awww!!! You guys have me all teary eyed! I can't tell you how happy I am that you liked this! ...unlike Caroline, WAFF is *not* my default setting (comedy and Batman seem to be mine... *lol*) and I must admit that while I didn't exactly struggle to write this, I was a little apprehensive about posting it - I really wasn't sure that it "worked" the way I saw it in my head...
As for a sequel... for now I'm going to say "I don't know" because I have other things in the works. But I'm not one to say "never" so who knows...
QueenOfAces - you know... if you had asked me a few years ago if I liked the opera, I would have said no, not at all. But I do enjoy it now. I suppose it has something to do with the frame of mind you're in - or the company? Mind you, there are operas that aren't nearly as fun to see as others. Il barbiere di Seviglia is a great one to see. I love it because it's amusing and it's romantic. Rigoletto is also a nice one, it's tragic despite it's name and, in my opinion, it's a beautiful love story.
Laura - hi!!

Thank you for the comments!!
I love how the Lois/Clark/Superman love triangle is repeated in literature and song earlier on.
Hehe! So do I! And there are soooooo many!! When I first got the idea to write a story that would have them see an opera, I did a bit of research and you have no idea how many I found that I could have used instead of this one. Stories where someone does something heroic and doesn't take the least bit of credit for it - or does it under an assumed identity, for instance the story of the Scarlet Pimpernel (though I'm not sure there's an opera for that one). It's great because there's lots of possibilities and lots of inspiration to be taken from these.
Caroline - I can't even begin to tell you what your comment means to me. I can barely see the keyboard and the screen well enough to type anything anyway... Thank you *so* much!!
Oooh! Jackie! You posted while I was reponding. *lol* Thank you for the comments, I'm really glad you liked it!!
