I still find this totally fascinating. Lois, in her utter loneliness, finding strength and comfort in the memory of her dead Mama, and pursuing her dream of journalism against her adoptive parents' wishes and learning to control her growing powers without letting anyone in the world know about them. Clark, at least, had Martha and Jonathan to confide in.

I find your Lois so moving, so endearing, so harrowingly lonely. And I'm so, so looking forward to her meeting with Clark.

Thank you for this gem of a story, Toc!
