WOW! A new Female Hawk fic. You don't know, since you were already gone when I joined the fandom, but you wrote osme of my alltime favorite fics, so I was super-excited when seeing you're back on Lc fics.
And the new on ealready looks very promissing. As per usual with your fics, there is a lot of mystery going on already. So, we're not getting exposition dumps and instead start off right where the characters are now. Which is intriguing. There are, as the others said, so many questions on what's going on with Lois. Why is this Jack (my first thought was also THAT JAck but I guess not), whom she apparently never met, is so important to her/why wants she to meet him? What hapened that essentially destroyed her journalism carreer? Why is she a lot more, ah, open to Clark's presence and less full of prejudices against rural people? What does Clark know about Jack that makes him uncomfortable? And speaking of Clark, what's going on on his end of the story? Why is he still around on the farm despite him clearly feeling a desire to explore the world? I assume it it somehow related to the apparent absence of Jonathan (dead?). So much stuff to look forward. And of course Martha is a keeper as we know her.
I'm excited and will definitely stick around for this one since I never regretted reading any of your fics. Now I'm going on to the next installment.
