I felt the need to leave a bit more of a review other than YOU'RE FAB, to state exactly why I feel this chapter's fab, other than the fact that it's written by you. ;D
I don't think I've read in any other fanfic this concept of Lois being Apollo to Superman's Achilles--and while on the surface it does seem to be a monumental betrayal, I can't help but think that it falls in the same vein of Everything happens for a reason. Life demands a balance; all things must be kept in check, and all that stuff. Kryptonite is vile, vile shit, but it IS Superman's physical foil. I can't really explain properly how I feel that...while Lois was wrong to shout it from the rooftops (and her greater betrayal was simply taking advantage of his confidence in her, I think), it's kind of something that HAD to be put out there somehow, eventually. As he said. If not her, someone else was gonna spill the beans. I can understand both her guilt and his forgiveness (beside the fact that his very nature tends toward forgiveness far more than the average person).
Blah, I'm incoherent. I just thought it was infinitely compelling that you put it this way. It's very fitting for this story.
And now I'm curious about how the hell he got exposed to the kryptonite in such a manner that other people were injured. Did it literally fall out of the sky on top of them? o_O (Sorry, I have Nook and Cranny Syndrome.)
