I set down lightly on the balcony and swing Lois onto her feet. I wrap my arm around her waist and together we watch the sun creep higher. I describe to her the sounds of Christmas coming from the neighbouring apartments. I tell her about the children in number four; the little boy is shouting with joy because he has got the red fire engine he's always wanted. The little girl is gushing over the doll she has just unwrapped. Beautiful! Maria D.

It's incredibly sweet and I love the way Clark talks about how she fits against him. Logical, too, or at least as logical as anything is when Wells is involved And am I right that when Lois heard "tempers," Wells was actually saying "Tempus"? Just lovely, Chris. Thanks so much.

As far as I'm concerned, there can never be too many alt-Clark stories, especially when they're as beautifully waffy as this one. I loved the parallel of a younger Lois having sympathy for Don Diego, recognizing that he was always hiding a part of himself. And I loved that when she started muttering about Don Diego with Clark, that it went right over his head. Ohmigosh, I totally missed the connection between "bad tempers" and Tempus. Thanks, Pam, for pointing it out... And, of course, I loved that they both had now found the specialness and magic of Christmas that they had longed for... Just beautiful, Chris.

And I love the subtle touches of humour, too, such as Clark's reaction when Lois mentions Wells, and the temper/Tempus reference. Christmas is such a perfect time for Clark to find his Lois, isn't it? And what a WAFFy finish - offering the hint of more in the future for both of them. Loved it! I hope this is on its way to the Archive for a Christmas upload... Wendy Just a fly-by! waves

I may not have addressed them all here, but I have treasured each and every one. Pam: Quote And am I right that when Lois heard "tempers," Wells was actually saying "Tempus"? Yes, you're right. That, at least, was what I had in mind. Wendy: Quote I hope this is on its way to the Archive for a Christmas upload... Yes, it is. I'd like to say another heartfelt thank you to Jenni here, both for beta-reading and for encouragement! You're the best! Jose, IsisLnC, Julia, Maria, Laura, Kathy and Karen: thank you all very much too. Just as a useless piece of information, I originally planned to call this story Resonance. (I decided I liked an alternative better, obviously.) Still, the reason for the working title remains: I wanted to show Lois and Clark were 'in tune' with each other, even before they met. That's why Clark feels so empty during the period when she has stepped out of time and why Lois dreams of him. I'm not sure how much of the 'resonance' comes through in the final story but, given the kinds of comments that people have been making, I think enough. Again, thank you all very, very much Chris (who is looking at an alarmingly red sky this morning, and who is wondering what the local shepherds are making of it...)
