Corrina.

PS - thanks for the good wishes re my anniversary.

Weeeeee! Lovely part. I love the heat between them. I sure hope you will indulge us with an nfic version of their first time. I was trying to figure out if they had used tongues for a while until you finally mentioned that they didn't. How does one kiss for a long period of time without using them I wonder. I don't think that has been the case with me since I was 13...No not even then. I think once initiated a kiss got deeper fairly quickly. It seems a bit of a tease but maybe things are different down under? Anyway it was very old fashioned in a way, but nice. I think my parents may have kissed that way until the honeymoon, but that was in the 1940's. I suppose different cultures kiss differently. Interesting though.

And the Tantalizing Cliffhanging Queen of Evil strikes again!

(just kidding. The chapter is great.)

Wowwww that was so gooooddddd.

Can't wait to see Clark get down to the business, lol

Another great part

This was really good! I really love this new Clark

Happy to see that it isn't easy for Lois to keep dodging his questions and that she feels a little guilty and apprehensive about telling him about the cell. I do understand her wanting to wait a bit so that there is enough good experiences/memories for Clark to draw from once he knows/remembers.

Eagerly waiting for Tuesday/Wednesday!

And have a great weekend! (Hope the Hawks win!!!)

I was reading on another board about the sort of overall mythos of the Lois/Clark/Superman relationship. And one key element that is very strong in your Lois is this:

It's through Lois' eyes that the world often firsts meet Superman, and it's her faith in him that helps the world embrace him. I think this is an even more important theme in this universe because Clark had (maybe it won't come back!) a real lack of faith in himself due to his circumstances. So Lois is needed more than ever to support and help him become the Superman he's meant to be -- in whatever context that eventually ends up being for this story.

Well done as always!

Another great part. Very sweet and oh so romantic. Loving this no-bad-memories, go-for-it Clark. Also love how he's still a gentleman even though he knows she'd have no objections to going further.

Happy Anniversary!

Still enjoying the ride. Slow and steady, romance building. You have more paitence as a writer than I do.

I'm still worried that it's all going to backfire on poor Lois when he finds out about the money and her old job (i.e. guard).

You'd think he'd have more questions about them having slept together, but never having kissed. I can see him getting no sleep just pondering that whole dilema.

If you have to leave us for a week (sure, give your anniversary higher priority than our reading ), this is the perfect place to leave us. In fact, this whole chapter was perfect! There wasn't a single thing that even brought out a second of doubt in me. Amazing, fabulous job.

I doubt it's a country/culture difference. It's probably just me - my kids aren't even allowed a boy/girlfriend until they are 17!

I've always liked that Clark is a little bit old-fashioned.

Until I joined this fandom, I would have thought that was a terrible insult. Now, I know better! Thanks!

Seme Clark getting down to business? Do you mean being Superman?

DW

One of the reasons why the cell needed to be so bad (and hence have such a devastating effect on Clark) was so we could all enjoy the contrast with this Clark.

We did! This was the fifth time I have travelled to Adelaide to watch Hawthorn play, and my first ever win the 'City of Churches'.

MM I agree - Clark has the powers, but Lois is needed to turn those powers into Superman. That seems to be true in many versions of this story.

Jackie Re 'no-bad-memories, go-for-it Clark' - great description, and see reply to DW.

VirginiaR Patience - I actually try to move the story forward quickly. Then I find myself staring at the computer screen, feeling totally lost, and realise that I've left a hole in the wall and I need to go back and fill it.

Kathy Re Clark's attempts - having never had amnesia, I was at a bit of a loss as to how his mind would work. What would he wonder about? There's a whole lifetime to explore, so what would he think about first? Which questions would he ask first? In some ways, I thought it might be a bit like starting a huge jigsaw puzzle - different people might start in different places, a block of pieces might come together, but for a while, it's not easy to know where they fit overall - then things slowly start to fall into place as connections are made.

I'm glad that Clark's journey through the unknown (for him) seems realistic.

Michael Seems like you got a few

Part 7 is up. Part 8 will either be tonight (if I get a chance to work on TMTY today) or tomorrow morning.
