Well, although I haven't had a chance to post feedback on any stories for about three weeks I have been managing to keep up on at least some of the stories posted...like this one.

My heart has ached for the pain and agony that *our* Clark has gone through with the loss of Lois, and for Lois as she has tried to figure out what has happened to her and how she can get back to her world. And certainly for alt-Clark, especially as I was expecting his suffering when Lois would return and leave him alone...

But right now, after reading the revelation to Henderson – which I just loved, by the way, so completely understated – this story has taken a totally different twist from what I was expecting. I think my jaw dropped to the floor and just stayed there the entire time... whinging

2. Assuming that Lois gets back safely to our-Clark, I’m still not sure if this can work out. I don’t know how much time elapsed before Lois married alt-Clark – part of me wishes that she had held out forever and the two of them had only worked together as friends, but part of me also recognizes the attraction that she would have felt for him as Clark’s counterpart, and as a wonderful person in his own right. So I guess I don’t blame Lois for making a life for herself in the alt-universe when it seemed that there was no way that she could get back to her own world – and I assume that Clark won’t blame her either. But the fact that it is his counterpart will probably be both flattering and problematical for him.
Alt-Clark knew that our-Clark was Lois’ true love when they married, and he accepted that. But our-Clark was only dating Lois for a few months before she disappeared – he hadn’t even revealed his secret to her yet. How will he know that *he* is, in fact, her true love, and not alt-Clark? How will he know, without any doubts, that *he* is the Clark that she is truly seeing when she looks at him or takes him in her arms? At night, under cover of darkness, how will he know that she is with him? I don’t know if he’d ever be able to put all of those doubts completely aside – the question is, would these doubts cripple their relationship? eek

3. And although I’m assuming that alt-Lois will eventually settle into a wonderful relationship with alt-Clark, there would be similar issues there as mentioned above. Alt-Clark may have felt alt-Lois slamming into his heart like a hammer, but alt-Lois doesn’t seem to have experienced the same phenomenon. She won’t be easily convinced, if at all, that she’s not taking our-Lois’ place.

I’m really curious to see Part 5 – looking forward to it immensely. This is wonderful writing, CC – you can see that I’m definitely emotionally invested in this story... [Linked Image]
