Oh, this is a good one

I love the way you've conveyed so much of Lois' (and, by observation) Clark's feelings/insecurities all intertwined in playful banter and the internal dialogue is just so Lois!

Do I see a sequel on the horizon?

I liked it. Its very cute. I always enjoyed that episode of Friends...where Ross was like, "She's just not Rachael." I liked how you tied in the different shows into the fic. It made it very real and amusing at the same time.

Definately a sequel required, I loved this story.

This is a very sweet story, and your Lois is "very Lois" and your Clark is "very Clark". I loved this:

That is a wonderful, lovely, very sweet way for Clark to say "I love you".

Beautiful!

I loved it too. I could really imagine it being played out. The dialogue was very Lois and Clark. It was so sweet and so them at that time, the way they danced around what they really wanted to say. And it was so true to Clark that he would struggle to find any cons for Lois and would hate having to say anything bad about anyone. Well, except Lex. I really liked the list he came up with for himself though.

It was fun and touching at the same time. Very engaging and entertaining A wonderful idea!

You definitely left us wanting more.

Funny little interlude They're cute together and here, too, is hoping for a sequel

I love stories that fit easily into the timeline of the show without making any changes. Beautifully done, even if they never reached their own happily ever after.


Elisabeth

Loved it! Like Emma said, it left me wanting more. A very sweet and insightful slice of life.

Thanks so much for all the lovely comments! This story was the first in a long time that really felt "good" if that makes any sense. What I mean, really, is that it took no thought - as I wrote each line, I felt like I could "see" what they were going to do next. But of course,when that happens, I always worry that I wasn't seeing things correctly, and it won't seem very Lois and Clark-like to others, so I'm so glad to hear it did.

I have to say, I'm not much of a Ross and Rachel fan, so I'm not much of a fan of that episode (although in re-watching it, it was funnier than I remembered), but there's something so sweet about Ross' "She's not Rachel" line that it got my muse going. And I couldn't think of a way to steal the idea directly without ending with the same line (Clark choosing Lois over Mayson as Mayson isn't Lois or Lois choosing Clark over Dan as Dan isn't Clark). I guess I shouldn't be too surprised I can't think of a better line than professional writers.

I'm so excited that many of you liked it enough to want a sequel, but I don't see one for this. I think Elisabeth puts this nicely - this fits into the timeline of the show in my head without any changes. So, shortly after this evening of TV watching together is "Lucky Leon" and Lois and Clark go on their first date, share their first kiss, etc.

On the other hand, there are still many, many episodes of Friends left, so who knows what ideas will be sparked?

I read this the other day, but didn't have time to leave FDK.

I really enjoyed it - really enjoyed the to and fro of their dialogue. The foundations of their relationship are just beginning to form.

You got their hopes/insecurities across so well.

Well done.
