Wow, lots of close calls!
I really enjoyed this and loved how Lois took care of him. Her comment to him about having nothing on Superman...
Will there be a part 2, showing what happens the next morning?
I do wonder how things would have gone if Lois came up before he was able to put the kryptonite back though.....
Thanks for sharing ^_^

I really liked this one. The multiple accidental Kryptonite exposures because Lois does not know that he is Superman. In my mind, I imagined it as slapstick comedy as I read it.
Clark needs to let her in on the secret before she accidentally kills him.

Oh my gosh, poor Clark!!! 
One thing after another after another! I have to admit that I gasped when he fell down the stairs! He's lucky all he did was hurt his ankle!
Love how Lois took care of him and then accidentally gave him the nighttime medicine
And gosh, multiple kryptonite exposures! Is Lois TRYING to kill him?!?!
Glad he was okay after sleeping it off a bit, and agree that it would be great to see a sequel of the morning after!
Thank you for sharing!!

This was great, just what I had been hoping for. Poor Clark, multiple Kryptonite exposures. I thought Lois would notice something during that last one.
Well done. Thank you very much for a wonderful fic.

Ah, so delightful and sweet!! 
Re: FDK: Evening of Mishaps - 01/01/23 09:09 PM
Thanks for a terrific fic! Poor Clark! It’s bad enough that his actions caused him to be exposed to kryptonite but then Lois unknowingly exposed him too. I hope you’re going to write a morning after sequel! I would love to read more! Thank you!

Toomi8!
What a hysterical series of mishaps and near disasters! Honestly I thought he was going to make a clean escape, but he sprained his ankle on her stairs. Clark is not used to being in such pain, he probably thought it was another round of kryptonite. The confession about not going on the cruise was classic Lois and then after dinner she gave him not one, but two doses of sleep meds. I was laughing so hard my sides started to hurt. Glad he went to sleep, who knows what other huge mishaps were going to take place!
MikeM is right. This was totally a slapstick comedy and yeah, Clark better come clean in the morning or she's going to hang him out to dry. Cool way to get the year off to a fabulous beginning!

Lovely! My favourite parts were the descriptions of the unknown sensations for Clark - the spiciness of the curry, the pain from the hurt ankle, the frozen peas! Well done!
Re: FDK: Evening of Mishaps - 01/24/23 09:39 PM
Hi Toomi!
NEIGHBORS: That’s normal. Poor woman is stalked the flying freak.
This reminds me a lot of Cat and Mayson and how they behaved towards Clark.
Awww, he found her stash! Say, is that the kryptonite bullet she dug up in Madame Ex?
Hey, it could be an elaborate trap to get Superman into her bed!
LOIS: You mean my shoe cupboard?
Nice way of getting Clark k’d, while keeping out the nasty a-plot.
That’s right. Her bed is much closer. And easier to reach, now that his ankle is hurt.
/Points at board title/
/Points at place over yonder on board/
Did he hurt his head or something?
Yes. Yes, she’s hurting him!
Nononono no. I can’t watch this. Not over here. Toomi is telling a sweet story. There’s nothing … untoward going on.
Hush! Such a baby.
Aaaaah! Or had Lex hidden it there, trying to capture Superman?
Lois! Did you get naked!
Oh, that explains it.
Yes. Like the ones Lois *isn’t* wearing right now.
Yes. He will have to be helped with showering.
About a gutsy but helpless reporter and her social interest, the black terror of the night?
She really wants him to help her with Clark’s shower, huh?
Wait, did she just check if her Superman trap was still armed?
I was right!
Yes, that's one way to look at it. Another is that she knows and set up a trap.
Yep, she’s angry about something. Or has that mental disorder were you hurt someone to be needed in helping them get better. Münchhausen-by-proxy? No, not exactly, similar though.
And now she's poisoning him.
See? Definitely ticked off.
LOIS: But it’s a big bed!
LOIS: Yes, I’d like to change my name. Yes … ‘Karma’. That’s right.
Actually …
See?
CLARK: I have never once pushed any of her buttons! Oh, you mean verbally …
Yep, she’s ticked off.
Clark: 
No, he can come by. He can even stay the night when kryptonite exposure is involved.
/Squints/ she seemed so sincere…
Tsk tsk tsk tsk
Now, how is he going to explain that?
So, she caught him, roofied him, and is now dragging him off to her bed.
CAT: And they call me *naughty*.
Oops?
Wouldn’t it be awkward if Lois were there?
Yeah. Right.
That was a great Ficathon contribution! You checked all the boxes

Anyone walking by would wonder why Superman was hovering mid-air at Lois Lane’s apartment.
Quote
She’d told him to stop by, he reasoned. She’d said she’d meet him here, and had reminded him of the unlocked window so he could wait indoors. Lois regularly reminded him the window was unlocked and he could just wait for her anytime,
Quote
He smirked and pulled the book off the shelf, feeling stunned when a wave of nausea then pain, flooded through him.
Quote
a little perplexed why Lois hadn’t disposed of the Kryptonite bullet
Quote
After briefly considering hiding it in the rarely used oven,
Quote
He flailed around as he slipped on the step, groping for the handrail, before inelegantly falling down the remaining stairs.
Quote
We need to get you to the hospital.” “No,” Clark insisted as firmly as he could.
Quote
“Lois, that’s ok. I should go home. If you could call a cab -”
/Points at place over yonder on board/
Did he hurt his head or something?
Quote
As her hands touched his skin he groaned at the sensation. “I’m sorry, Clark. I’m hurting you.”
Quote
“I’ve got something for the swelling,” Lois announced
Quote
Don’t give me that look,” she admonished. “I may not have much use for these as food but it helps with my own injuries.
Quote
He jumped as she placed the cold bag on his ankle. “Cold,” he responded to her inquiring look. “
Quote
What was the piece of Kryptonite still doing here after she’d told him she’d disposed of it?
Quote
Why did you stop by?” Lois asked as she reentered the living room changed out of her work attire, breaking Clark’s train of thought.
Quote
“I’m expecting Superman to drop by. Maybe he could stop by your apartment and grab you some clothes.”
Quote
Clothes?” Clark repeated, thoroughly confused
Quote
You’ll need help until you can stand.”
Quote
and he settled on something that passed itself off as a comedy.
Quote
Where’s Superman? Did he stop by?” “No, he hasn’t -” Clark stopped when Lois reached over the back of the couch and took the remote from him. “He must be busy,” she mumbled as she flipped through the news channels, now well into their sports coverage.
She really wants him to help her with Clark’s shower, huh?Quote
After washing his hands, he reached for the towel when a wave of gut-wrenching pain flooded him again. He staggered against the wall, hearing something clatter to the ground as he fell. The pain vanished as he heard Lois’ muffled call of concern.
Quote
Had he not been recovering from the shock of another exposure to Kryptonite,
Quote
reminding himself that she couldn’t have known the consequences of opening the jewelry box to him
Quote
Thinking of which… where was it now? He spotted it back on the shelf, displayed predominantly. He tried to remember if he’d seen the metallic jewelry box before today but was sure this was the first time
Quote
As he ate, he felt a burning sensation spread from his mouth into his throat, his face began to feel warmer and his eyes watered. Coughing, he asked Lois for a glass of water.
Quote
“They must have made the curry spicier for you. Usually you have no problems eating it, mocking me because I won’t have any.”
Quote
He wasn’t ungrateful for Lois’ offer to stay the night, but it meant one of them would be on the couch
Quote
. He did not like feeling weak and exhausted, and had not enjoyed the sensation of his mouth on fire from the curry.
Quote
He wouldn’t hang in mid-air waiting to see if you’re available.”
Quote
Clark responded crankily as he became more agitated, realizing he had done just that, especially during Superman’s first few months.
Quote
You know what makes me laugh, and how to push my buttons. I know you fake innocence at times, but you are aware of what you’re doing,”
Quote
You don’t get it do you? He’s got nothing on you, but you can’t see past your jealousy.” “My what?”
Quote
Want to know what’s in it
Quote
You don’t think he’s stayed away because he knows it’s here? Maybe he can’t come by…?”
Quote
how amazing Lois tasted, wondering what had suddenly changed her mind about him to the point she was kissing him with a passion he had only dreamed of, and… Pain flooded him again and he groaned, trying not to curl up in a ball.
Quote
As Lois sat up, Clark rolled forwards, hazily aware the jewelry box was no longer on the coffee table.
Quote
Kryptonite,” he stammered. “The box fell.”
Quote
He yawned widely as Lois stretched a hand out to him. “You can stay in my bed.”
CAT: And they call me *naughty*.
Quote
As long as he could get a good night kiss, it didn’t matter where he slept. “Excuse me?”
Quote
He threw back the sheets and floated a few feet above the bed, delighting in the return of his powers.
Quote
. He’d tell her everything in the morning.
