I join the admiring chorus and add that the way you write sometimes makes me want to cry.

The feeling of hopelessness that shadows Lois as she haunts the Planet every day nursing her coffee and watching Alt Clark go by. The way Clark embraces the ghost that sleeps beside him each night making him capable of getting up each day. And the ending..*sob* that was quoted before but just was so powerful I have to quote it again.......

Quote
He stopped her in a way entirely different than that other guy would have done. He lowered his voice, whispered, “Thank God for that, Lois. Stay. Stay as long as you want.” And he stepped across and took her into his arms. Lois fell into him, and cried until she slept.
Please, oh please, post soon!

Lois: Can I go?
Clark: No.
Lois: Oh come on, Clark, why do we go through this? We both know I’m going to go.
Clark: Then why do you ask?
Lois: I’m trying to be nice.
