came up with this non-ending just to play with everybody's minds.
Have to admit I was surprised by that statement.
I know Tank does that, but it's always been tongue in cheek.
As others have pointed out, this really wasn't a "Lois and Clark" fic, and so, should you write a sequel, to make it a "Lois and Clark" fic would be a betrayal of the premise implicit in this fic - that there is no "Lois and Clark". Btw, I do think now, reading between the lines of your posts related to this story, that it was your orginal intention to kill Lois and I do hope you stick with that.

Please, should it be Lois that survived, and you do decide to write a sequel, let it not be the "supportive little woman" role for her. Clark has shown no interest in her at all - it's not in the cards, in this universe you've set up, for him to love her. To cast her as 'secretly in love with him' is to fall back on that old cliche - the woman who waits and hopes while the man choses. It was sad when Dickens (to whom you compare yourself) used it over a century ago.
But, if you do go with Lois surviving, please give us a contemporay Lois, reflective of the character we see in the comics today and in the TV show L & C: TNAoS. Since you've already rejected the Lois and Clark love story, build a terrific love story for Lois Lane with a completely new character, and not a story in which she pines for Lana's leftovers. Do with Clark/ Superman what you did with Lois in this story; make him the second banana, someone she's not interested in romantically but who will be her colleague and friend - her 'Jimmy Olson".
Could be really interesting.
