.
