This was SOOOOOO good!!! 
Love all of Clark's emotions, and of course I love that Superman will NOT be going to see Luthor!!
Agreed! Need part 3!!

Yay! Love how little ripples expand into bigger changes. And yes, will there be a part 3? 
Re: FDK: The Fallout Of Poor Decisions - 11/18/23 07:02 PM
Oooooh! This is awesome. Part 3 please?

Poor Clark! This is such a fun piece to read because I feel like SO MUCH happens and the whole action is basically 'a man answers a door.' 
But then it's so full and urgent!
This is such a nice depiction of his thought process. Lex is such a monster to set up a trap this way - he knows Superman will come if Superman thinks he can help or make Lois happy.
So sad! This really tugged at me - it's so much of what their relationship is at this point in time.
There's something really sweet in here. While he can be faster than a speeding bullet, it's like she has him living in the moment so deeply with her that she can move faster than he does. Like, he easily could have stopped her, but instead he'd invested in her emotions.
"Claims" makes me nervous!
Good!
This is such a great follow-up! I love the idea that Superman avoids Lex's trap, and that he and Lois head into whatever comes next on the same team!
But then it's so full and urgent!Quote
But I can't shake the feeling that I should find out what he's up to. What if my not going would result in Lois ending up hurt? What if this were the one chance I have at stopping this wedding?

I don't want us to have another fight.
Quote
Her eyes fill with more tears and before I know what's happening, she's in my arms.
Quote
He has no idea I'm onto him,” Lois claims.

One thing is for sure, Luthor is not going to see Superman anytime soon.

Wait a moment, when did this become an anything series?
Thank you all so much for your feedback. I will think about a party three, but I'm certainly not ready to keep up a posting schedule like with MagiKal.

Thanks for a terrific fic! I’m glad Lois really investigated Lex and discovered the truth about him. It’s good that Superman will be avoiding Lex. I’m looking forward to the next story!

Hi Barbara!
Aaaaahhhhh… /goes back and checks FDK/ aaaahhh I see
Together with the title, it’s Clark’s PoV?
At least if he stays within the legal limits.
I don’t thing he ever phrased it like that to her. Wonder how she’d react to the b-word.
He likes torture?
Oooooohhhhh
He wouldn’t be stupid enough to meet Luthor instead of Lois, would he? Hmmm…of course he would.
Awwwww
Which is why he’ll break up with her to prevent her from getting hurt.
He really does have a thing for Wet Dog Lane.
Am flashing to a fish. Possibly even Nemo and his friends.
Superman. He’s a cardboard cutout.
LEX: This could be a jealous assistant trying to drive a wedge between Lois and me?
He’s not that big on considering actual consequences and their likelihood, is he?
Clark: Oops?
Audience: Yes. ‘oops’.
/Points at the hidden cams in her apartment/
Ooooooh! Getting her out of those clothes. Clark can help with that!
Ooooooh!
You do realize you’re setting yourself up for another Ficlet Friday epic, don’t you?

Since it’s the one year anniversary, I decided to join the fun. Fortunately, the muse woke just in time. Happy Ficlet Friday.

This is the very belated sequel to Late Encounter

My heart is beating hard in my chest
Quote
He’s going to marry Lois tomorrow and there’s little I can do about that.
Quote
Once they’ve exchanged their vows, Lois belongs to him. Maybe that’s exactly what she wants.
Quote
No matter what I did, nothing changed her view of Luthor. So what would meeting him accomplish other than torturing myself?
Quote
A knock at my door pulls me from my thoughts. “Clark?”
My heart skips a beat.
It’s her.
She knocks again, with more insistence this time.

I stare at the door that rattles under her fist’s attack. My own hands clench of their own volition. I’m not ready to see her.
Quote
“Clark.” Her voice a choked whisper now, laced with tears that cause a lump in my throat.
I can’t stand to hear her cry. Something inside me stirs, unfreezes my limbs and makes me walk to my door. In terms of safeguarding my heart I might be better off ignoring her. These past few weeks have been too much.

Quote
Whatever pain she’s in, I want to make it stop. No matter the cost for my own aching heart.
Quote
Her hair is a tangled mess of wet tendrils. She’s soaked through, not even wearing a coat despite the weather conditions. She’s more beautiful than ever.
Quote
Her lower lip trembles, her eyes are wide and for a moment there she just seems capable of opening and closing her mouth. Her eyes fill with more tears and before I know what’s happening, she’s in my arms.
Quote
“I’m so sorry, Clark,” she whispers into my shoulder. “You were right about him, right about everything.”
Quote
Her apology is probably the most alarming sign of all, sending my senses into overdrive.
Quote
“I looked into the video footage of the area in front of the bank where the false alarm happened. It showed Lex assistant Mrs. Cox, playing with a pendant while Superman doubled over in pain.”
Quote
The thought makes me feel sick to my stomach. Of course, I asked her to investigate Luthor. But it was more meant to give her pause. I didn’t intend for her to risk getting on his bad side all on her own without anyone to back her up.
Quote
Lex will try to kill him.”
I want to laugh at that before I suddenly remember the kryptonite.

It took me some time to find all the bugs he’s planted on me. The rain should have taken care of the rest.”
Quote
There’s a smug smile playing around her lips, letting me doubt that she’s truly understood the level of evilness Luthor is capable of.
Quote
. “Okay, first we should get you out of these wet clothes and then we need to come up with one hell of a plan.”
Quote
Dazed, I follow Lois into my apartment. One thing is for sure, Luthor is not going to see Superman anytime soon.
