STORY # 1:
This could be a nfic (not sure)... Lois knows, Clark's proposed, she hasn't answered yet and then there's a Superman-date auction. Lois doesn't want him to go, he doesn't listen, takes her to Smallville the night he has to go on his 'date', Martha comforts Lois with 2 stories, a mermaid and a story from her own past.

I can remember almost everything except the title and the author


STORY # 2:

A short story (definitely a gfic)... theme is either Halloween or some costume thing (I think this was one of the stories during some costume challenge spree, but I can't seem to find it), Lois decides to chose a costume for Clark and she picks up Superman, Clark is despondent... he has to tell her now.. there is also a Scarlet Pimpernel reference there somewhere


Thanks in advance,

Pretty sure the first one is 'Going Going Gone' by the gorn. Don't know about the second one.

Well, I searched the Archive for "Pimpernel," and came up with Trick Or Treat: A Halloween Dilemma by Capes. Is that the one you mean?

Yep! that's it! Thanks both of you
