Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: A Father's Kryptonite 4/5

Thanks so much to everyone who's leaving feedback--it makes it hard to wait to post the next part. We're coming up on the end now; I hope you're all still reading.

I always wondered why Lois' father didn't suspect that Clark was Superman. It's sweet that despite his tiredness, Jonathan's thoughts are to protect his son. Do you think the mind allows for corrections, even if the evidence right in front of your face isn't consistent? I think it's possible.

Love the engagment ring scene. How like Clark to have spent so much time thinking about it. Many parents would be pretty worried about their son buying a ring for a woman he was barely dating. But Jonathan knows his son.

Looking forward to the conclusion.

This is such a wonderful, wonderful story! Thank you so much for this gift!

I enjoyed the entire part, but I think my favourite line was:
Looking forward to reading the finale.

Joy,

So nice to see things from Jonathan's POV!!! He knows Martha and Lois so well. Both of them need his quiet strenght during a time of crisis.

I also liked the sentence about Lois' life before Clark being dim. You hit the nail on the head!!!

This was another wonderful part.

I really liked the engagement ring scene too!

And I, too, wondered why Sam never suspected Clark = Superman, but Jonathan's attempts at distraction fits well.

I love the quiet conversation between the two fathers and how much is packed in there. I think both of them were worried about different things--for instance, Sam had to be a bit worried about how the Kents would take his daughter's obvious devotion to a man not obviously her fiancee. But since we were focusing on Jonathan, I tried to explain his own fears about Clark's identity. And yes, I think your mind can come up with more excuses and justifications than anyone else's--at least, I know mine does.



I'm glad you enjoyed the engagement ring scene--that one was a lot of fun to write. I knew Clark would put a lot of time into it, and it was fun tying it in with The Prankster. And I've always loved the trust ever-present between Clark and his parents so I wanted to do justice to that too.

And Lois's part was sad--but didn't we all love getting to see her finally love Clark?

Thanks again, everyone, for leaving your comments and making me work harder--and give me an excuse--to do something I love so much!
