Hi All  I hope you liked the story. I wish you all a merry merry Christmas. Hopefully next year I will make time to write more than one story a year. MDL.

You haven't lost your touch if that was your worry. That was wonderful. I love that she knew it was Clark by his voice only without her sight to cloud her vision.

Hi MDL. I'm one of the newbies around here and I think this is my first chance to say hello. This was cute. I think Clark is lucky that Lois already had a few drinks before he arrived. To have "Clark" suddenly appear *inside* her apartment might normally have been greeted with a bit more scrutiny. In any case, this was very nice. Thanks for Christmas gift.  Bob

Ah, that was sweet. Maybe a tad too bittersweet for me. It reminds me of all those years when I read the Superman comics and there seemed to be moments like this one all the time. 'Maybe next year. Maybe next year I'll tell her. Maybe next year I'll really show her my love.' But he never did, not until John Byrne gave the caped hero an extreme makeover and essentially turned him into another person. It took the extreme makeover Superman only three years to propose to Lois. But the Superman I grew up with never did. (Well, technically he did in the end, after Jimmy and Perry and Lana had been killed, and Clark's Superman identity had been exposed, and he had lost his powers and his job as a reporter. But he didn't propose to her until his life as Superman and Clark Kent was completely and finally over.)
Now that's bittersweetness, not entirely unlike this fic.

(Lab, I know your birthday is coming so accept this as my present for you) Hey, you know what an even better present was? Seeing your name back in the fanfic folder!  What a lovely surprise on Christmas Eve. And even better to hear that you're staying with us! Welcome home, buddy!  This was cute! LabRat

Merry Christmas, Erica, and welcome back! This was a sweet twist on Space Rats and I actually expected Clark to be in costume when he saved Lois. The darkness, the open window, the hints where strewn all over the place like Lois Christmas tree  The only thing I didn't see coming, was the reversal on the last scene in TOGOM Michael

I enjoyed it immensely!
Sorry I cannot leave a longer post... I am being called.
I've converted to lurk-ism... hopefully only temporary.
