I am looking for any fanfics that were written as an epilogue to Lois and Clarks. Where Clark2 and HGW go to the Congo and find Lois. I've read a couple of Congo stories but they're sort of AU and don't seem to come directly off this episode. Anyone seen one anywhere and if so, can you tell me where? Thanks.

There are a couple that I would recommend.

Kathy Brown wrote a wonderful continuation of this for the 5th Season project (which are all fantastic reading, by the way) and it's called 'Through the Looking Glass.'

I'd also recommend Margaret Brignell's fantastic 'Only You' 5-part series.

Jeff Brogden wrote 'Then Came You' which is also wonderful.

And I wrote 'Trading Places' which is another exploration of this episode.

There are a LOT more, but this will do as a start. I'm sure that others will make more recommendations as well.

Some of these I haven't yet read (amazing, isn't it???)... Wonder if you could provide links to them for us lazy (or RL-swamped) FoLCs, so that we can go to them really quickly?

Pretty shameless suggestion here, but my story, Connections, is about Alt Clark finding Alt Lois. However HG Wells isn't in it and only a very small part of it is set in the Congo, although that's also the case for most of the stories suggested in the previous posts.

Georgia Walden's 'Nemisis' looks at Lois's experience in the Congo, but I don't think HG was in it. I recall a story called 'Desperately Seeking Lois' about alt Clark going to the Congo and finding Lois working in a school there, but I can't find it in the fanfic archive. Maybe I've got the title wrong and somebody else will remember it.

I'm assuming here, when you ask for an epilogue, that you're interested specifically in stories about the alt universe that we saw in S3 & 4 and not in other-alt universe stories. If that's the case, not all the stories suggested in the previous posts fit what you want, although they are all very enjoyable fanfics.

Most (if not all) of them are on the Archive, Mel - check out the list by title and you should find them fairly easily.

LabRat

Oh, I figured as much, Rat... But I'm lazy and/or swamped with RL - how about linking the titles in the post to the story on the Archive for me and others in that situation? <innocent grin>

Melisma (under her Rock, wondering if she was as clear in her first post as she thought she was...)

Sorry, Mel, but no can do. I'm swamped with things to do too - beta reading mostly - and it would take longer for me to make up those links than it would to click pages on the Archive!

But perhaps someone who isn't so busy could do it for you.

LabRat

Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you that it's much easier to provide a list of stories if one isn't trying to provide links for all of them. This is the main reason my recommendations page hasn't been updated in mumblemumble years...

Anyway... Thanks for the recommendations, Maria! Carol's right, though -- "Tryst" was not set in canon, although it did involve the Congo. I second the recommendation for Carol's "Connections" -- great story, on many levels.

Out of curiosity, I went to the archive and did a Google search of it, searching on "congo" and "clarks" (from the ep title; that seemed like it would narrow things down). The search pulled up 12 stories... maybe one of those is what you're looking for.

I guess I qualify as someone who isn't busy. *COUGH/me has no life COUGH*

Ciao,
Jen

Thanks SO much. I'm happily printing all the ones I haven't read. I've read Tryst, and Strange Visitor from the Congo and thought they were all great. But, they weren't, as someone suggested, based on the au in the episodes which is what I want. I'm hoping one of these other stories will be. Can't wait to read them anyway. You guys are great.

Checked my musty hard drive and found 'Desperately Seeking Lois' . It's by Jennifer Eagan, and it is set in the Congo, but no H.G. Wells in it. The story's not in the fanfic archive though.

Carol

Here's a link to Jennifer Eagan's stories - you'll find 'Desperately Seeking Lois' there.

Thanks for 'linkifying' that list, Jen, and for finding JEagan's site for us, Carol - now maybe I'll be able to find quickly one of my old favourites to read when I have more than five minutes to spare!

Shadow, Thanks for posting these stories. I do have a question about Yvonne Connell stores Fear of Discovery. Did she also write a story called Fear of Discovery 2 3/4.
