I, too, thought it was a vey nice story. I very, very much liked the Egyptian angle, with mummies and sarcophagi. It gave the story an exotic, mysterious feeling.
I liked the Dougal fiasco, too. Well... I mean... it was interesting that Perry would make Dogual Lois's partner (just because she was so furious at Clark at the time, if I remember it correctly), and then it was so horrible and yet somehow satisfying that Dougal was plotting her death (I knew it! The
creep!!!!), and it was
extremely satisfying that Dougal was defeated and tried and found guilty, too.
I was glad that the governor was forced to step down, too. The creep! But... Mindy Church!!! Oh, Anna, you had me groaning. Unfortunately, I agree with you. Mindy Church
would be acquitted, and for a very simple reason. She is filthy rich, and therefore she can afford the very best lawyers. The very best lawyers in America, who will charge their clients a fortune, are so good at their job that they will almost certainly get their clients acquitted. After I followed the O.J. Simpson trial, I firmly believe that. But oh, how maddeningly irritating it is!!!
For all of that, I enjoyed the court scenes, and with my extremely limited experience I found them very realistic.
I very much enjoyed the very sweet scenes between Lois and Clark, too. This was lovely:
This, she realised, is what life was going to be like with Clark; being swept off her feet constantly by the little things he did. The sweet, charming and loveable things; the strong, yet tender and considerate things; the farm boy slash flyboy things. All the things that made him exactly who he was, whether he wore a suit and tie or another kind of suit altogether: Clark.
Aaaawwwww!!!! *happy sigh*
I was highly tempted in the last scene to mention that Lois wouldn't mind joining Clark's 'mile high club'
Heh. Actually, Anna, there
is a story tucked away somewhere in the nfic folder on these boards, where Lois
does join Clark's 'mile high club'! Clark and Lois are off to see Clark's parents, and they will stay with them for perhaps a week. Lois warns Clark that they may not be able to do "that" for a week, and Clark, who is at that time transporting Lois via 'Superman express', does the equivalent of a very slow 'spin' which removes his Superman suit without replacing it with his Clark clothes, and... I'll let everybody's imagination fill in the rest!
If you want an epilogue (with maybe a wedding in it...?), let me know. I'll write one if there's demand for one. I'd kinda like to have one myself... But we'll see.
Sure! I'd be very happy to see an epilogue with their wedding in it. (I'd be even happier if you'd give us at least a little hint of what their honeymoon is like, too....
)
