Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: The Man Under the Suit, Part 29/31

Feedback goes here.

If you'd like to see the inspiration for this version of Cat Grant, go read JDG's delightful little gem, Apologia.

Part 30 Monday. And don't panic--Part 31 is twice as long as the others, so we really do have space to wrap everything up.

No time to write much now, but I loved the gestural conversation between Caleb/Clark and Cat, engagement revelation, and the ending line.

Is Monday here yet?

Joy,
Lynn

Delightful.

Drat Cat will be scooped by the TV news when they see Lois with Clark Friday night. Sunday editions of major newspapers are shipping by Saturday afternoon. So the interview can't show up in the Planet till Monday. That gives the TV crews all weekend.

Pity the interview couldn't happen Friday Afternoon and appear in the Saturday AM edition or the Sunday edition. Then the TV news folks would only have the late Friday news slot.

I assume you did this because of your evil plan to attack Superman at Lex Luthor’s fundraiser Friday night?

That makes sense but I would think Lois, not knowing about your evil plan to attack her new husband, would be alert to the issue of the Planet getting things in print ASAP.

Patrick,

You forget that this is Metropolis. In a world where a murder one trial only takes two weeks, the same timing rules don't apply...even to weekend newspapers. :p

Great part! I too enjoyed the non-verbal communication between Cat and Clark. I hope we get to be up close and personal at the Cat - Clark interview in the next part where all is revealed. I'm eager to see how that goes.
Looking forward to Monday!

Aww, that was a nice buildup to the crescendo. Cat was lot's of fun, can't wait to see when she will find out what, i.e. about the wedding, about the bride, or the identity of Caleb.

Plus, finally a reason to look forward to Monday. On the other hand, it will be Monday after work for me, so

Really liked this part together with Cat's gestural conversation with Clark... uhm... Caleb. I'm looking forward to the big reveal when everyone, especially Perry and Cat, find out that Lois married Clark Kent, the famous writer

Clark is going stag Friday night. Presumably Cat's interview is designed to make it into the Saturday afternoon edition, possibly with more in-depth follow-up Sunday.

I just had to pop my head up to say how happy I am that this story has gone active again.

Oh no, that means Lois won't be there to help him with the Kryptonite exposure.

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Michael, in the U.S., the consolation for Monday back-to-work syndrome is Monday Night Football, but only in the fall/winter.

Thanks, Amy, for catching what I missed in Patrick's feedback. To be honest, Patrick, I hadn't even thought about weekend newspaper schedules being any different from the weekday ones. Where I grew up, the Sunday supplements would come out Saturday afternoon, but there was still a Sunday morning newspaper with the actual news.

Part 30 is up.
