I just read both parts 6 & 7 together, so forgive me for posting feedback to both here.
Part 6 was so powerful. Very well written. One thing I especially appreciated was that you have presented a reasonable, believable scenario for Lois to react as she does.
One of my biggest problems with Lois's reaction to the revelation of Clark = Superman in the original (and even in some fanfics), is that I have a hard time justifying her anger. I know, I know, Clark lied to her, he should have told her before, she has a past of "federal disaster" relationships, etc., etc., but I don't know, it still just doesn't seem (in my mind) to account for all her anger. Or, for her holding onto that anger. I guess I can see an immediate angry response, but it just seems like 2 minutes reflection should take her past that.
In Adrift, I can completely understand Lois's reaction. Not justify, but understand. The old difference between an excuse and an explanation, I guess. There is no excuse, but there is, at least, an explanation. It was so hard to read, though. My heart just broke for Clark.
? What is in store for us in Part 8?
