Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic Comments: Hide and Seek (1/1)

HOPE?!? HOPE!!!

Let me tell you a thing about hope... How long have I been pestering you to finish that other fic that I've read like 6 parts of and then you left me hanging? Hmmm?

<sniffle>

So I HOPE you don't leave me hanging for much longer. Don't make me smack you you have lots of talent! <g>

There's one more thing I have to say about this fic:

First they were hiding from each other, both of them. But now there is a revelation, and it's so perfect. No pompous "Lois, I'm Superman" declaration (certainly not right away anyway - and when it comes, it's not pompous). And no dramatic ripping open of his shirt, popping a few buttons in the process, to reveal a red and yellow 'S' shield on blue spandex. Just Clark Kent, in decade-old sweat pants, wrapping his arms around his loved one and flying her to the moon. Or part of the way to the moon, anyway.

Because that's who he really is. Very much so in this fic, when he has stopped hiding from her. When he isn't replacing one mask with another, but when he lets her see who he really is.

I just cannot count the ways I love this!! (I'm going to try, mind you, but I know I'm not going to get it right.)

First, the atmosphere is wonderful. I'll just echo everyone else. So beautifully drawn I felt as if I was *there*. I admire that so much. I love when a writer makes me completely forget that I'm reading.

And then there were just so many, many gems begging to be quoted. I could have picked lots more, but I went with:

Perfect, perfect, perfect.

Thank you for such a lovely, smart, warm, funny read.

Extra hugs to Sue, Lara and DJ for bolstering my ego! (Your chocolate cake is in the mail, ladies.)

Ann, I'm beyond flattered that this story stuck with you long enough that you came back to make more comments. Your FDK always brings new thoughts to light for me, even - and perhaps especially - in my own stories. Thank you!

CC, thank you for your comments! I'm especially grateful for this:

As I mentioned to DJ, the environment around the characters is something I struggle with, so that fact that it worked for you here pleases me very much.

And now, without further ado, I'm going to go hide from DJ!

Aww, Lisa, this was wonderful! I really enjoyed it! Thanks!!

I also loved how there "date" was really a spontaneous walk. James will whole-heartedly confess that we fell in love taking late-night strolls together around this neighborhood and that.
