And it’s okay, she thinks, because at the end of the day the ones that stick by you are the ones that matter and he’s been there, always, and maybe that’s enough. Maybe that’s all she can ever hope to ask for.

Ohmygod. This is all so sad and real and bittersweet and poignant and hopeful and I'm sitting here crying because oh, Lois. My heart literally hurts. I can see all of this in my head, years passing by with Lois loving him in the quiet way of hers, and Clark feeling the exact same way but never doing anything about it, the two of them getting closer and closer but never ever close enough. Gahhh.

This is just so wonderful. I can't get over how real everything is, the passage of time, how Lois feels, how she relates to everyone in her life. I love how you describe her relationship with Chloe, her dinner with Oliver, the slice-of-life way you wrote about their Sunday dinners, Lois and Mrs. Kent at Christmas. And all of her interactions with Clark - knowing how she feels and her never being able to let go even when the thinks all

Feedback like yours makes me life. No joke. And I hate to be one of those people who say they don't write for the feedback (and I'm not really) but it has been so long since I've written this character and I've never tackled her in quite this way, so my nervousness was calmed by your kind words.

I had picked the show back up after not watching it for years (and really only caught a few episodes) and was so moved by the point these two were in their relationship. They are forever toeing that line and Lois just doesn't get that he's there, and he has feelings, but he's afraid, too. Thus, this fic happened. Anyway, I'm glad you picked up that specific aspect. And I hope I'll write some more soon, I have a million and one plot-bunnies floating around in my hug for them.

Thank you for reading and leaving such fantastic feedback. It is very much appreciated.

This was absolutely lovely. How you wrote Lois was absolutely in character, both the internal and external. And Clark's innocence and near emotion blindness was so very him. Not that the rest of him wasn't spot-on, either. :]

The ending left me with a smile on my face, like Lois, and very satisfied, because I knew that you had given them the appropriate direction to travel in. Just because Clark didn't know her favorite color didn't mean he didn't know more important things about her.

Thank you so much for writing this! It was a joy to read :]

Just because Clark didn't know her favorite color didn't mean he didn't know more important things about her.

EXACTLY. Sometimes Lois just needs a swift kick to realize some things like that, though. Clark gets it, he just doesn't know how to show it, I think. I wish I could write Clark because I'd love to see a fic form his POV about his evolution of feelings for Lois. The signs are definitely there and it's such an aspect that I feel is strongly ignored by the show.

Thank you for reading and for the kind words. I'm so very glad that you enjoyed this.

I was coming to say "see you soon!" and wish you luck for your trip to Africa, and mostly to tell you that I'm gonna miss you A LOT, and then, I found this! Oh my! *hugs you tight* You just made my day (and it was a day that needed to be saved, believe me). This was heartbreaking, but so amazing and heartwarming at the same time. I didn't want it to end, I wanted to keep reading forever, seriously. Thank you for this, hun. ♥

Be safe and take a million pictures. You're my hero, I hope you know that. I can't wait for you to tell us how everything went and how many amazing things you did there. *hugs you again, just because* I'LL MISS YOU! ♥♥♥

[abvj]

AH. I'm glad you read it! I was thinking about you when I wrote it, mostly because of that chat we had a few weeks ago. The possibility for these two are endless and the show just lacks in the ability to produce it, you know? It's sad.

I will take a million pictures and come back with lots of interesting (but probably boring) stories. I'm going to miss you and your posts and I'm super sad that I'm going to miss actually having somebody on my flist to talk Greek with -- because I'm not going to be able to watch. BOO!

*hugs*

Take care, OK?

Fanfiction is so much better than the show itself, and yes, that's sad. The only Clark I like is the one I read, then I watch the show and I'm all: "Why do you have to be such an idiot and hurt Lois' feelings as if you didn't give a damn?" I still hope that will change soon, I just can't give up on this show, I don't know why, LOL.

I hope I have a job before you come back so I'll actually be here to welcome you back. I'M GONNA MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY! ♥♥♥

p.s. you're winning in batcat TDk/nolanverse challenge you talented girl.

Say what? That's amazing. *blushes*

You better come back and tell me how you liked it. I'm worried! Take care while I'm gone, I'll see (talk) when I get back!

You know, I looked for some award comms (not for self promotion, mind you, but that's how I find good fic to read) and didn't find any. Which is odd to me because isn't SV a pretty big fandom? IDK.

I loved reading this again. I've told you this already, but I'll say it again - this is absolutely beautiful. I love Lois, and it can be difficult to capture her character, but you've got her down perfectly. The dialogue is spot-on, the explorations of her relationships with Chloe and Oliver are great observations--even perfect.

“It is blue right?” he asks again, eyebrow raised.

“No,” Lois sighs. “It’s not.”

Leaning her head back against the seat, she closes her eyes and thinks that she is ready to let go.

My heart absolutely breaks for Lois there, but then you give us that last break, where Clark is finally getting at something and Lois...she smiles. It can read so simple, but after everything you put in there, along with the way you stated things implies so much more. It's clear that some of the underlying statements here are more deliberate than anything.

In the beginning there were these feelings, like there almost always is, and it was okay like that. It was nice, even, having this fantasy with this vague possibility of

Thank You for editing this thing. I'm a huge fan of your writing so I was a bit nervous about what you'd think when I sent it your way! Thank-you so much for everything, bb! Write lots and lots of fic while I'm gone so I have good things to come back to.

(and yeah, I'm pushy. what of it?)

[falsemurmur]

Oh geez don't you know I'm in denial? I haven't really mentioned it because it's a little strange, but you will be gone for some weeks, huh? I don't even know what to say about that, but that I'm going to miss you.

You're so welcome, hun, really it was an honor to look over this beautiful thing. And as for you being nervous...since I consider your writing to be absolutely amazing, I take that as a huge compliment. Consider your "push" for me to write loads, noted. ;)

I'll miss you, bb! And I embrace your so-called pushiness. :P
