We are away this week visiting my husband’s family, so this isnt the lengthy fdk I really want to leave, but I can’t go another moment without telling you and Kathy that I am OBSESSED with this story! You guys have captured the tone of the show perfectly, so even though it’s AU I still absolutely recognize my two fav characters. I adore Clark as a teacher (especially a journalism teacher - gee, I wish my high school journalism teacher had looked like Clark!!) and I can see how he could’ve become this version of himself if his life had taken a few different turns. I love that Lois took down Luthor - go girl!
I’m loving watching their connection grow throughout their time at the conference (btw, beautifully described - the sessions, schedule, presenters - when did you go to a journalism conference?!?) I’m really enjoying Clark’s students, too, and how you introduced us to a few kiddos - hope they show up again somehow!
The Easter eggs are my favorite, and I think that’s what makes it feel so much like L&C. I can catch most of the lines (cause if you remember correctly, I have much of the series memorized from wearing out all my old VHS tapes in college, lol). I’m dying to know about her outfit tho - was it in S1? I haven’t seen the eps in a few years so that part is vague. I’d be all about reading a pop-up video version of this one … I’m sure I’ve missed something!
I just have to mention real quick - even though this is already longer than I thought it’d be and I hate typing on my phone - but the attraction between them is so perfectly written. Like, I’m yelling at him to kiss her after the went for drinks and totally imagining Lois closing the door behind her and slumping against it, letting out a breath because that man is the most amazing one she’s ever met… being both so disappointed that he didn’t kiss her and so grateful that he knew not to just yet. And then when he did kiss her just ever so brief in this part, it was prefect bc that’s exactly where they should be right now - do you know what I mean? So glad she gave him her number… because I’m dying to know what comes next!! Im trying to imagine that phone call - which means I’m writing fic in my head for a fanfic. That’s when you know it’s good, people.
Thanks for posting daily… looking forward to the next part of this masterpiece!
