Yeah, if Clark were to act this way normally, Lois *would* kill him, 20 years of marriage or not! However, since he can't control himself in this fic, I figure that she wouldn't blame him and just try to put up with it, lol.
The "Why aren't we naked" line - I was actually inordinately proud of myself for thinking of this.
I know I shouldn't be, since it's just the simple opposite of a very common line in fanfics. (Lois and Clark waking up together because of pheromones or some other reason and shrieking "Why are we naked??") Irony in action
It's actually very exciting for me to see that at least some people are enjoying these things! I was a longtime lurker in what is apparently called "FOLCdom" before I actually started posting.
I guess I thought that my perspective might be too unconventional - my favorite moments in the show were the parts where Clark was doing normal things (getting arrested, having to hire a lawyer, getting into a sex scandal, etc.)
In my mind, I imagine the L&C universe divided into two parts - the years before the world knows the secret, and the years after. When I first started reading fanfics, I was surprised and that not many stories involved Clark's secret being blown. ("When the World Finds Out" by CC Aiken and "Sex, Truth, and Revelations" by Adam Labotka are the only two that I can think of that are more than just a couple of scenes)
For me, the show was about *humor* and not relationships. It's just that the relationship was mostly what made the show funny - I loved the whole secret identity thing. Plus I thought that the whole alien on human thing was kind of kinky
So anyways, I really wasn't sure if anyone else at all would even be interested in reading a fic about a public Super family that focused on the "trying to lead normal lives" and the "Whoa, Superman has a human wife...and he's *intimate* with her...and they have a teenage son!" aspects of it.
But then I read "The Talk" by Queen of the Capes, which was pure genius in combining all of these elements perfectly in a short fic that didn't waste so much space like mine tend to do.
That one was pretty well received on these boards, so I thought: maybe there are some like-minded people out there! Thus, I finally worked up the nerve to make my first post and start writing Just a Normal (Super) Kid out of thoughts which had been sitting in my head for months.
So, as you can see, it is I who am not worthy. :p
