I was beginning to miss this sort of angst on the boards. So imagine my happiness when I saw this fic.
So many threads to weave, what with the attack, the aftermath and the revelation all in one. Once more Sue promises and delivers. I felt that she tackled the attack with tact and sensitivity without losing it's visceral terror and the ensuing consequences. I didn't feel the damsel-in-distress from Lois, but rather a wrenching portrayal of her steps to collect herself. In a one-parter too!
I mentioned this to Sue, but I'll state it here--I particularly enjoyed the twist that she gave the revelation. Since to me finding out that _Clark_ was Superman made things for her much easier (Clark himself points it out when he changes into his ordinary clothes not to frighten her). The space between Clark and Superman I gathered was a bit of a comfort here whereas it usually works in the opposite way.
Just excellent, as always. *happy sigh*
