Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Contractually Bound (21/21)

Well folcs, here it is. The conclusion to this epic tale (epic to write, that is). What started off as a simple love story took on a life of its own as I wrote it. I can't believe we're at the final chapter now.

<twitches uncontrollably>

AWWWW! Sniff, sniff!

You not only managed to get happy endings for Jai & Lucy, Ching & Zara, but you also managed to give Lois & Kal a daughter as well as a son. You shifted into overdrive for happily ever after! Sniff, sniff. Not used to the overdrive of happiness concentrated in one episode.

Been a wonderful ride, Vicki. Love that Kal (who thought his life was over with the forced marriage to Lois) is going to be a ruler in a society that needs his generous loving nature. Kel, Lin & Tara's generation will have it so much better because of the lessons learned from their parent's willingness to live life full of love and sharing responsibility. A country (or planet in this case) is always better when all its members are striving toward the same goal.

A wonderfully sweet ending to a marvelous tale.

Depending on when you read this all the best today.

Kal and Lois are now doting parents surrounded by an excellent support system, starting with Jor-El and ending with Marthe.

Jai has grown to be a responsible, sensible young prince. Luci is fortunate to have him rather than Nor.

Poor Ching and Zara, but at least they have one child and she will have plenty of cousins to keep her company. Speaking of which bravo to Ching and Kal for not bartering there children into a birth marriage.

Not enough was written about Ruce, didn't he ever find someone?

You could not have penned a better ending if you tried. Krypton is all the better for having a strong, loving family rule. So much better than the Uthors.

Thank you.

A wonderful ending ! A wonderful story !

And a wonderful writer ! Thank you, DC.

And this one is for Fasa. I think he is in love.....

Very sweet ending.

I'm going to have to agree with all the people before me. Very sweet. Kal has turned from rough and tumble bachelor beating up his brothers into sweet, cuddley and emotional family man. He loves his new life so much, he's converted his brother over to his new way of life and convinced him to marry his sister-in-law.

And now that the Uthor family is dissentigrated and Ruce the isn't marrying sort and all the children of the other noble children will have birth-spouses, who will be left, besides commoners and Earthlings (who happen to biologically compantible), for Kel, Tara, and Lin to marry? Or will the other nobles follow suit in hopes that by not setting up birth-spouses for their children, they may possibly luck into catching a royal prince or princess for their child once they've grown up? That's a pretty big gamble, isn't it?

Thanks so much for the kind words, Pat. I *did* pull out the stops for this chapter. I really wanted everyone to wind up on the happiest note possible. You're right, of course, in saying that Kel, Lin, and Tara will all be living in a much better world because of the way their parents are (and the fact that Jor-El never curbed any of his son's natures).

Glad you enjoyed this, and thanks for sticking with it.

Thanks so much Ken. Glad you enjoyed it. I had a ton of fun writing it. Thanks for reading.

Hi, Morgana!

Thanks so very much. I did want everyone to have a happily ever after. I think you may be right though. I probably should pen something more about Ruce. I'll be keeping that in mind as I prep this for the archive.

Can you imagine the Uthor family ruling Krypton? It really WOULD explode then!

Thank you, Sydney! So glad you enjoyed this. I really enjoyed myself in delivering it to you all to read.

Such a cute kitty graphic!!! Fasa approves!

Thanks so much, Laura!

Hi, Virginia!

Thank you very much. I tried.

Well, I'm sure they still spar once in a while for fun. But yes, he's gone from being horrified by the thought of being forced into a marriage (and feeling like his life is over) to loving his new life, his wife, and his babies. It's even rubbed off on Jai.



(Even if canon Krypton didn't allow the girls to carry the father's last name, I think I've effectively broken every canon rule in this fic. )

Good point. But their *real* honeymoon stage started the day Lois stopped verbally castrating Kal.

Yay! Something to look forward to in the morning! And now, this writer is off to bed!

I'm back - Sorry for the delay in the FDK - My hubby actually wanted me to watch TV with him. <<cough, cough>> Kal, you are so

Sigh. I remember those days, when the kids fell asleep before the book was read. Nowadays, it's more likely that mommy and daddy are asleep before the books finished.

Wow! 6 weeks old and already has a room of her own? My children didn't move out of our bedroom for at least 6 months, but then again, I was the one who got up in the middle of the night when they screamed. We were thrilled with the babies moved into their own room.

What?! After 6 weeks he was able to be slow? Oh, that's right, he drank lots of wine. Never mind.

Awwwwwwwwwwww.

Now, you've done it, Kal. You've called your wife a thing. It will be like the honeymoon all over again. Better take your pillow and blanket and head for the couch right now buster.

Now, if he could wake up his 'home' and have a repeat performance of the 6 week ritual, he'd also be a happy camper.

Thanks for giving Kal and Lois a happy, as opposed to bloody, ending.

Aw! What a lovey ending! Great job. I'm satisfied with the scattering of molecules that Nor received lol.

Now my only question is: what will you come up with next!? Lol

<laughes>

The Feedback Strikes Back...Uh-oh! Is there a Death Star coming?





Very true. <grin>

YAY!

<points to the gym, where Lois can watch her man get all hot and sweaty>

Precisely. Evil author is evil.

Verrrrrry long.

She could ask Catira?



You're very welcome. Thanks for coming on this trip with me!

Thank you, Mrs. Luthor! I too, was satisfied with killing Lux and sons.

What next? Hmmm. Well, I have a few things in the works.

1) A Martha introspective piece
2) A Clark introspective piece (finished, needs beta-ing)
3) A "what if" story, centering on if Clark wasn't found by the Kents
4) A comedy piece centering on the characters discovering our world's fanfiction

All are various stages of the writing process. Hoping to get some of them done though. Come on, Muse!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I'm glad Jai and Luci got together in the end- it made a perfect way to end the story, almost full circle, wedding to wedding. Also, I like that Kal, despite his own success with arranged marriage, is maintaining his stance against that for his own children. Oh, and what cute kids! (And three cheers for Zara and Ching finally being able to have a child of their own despite the difficulties.)

Whew. Lots going on in this story- this chapter even- and am sad to see it come to a close. But I'm banking on some of your other ones cropping up on here soon. Can't wait to see what madness you have in store for us next.

(PS: sorry it took so long for me to get to this, I was house sitting for my uncle who for some reason has yet to grant me their wi-fi password...)

Thank so much, Mouse!

Me neither.

Thank you. Um...maybe you can write more fics? Pleeeeeease?

Exactly what I was going for.

I never intended to leave Zara and Ching unhappy. It was my plan from the start to give *everyone* a happy ending...except for the people I killed off.

Thanks. I'm also sad to see this one done. And relieved, at the same time. More madness to come, I just can't promise when.

No worries! Get that password, girlie!

Well I just finished reading this story over the past few days and wanted to say it was a fun ride. Very different, was kind of hard to not read some of the names as their counterparts .

That tends to happen to daddy's with little girls. My daughter is sitting in my lap right now as I type this (she'll be 3 in August).

One more comment, wouldn't it be weird for your brother to marry your sister in law? Well I guess if it worked for Twins .
