So glad you enjoyed the story, LMA and Supesfan! This was one of my favorite stories to write, letting me combine my admiration of Clark's strength with my favorite lines of the show, while also giving me the chance to play around with some bits of role-reversal in the relationship/friendship between Lois and Clark. It IS long, though, so I sympathize with you having to find the time to read it in a busy life! smile

I'm delighted to hear that you've reread it so often, Supersfan, and that you plan to, LMA -- the best compliment a writer can receive is to know that their readers plan to repeat the process, this time knowing what they're getting into! smile
