Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK- Rights and Responsibilities 1/1

Well, that turned out more melancholy than I'd expected.

Not really. Clark is asking himself some very important questions.


He is not a selfish person and wants to be sure before going further in a relationship with Lois if it is right for him and ultimately for both of them. Such deep mediation is the mark of a mature man. Thankfully for both of them, he made the best most wisest decision.

Good story!

Another deep piece. How Clark was viewed by the office gossips and yet, not given consideration for his feelings by Lois (or at least that we were shown), is often part of the underlying extra dislike of Dan Scardino. Lois knows that Clark and Mayson at least kissed once (possibly more) and were serious enough to consider out-of-town plans together, and yet Lois expects him to brush off the death of this friend, because he's more serious about her? (Sorry, pet peeve.)

I can see how the death of Mayson would make him doubt if being in a relationship with him could hurt someone, or allow him to not be available to help others enough to push slightly away from Lois.

Sometimes, I'm amazed at how self-centered everyone in Metropolis is, especially when compared to Clark. How can Lois not see that Clark is hurting at the death of his friend IN HIS ARMS and need time to heal from this ordeal?

Poor Clark, always jumping to his position of self-doubt when faced with a set-back of these proportions. Hugs to Clark for feeling that he's to blame for Mayson's death.

I really enjoyed this exploration into such a confusing/painful time in Clark's life.

To be falling in love--to see it happening after wishing and hoping for it for years--and then literally at the same time have someone you care about die and feel responsible for their death? How hard of a time for Clark .

I have to admit, while watching Resurrection growing up, I was so annoyed to be given the character Dan Scardino, I'd kind of gloss over everything Clark was dealing with. (That introduction was horrible timing--along with that bomb going off when Lois and Clark finally kissed )

Thanks for bringing me here, to really think about what type of a situation Clark was thrown into. I think I'll look at Resurrection differently from now on ...

Great job!
