It's also going to become part of a larger story at some point.
I really hope that 'at some point' is soon. The sooner, the better. Your little gem here has filled my mind with questions: What drove Clark to become a woodsman and to be so serious? Why is Lois in the woods with him? Is she a reporter in this incarnation? Was Clark before he became a hermit? Why is Lois with him now, apparently against her will? Why doesn't she leave? Where, precisely, is 'here'?

Please post the larger story soon. Please? grovel grovel grovel

Joy,
Lynn

p.s., As always for a SQD-fic, this piece was wonderfully well-written.

Me, too.

He didn’t want her here anymore than she wanted to be here
So... why are they together? Here... where? confused

Quote
He worked maybe four months a year and made enough to finance a small town!
What does he do for a living? eek

Quote
He crossed to his room and came out again carrying a rifle.
Rifle?! Clark Kent with a rifle? help

Quote
He glanced sideways at the woman beside him. She wasn’t his guest; she was his client. Plain and simple.
Client? What kind of service involve a client staying in the woods with a gruff host "for an undetermined amount of time"? help

Very nice. Loved the bantering.

I have questions, too. I also have answers. What I don't know is if the answers I have go with these questions! confused

Either way, I hope you post more smile

Delightful. Looking forward to seeing more of it.

at some point
IIRC that means a year or more down the road.

Well as always it will be worth the wait.

I liked the story, but I have to say there are more questions than answers.

It sounds like Lois is hiding out from someone. Beyond that I can't figure much out.

I hope we get more of the story soon.

Why in God’s name would any sane person live in this place?
Hunting cabin? On a stake out?

Quote
not with Mr. Weird out there making so much noise.
Hmmmm? Early on knowing Clark?

Quote
Clark Kent… She actually liked the name.
hyper

eek Okay, so clearly we are waaaaay AU.

Quote
Had she been eating wild animals since she had been here?
No, he's hunting those non-living cows to make burgers. laugh

Quote
“You can’t leave me here alone. What if someone comes?”
<raises eyebrow> Hmm...why the panic? Is she like a victim of abuse or something?

Quote
With his abilities, he could have bagged a large buck in minutes. But with her in tow, he would have to do this the hard way.
clap

Quote
He had just built it because he was bored.
He should meet my dad. He builds one room houses to put in the trees. smile

Quote
She wasn’t his guest; she was his client.
Hmmmm....

Quote
The woman talked more than the next ten people combined.

Quote
He should have known she was sympathizer.

Quote
Wow! Had he really shut her up?
Um...no?

Quote
“I just never thought of it before,” she went on a minute later.
See?

Quote
“Ah, with my mouth,” he shot back.
Good one, Clark!

Quote
“You have a sense of humor!” And she was grinning from ear to ear.

Clark just stared at her. He had seen Lois smile, but this…

Wow!
Hehehe! Love this!

Quote
“The real you,” she explained.
Awww!

Quote
“I still can’t believe I’m eating this,” Lois said as she lifted a piece of her steak to her mouth. “I mean, I watched you shoot it and clean it.”
<is reminded to go defrost some venison>

Quote
“Do you ever shut up?” Clark asked her.

She looked straight at him. “I wouldn’t have to talk so much if you would say something now and then,” she informed him.

Ooh, what an interesting start! I want to know more! (And thanks for not making Clark a serial killer or something - there's always a way to spin the prompt into something completely unexpected.)

It's sounds like Lois hired Clark Kent to protect her from someone who really scares her (Luthor? Mr. Make-Up? Intergang? Someone new?). Professional body guard? Mercenary for hire? Good thing Lois knows people who know people who know people so she could hook up with Clark. I'm surprised though that if that was his career, he'd tell her his real name. Maybe he works with witness protection (literally) -- outsourced, which is why he earns so much. If he is such a professional, I could so totally see him with a gun as part of his cover.

I'm curious why he took her to his secret hide-out. Perhaps she hunted HIM down to his secret locale and told him that she was hiring him (I could see that). Now she's nervous. If she could find this guy's secret hide-out, so could whoever is after her. Plus, she's in the woods and out of her element. It's also possible that she's pretending that someone is after her for a story on the "hunter", but she seemed genuinely scared, so that's doubtful. Although, knowing Lois, she's probably thinking of another side-bar story to go along with her original story which got her into trouble.

I love all the fun (one sided) banter with Clark's inner monologue. clap

Please keep going on this, SQD, I too would love to read more!

Hi SQD!

This is part of the fall ficathon challenge. It's also going to become part of a larger story at some point.

It’s cold as hell… just like every other morning. Why in God’s name would any sane person live in this place?
Arctic?

Quote
There was no way she could sleep… not with Mr. Weird out there making so much noise.
What’s he done now?

Quote
Host! Ha… He didn’t want her here anymore than she wanted to be here. But she had to admit that he was very good at his job.
Huh?

Quote
She eyed the dark haired man as he carried in an arm full of wood. Clark Kent… She actually liked the name.
So, what’s up?

Quote
Hell, he was the smartest man she knew. He worked maybe four months a year and made enough to finance a small town!
So, writer? Hmm… nah. Magazine journalist, like Jameson Rook?

Quote
He crossed to his room and came out again carrying a rifle.
Uuuukay?

Quote
“For what?”

“So we can eat,” he told her matter-of-factly.
Ooooh! Also, shouldn’t he just need to throw a pebble, or flick his finger?

Quote
She involuntarily glanced at the refrigerator. Had she been eating wild animals since she had been here?
No. They were all grown on a special farm and then carefully put to sleep and the precarved pieces delivered to the hunting lodge.

Quote
Lois panicked. Clark was leaving. That meant she would be left alone.

“You’re gonna leave me alone?” she asked anxiously.
So, not a reporting mission?

Quote
“A couple of hours?!” she almost shouted. She hurried closer to him. “Clark,” she squawked. “You can’t leave me here alone. What if someone comes?”
Oh my. What’s going on?

Quote
Oh, don’t worry! She was going to wear more than enough clothing to keep warm.
So, not enough then?

Quote
The woman struggling behind him wasn’t making his trip very easy. She could have stayed at the cabin. With his abilities, he could have bagged a large buck in minutes.
laugh

Quote
“This was actually a smart thing to do,” Lois let him know. “Build a place to keep out the cold.”
Gee, Lois. It’s not like he patented the idea.

Quote
Yeah, he agreed. He had just built it because he was bored.
drool

Quote
Clark shook his head as she shifted gears, kicking the babble into high gear. Somehow he couldn’t help but think he would come to love hearing this woman talk.
