I too was waiting for the ending of this story before fully reading it, hoping that the story would turn out to be an L & C: TNAoS fic (or even one based on the comic book charcaters of Lois Lane and Clark Kent, or even the movies
)
But as Bettina says this really is a Smallville story.
It's characaterization of Clark Kent, Lana Lang's central role, and it's reduction of Lois to a "Jimmy Olson" role all fit in that universe, in which Lois Lane is of little imprtance to CK/S:
<<He’d forgotten about Lois, alone in the life raft.>>
Through your story, Lois was never more than a support-character and you also never wrote a bit of positive chemistry between Clark and her.
Would very much have appreciated a warning at the beginning that this story was not an L & C story. I know you gave a "broken toys" warning a few parts back, but that's not quite the same thing.
That said, I did read the first part, any bits that had Lois Lane in them throughout, and this last bit - you write well, which is why I kept dipping into your story, hoping.....
