Michael's comment (from Deadly Chakram's latest story, Contractually Bound ): Although, there’s still Kal. He can marry Luci. got me thinking. Hmmmm. What if Clark (or Kal-El as this case shows) had married Lucy first and she died in some kind of kidnapping / ransom gone bad? Then Clark and Lois banded together to find Lucy's killers and ended up falling in love themselves. (Yes, my mind doesn't work like others, why do you ask?) Or has that been done?

Interesting take. I like the idea of Clark being a widower (no surprise, coming from angst-ridden me  ). It's a very different idea with Lucy being the deceased wife- very clever. I can't, but perhaps this will strike someone else's fancy? Ooh. And what if Clark reallly was desperately in love with Lucy? So we get to see moody and depressed Clark along the way? Perhaps Lucy and Clark ran off and eloped, and he's never met Lois before? Or, more likely (since Clark's not usually that type of guy), Lois just was too busy to care about her sister's wedding or just hasn't gotten around to meeting him. Lots of possibilities here... Yeah. Somebody should definitely take this on.

So in your story, Clark would be Gertrude and Lois and Lucy would be Claudius and Hamlet lol. Do you mean Hamlet's mom and uncle? Because I believe Hamlet himself was engaged to the woman who drowned (name escapes me). And wouldn't that mean that Lois would have to kill off her own sister to get Clark? I believe I don't think I'd like a L&C who would conspire to kill off Lucy, so that they could marry. Lana, maybe, but not Lucy.

Hamlet himself was engaged to the woman who drowned (name escapes me). Ophelia. 
Lois: You know, I have a funny feeling that you didn't tell me your biggest secret.
Clark: Well, just to put your little mind at ease, Lois, you're right.

Chick who went ballistic when finding out her lover killed her father and then drowned herself. I love Shakespeare.

Terry is working on completing this series. Both stories are excellent by the way.
