I can't believe I didn't respond to all these comments before now! Grief! Thanks so much for reviewing, everyone!
Queen of the Capes-- I completely get RL making fanfic time non-existent
Glad you liked the story
Shallowford-- Yeah, I'm partial to those reveals too. I like the self-realization approach with grace and tenderness
Morgana-- When I got the papercut idea it wouldn't let go ^_^
Darth Michael-- Glad you enjoyed it all, and thanks for the many thoughts
As for Lois having seen Luthor shot, does he count as someone she knew?
Songbird-- I felt after everything Clark had gone through that day, he needed a bit of a break
Anna B. the Greek-- Superman having to handle/cope with very human things is also a favorite of mine :3 Glad you enjoyed
