Haven't read yet but:

New chapter

oh my G-d oh my G-d oh my G-d

I really like how past Lois is noticing that future Clark is upset because he misses his Lois.

And I love how she was deterimined to find out about her relationship with Clark through investigation. That's so Lois!
It worries me though, that she knows so much about her future. That can be dangerous.

And Lex Luthor is dead. Is that good thing or not?

Wow Sue
Nice chapter but I wonder how you're going to fix that.

Gretchen killed Lex... interesting but Flois is right that detail is going to change everything.

Poor Flark he misses his wife.

Wow! What a cliffhanger. This truly does change everything. Wedding plans are certainly changed, if nothing else.

Wow, great chapter. Can't wait for hte next instllment.

There is a school of thought among time travel theorists that if one travels into the past and changes it sufficiently, not only is a separate future created, one's original future becomes inaccessible forever. If that's true, maybe future-Lois has now blocked herself off from future-Clark forever, past-Lois must now somehow learn to be her own future self, and future-Lois must learn to live in own past - one which is no longer her own.

And how can she tell Clark that she's messed up her life - no, their lives? How will he deal with the information about himself that she can give him that she would have no way of knowing in 1995? Beginning, of course, with his other identity, but also including knowledge of future events and her sudden weight loss. Surely someone will notice, just as someone other than Clark will eventually notice that Mrs. Kent is filling out her blouses and skirts a bit more impressively now.

I'm not sure even H. G. Wells can help them now. Maybe the only ones who can are the timecops in Utopia. Just as long as they don't send Andrus.

To quote a classmate of mine during one of Professor Brown's lectures: I hate temporal mechanics.

Terry, Andrus is at that MASH reunion...

/end whispers/

Oh my. Great story. What on earth was Wells trying to fix?

/me cackles with glee

The only thing more fun than reading one's FDK is seeing the theories that the readers come up with. This might be a good time to reiterate the little caution I put at the beginning of the story about how this is going to be fluffity fluff fluff with no actual A-plot. There is (perhaps) the barest semblance of plot in why Wells switched the Loisi and, while I will be offering a semi-scientific hypothesis later, I would caution you against examining it with any kind of strong light.

Points to Terry, though, for coming closest to picking up on upcoming plot. Rest assured, there is no Andrus in this story.

Thanks for sticking with me you guys. It means the world to me to see you're still following the story.

Hoooly crap.

Just to add to Terry's evil stream of time travel theory, does anybody imagine the world changing in 1998 right around past-Lois and future-Clark's very eyes?

Great part,
JD

OOoooo like the end of Frequency?!?!?

I have extremely little time, but I may come back for more later.

I loved how 1995 Lois and 1998 Clark did their best to, well - cohabitate? Coexist? Just work together? I loved how you brought out Lois's confusion and feeling of unreality, and how overwhelmed and weirded out she still was by the thought that she was married to Superman. I loved how she was reassured by Clark's admission that the two of them argued occasionally. And I felt so sorry for Clark, too, and his realization of what he may have lost forever.

I loved that plucky Lois would come to work, no matter what! But then, Clark is the same. Didn't he come to work when he had amnesia and had no idea that he was a reporter?

The title - Ricochet. That ricochet could be the fallout of Lex's death, right? The ricochet is the bullet that killed him?

Ann

Too tired to post hubby is back in the hospital but Sue this was a wonderful treat tonight.

Oh CP33 sorry to hear about your husband in the hospital! Wow you've had a tough month!

Sue that was a great ride. I like the roller coaster you have us on. I am sure no matter how this turns out, that we haven't gone up or down the steepest part of the ride yet. Can't wait! Weeeeeeee...! Laura

Love the story!

No clones and kidnapping, right? But Lois98 is right, her future just changed. Would Clark95 think her dismay or sadness at the turn of events is loss over Lex?

I can't help thinking what impact this would have on their joint Kerth award.. the Kryptonian invasion story. If there is no Lex, it's reasonable to assume that L&C got married the first time right? Or...

Let's say the New Kryptonians came after L&C were already married.. what would/wouldn't happen this time around?

Just speculating. Maybe we are going to see something else entirely... Looking fwd..

Uh-oh. Lois has made a major change. What does is means to her future? 'Flark' (Hehe... love that ) isn't having new memories so it means 'Flois' has created a new timeline? Did I say MORE?

Andreia

Well, that changes things...

I love how in the Lois & Clark universe one can write a story in which a main plot device is time travel and it still be called fluff!

Eager for more!
