Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: The Magic of Love (7/33)

Big conversations -- that should answer some of those questions about how much she knows about his past experience, or lack thereof.

*melts* I love this chapter! Everything is out in the open now except one super revelation. I can’t wait for more! Thank you!

Okay I’m officially swooning now, Clark is everything a girl could ask for in a guy. Loved how Lois was so proud to see his byline in the newspaper especially knowing that even though he is clearly a great teacher, it had not been his life plan. The two of them working together on her article is all shades of cute too. Waiting with baited breath for the next chapter. Hope the big revelation will come soon and that Luthor is caught soon.

Bonus points if you can identify all four episodes that contributed dialogue to this chapter.

Yay, he told her about his lack of experience. I'm still wondering whether he will tell her about his powers before they finally cross the threshold. Thanks for another great chapter.

One of the things that makes this storyline so interesting is their lack of professional competitiveness. This makes it so much easier for Lois to fall for Clark. The spectre of Claude was playing on Lois much more in the series due to their professional relationship. While still there in this story, it is less of a direct comparison to this relationship and hence less intrusive.

Cool job though I am still waiting for Lex to show up.

All right, I like a good challenge. All four eps… 20 years ago I could’ve done it in my sleep, but now, well, it’ll be interesting, to say the least!

Okay, so the scene with Clark cooking and Lois watching - “what, you’re never cooking?” is ‘A Chip off the old Clark’ (and yes, I always loved that scene in the show. It’s a spot that was worn on the vhs tape I made

Next, the “I had a really nice time/don’t knock yourself out, Lois” convo is from their first date ep - lucky Leon, right?

Moving on… the “I have been in love with you/you had to have known” convo was from when he first confessed his love for her before she was going to marry lex. And I know they are two separate eps, but I hung around with H way too long and only refer to them as a singular “BatP/HoL” ep, haha.

Last one - ugh, you had to hit me with S4, didn’t you? I remember the “I couldn’t get past your article/it’s first rate” lines but I have no idea of the ep name. It’s the one where the guy trades bodies with Clark. I think I only ever watched the beginning scene of that ep. Can I get half credit for that?

Loved this part, ladies! Seeing them grow as a couple, have some serious ‘couple’ conversations… sprinkle in some solid make out time and I’m a happy reader. Can’t wait for part 8!

Tracey, I believe that S4 quote is from I've Got You Under My Skin! I recognized the other three, but not this one until I read your comments! You've got a great memory!

She's got a great memory because she literally wore out the VHS tapes watching the kissing scenes.



The part with the upside down kiss? Shocking.

Seriously, nice work with the quote recognition game. I'm impressed after all this time.

And a personal note, my very favorite part of working in the quotes was changing them to fit this universe, and I especially liked when I could take a line and flip it to to make it happier, like having her say "All my life" to looking for Clark rather than Superman. And changing the context of the "you had to have known" dialogue, was absolutely my favorite flip in this entire series. That scene always broke my heart, and I love hearing it say it here in a totally different context.

Similarly, I always hated how they handled the topic of his virginity, with her freaking out and making it all about the pressure it put on her. So I went ahead and fixed that too.

Annie, I love the way you fix things!

BTW, did you notice that shocking upside down kiss did not occur in the script? It was a simple kiss on the cheek! Or maybe you managed to sneek onto the set and fix that too!! If so, thank you.
