Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Awaken My Heart (27/?)

Because in a society as sexist as this one, can you imagine the penalty for adultery? By the Supreme Ruler's wife, no less? This is Za's way of asking Kal's permission for her to have a lover on the side without him outing her and denouncing her child as a bastard, in the literal sense of the word.

Hey, thanks for all the FDK

Emma Thanks for both posts!


Re your comments about Lois - I agree - she has lost so much. While her relationship with Kal was going well, it was easier for her to gloss over her grief.

Now, it has hit her - and she doesn't even have Kal to cling to.

Thanks for picking up that. I put it in there to show that, despite everything, Lois still thinks she will marry Kal.

cookiesmom Glad you liked it!

Nor's plan ... they need to do something, don't they?

Thanks.

Kathy

Thank you - that's what I was trying for.

Laura Thanks for you comments, Laura. I'll try to keep the wait for 28 as short as possible.

Iolanthe No point having baddies if they aren't evil!!

Ann Good solution, except ... it wouldn't work.

There will be *contact* between Nor and Lois. Sort of.

I'm glad some of it makes more sense now.

Remember, when Lois said 'Earth', Kal heard the Kryptonian translation, which may not be the same. Here on Earth, we can't even call another country what the inhabitants of that country call it.

Lois will make a *statement*. Kal will find it more than enough.


Kathy

What have you been feeding her???


Carol Thanks. Can't say anything else.


Aretmis Thanks - glad you liked the twist.


lcfan

The next one is worse!

Only if Re-Set didn't totally re-set.

Thanks for your FDK!

Amy

That is an awesome idea.

Amber Lois and Za would be a great team.

Thanks!

Michael

Ooh, nice picture, Michael.

Yep - definitely borrowed from the show there.

No. Lois and Kal have no knowledge of it.

Nor did - but until this part, his thoughts were kept vague.

Kal has been the Supreme Ruler for over ten years - 125 months as Nor was well aware.

I thought about Krypton not having 12 months to a year (why would they?), but it added nothing to the story, so left it.

There's nothing wrong with Nor's timing - he's too obsessed to get that wrong.

I like your crazy idea, Michael.

Thanks for such wonderful FDK.

In the FDK after Kal revealed his secret, there were certainly plenty who thought it was a little stretched. I could say very little without giving away too much.

As already said, the next one is worse.

(But it gets better after that.)

Dandello Unless ...??


Thanks everyone.

I just sent 30 to Iolanthe.

28 ... maybe tomorrow.


Corrina.

I was re-reading this and two things caught my attention.

This reminded me of the show. "Lois, I'm Super-" And then the phone rings!

Also I was thinking more about where Kal was raised, New Krypton or Earth. If he was raised on Earth by Martha and Jonathan, it seems very cruel to rip him away from them after 16 years. Kip doesn't sound like that type of person. It may have been a great way to protect him, but that just sounds cruel. So I think I'm leaning more towards the raised-in-seclusion-on-NK-by-Kip scenerio..... At least for now!

This story does leave you with a lot to think about.


Edit:
I have another scenario. Maybe Kal was raised on Earth by Jor-El and Lara. Kryptonian would have been his native language, but he also would’ve learned English to blend in with other people. He would have been taught all about Krypton. Jor and Lara would’ve understood that Kal would have to be returned to New Krypton, as he is the only one who could unite the North and the South. Regardless, that would be one of the hardest things for a parent to do. That would make Jor and Lara the grieving parents under a yellow sun.
Like I said, lots to think about!

I love all the speculation between parts. You're good at the cryptic FDK-FDK Corrina, I'm more intrigued than ever now!

Part 28 ready yet?! - not that I could ever be called impatient. Like I've said before, I'm so torn between being desperate to know what happens next and never wanting this fic to end.

Em

Corrina, it's already way into 'tomorrow' in Australia, isn't it?

/sits there, willing part 28 to magically appear/

Michael

PS: No pressure, but only one part already back from BR and one more part with BR will not be considered sufficient cause for a decrease in posting frequency. That's canon law, written in the second and fifth volume of the North and South Kryptonian Law, respectively. You see, both sides have been very considerate as far as fic-addicts are concerned.

I was just thinking - in a society as patriarchal and misogynistic as this one seems to be, Za would have a good reason to prove she wasn't infertile. In fact, I'm surprised someone hadn't already made the suggestion to Kal that he take a second wife some time ago - not Nor, obviously, but someone else. Of course, it's also possible that Za has been given contraceptives on the sly.

lcfan Two well-thought out scenarios.

Thanks.

Emma

I've discovered how hard it can be to respond without appearing to agree or disagree!!

Michael

It probably was, but I usually sleep for the first 7 or so hours of each day!

As for your PS -

Dandello

None of Kal's concubines have had children either, so it would be a reasonable assumption that getting a second wife may not get the desired child.

Thanks Dandello,


Corrina.

Poor Lois now I understand why she reacted that way when Clark met Zara.

I nearly forgot that I stopped reading this due to the lack of time. Now I can't understand how I could forget this wonderful story.
