Quote "Some fluff piece you wouldn't like," he replied, looking slightly embarrassed. He moved his notebook to the other side of his keyboard. "Oh, come on, what are you hiding?" she asked, her curiosity piqued. Lois reached for the notebook, but Clark moved it again, out of her reach. "I told you. It's just a fluff piece." He sighed, seeing her raised eyebrows. "For Valentine's Day," he admitted. Oh, Clark. Trying to be evasive or secretive is the best way to interest Lois. I won't quote it, but Lois's message to Clark was beautiful. /me sighs happily. BJ

And I am amazed that Saskia could be in some way involved in something so un-evil Love fluff pieces; there aren't nearly enough lately (say 5 or 6 a day would be nice, so all of you writers out there, get workin' ) Cris

While stories often make me think, it’s very rare for me to still be thinking about the story the next day. There were lots of little moments in this story that played out perfectly in my head – where I could actually see the characters as if this was an episode and not a story. Here’s a few of my faves: Clark was there, too, a pencil in his mouth, typing furiously. For whatever reason, I just love Clark chewing on his pencils and pens. There aren’t many stories with that little detail, which just makes it sweeter when I see it. In my mind, his shirtsleeves were rolled up, too. He stopped typing barely long enough to give her a surprised look. "Fake? Why would any of them be fake?" "Well, some of the anonymous ones are just way too... out there," she explained. "You know?" "Doesn't mean they're not real, Lois," he offered. There’s another part I can see perfectly in my mind. I love it when Clark is hopelessly romantic and Lois lets her cynicism show. After reading a few posts, several of which she could easily have convinced herself might had been written for her, Lois decided it would be better for her sanity to read notes from a different folder. One where she couldn't jump to silly conclusions from reading love notes. One where reading posts wouldn't leave her feeling strangely lonely and heartbroken. And this is why I love Lois’ cynicism – it’s there to disguise that she’s also a hopeless romantic. I loved the entire note to Superman/Clark. I’ve thought about it over and over again, imagining his thoughts and expression as he read it. And, finally, your closing image has stayed with me. I’ve replayed it countless times in my imagination, thinking about what happens next. Does she turn around? Does he kiss her? This was a very moving and beautiful story. Thank you so much for posting it. "There are lots of people who can be clever with words, which is different from being right with them." Anne Enright

Feel free to write us some fluff any time. ~Kristen Joey: If he doesn't like you, then this is all just a moo point. Rachel: A moo point? Joey: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion, you know, it just doesn't matter. It's "moo." Rachel: Have I been living with him for too long, or did that all just make sense?

Saskia - yep, it's your fault, cause I'm not a big fan of Valentine's Day either... and I totally wasn't planning to write a story for the occasion. nepenthe - I should have thought to add it to the description, but for the record, in my head, his shirtsleeves are rolled up, too. <hugs> all around and huge thanks for your comments!

And like I told you when I first read the actual message she sends, I love, love, love this. I think the reason is because Lois uses her great love -- words, and by extension, writing -- to tell Clark how she feels. It's so fitting, given both her personality and her profession. Quote He frowned and flipped a few pages of his notebook back and forth. "I'm not sure how much longer I'll be," he told her. "You'll just be wasting time, hanging around here." He must be realllyyyyy uncomfortable about the "story" he is working on for him to not want her to hang around. Gee Clark, she's practically begging you to spend the evening with her, and you're too dense to notice! Quote "Come on, Clark, candy hearts don't exactly win Kerths," she commented, giving him a disbelieving look. I'm glad you decided to use this! And I think it fits well … it sounds very Lois. Amused and arrogant at the same time, because you can bet your sweet chumpy she wouldn't bother doing the "assignment" if Perry had given it to her; she'd probably tell him to take a candy heart and stick it up his ... Quote "Well, I just thought it would be fun to do." He shrugged, though he had a fairly embarrassed expression on his face. I love that a mere question from Lois can make the Man of Steel embarrassed. Never mind that he parades around in a spandex suit that shows off his … uh … candy hearts. Quote "You're serious?" He frowned at her. Was she really offering to help? On a fluff piece that she normally wouldn't get within twenty feet of? Who was this woman and what had she done with the real Lois Lane? She's willing to help him on a fluff piece? Ha! Lois is in love, Lois is in love! But can you blame her? And a good choice on her part, may I add. If I had to pick between the Pulitzer and Clark, well, it would be a hard choice, but in the larger scheme of things, the award wouldn't keep me warm at night. Quote She'd lost count of the number of times she had rolled her eyes, shook her head and just plain laughed at the entries and their replies. Ahh, you make the girl fall in love, but you can't take the cynic out of the girl. Quote One where reading posts wouldn't leave her feeling strangely lonely and heartbroken. Aww. I like this. It fits in well with Lois hating the holidays, and also the fact that under all of her cynicism, she really is a romantic, and a lonely one at that. Quote All but the last three messages had been answered. And just a few minutes ago, even. This meant that that Superman was out somewhere in Metropolis right now, reading messages that people were leaving for him. And answering them, too. I love that he would take the time to answer love letters. He's a darn nice guy. Quote It would explain so many things, however, Lois realized. The reason why she'd never, ever, seen Clark and Superman together, even though they claimed to be close friends. Why Clark had felt an urgent need to leave Metropolis, during the heat wave last year. How he'd suffered memory loss inexplicably, when Superman had gone missing after colliding with the Nightfall asteroid. And it would so easily explain why he kept walking out on her, abandoning her in the middle of a conversation sometimes, with the worst possible excuses known to man. I love her reasoning process, and the scenarios that come to mind. And I love that she figured it out so easily, on her own. Quote Clark, her mild-mannered partner, the guy who brought her coffee in the morning, listened to her whenever she went off on some crazy tangent... The guy who walked her home when she left the Planet late at night, the guy who held her when she cried after some lunatic tried to kill her - again. Awww. I love this. She can't be that mad, because look at how great he is to her as Clark, never mind everything he has done for her as Superman. Quote Of course he was Superman. He couldn't not be. I love this because she wants him to be! I have read so many stories where she is sooo angry and determined that he couldn't be Superman, that she couldn't be that blind. This is a nice change. Quote If I could turn back time, start over again, I wouldn't push you away like I did that afternoon in the park. I'd tell you that I love you, right then and there. For everything that you are. No ifs. No buts. I'll wait until you're ready to tell me what I already know. I could be wrong - I hope I'm not. Please tell me that I'm right, and that it's really you. Lara, damn you! Making me teary at WORK! There is no crying in newspapers! Quote She turned a corner and stopped, leaning back against the wall, eyes closed and heart still pounding in her chest. I can picture this so well. She's standing in this slightly darkened hall, her heart pounding, her nerves on alert, her legs about to give out with fear … anticipation … mortification. It really encompasses how Lois deals with these things. Quote "You're right," he said, against her ear. "And I love you, too." Awwww! I love the ending. It's so simple, and so beautiful! Clark: "You don't even know the meaning of the word 'humility,' do you?" Lois: "Never had a need to find out its meaning." "Curiosity... The Continuing Saga"
