Val!!!!
I'm so excited that you posted this altogether. I would have died waiting, especially with where you left each chapter off.
This was a fabulous read! I love Clark's reaction to seeing Scardino, and how Lois immediately went after him. Didn't get enough of that in the show, and Clark for sure deserved the reassurance. Dan was super shady throughout this (which, obviously, he is in the show as well, but like... he stayed even during the makeout scene? And then came back to harass Clark?)
'Walking sandwich' had me rolling.
And whoo! Those steamy scenes! *fans self* Very hot!
Also, I'm very glad you had Clark come out with the secret. Especially when they're baring all *cough*RightExpressionWrongContext*cough* ... Point is, if he'd held on to his secret then, the fallout would have been far worse. He couldn't expect complete honesty from her and not give it in return.
All in all, a wonderful tale! Beautifully told, well crafted, great setup... and Dan can stick his poutiness where the sun don't shine! Don't want to see his face around Metropolis again! (Although that throwaway line about a job in Metropolis had me wondering... in the land of sequels... where exactly would that land us?)
Fabulous job!
