so sweet, I definitely want more! ❤️

Aww, that was so heartwarming and bittersweet as well. Mini-Lois is adorable. Poor Clark, too. He definitely has had a rough time. Which...mkaes a lot of sense though, in his situation. I always thought the sohw went over the implications of AltClark's background situation too smoothly. Like losing his parents at that age before all the powers manifested would be such a screw-up but it hardly seemed to have affected him there. Glad that isn't the case here.
Its also nice to see that Clark does recognize the "creepy" factor of the whole situation, so to speak. He knows and understands that and why his actions could be interpreted as very questionable at best, but he also wants some self-indulgent comfort and wants to give Lois something back for her, well, being herself.
On a long-form thinking scale, the huge age gap does raise questions, obviously...but then, Clark does not age like a regular human anyways. There's a good chance that when Lois reaches, say, her twenties, Clakr doesn't look much older and all. It would not make too much of a difference for osmeone presumably living for two-three lifetimes at least, so...eh.
But lets not go that fast forward. For now, the questions are, how will this encounter affect both Lois and Clark and their lives, both individually and together, going forward? Will Clark return for another night? If not, will they see each other again and when? Ah, the possibilities...intirguing.
Great little story and, In case you haven't guessed it already, I absolutely would love to see this world continued with more fic(let)s.

Awww, thank you.



Yeah, the age gap is definitely a factor, though couples with an age gap of 13 years aren't that uncommon. It's decidedly creepy as long as Lois is 18 and Clark 31. Not so creepy anymore when Lois is 40 and Clark 53.

We'll see. For the time being all they're going to become is friends. I think of Clark as Lois not so imaginary imaginary friend.

Thank you so much for the feedback.

Yes! Ficlet Friday returns!

Oh my goodness Bakasi! We are squarely in the midst of an alternative universe. There are so many questions which desperately need answers. Please continue.

Hi Barbara!
A new tradition?

Okay, so what’s up with the early flight?
CLARK: Lots of sunlight in the Midwest.

This whole thing of course assumes that the girl is Lois.

But Clark does feel older. What’s going on?



An Alt-U variant.

I’m pretty sure there was one or two appropriate costumes in sitcoms over the past few decades.

No sword.

Okay, does that make Lex Captain Hook?

Oh dear!

*that’s* where Lois’s unhealthy disrespect for the laws of physics comes from. No wonder she almost dies all the time.

He’s so going to end up in prison and barred from flying past a school within 200 yards.

Sweet beginning. I sure hope you weave another magical tale from it!

Wow, I hope you continue this. A very different universe at different points of life of our favorite characters ^_^. I wonder how this set up would impact them long term.

Thanks so much to all of you. I will try to continue this. Can't promise the regular schedule I somehow managed for MagiKal, because that tale was truly magical in the way it just came together. But now that that muse has an idea, she might be more inclined to cooperate.

I love this.
Peter Pan is so much fun and young Lois needs a friend.
Of course, I am also concerned about the age difference. I curious to see how you will resolve that should you continue this - which ai really hope you do. Please do.

This is different from the show and I’m curious as to where you’ll take this. Lois at any age is smart and curious. Clark might be in over his head. Thanks! I’m looking forward to more.

This is so sweet!

My first thought was what is child Lois doing talking to a stranger? The second was well it‘s unreal, a man flying by? A fairy? Yeah probably what child Lois would think.

And it is really interesting exploring Clark coming into his powers without the support of Martha and Jonathan.

Welcome to the boards. It's always great if someone decides to delurk and join the fun.


That's exactly what I thought. When I was reading about Peter Pan and thought there were actually similarities between Clark visiting Lois as Superman and Peter coming to Wendy, I felt that this scenario was the only that would work: a Lois well in the age of believing in magic, where she wouldn't really question that a flying man passes her window, and a Clerk Kent who is even longer than our Clark.

Thanks so much for your feedback.
