Chapter 1 Ever since the near marriage to Lex Luthor, she’d been slowly waking up to the realisation that her feelings for her partner were much more than simple platonic friendship. She was also starting to realise the depth of those feelings. It was more than whatever she’d thought she’d felt for Superman. After all, Clark Kent was her best friend. He was the one person she trusted more than anyone in this world. And though she knew Superman to be the very embodiment of nobility, honour and integrity, he didn’t make her laugh the way Clark did. This is just such a ... delightfully simple (in a good way) *chef's kiss* description. And if she were honest with herself, she likely wouldn’t have volunteered the two of them had it not been for the thought of spending time in a place as romantic as Belfast with her partner. Honestly, this is a 10/10 Lois Lane plan. Things seem to go distractingly wrong in Metropolis... Gently, she nudged Clark awake and he sat up, almost knocking his glasses off his face once more. She suddenly wondered what he looked like without them and at the same time, something inside her told her she already knew, though for the life of her she couldn’t remember ever seeing him without them. Surely she must have. After all, they’d known each other for almost two full years. I love the vibe you're setting up here (and earlier) that she already knows. ...she just doesn't know she knows.  Chapter 2 (thank you for the chapter headers) “I apologise for my…partner,” he said, wondering why he hesitated on that word. Was it because they were on the verge of becoming more than partners? Or was it because by saying it that way, it already sounded as if they were? Ope! I love your Lois, holy cow. She sagged into him ever so slightly and he felt his body go warm at the accidental touch. Awwwww. Chapter 3 She was more than used to her partner getting this reaction from women, but the closer they got, the less she liked it.  Clark gave her a nervous glance and she realised that he was waiting to see what her reaction would be to this bit of news. Was it because it would mean the two of them would be sleeping in the same room? A strange thrill went through her at the thought, despite the travel. This is adorable. He thinks she's about to blow up and she's thinking about getting down. He's totally misreading her in such a fun way. “It’s alright,” she reassured him with a yawn. “I won’t bite. I’m too tired to.”  He sometimes felt like a parent keeping the secret of Santa for far longer than was strictly necessary. OMG, what an impossibly perfect analogy! “Well, we’ll just have to find one here,” Clark said, trying to find the bright side. I would never have thought of this. But it sure makes sense. Corruption in Glasgow! I'm sure if it's there, Lois will sniff it out. Or stumble into it! “Because you’re that irresistible?” She teased. Her eyes danced mischievously and he felt some of the tension lift. YES! Chapter 5 Still, she realised that her engagement with Lex had been rather chaste and she’d been happy to keep it that way. She hadn’t thought much of it at the time, but with Clark in such close proximity to her and the fact that they were sharing a bed, the contrast was startling. That's a great point about Lex. I know we all know what was going on there, but it's an interesting detail for her to turn over in her own mind. I can't pick a single line here, but Stewart and Gemma are SO utterly charming! Their gentle but direct advice is solid and seems to come from a place of such deep-rooted care! Something about the low timbre of his voice told Lois she couldn’t say no even if she wanted to. Dang, girl, get it. Chapter 6 ...walking through a winter-whitened Glasgow city centre.. This phrase is both evocative and just stunning from a wordsmith perspective. I loved the consonance so much that it distracted me and I had to go back and actually re-read the sentence for meaning. (Which is a compliment, not a negative.) “Did you find it?” She asked. “Home, I mean?”
“If you’re asking if I plan on leaving Metropolis, the answer is no,” he assured her. She sat up and gently brushed a stray curl of hair away from his forehead in a way that made his heart clench with love.
“I was asking if Metropolis felt like home.”
“No,” he said with a gentle shake of his head. He reached out and cupped her face in his hands, marveling at her beauty even in the darkness. “You do.”  I was going to comment on on the second sentence here but awwwwww it got so much better as I kept reading - and that's a great way to describe this whole story overall. It just gets better as you go along. It's deeply warm and fuzzy! And yes, hot, too, but I feel like that sweet, easy, affectionate banter vibe is so much harder to capture. Chapter 7 ...Bit of the Glaswegian sense of humour.” I love this story, but it's brilliant to include it here - it makes us feel like we know the city as well as you do. Chapter 8 And now that he had his answer, the lies felt like acid on his tongue. Yet somehow, he couldn’t bring himself to stop. Not when he had everything he wanted.
Not that he really had her. How could he, when she didn't truly know him? Thaaaaat is so hard to wrestle with. And this, set up by the nausea, is really clear and portentous. When they finally pulled apart, he fought the urge to tell her he loved her. Oh, Clark.  Like, if I read the names on the stone for that brief second those people live again, if only in my curiosity. I looove love love this detail. With her penchant for searching for immortality, this completely fits in. Chapter 9 Lois felt her heart twist a little at the realisation that he was proud of her. Another brilliant example of all the wonderful little internal 'firsts' you're capturing in an early relationship. Chapter 10 It was as if he’d discovered the most addictive drug in the world and his body and brain were now completely separate from one another. Such an apt description! And his has to feel crazier for Clark, who's never even had the effects of a small stimulant like coffee! “I don’t know what to say,” he finally said. “I don’t want to lie to you.” Oh, yikes is that the wrong thing to say!  Also, I knew the suit was in there - I knew he wasn't wearing it, that she was heading into his suitcase. And I did NOT see this coming! Well done. His hands shook slightly as he sat down on the bed, feeling the rumble of the Glasgow subway underneath. This is a genius little add-in, to have the ground shake as the foundation of their relationship is similarly shaken, as their emotions are quaking. I need you to know that today was the single most perfect day of my life. And if you never speak to me again, that won’t change.”
“I forgave you the moment you touched my hand,” she admitted. He felt his heart unclench. “I forgave you the moment you looked at me.”
“I love you,” he said. He hadn’t meant to say it. He certainly hadn’t planned on saying it and yet, he couldn’t stop the words from coming out of his mouth. “I have loved you since the moment I first saw you. And I know I shouldn’t tell you just yet. I know we only had one date, but I need you to know that.”
“I do know that,” Omg, this is another section where you just up the ante in Every Sentence. And it's just so sweet. “Somehow it’s more impressive without the suit,” she told him. I've never seen this articulated but I've totally felt this in every instance I've ever seen, comics, shows, movies.  Epilogue “I think that this is the best damn piece of writing I’ve seen from you two in a while.” Perry finished. Yay! I had not idea how much I was rooting for the Mars Bar story until this line hit! Lois shot Clark a meaningful look and he returned it with a smile that made her heart skip a beat. He’d flown to Glasgow that morning and come back with one. Ahhhh! That's TOO GOOD! “I’ll meet you there,” she assured him as he tugged at his tie. This was SO GOOD! It was such an incredible love story. We know these characters, but it really felt like getting to know them and falling in love with them all over again!

I really enjoyed the humour of this story. It felt as if you were there and the attention to detail as well as the set-up was really well done. The set up was done really well and the secondary characters were a lot of fun.
Given the length and the author's note at the bottom, I am going to guess: KSaraSara

I like that I could really feel like I was in Glasgow, in the rumbly hotel, in the snow-covered cemetery, and in the punky pub . The part where we learn about deep fried Mars bars made me feel like I want one . The part where Clark's friends correctly suss out that his mother made the suit was very entertaining . Guesses... Well, the author clearly has some considerable knowledge of the Scotts and Scotland, they use the Euro/Canadian spelling of "center", and take for granted that an American would know what a duvet is. So I can only conclude.... ...That these are incredibly well-plotted red herrings, because I'm sticking with my guess about which one LoveTVFan wrote. *G* I haven't guessed Carrie yet, so Carrie, Imma say this is you.

This is a wonderful description of Glasgow. I want to visit, though I'm not sure I want to try the Mars bars.
The whole setup was soooo romantic. I'm glad Clark managed to convince Lois to give Scotland a try. Really loved this piece.
My guess is that lovetvfan wrote this piece.
It's never too dark to be cool.

Hi Author, since this is the longest one, I'll have to get to it last. But from glancing at the title, I already got a good idea. Sorry, it's a gut feeling and the length precludes Queenie from being the author. And peeking at the style confirms my gut. Though good thinking, changing the dash-character to Bakasi's style! My guess: LoveTVFan Michael

Wow, so many layered details. I loved the unique places. So often, there are awesome hole-in-the-wall places that are overlooked and people really miss out. Glad Lois didn't miss out here  As for my guess, I think lovetvfan too.

Wow, what a fun Lois & Clark travel fic. The location was really vivid and I loved all the little details. I'm pretty sure the author has been there to write it like that. ALso, we have sympatheitc OC's, lots of waff, fun interactions (and more) between L&C, AND a reveal and all that in one story. Myum, I approve! (And now I'm kida curious for that fried mars bars, too.)
Guesses...I'm rather sure this one is KSaraSAra. The tone is very similar to her Ficathon bit from 2(?) years ago, the whole Pearl Jam thing, and just...it feels very SAra-esque. So, log that in!
Up, up and away - to the next fanfic.

“What, is Pearl Jam playing here too?” Not here while they were not only sharing a hotel room, but a bed as well Another 'only one bed!' The obvious author is LoveTVfan, but I'm guessing KSaraSara. Or that could all be a wonderfully crafted red herring. I did enjoy the Glass Tiger lyrics at the end (A Canadian based band, the song featuring a London born - but of Scottish heritage -, Rod Stewart).

This was beautiful. Given the title, I expected them to ride on a train at somepoint, though I guess the subway under the hotel counts.
I've never been to Scotland (never been outside the States really except to the Bahamas) so I loved getting a glimpse into what it's like there (not the touristy stuff either).
Lots of fun here - snowed in (sort of), only one bed, first date, really great OCs. I enjoy reading other dialects - it helps me to sort of hear their accents in my head.
I've never had a deep fried mars bar but I get deep fried snickers every year at the county fair and they are just melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Yummy!
I love how the revelation turned out. Clark showing off with his powers was so cute.

This story is beautiful. I don't have time for more quotes, but... “I love you,” he said. He hadn’t meant to say it. He certainly hadn’t planned on saying it and yet, he couldn’t stop the words from coming out of his mouth. “I have loved you since the moment I first saw you. And I know I shouldn’t tell you just yet. I know we only had one date, but I need you to know that.” AWWWWW OMG LOVE THIS!!! 😍 Beautiful declaration. And a simple revelation; love it. “Somehow it’s more impressive without the suit,” she told him. It was a simple admission but it meant the world to him.
“Well then, expect me to use my powers as much as possible if it will impress you,” he vowed. GAHHHH YESSSS! ahhh My guess: lovetvfan

Wait, this *was* LoveTVFan? Aha, so you impersonated yourself! A clever double-bluff!
And Ahhhhhhhh, this fic was amazing! You really made me feel like I was there, and I loved all the OCs, and I have got to try a deep fried Mars Bar now! Thank you so much!!! <3

It was such an incredible love story. We know these characters, but it really felt like getting to know them and falling in love with them all over again! I know this is a lot to include in the quote but I just need to say thank you for ALLLL of this lovely feedback. Glasgow is a place I love deeply and having lived there for a year and visited more times than I can count, it feels like another home to me. And when I got Queenie's prompts, I was torn at first because part of me thought: hey great I can totally have them go to Glasgow, but then another part of me worried that too many people would know it was me. Ultimately I decided it didn't matter and the story was a hell of a lot of fun to write. The stuff Lois says about why she loves graveyards is exactly the same way I feel. I was going for a time travel feel and you totally got it because that's how I feel whenever I touch something incredibly old. Like it's the only way we can ever travel back. Stewart, Gemma, Rob and Rachel were all based off real people, and the Rufus was where I met my husband so all of this was pretty fun for me. Thanks again for all this feedback!

My guess is that lovetvfan wrote this piece. Thank you! And definitely visit Scotland if you ever get the chance. Most people love Edinburgh because of how gorgeous and touristy it is, but the real Scotland is in Glasgow (and the Highlands) in my opinion. I got the idea when I was searching for something newsworthy to write on for the date of March 9th (as I wanted to set this roughly shortly after The Phoenix) and my friend told me that was the date of the invention of the Deep Fried Mars bar as well as the Queen's first visit to Northern Ireland since the ceasefire. I thought that it would be funny to mix the two and this somehow happened. Thanks again!

Hi Author, since this is the longest one, I'll have to get to it last. But from glancing at the title, I already got a good idea. Sorry, it's a gut feeling and the length precludes Queenie from being the author. And peeking at the style confirms my gut. Though good thinking, changing the dash-character to Bakasi's style! My guess: LoveTVFan Michael Ha ha! You got me! Your detective skills are excellent LOL

Wow, so many layered details. I loved the unique places. So often, there are awesome hole-in-the-wall places that are overlooked and people really miss out. Glad Lois didn't miss out here As for my guess, I think lovetvfan too. Yup! You got me LOL. And the Rufus is an awesome place. It was the first pub I ever went to when I first visited Scotland. I just thought it would be fun to put them here and see what happened LOL Thanks!

Wow, what a fun Lois & Clark travel fic. The location was really vivid and I loved all the little details. I'm pretty sure the author has been there to write it like that. ALso, we have sympatheitc OC's, lots of waff, fun interactions (and more) between L&C, AND a reveal and all that in one story. Myum, I approve! (And now I'm kida curious for that fried mars bars, too.)
Guesses...I'm rather sure this one is KSaraSAra. The tone is very similar to her Ficathon bit from 2(?) years ago, the whole Pearl Jam thing, and just...it feels very SAra-esque. So, log that in! BWA HA HA HA HA! Nope, it was me! But I totally get how this might have been confusing, as KSaraSara's fic from two years ago had her in Canada and I "consulted" a bit on that one LOL. The Deep Fried Mars bar is...interesting. And oddly not the weirdest food you'll find there (I found deep fried pizza to be even more bizarre). I lived there for a year so you're right that there is personal experience involved in this one.

As for the Glass Tiger lyrics, Alan Frew (the lead singer of GT) is from Coatbridge, Scotland (just half an hour away from Glasgow). If you watch the video for the song, you'll see it was not only filmed in Glasgow, but features many of the locations in the song as well as two footballers that played for Rangers, Alan's favourite team (as well as my husband's) so it felt like the right song for it. There are versions of the song without Rod Stewart also which is interesting.
