Chris, absolutely wonderful! As far as I'm concerned, there can never be too many alt-Clark stories, especially when they're as beautifully waffy as this one.

I loved the parallel of a younger Lois having sympathy for Don Diego, recognizing that he was always hiding a part of himself. smile And I loved that when she started muttering about Don Diego with Clark, that it went right over his head.

Ohmigosh, I totally missed the connection between "bad tempers" and Tempus. [Linked Image] wallbash Thanks, Pam, for pointing it out...

And, of course, I loved that they both had now found the specialness and magic of Christmas that they had longed for...

Just beautiful, Chris.
