Just caught up on this, and I can't believe what I almost missed. (I also can't believe you thought this was going to be a one-parter, but that's another matter...)
Some familliar themes here, but you've got a fresh take on them. Not easy by now. Impressive just by itself.
Speaking of fresh... I love your description in this part of Clark's self-consciousness when seeing Lois in the suit for the first time post-revelation. It's not something most of us really stop to think about -- how revealing the suit is, how flashy, how different it must feel when the anonymity it brings is stripped away. You do a beautiful job painting that emotional picture for us.
I also really like the pacing here. They've made some good progress, but clearly there's a need for more. The revelation alone isn't enough, nor is her acceptance of it (and she's still got a ways to go there... She's barely started to absorb the implications, and you do just as good a job of painting that for us as you did Clark's multi-layered embarassment).
Great job! Can't wait to see more!
