OH YEAH, if there was ever something that I could just enjoy without jumping into the nfic pile, THAT was it. yummy yummy and thanks for the shivers too, BJ!!

I think that's the most erotic rated-PG piece I've ever read. Just perfect. And, as Lois said, not only physical but emotionally beautiful as well. I'm glad he didn't stay. You took them both to the the physical point of 'I don't care what's smart' and then brought them gently back--not into fear of intimacy, but rather into the realization of how much deeper their connection went and how precious that was. It was brilliant all around.

His fascination with her neck reminded me of a scene from the show. It's after they're married and Clark wakes up in the middle of the night to find himself alone in their bed. He goes looking for Lois and finds her doing paperwork--taxes, I think. Anyway, he starts kissing her neck as he convinces her to come back to bed. You can almost hear him thinking, "This is one advantage of the haircut."

Yes! Shivers all around!! This was PERFECT!!

One tiny thing:
You switched pronouns here.

But, oh, I could read that little story over and over again!! Finally, a way to make that haircut worthwhile!!

Brenda!!!!!!!!!! You finally posted it! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

It's true, I loved the universe you created in Master of Disguise so much that I was ready to start picking out apartments so I could live there. This fic only reinforces that wishful thinking. <g>

There are so many little moments in this one that also make me want to set up housekeeping with our heroes. First off, as much as I disliked Lois' super-short hair (with apologies to Tank), I think the show missed the best possible reason for Lois to have cut it. Making herself into a new person after Lex is the best explanation ever. Yes, in your story she had actually been married to him, so there's a clear need for a before/after break for her.

I loved Clark's obsession with her neck. We certainly had precedent for it on the show - that scene in 'Meet John Doe' that HappyGirl mentioned and also the time they're making out on the bed in 'Sex, Lies and Videotape'. Mmmmm…

For me, good writing is always in the details. For instance: That little pat on the doorframe says so much! It says that he's forcing himself to stop touching her now and that he's reminding himself that the door is right there and he needs to leave. Nicely done!

Mozartmaid, I guess we're reading it differently. The full sentence is: The cautious side of me makes a feeble attempt to slow things down, but the idea that I’m seducing Superman drowns her voice completely. I took that "her" as referring to the cautious side of Lois.

A beautiful and fabulous job, Brenda. I will try to confine my groveling for more from you to the fabulous new alt-universe you're working on and not keep dragging you back into the old ones. (The key word here is "try" )

Now I'm off to read this lovely story again (and again). Sure, I should be getting ready for work now, but this is so much more fun! Thank you for my awesome (belated) b-day present! It's just what I wanted and exactly the right size.

Ho. ly. cow.

That is not a story to be read, that is a story to be savored.

I am certain I cannot write fdk worthy of that story, so I'll just say that I am thrilled that you are working on an alt-universe, but if the fancy should strike, I'm sure there is plenty of interesting stuff going on in the MOD universe that we need to read about.

Sue, thanks for sharing your birthday present!

Amber

Wow! Just, "Wow!" Your story has left me speechless.

Well done!

Joy,
Lynn

Ooops! You're right! I get it now...

PS I'm off to read 'Master of Disguise' now since you mentioned it!

That was brilliantly wow!

It's nice when other gentle writers 'get it' when it comes to the shorter haircut.

Also, I just think that Lois (Teri) was cuter with shorter hair.

Cute vignette.

Tank (who has long contended that Clark liked the shorter do because he had a thing for Lois' neck)

Adorable and sexy. Loved it!

Yay, I'm so glad you posted it! Awesome job, B!

Kathy

Oh, that's fantastic! Wow! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

And it is surely the best haircut story I have ever read!

Ann

Wow, I really can't believe all they did was kiss a little. Wonderful viggy

And did I read Sue's comment correctly? There's another alt-U in the works?
