Nice, Sarah! I just now caught up with both parts and I enjoyed them both -- but especially the second one
I think it was wise of you to not try to re-write the A-plot -- you showed the important bits in flashback, and that was perfectly sufficient. I just loved watching Lois realize that Clark was leaving the choice entirely up to her, even if it would break his heart... and then loved the way she demonstrated her choice
Very sweet vignette, and *much* more satisfying than the original episode...
