This was very intense. On the one hand, I love that Lois was finally ready to be intimate... only she wasn't really, was she?

It's nice to see the 'boys' razzing Clark about Lois. It's good to have friends.

Then that night. Whoa, Lois, under the cape? You do realize that's a fantasy of Clark's, right? She must have known that Clark willpower to her was at nil.

And then the next morning, Lois goes all psycho on the poor man. I agree, that was in bad taste mentioning the scars (good going there, Clark! - the correct answer would have been NOT to have seen them) but she was still feeling violated. She was testing how far could she go and still have his love. In her heart of hearts, Lois doesn't feel like she deserves this wonderful man and she figures she was gong to lose him someday, so why not the day after they were intimate for the first time.

Lois is certainly getting under Clark's skin in a few more ways than one. I wonder if any of Clark's other girlfriends had been able to get under is aura? You know, those ones mentioned above. I'm thinking not. He never lived with them, created children with him. I'm thinking unbeknownst to him, he was actually the one who let her in.

I'm glad Clark is strong enough to stand up to Lois. She crossed a line and he's right, she needs therapy.

Since there is only two parts left, I'm guessing we aren't going to have a messy twist (please no!) and bring in A. Carlin or Deter as her therapist. Please, I'm begging you. DR. FRISKIN! PLEASE! Lois is messed up enough as it is. Let's have someone who will actually help her. PLEASE!

I loved the normal start to this installment. The fact that it got a little freaky at the end just shows how wounded Lois was and how much she really needed to mend to become a whole and wholesome person. I am so glad that the "family" will survive the upheaval of the mating dance Lois and Clark did. It seems that even when all the props are knocked out from under a "healthy" Lois, she still loves Clark and her children. And it might be enough to carry her through until the dark gremlins of her past fade away. And, I am so glad that Clark is able to see through all the roadblocks that Lois throws in the way of their relationship. He still can see that they made love instead of having sex with Lois. His understanding of this will carry them until Lois is whole again.

Good story, STQ. I have loved the foundation that you built and the way you fleshed out an almost-canon Lois who is in love with a very-canon Clark. They will make a tight union that includes the children and any others they have. This version has utopia secured with a few mental issues thrown in to mix the stew. Life will never be boring once all the bugs are worked out with this relationship.

A NEW PART!!!!!!

Good job in showing how Lois has been traumatized and how it's going to take some time for her to heal.

Yeah, I agree. This was a great part and Lois isn't going to be fine just like that. It is going to take time - and therapy.

Cannot believe there are two parts left of this ....

Can't wait for the next part!!!!

Very intense and emotional part. The normality of the beginning was just the calm before the storm. But I'm glad that Lois realized that she needs professional help. It's the first step in the road of the full recovery. Please, consider posting it.
