David, whether you write a sequel to this particular story I absolutely want more stories.

The characterization is what I loved - and especially the Lex/Lois and Lex/Superman stuff in the final chapter.

Its about Lois and Clark but too often the characters Lex and Clark and the nexus between them is forgotten. You have not done that. Thank you.

One of the best Superman/Superboy stories I've seen/read is from the old Superboy TV series where Lex and Superboy are trapped in a mine. Both slowly dying, the epsisode was a long study of each as he relates to the other and what drives that relationship.

As with your story it was the focus on characterization that made it great.
