Feedback here as usual.

Awwww. That was a wonderful date!!!! I thought it was cute the way they kept the game up.

I keep wondering if Dr. Plinkton or Dr. Klein will figure out the truth about Clark. Not to mention Lois!!

I still hope Martha and Jonathan made it. Or if they didn’t, I at least hope that Clark will recover memories of them.

I started reading, but I just had to stop so I could comment on this:

So Clark may need a version of Marcel Proust's Madeleine cookies and limeflower tea to remember, eh?

I'll be back after I've read more!

Ann

Okay, I'm back! I just want to say that that was an adorable date. I'm delighted that Clark has begun to remember, and I'm really scared of what Lex might do (but then, I hate villains and don't much like A-plots).

Ann

I thought the kiss with Lois might trigger more of Clark's memories, but it didn't. Delightful description of their first date!

Delightful part. More clues for Lois about Clark's dual identity.

• Clipping file
• old story notes
• scrawled margin notes in the books in his apartment, especially the NON-English books,

Now would be a good time for Clark to start noticing he needs less sleep than Lois. This would give him the time he needs to work his way through this other material and the privacy when something does click.

Except, I'm thinking, that since Metropolis hasn't had a sunny day, and Clark still isn't close to getting his powers back, that right now he needs a lot of sleep so he can heal.

But you have a good idea. I wonder if Clark or Lois will think of it?

Aww... Very nice date Fun!

Michael

Wow. That says a lot about Clark that he would think he has a chance against Superman.

As for the rest of the part, it was just lovely, Bob. I laughed when Lois had to spell it out for Clark that she wanted a real date with him. And I loved how they overcame the awkwardness of living together.

Hi everyone. I hope you enjoyed the WAFFY diversion from A-plot. I couldn’t let too many chapters go by without having another ending with a kiss.

Lcfan99:
Well, remember that it’s only been 10 days since Nightfall. Lois has had the face-time and the opportunity but she’s convinced that Superman is dead so she's less likely to notice the clues. I’m following a lead that others have laid out before me. People see what they expect.


Ann:
I thought this made for a beautiful symmetry. If Clark thinks the right thought, some memories may return. However, without his memory he has no idea what might be special. I was thinking that my version of this would be: “I hate A-plots and don’t much like villains.”


c-mom:
Too easy. But who knows what might do it…


Framework4:
Iolanthe hit it but I’ll verify. He has healed enough in the week since Nightfall that his injuries are not noteworthy on a day-to-day basis but he still has a ways to go.

In case it wasn’t obvious from context, his initial Kryptonite exposure was minimal. He only got enough to allow the nerve gas to work. However, when he crashed, the canister broke open and he got a massive exposure. That’s when he lost his powers. It took several days for his system to flush out all of the Kryptonite from that exposure. Then he has to heal. Unfortunately, because of the impact winter effect, there is no sunlight to boost his recovery.


Iolanthe:
Bingo!


Michael:
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it.


Corrina:
I couldn’t resist writing clueless Clark for that bit. I mean really, in S1 he really does act just about this bad much of the time.


Thanks everyone. We’ll have to see about getting back to that A-plot before too long.
