Dandello, Hey, I'm the first one to reply! Yay, me!!!Great story!  It's so like her not to let him get away with punishing himself which, as we know, Clark is so good at doing. Keep the stories coming. Hope you have a Happy New Year!

Nice job! It's been a long time since I've read a "post New-K" story; I like your take on what would've happened had Clark really gone to NK and the aftermath. Poor Clark, though.  (Of course, I love angst as much as the next person, so I'm certainly not complaining!) I really felt for him in this -- and for Lois -- and his parents! You did a great job conveying their sense of loss over what "used to be" and what "should be", etc. I'm glad it had a hopeful ending! Very sweet.

I haven't seen these episodes yet so I'm not familiar with details but you've captured the emotions between Clark and Lois so well. His confusion. Her trying to reach him. And we see them meeting in the middle. Nicely done.

Well done. Poignant, honest, and hopeful. I was waiting for that police analogy, and there it was. The end--even if Superman never came back, Clark was home--was perfect.
This *is* my happily ever after.

That was a quick resolution for them. Nice. Laura

Really well done. I'd write more, but I'm speechless with admiration. Angsty yet beautiful.

I loved it. When I saw the "Spoiler" word at the top, I skipped over that. It didn't take too long before I was thinking, "This feels like part of the Planes series." I went back at the end and there it was.  I think I need to revisit Plane Storm .  Bob

mmm, I don't think I've read anything (other than this) of the Plane series. Is there any list with the order that they should be read?
Books may look like nothing more than words on a page, but they are actually an infinitely complex imaginotransference technology that translates odd, inky squiggles into pictures inside your head.
