I am overcome with many of the feelings on the soon-coming end of my show, (Smallville). So to help myself (and maybe some of you) through this, I propose a.........

My heart. It hurts. :(

I really love SV for going there before the end of the series, giving us a glimpse into this aspect of their marriage, and the way you framed the drabble around Death of Supes with Dominion in this drabble was perfect.

And I really appreciate Dominion for what it did, even though I felt like it was a storyline they could have fleshed out a bit more, but you know the whole season, had writers have been giving Lois and Clark lines going on and on about the sacrifices and hardships and how sharing the life of a hero is not easy blah blah but I didn't feel it ya know?

It wasn't until Lois' voice was breaking in that last scene, and she wishes he had more faith in her, admitting to not wanting to go through not knowing whether or not she'll see him again that it really, really struck me what it meant for her to be committing to this relationship with this man she loves with all her heart but knowing all those nights that are in her future that she'll be spending alone in her bed, not sleeping and worrying, not knowing if he's safe and what he's going through, if someone was hurting him...this drabble just hit it so close to home.

Erica just killed me, what a powerful scene. Her eyes shiny and wrapped up in Clark's shirt, unpacking and keeping busy. I had this painful what if moment, if Clark hadn't made it back for a few more days of Lois in her wedding dress, right up till the minute they were supposed to be walking down the aisle, just WAITING and not willing to give up.

Remember her words to Clark in Siren? "I just can't be left behind one more time" ? And he holds her in his arms while she breaks down, and here she is, 3 years later, ready to marry him and trying so valiantly to be strong for him... knowing that she will be left behind time and time again, but she's so damn strong and loves him with such overwhelming force that there is just no alternative.

Yeah I'll admit it, I shed a few tears, and damn it your drabble did not help!

*phew* ok I feel a bit better now. I love you.

Yay, that's exactly the response I wanted - because I keep thinking about this a lot for some morbid reason - I'm pretty morbid in general though. Yeah, Dominion was like many episodes this season - it just didn't go there enough so I wanted this drabble to set up the scenario that Lois and Clark will face time and time again and that it will maybe become something she'll be able to deal with easier - because she's Lois fucking Lane, but the pain of it will still be as sharp and horrible for her. I can't even handle how much I love this character. So thank you, I'm glad you liked this.

And I think it's as much Lois being strong enough to not give up on Clark and keep believing he'll come back as it is her holding onto that belief because if she doesn't, it will literally break her in two. And I like that tension, also it breaks my heart when I think on it.

I love her. I love Lois.

Thank you, bb. Sorry for this nonsensical response, she just gives me many of the feelings.

I LOVE YOU :)))))))))) :'(
