What's this? A short fic? I'm shocked!

 I love it! Yay for Clark dodging the cage and yay for Lois and her sign!  Of course, I'm curious how these changes will affect the rest of the canon, especially how Lois will deal with amnesiac Clark and creepy Lex when she knows that the Almighty himself doesn't ship Lois/Lex.

Oh boy, you sure played with the timeline and you played with it very well. I like it and how Mike and God helped Lois see her way.

I may have been a bit heavy handed with the stubbornness on that one indeed. Nice take on that challenge. Glad Clark was able to avoid the Kryptonite cage and hopefully Lois will take a closer look at things knowing God Almighty himself doesn't want her to marry Lex Luthor. Thanks for the laugh, Vicki.

It didn’t exactly roll naturally off her tongue, the way she’d always expected her new name to do once she married. She remembered how easily “Mrs. Lois Swayze” had bounced off her tongue as she and her girlfriends had fantasized about marrying their crushes. It had seemed so natural. So how come it felt so awkward trying out her fiancé’s last name now? Perhaps if she couched it in a different way? Talk about reaching high! Still I can see Lois and that awesome dancer doing a fantastic Mamba on the floor of the High School gymnasium.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Haha, he gave her so much stubbornness that it takes an asteroid to counter it? Golly...

Thanks for reading! No immediate plans for a sequel, but I never say never! Of course, with you saying you need more, my muse wants to comply, but she needs to finish the epic AU she started first.

I picture God sprinkling stubbornness into the Lois "batter" and the top falling off to spill ALL of it in the mix He made her with. Glad you enjoyed the fic!

This somehow requires an epilogue or something! What would Lois do once she realises that an asteroid is headed for earth?

I originally meant for it to be a punchy one-shot, but the more people ask, the more I'm considering letting the muse fool around with extending things. But she has to finish what she's already working on first.

I've read about the expression "knocking some sense into someone", but Lois is truly unique! A very enjoyable (and surprising!) fic.
