FDK: So Close 1/1 - 12/03/07 04:24 AM
So I'm more into erotic sizzling and happy endings, but this was sad and sweet, Laura.
And welcome back! I've missed you!

But it'd be nice if you write a sequel - a happy sequel.
I can't see Clark go out dejected, especially during Christmas.

I'm glad the movie "Enchanted" pushed you to write this! I'm dying to see that movie 
but I have to wait untill the 13th 
Anyway,... beautiful story!!
I loved how they danced together and how she was mumbling the song against his chest.
and the last line was so beautiful!! A bit sad (or actually a lot!), but beautiful

With her head buried against his chest, he didn’t even feel the single tear that dropped against his suit jacket.

Are you working on the sequel? 
Re: FDK: So Close 1/1 - 12/04/07 06:53 AM
Hmm.... Now that you mention it, it probably COULD be added onto. BUT NO PROMISES. 
I had a hard enough time making myself write that little guy. *shakes muse* But I'll try and work on it later.

But, but...Christmas is supposed to be a *happy* time. For Clark of all people!
Excellent story, very angsty. I'm glad Perry nudged Clark into dancing with Lois. If it's Superman pushing Lois away, that mild-mannered streak certainly doesn't help things!
Now if he'd just pull her away from Dan, haul her over his shoulder, and walk out with her...THAT would certainly throw things for a twist. Maybe a twist more appropriate for another folder. :rolleyes:

Speaking as a minion of darkness and anguish, I kind of loved the ending. :p More importantly, I love that Enchanted inspired you to write this! God I'm sickly obsessed with that movie and Amy Adam's voice.

A lovely Laura fic! *rubs hands in anticipation*
Lovely detail. I can see this so well.
No kidding!
LOL! And good use of detail here, too.
I bet anyone looking on can see how well they fit together, and I bet Scardino is off to the side positively dying to cut in.
Yes!
No!
No, no, no! Argue with her, dammit!
Oh, Lois. *headdesk*
Argh! And "babe"?!
Laura, this was lovely. Really lovely. And satisfying in some ways. (I'm kind of with Jen on the anguish thing.) But that said, I wouldn't object to a sequel with a happier ending!

She gave him a long look during which he twiddled his thumbs and felt like he was back in the second grade waiting for the terrifying Ms. Grubbowitz to determine if his fingernails were clean enough to eat his lunch.
Quote
She rested her cheek against his shoulder and pulled her hand from his, instead looping them both around his waist. It took him a moment to realize she was humming softly.
Taking a chance, Clark held his breath as he skimmed his now free hand down along her back. He closed his eyes for a moment at the sensation, bowing his head to allow his chin to touch the smooth skin of her shoulder.

“I’m almost believing this is not pretend,” she met his gaze and he touched her cheek.
“I don’t know if we’re singing the song, anymore, Lois.” His fingers brushed a soft wisp of hair behind her ear. She let out a shaky breath that fanned across his lips.
“I know.”

“I have Dan, Clark,” she said to him. “I won’t be alone.”

“So close,” she whispered to him.
Unsure as to what to do, Dan pulled her closer to him.
“Of course we are, babe. It’s why we work so well together.”
