Hi everyone. Sorry that it's taken my so long to get back to you. I hope this wasn't too much fluff but it was what I got out of that song. As I said several times, this was all about capturing that song in a LnC short. Not a lot of depth, (which was hte reason I kept refusing delivery from my muse) but it was what was in the song.
Deadly Chakram:
That's so Clark. Ever the Boy Scout.
That X-Ray vision can come in handy.
Thanks for the feedback.
Lynn:
WAFFy - It's what I do.
Laura:
...she was dreaming in part 4 but I liked the reality of part 5 much better.
Me too!
Artemis:
Give your UPS man a chocolate chip cookie next time he rings the doorbell! Maybe that will get you one of the other stories.
Believe it or not I got a delivery while I was standing on top of a ladder painting a section of the ceiling this past weekend. The problem is that it is only the very beginning of a story that could go a lot of different ways. Now I'm back to waiting for another delivery. I've even thought about posting only the beginning, but we'll see.
Iolanthe:
by definition, almost any story about politicians deals with sewage.
I didn't notice the connection before, but I suspect that my subconscious did.
HappyGirl:
Thank you. And thank you for all your help - and for the Chocolate Chip waffles!
AntiKryptonite:
Great ending! I adored the slow progression from remembering holding hands in the dream to actually holding hands to the hug to the kiss. Great way to show the progression of their relationship on a physical level.
Thank you so much.
Framework4:
Please consider a sequel or at least an epilogue, after all Clark still needs to own up to moonlighting in tights.
I will admit that this particular story leaves that out. To be honest, I feel like a sequel would have to be based on another song. If I find one - or one finds me - then it will happen.
Corrina:
Thank you. I'm happy that you liked it. Now I need to find the time and go read TMTY. (I am SO far behind on what I want to read!)
Vicki:
I always enjoy your stories, and this one was no exception.
Thank you. I hope I can keep it up.
Virginia R:
Bad girl, trying to swoop in on Lois's turf. Good thing she retreated when Lois came forward. Wise move.
I think Jamie and Clark both exercised some good decision making in this situation.
mozartmaid:
I kept expecting the blonde to turn out to be Mayson
I don't think Mayson would have retreated as gracefully. Hmmm... I think I see a story idea.
DW:
This was so cute! I thoroughly enjoyed every part!
Thank you.
BJ:
It was refreshing to see Lois check the water level before leaping in.
I guess that wasn't typical Lois, was it? Well, it worked.
Michael:
Of course, now they're going to wonder what the reason for the sudden increase in PDA is. Did they move in together? Has he proposed? Is Lois pregnant?
Now that would be an interesting sequel...
Thank you all so much for your kind words.
Bob
