Comments please KatherineKent/Victoria Lois: "You put up with me for the same reason I put up with you. It's because I'm completely in love with you." Clark: "And I love you ... Did we just make up?" Lois: "I think so."

I had heard many times that if you want your kids to value reading, you should let them see you read, so I figured the same thing applied to writing. She started with Harry Potter stories, and she quickly learned to value the mechanics, which she had scoffed at before, after having a story or two rejected for being so sloppy in grammar, spelling, etc. She's twenty now, and she still writes. This is my happily ever after.

She could have moved the mistletoe over to the doorway, and then invited Clark over. I liked it as it is, though, from season 1 when Lois really was invested in getting Superman to notice her while ignoring Clark. This piece really worked for that time period. You can find my stories as Groobie on the nfic archives and Susan Young on the gfic archives. In other words, you know me as Groobie.

I wondered if Clark had returned to the Planet yet or if he was still on his hiatus due to resigning after Superman left. I'm guessing that this is before the events that happened during Witness, which drew Lois and Clark closer. A part of me wonders if there will be sequel should Clark and Lois notice a mistletoe hanging above the same window while listening to carolers the next Christmas. VirginiaR.

Quote Mistletoe in the Window SUPERMAN: She does seem a bit desperate for alien attentions… Quote Mistletoe. In the window. What did it mean? Had she hung it there on purpose, or unintentionally. Possibly the window frame was the only place she could reach to put it. Right. Lois is unaware of the concept of a ‘ladder’. LOIS: So, either I’m desperate or stupid? Thanks. Thanks a lot. What? Should we call her a scheming vixen instead? Quote Clark knew that it was no coincidence. Lois was hoping for a kiss from Superman. Advertising it like only an employee in the red light district could. Quote Lois had been short, and a bit cruel, to him - to Clark - earlier today, and he was in need of a smile from her. Oh, look! A matching pair. Quote Maybe she deserved a little kiss after fighting so hard to exonerate him recently. Her tireless investigation into the issue of the heat-wave had saved him from a life of loneliness and despair. Ah, Season One it is! Quote Maybe she should just let him speak. Let him say what he came to say, and then leave. Yes, that would be a much better idea. She wouldn't feel quite as nervous, and wouldn't make a fool out of herself, either. Wouldn’t that be awkward, them not kissing because she’s shy and he’s not feeling entitled to instigating it? Quote "Do … do you celebrate Christmas on Krypton?" she enquired, then immediately answered the question herself. Yes, the tradition is universal, solving the mystery just how the belief in a single god and aliens can co-exist. Quote "I know about Christmas. I know all the different traditions and where they came from, what they mean." Isn’t he adorable? Rubbing her face in his nerdness? Quote He was telling her that he knew what all the Christmas traditions meant … including the tradition of the mistletoe hanging above his head. Oh. Right. Duh! Quote If he lingered any longer then Lois would get the wrong idea about his feelings for her. Well, actually she would get the right idea about his feelings … but the wrong idea about his intensions. I think she’d get the right idea about his intentions, too. Well…his desires. Quote He couldn't let those desires start to use some more twisted logic to persuade himself that he could actually be with her. Quote Clark liked her. Clark would probably let her kiss him under the mistletoe if his came over. Quote Maybe she'd invite him over after work tomorrow. Or maybe Superman would visit again and maybe there would be more kisses some time in the future. Sounds to me like she’s doubling down on getting more kisses either way Michael Join us on the #loisclark Discord server! We talk about fanfic, our favorite show, life, and more!

Clark was...the afterthought. You demonstrate that really well with this story . While I'd love to read about Clark coming over...ending up under that mistletoe --I do, also, really like where you ended it. Thanks for sharing! Laura "Where's Clark?" "Right here." ...two simple sentences--with so much meaning. ~Lois and Clark in 'House of Luthor'~
