Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Stardust (2/?) or The True and Amazing Adventures of My Secret Alter Ego

Caroline, this story is magical.

Suddenly is hot here.

So Clark. So Lois. :rolleyes:

There are things about me you don't know - that you may never know... It's incredible like the roles are inverse here.

LOL!

So, there's no way he could hide his future alter-ego from her. Surely this will lead to an interesting scenario.

I won't quote their lovemaking because I'd have to quote everything. It's beautiful. Magical.

Oh, the conflict. :rolleyes:

Don't count on it, dear. She'll see Clark SOON. Right, Caroline?

This is too good. Come back with more, please.

Hi,

Great part.

I can't tell youhow much I'm loving this, Caroline. And I can't tell you how much I hate it that I have no time to quote.

It's no secret to those who read my FDK on these boards that I love the erotic attraction between Lois and Clark as well as the amazing soulmate bond that binds them together. It's also a fact that I want them to respond both to their soulmate bond and to the erotic attraction between them. This means, among other things, that I want them to make love.

This story is PG, so there are going to be no explicit sex scenes in it. And believe me, I'm not going to try to persuade you to include one. I love - totally love - the shimmering, gossamer-in-moonlight delicacy that you impart to the story of how Lois and Clark went to bed after knowing one another for perhaps two hours. Viewed from outside, and accompanied by an explicit nfic scene, it might have felt like a somewhat cheap, possibly even a slightly sordid encounter. But because you write the story the way you do, you make us feel how this encounter happens because Lois and Clark's soulmate bond establishes itself beyond all pretenses, masks and personas, and demands the joining of bodies to confirm the joining of souls. You make me feel that this was an experience that could only be truly felt by Lois and Clark themselves, from inside their bodies and inside their souls. The basic facts of what happened - namely, that Lois and Clark made love on the first night they met - can be acknowledged, but the inner truths of the processes between them and inside them can never be translated into anatomical details or into nfic scenes put on public display.

Thank you, Caroline. Thank you for telling a story where Clark and Lois establish their soulmate bond this way. Thank you for the tender sweetness of the near-inevitability of it, and thank you for stardust magical delicacy of it.

Now, Clark Kent has met and made love to his soulmate Wanda Detroit, who unfortunately doesn't really exist. And Lois Lane has allowed a very temporary persona of hers to experience the soul-shattering and soul-healing experience of (most temporarily) joining her heart, soul and body with Clark Kent's. Where will that leave Lois?

The heartbreak possibilities are endless here. I hope you will find a way to bring these two star-crossed lovers together again.

Thank you again for a beautiful, beautiful story.

Ah, does Lois do this kind of thing often? A little risky business there baby.

Loved it!!

hehehe, no kidding!!! Poor man, suffering through such sweet torture!

Oh, brilliant! Just a lil clumsy, I find it so cute!

I would have loved to see him try to explain away the dent in the lamppost, though. LOL! But that would surely have ruined the moment and... it's such a nice moment, I would have been sad if it had been ruined, really.

Poor Lois... if she only knew!

I believe this really is what someone in her position would be thinking - any other way would not have had the right ring to it.

Excellent work! Looking forward to next chapters!

Caroline...I cannot wait until Clark goes to work at the Daily Planet. That ought to be a bowl of worms.

Hurry back, now, y'hear?

Oh, please tell me that they see each other again. And if you're really nice, maybe it won't even be too awkward, and they will just realize that meeting again means they are supposed to be together. Ahh, a girl can dream, can't she??

Oh, boy. How can I write this so I don't offend anyone?

First, let me say that I love this story. I love the way Lois has to take on another persona to allow her heart to breathe. I love how she and Clark are attracted to each other at first sight. I really love how Clark almost walked into a lamppost while thinking of Lois - er, Wanda.

And that brings me to the part I don't love quite so much. Dancing, flirting, teasing, that's all part of the mating game, but having sex with someone who thinks you're someone else? Bad! And I don't understand why it seems to be okay with some of the other posters for Lois to hide her real identity from Clark while she sleeps with him, but it's completely horrible that Clark hid his part-time super-job from Lois while courting her. Mind you, I think he should have told her much earlier, and absolutely before he proposed. But isn't what Lois (Wanda) is doing just as bad, if not worse?

There have to be some serious complications coming up, even if she won't be pregnant. I'm sure Clark will meet Lois, and if he doesn't recognize her right away (and he might not, given the drastic differences between Wanda and Lois), we've got a situation where Clark is mooning over a non-existent woman, while her real bad (good?) self will be trying to figure out how to get closer to him without revealing who she really is/was/may-still-be. (Lois, you're not the only one who has trouble with verb tenses!)

Please don't think I'm busting you for what Lois has done here. And I really do want to read the rest of this. It's so very well-written, and you bring out the thoughts and emotions of both characters so well and so tenderly. I can hardly wait to see how you handle this situation. I'm sure it will be with gentleness and grace - well, maybe not at first, but eventually.

Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to comment. As always, I appreciate it very much.

It was interesting reading the different reactions to this part, and I admit to hoping there would *be* different reactions. I can't respond to all of them without giving the story away, but I will say, just because there seemed to be some confusion, that I didn't intend to suggest that Lois was habitually promiscuous. I guess in my head I've been going along with the fanon convention (I think it's fanon - can't remember it ever being addressed specifically in the show) that she pretty much swore off men after the Claude fiasco. So this is aberrant behavior for her just as it is for Clark. Which does not make it smart behavior or safe behavior - just atypical.

She certainly can . I'm kind of dreaming of it myself since it would save me a ton of writing! Alas, however, the course of true love rarely runs that smoothly for Lois and Clark.

ETA, now that I'm awake: Ann, thank you so much for this:

I don't write explicit sex scenes. Full stop. And I can't tell you how many times I've been told that I "skip the best parts". Erotica is incredibly hard to write, and I have nothing but respect for authors who do it well, but I'm not one of them. There are authors in this fandom who, I have no doubt, could have written a perfectly lovely nfic scene for this story, but if I'd tried to write it, it would have come off sounding like cheap porn - which is *definitely* not what I wanted here. Thank you so much for recognizing that and for accepting the story for what it is.

Terry, I didn't feel "busted" by your comments at all. In fact, I appreciated them very much. I'm in the camp that feels that neither Lois nor Clark has exhibited much in the way of good judgment so far. This doesn't mean that their attraction isn't genuine and real or even that they're not really 'soulmates' who basically fell in love at first sight. That can all still be true. It just means that their response to that attraction was precipitous and, yes, will have complications.

Because without the complications, where would be the story?

Thanks again to all who took the time to comment!

Caroline

Caroline is writing another story! Shouldn't there be special icon for that?


Nice revearsal.


However I wonder about this, I can see Lois out flirting, she certainly isn’t averse to playing on her sexuality.
But I have a hard time imagining Lois having a one night stand with a man she doesn’t know anything about. She is a control freak and gives a burnt impression in the beginning of the series.
The fact that she is attracted to a stranger, for real, should make her want to run away screaming.

And Clark is just as deliberate in his own way. But depending on what is seen as constraining his sexual debut I could see him swept away by a soul mate thing.

Please don't tell me he won't recognize her when he shows up at the planet.

Marcus,
I think the problem is that Lois has a serious crush on Superman, Clark knows that and is trying to court her as Clark Kent at the same time. He manipulates the relationship so it will be on his terms. Clark or Superman is a false choice yet he demands that she makes it.(Now I don't think it quite that simple.)

Lois have given the stranger a fake name and offers him no strings attached sex, supposedly every single man’s wish. She makes it clear that he she isn’t interested in anything more. What he sees it what he gets.

First let me say Wonderful, delightful, very well done.

Moving onward
So right from the start you've led us to expect that there will be something of a gap, weeks, months, years?, between when this meeting happens and when they get together.

So I'm thinking, you will have Clark end up taking a reporting job elsewhere and flys back to prowl around looking for Lois.

Lois having met "The One" does not go out as Wanda for a period of time and than against her better judgement does, but not looking for a fling with someone new but instead looking for Clark.

They meet and over a few months draw closer and yet more apart.

At last Clark has enought of a body of work that the Planet hires him.

so now Lois & Clark meet at the planet.......
