Thanks guys! There's nothing nicer than coming home late on a rainy night to find feedback waiting for you.
I'm sorry if I made anyone cry at work. It was a
happy ending, you know? I thought maybe I'd get an "awww" or a roll of the eyes over how I've become so sappy lately. <g>
I was delighted, however, to see that some of my favorite details in this fic were commented on. Lois did figure it out on the show - and she handled it gracefully. It seemed right to me that her biggest concern would not be that Clark had been lying, but that it was entirely possible he was still alive.
A gold star on the forehead for Pam, who picked up on the fact that, just like they had joked about the night before, she kissed him on the cheek before asking him to fly her somewhere. Originally I played that up more, but I edited it out in favor of rewarding those with an eye for detail.
I'm also glad that you picked up on the symmetry of the closing lawyer joke. I thought it was a fun way to have her reveal that she had figured him out.
And DJ? Thanks for nagging Sue. It's appreciated.
Oh, let's not encourage her! She nags me enough already. She's already making little hints and noises about the next fic I owe her. She's a mean taskmistress (or is that "taskmaster"?).
So now will there be an nfic epilogue?
Heh - nice try, Laura. What part of "I'm no longer writing nfic" am I not stating clearly?
Thanks again for the feedback. I think this little confection is one of my favorites, so it's very heartening to see it get some love.
Congrats on the Pulitzer, Jen! Speech! Speech!
