Summary: Not all Kryptonite is bad, but they all certainly have their side effects. [Takes place in season 2, some time after 'Individual Responsibility'] This fic is an answer to the challenge by Queen of the Capes - Somebody has taken a little stroll...or flight?...while completely sound asleep. Who is it? Where do they go and what do they do? Who sees them? And what happens the next morning?It quickly became bigger than a one-shot. Part 1 is here: ChimesI hope you all enjoy. I think it's pretty different.

I have to admit that I have no idea what purple kryptonite does to Clark. Or if it's even a part of canon. Of course I could look it up, but I'd rather be surprised. This promises to be interesting. Count me in for the ride.

So, Music Kryptonite? Well, I have no idea where you will go with that, but am excited to find out. I'll follow this one. Lucky is Clark that Rachel hadn't found more Green K to Show him or his secret could have been damaged :-)
Up, up and away - to the next fanfic.

Count me in for the ride. Admittedly, there is no assigned effect of purple kyptonite in any Superman canon I could find. Which is why I chose it ^_^ Anyway, hope you enjoy the ride So, Music Kryptonite? Well, I have no idea where you will go with that, but am excited to find out. I'll follow this one. Lucky is Clark that Rachel hadn't found more Green K to Show him or his secret could have been damaged :-) Thanks ^_^ And yeah, he is lucky she hadn't found more green. That would have been a very interesting scene.... Not in this story though :P So happy to see this story posted! Purple Kryptonite is a rare gem indeed. Thanks ^_^ Next part will be up shortly.

I think he's going to remember something Jor-El told him and it will produce a completely unexpected phenomena. "Lah grileshin himolkahm tal ahmetziolan esho shekyugam. Bahgakimolt eeyezish" indeed.
Apparently light rays - or specific colors - trigger his fugue episodes, so it's just a matter of time before Clark enters one when he's with Lois and she either grasps the truth or convinces herself that "It ain't possible for Clark to be Superman! I'm going crazy!" Be fun to read, though.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter of this fascinating tale. I can't wait until Superman starts speaking English with a Kryptonian accent (however that sounds). Keep 'em coming!
And yes, have a pleasant and very relaxing vacation.

Enjoying your new story. I especially like the continued use of the superhero meets small child and aww moment ensues trope. If it's a trope... dunno. Looking forward to the more frequent updates. Enjoy your getaway.

This is a fun story. Like Terry, I expect that Clark will sooner or later be influenced by the sun in Lois' presence. I'll make sure that I've got the popcorn ready by then. YAY

"Odd" is right. I got my wish, and we have more information now. I'm going to guess that Purple K is either some kind of long-term data storage or a teaching device from the Old Homestead. Whatever process the green and red K went through to make them affect Kryptonians also altered the purple K just enough to make it do a data dump. And it seems as if it's moving from simple (drawing solar influx) to complex (drawing a starship) to - what's next? He also seemed more aware of both his surroundings and his condition this time. I wonder if this data load will be a permanent thing. I also wonder how much it will affect his day-to-day life, especially when he zones out in front of Lois with the glasses on. (Surely that's coming, right? You can't tease us with that and not fulfill your destiny!) I'm ready for part 5. So? Is it up yet?

Rather hoping there'll be an 'oops, sorry I fell asleep on your couch, Chief' moment before he realises what he's wearing. Guess I'll find out tomorrow morning.

So, just read Part 2. Well, it seems like Kryptonians are different from humans in sleepwalking so that they can interact with others. Haha! And Superman still saves People while sleeping. Wow. the Scene with that Girl was nice. Although I can see Clark helping her with that painting even if he was awake. It also nicely Shows how children sometimes lack the awe or fear of adults from certain celibrities and so they just talk to them like the ordinary People they are. I like that. The whole "going to eat a cake" line kicked me over the edge into a good laugh, though. Just imagine Superman going into a Café and ordering some cake. Priceless. I guess it's only a matter of time until he will stumble about a certain Reporter in (of) his dreams. :-) EDIT: Just saw that there are already two new parts up. Wow, you are a fast updater. Will come to them later this day.
Up, up and away - to the next fanfic.

This is such a novel storyline. A playful Superman could only be surpassed by a playful Batman.
I await each chapter to see where you lead Clark next.
