I love, love, love this story.
“Luthortopia”, as Lex had christened this ice-aged parallel Earth, was definitely not making Lois's list of top vacation destinations.
Lois pulled Clark's suit jacket tighter around herself
I just love the constancy of this jacket bit - so sweet, and so telling.
so there was no reason for her sleep to be interrupted by dreams of Superman coaxing her out of her clothes only to begin dousing her with his ice-breath instead of doing anything actually fun.
Such a fun detail to integrate. And what a crushing reality for Lois to return to!
She quickly did her best to reinvent hygiene
OMG, I'm dying over this wording!
Soft fur greeted her fingers instead of the synthetic material of the LexLabs thermal blankets.
Ope!
Before the pelt even hit the ground, the two of them were airborne.
This is SUCH a fun wrench to throw in plot-wise!
hahaha - nice touch!
Something about these two strangers felt inexplicably...right.
Awwwww! I love this little add-in. So magically theatrical to get a little hint of these two here.
I really adore that you understand this. I see theory/hypothesis/etc. glossed over as the exact same word/meaning SO many times. *happy sobs in nerd*
“Could she have been abducted by aliens?”
Clark lowered his glasses and briefly ran a light dose of heat-vision over Jimmy's quaking form.
OMG, the structure of this had me in STITCHES. So funny!
No, Superman was perfect, and it followed that any relationship he entered would be perfect too.
This is just such a brilliant line of thinking to attribute to her, in particular because it sets her up for such a fall.
He reached up to his own shoulders but, finding the lion skin absent...
Lois absently raised a hand to the lapel of Clark's suit jacket, which he had put around her shoulders when they first arrived in this frozen world.
I wish I had something more constructive to say that 'I love this' over and over, but I just looooove this. I love watching her figure it out through these kinds of intimate details of really knowing him, and not through a mistake of Clark's, or someone giving it away to her. The coat/lion pelt juxtaposition is just aces.
She inhaled. “HELP, SUPERMAN!”
I'm honestly just a little surprised that she didn't try this before, lol.
Going to try to jump right to the next chapter (and what I assume will be some sensational fireworks) before I run out of time!
