That's really interesting, Nan. I always like fics where Lois knows. It's fascinating to think of her watching Clark/Superman from a distance, trying to figure him out.
What I wonder about is Clark's reaction to her, previous to the Nightfall incidence. In the show, so much of the confusion and heartache happened because Clark was totally smitten by Lois, whereas Lois was totally smitten by Superman, and Clark resented Lois's Superman fixation, and Lois disapproved of Clark's jealousy of Superman.
I have to wonder, along with Lois, why this particular Clark chose to keep his civilian identity. I think I have to agree with Lois: it has to have been for reasons of privacy. It doesn't seem likely to me that this Clark was smitten by Lois, and that he kept his Clark identity because he wanted to court Lois as Clark. Surely Lois would have noticed it if Clark was so in love with her?
Well, this fic is called Lessons. I guess that in the next chapter, Lois will teach Clark a lesson about who he is, and then Clark will teach Lois a lesson about who he is.
