Good instalment.
With this you managed to move this from just another BoTP/HoL rewrite, to a more interesting ASU diversion.
This could be fun. You've painted a nice picture of a woman (Lois) who has and is dealing with her mistakes, and her losses, yet is moving on with her life in a positive manner. Too often, with the knowledge of Clark's death, writer's put Lois in a severe tailspin where she never recovers until she's able to 'find' Clark again.
Lois is stronger than that. While, she will definitely miss Clark. Probably til the day she dies. She would still 'suck it up' and move on with her life.
Way to go Lois. Of course, I'm assuming there'll be some complications coming soon.
