I second the others - good luck with your move!
As for your brilliant fic, right now I feel as if I don't know if I can go on reading it. The problem is that it is too well-written, too finely chiselled and psychologically felt, so that I care far, far too much about your characters to be able to bear what I fear is awaiting them. Personally I have never learnt the trick of having a "good cry" at a fictional story. If I cry when I read or watch something fictional, it is because I feel deeply, deeply hurt, heartbroken or horrified. One time when I had that kind of a "bad cry" in a movie theater was when I watched "Superman II", and I don't know how many times I have lashed into that movie with vitriolic bitterness in the folders here. The reason, of course, is that I so bitterly hated what that movie did to Superman and Lois, which is why I cried in the first place.
So I'm afraid that something horrible is coming up in this fic, something that will destroy the wonderful family situation that you have created for Lois and Clark. I don't think it will be a Lois deathfic, which is the kind of fic I loathe most deeply, but it could be a Jon deathfic, a Martha-and-Jonathan deathfic, a "new baby" deathfic or a "Lois and Clark's secret identities are blown sky-high and they will be forced to live like fugitives with their loved ones for the rest of their lives" fic. Or, indeed, it could be a Lois deathfic. Or a Clark deathfic.
But the thing is, I'm getting the most awfully ominous vibes out of this, and I can't bear to be so heartbroken over an LnC fic. So I think I'll sit this one out, at least for a while.
