So... what do you think now?

Beautiful. Perfect.


This passage brought (happy) tears to my eyes.

And oh how this already is changing Lois! I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this story... and hoping it's soon.

Victoria,

This has a bit of the concept that Ken is working through with Lois and Clark getting married in GGGOH and how that would impact the remainder of the season 1 episodes. And I am loving that set of stories of course. Does this go back to Virginia's challenge or was this in the mill before that?

Can't wait to see where/how you take it from here as since Lois will know Clark is for her the first time she sees him (the reverse of the time honored Clark falling for Lois as soon as he sees her). How will she work the process, will Clark get scared, will she/when will she tell him about Lane's visit and their future, and of course since she knows she will live to be 97 will she be even more of a risk taker than usual?

This story series has me VERY excited!

This to me was the kernel of the story that will make the remainder of the series really work for me.

And of course the final setup...

Thanks

Mike

Hmmm. Will Lois gaining Lane's love and admiration for Clark change how she reacts in the future, either prior to or when meeting Clark? Will she search for him before arrives in Metropolis? Will she be better prepared to avoid the likes of Paul and Claude? Will knowing that there is some man out there who will love her change her personality any (i.e. will she lose her edge)? Will she be (gasp) disappointed that this bespectacled farmboy is HIM? Will it cause her to make him jump through more hoops? Will she be more likely to recognize Superman on site as Clark and accidentally out him? Oh, the possibilities are endless! Great set up.

Along with the others, I loved the words of love Lois felt with Lane's memories. Awwwww. I really liked how you showed that this was a new feeling for Lois that kind of surprises and overtakes her. Can't wait to see what you have lined up next for these characters. I'll bet it will be fun.

A proper end to the beginning. Let's watch them fall in love all over again ... (Happy sigh!)

Beautiful! I am loving the story and am so excited for the next installment to start up. It is such an interesting and unique start to the story we all love. Really excited to see where you take us ...

Lois' feelings already for her future husband are so touching. Wonderfully written, KK

Super excited!

I'm hooked and eager for the full story to follow.

I especially liked the passage:

The parallel structure really worked well in enhancing the already high amount of WAFF.

So, is Lois going to react to Clark the way S1 canon-Lois did to Superman (i.e., behaving like a schoolgirl with her first crush), and, if so, will that put Clark off a bit? After all, one of the things that seemed to attract canon-Clark to her is her fire. If he doesn't see that side of her because she is all googly-eyes in his presence, will he react to her with the same fervor as canon-Clark?

Obviously, since the next story is longer than this one, they can't just "click" from the start. Maybe Lois will have a negative reaction to Clark's double life and, more importantly, to his keeping a secret from her? (She will, after all, realize from the get-go that CK=S.) Or will she put two and two together at Superman's debut and call him by name when he swallows the bomb? That would certainly cause Clark to panic.

There are a lot of ways that this story can develop but, given that it is a KK story, we know that it will end well.

Looking forward to the ride in between.

Joy,

I liked this story!
Can we have another?

Queenie,

Rest assured, there is another. This was the setup for the main story. You will not be disappointed.

I guess it could ... but - in my mind - there's only one way ... and you'll get to see it soon.

Well, she couldn't exactly deny it once she got Lane's memories!

Thank you very much.

Thanks

Good, it was supposed to.

It should be soon. I have six chapters finished, but at least 3 more to go.

The scene which playing in my mind to set the whole thing going was added to my plot lists way over a year ago, before Virginia's challenge and before Ken's story. When he finished posting GGGoH I was a little surprised at his twist. Anyway, the inspiration to finally write out this scene came over me a few months ago, except it ended up being a bit longer than I expected!!!!

I'm hoping this series will be significantly different from Ken's ... I don't want to duplicate his work, and you'd all be pretty bored. But there is a good chance it will be different as Lois has all these memories from the very beginning of their acquaintance.

I hope you all like that idea! Although, I'm not sure if I class it as a true reversal, because that would mean Clark being indifferent - or worse than indifferent - to Lois.

Lots of questions. Most will be answered in the next story.

Thanks. Hope I can live up to your expectations.

You will need to read the follow up to get the answer to all these questions.

Thanks. I wanted Lois to fully integrate Lane's memories and feelings, not fight them, so I'm glad that worked.

Yeah. I'm hoping for lots of love between the two of them.

I'm excited too. This story has grown so much bigger than my first idea.

Oh yeah. Lois is completely overwhelmed by her feelings already.

Thank you.

Me too. I'm eager to start posting. But I'm worried that I wouldn't keep up with writing and then you'd have to wait while I caught up.

Yeah, it's lovely. *sigh*

I like that idea - Lois being a 'Clark Kent groupie' rather than a 'Superman groupie'.

Well, we will just have to see.

It would. I'm sure I've read a couple of short vignettes to the effect of Lois recognizing Clark at that point.

Hmm. Seems I've got a reputation now ... everyone knows that I like happy endings!

Hope you enjoy it.

Yup.

Thanks Ken.

And as Ken has seen as far as chapter six you can trust his word!

Ken is such a tease. can't wait.

We always think of Lois being driven and go-getting about her internship at the Planet - but I like how you show her fears and the temptation to just not apply. Everyone has to overcome that feeling of "I can't". Lois was fortunate enough to get her older self's memories which gave her all the gumption she needed.
