Review Comments:
h-g-j-l-e-r-k - Yeah, I think that's what makes it the most sad. What if...
GDani - Haha, I haven't thought too much about life after this series (they're going to find me and hurt me if i ever stop, haha), but I'm sure I'll be around.
NonOmnisMoriar - Yeah, I didn't think it would be a favorite, haha, but I couldn't bring myself to write a nice chapter about Clark Luthor. For everyone that likes him for his bad ass ways, they're just going to have to enjoy Red-K Clark, I had to write him like the monster he is. Humor and Romance is my preference as well, and I think you'll enjoy this one because it's full of it, haha.
Deep down, it's what is best for Lex. If Clark is with Lois, then Lana is up for grabs and that's what he really wants. Isn't the Bowtie nickname priceless? haha, it just fits poor Jimmy so well and the Lanes' love giving their spouses nicknames it seems, haha. All the credit of the Man of Mush line goes to LoisNClark4Ever for the idea, haha. I'm glad that you liked the costumes bit, haha, I too agree that Stiletto (and of course that horribly done accent, haha) was very sexy.
Nothing about Lois and Clark is rational, haha, but I'll be damned if there isn't passion! haha.
katlynne - I'm sorry! haha. I hope this one cheers you up, I wrote it to cheer us all up! haha.
LoisNClark4Ever - Awww, I'm so glad that you liked it! I knew that I wanted to kind of show how he fell into being a monster, and it seemed natural that losing Lois might send him down that road. I know that it's a big thing to show that Lois and Clark are together in every universe and what not, and while I tend to shy away from that idea, it seemed like a good backstory for why he took the turns he took.
It was also really important to me that if he was going to do something, he was going to do something unforgivable that would send her away and cause her to hate him like she hated him in 'Luthor'. So I'm really glad that you liked it! haha. You'll get bad ass Clark when he finds some Red-K, i promise, haha.
sunset - The whole thing was painful to write! haha. I had to keep calling him 'Luthor' as I wrote 'Clark' because it was killing me to write him that way, I'm just too attached to good Clark, haha. I don't know if Lois will ever forgive him and I don't know if he will ever forgive himself, but after meeting our Clark, I think that Lois might be ready to give him a second chance, if only to see if she can find that man she met on the rooftop that day.
I'm still going to write a 'Clark Luthor' chapter, hence why I switched up the names at the last minute from 'Clark Luthor' to 'Ultraman'. I'm kind of planning on it being quite a bit lighter, possibly with interactions with Lionel and Lex, that show that Clark Luthor was once, at the very least, the kind of person that Lois would want in her life. But he will still be far from the Clark we know and love, just has to be...
alexindigo - Thanks! I'm really glad that you liked it. Like I've been saying, it was a tough one to write because I just never see Clark that way. I wanted his fall to be like any great tragic villain's fall: a tremendous mistake that happened despite good intentions.
It doesn't really get much more tragic than this. He was raised to be a Luthor, and that's what you get. Someone that goes too far to get what they want and that breeds a habit of collateral damage behind them. In this case, it was Bruce's life and Clark's relationship with Lois. It's something that he will feel guilty over for the rest of his life, and everyday without Lois Lane in his life will be a reminder of how far he has fallen.
cathy03 - You're back! You have been missed! haha.
There is a Mera chapter left to be written, you never know! haha. I didn't know about their mythos either, so I choose to write it a bit ahead in the future when if nothing else, they might be young adults. I tried to avoid any sort of mention of age for that reason. Just like with AC's possible reappearance, there is another chapter that will lead to a reappearance of Hal: 'Green Lantern' will be coming soon.
That line about the secret was a bit confusing for some folks, but yes, it does refer to the Superman Secret. My Lois and Clark are a little less revealing about their secret than the Smallville Lois and Clark, haha, no one that doesn't already know (with the exception of new members of the Justice League like Bruce, Diana, and Hal) won't know here. For the most part anyways. Just seems a little more sensible that way.
To be totally honest, I'm not the biggest fan of the Chloe/Oliver thing. I love Chloe and all, but I have a feeling she's not going to be around much longer on the show. She is only billed for a couple more episodes, and after the talk she had with Oliver at the end of 'Collateral', can she leave again and it be ok? I'm thinking that Season 10 is going to have more than it's usual share of character deaths...
But on the story's note, you've been around long enough to know that it wasn't my intention to have them end up together. I just kind of got swept up in the winds of fandom, haha, but since it's really a background story anyways, it doesn't deter too many plans.
You hit the nail on the head with Lex and Lana (and of course Lex's perspective of Lois and Clark). Even during Season 1, I kind of caught vibes between Lex and Lana. I always assumed it would be the breaking point between Lex and Clark, and sure enough, it was. I have a few chapters left in the bag where we see the guy in their younger days, and Lex will have some more to say and think on Clois, haha.
I too was disappointed in Chloe's stance on Clana during Season 8. I thought she would step up and say something, and there is a small part of me that has not forgiven her for that. As for Henry Cavill, he certainly looks the part of Superman, but can he pull off Clark Kent? That's my big concern. No, Tom Welling doesn't look the part of Clark Kent either, but supposedly we're about to see him transform into Clark Kent, so I'm reserving judgement until then, haha.
We will see more Jealous Clark, and Perry White has a chapter called 'Chief' coming up, haha. I kind of forgot to add in that bit about Connor being half Lex as well, but there will be a chapter where that comes up called 'Superboy'. I'm pretty sure that Lois and Clark can find anything to argue about, haha.
You've seriously got to stop hacking my computer and reading my notes, haha. There will be a post-funeral scene between Lois and Clark, haha.
I think everyone fell in love with Lucy the moment she called Lana a bitch, haha, if you'll pardon my language, haha. And yeah, the General had to throw poor Clark a bone. I like to think that the General softened up on Clark once he gave him a granddaughter, haha. I could see that whole scenario going down between the girls on the shopping trip, with Jo'an pouting and then seeing some camo pants and getting excited, haha.
Jo'an and Martha wil get their time together, I promise, haha. I have 'Grandma' and 'Grandpa' chapters ready for Martha and the General respectively! haha. I think this was my longest reply ever to a series of reviews! haha, it's almost as long as the story itself! Enjoy!
A,sky - Aww, haha, I'm glad that you liked it! I admit, the interactions between Clois prior to him coming back did not make me happy, haha, but it was very understandable. That scene at the hospital was beyond perfect, and of course, I did the happy dance when Lionel returned, haha.
AmberWaves - Thanks!

Pairing: Clois
Disclaimer: If I owned Smallville or it's characters, I'd be saving this for the spring and you would be watching it on TV. I also don't own Whitesnake, 'Here I Go Again', or the ideas presented in the 'Here I Go Again' music video.
Summary: A series of 'Kill me or Kiss Me?' moments.
Chapter: #56, Anniversary
Author's Note: I know that I said it would be J'onn J'onzz or Wonder Woman next, but after the Ultraman chapter, I thought everyone deserved a happy and lovey-dovey Clois chapter, haha. Hope you guys like it!
"Oh...Smallville."
She shivered at the wet sensation on her neck. 'This man is going to drive me wild...'
Lois kept her eyes closed, she was coming out of the most amazing dream.
Clark had somehow worked his usually tame and short hair into long, frizzy blonde hair. Wearing a pain of tight leather pants and a tank top that showed off every ripple of muscle, he took her breath away with his short sleeve leather jacket. She was dancing on the hood of an old Jaguar. He had a tall microphone stand and was belting out her favorite song. Lois was melting at the mere sight.
"And I'm going to hold on...for the rest of my days! Cause I know what it means...to walk along the lonely street of dreams!"
She danced along passionately. Hip swaying, arms flailing. When Clark looked back with a smile, she gave him a fierce look and a small roar.
Hairs tickled her neck and he muzzled deeper into her neck. Lois purred with satisfaction, she imagined Clark's long, frizzy hair clashing against her dark brunette locks. "Smallville, you better not be trying to seduce your way out of making me breakfast."
Air blew against her shoulder and she assumed that he was laughing, but she was still caught up in the memory of her dream.
"Here I go...again on my own! Going down the only road I've ever known! Like a drifter...I was born to walk alone!"
Lois admired his butt in those skin-tight pants, the way he shook it back and worth, 'Mmmmmm, I'm going to rock that rockstar's world when as soon as I get the chance, preferably in the back seat of this car as soon as he is done with this song.'
"And I've made up my mind...I ain't wasting no more-"
"Shelby! Get off the bed!"
Lois' eyes shot open. In the doorway, she saw Clark standing with a tray. He appeared to be planning on breakfast in bed. She slowly turned her head to see Shelby laying next to her, she could swear that the mutt was smiling at her. "Get the hell out of the bed!"
He popped off the bed and made his way to his own little bed under the window. 'I hate how he smiles like that...' she thought with a fury.
She turned back to see Clark struggling to hold up the tray. An eyebrow quirked, she tried to find the source of his struggles. That's when she noticed he was turning red from trying not to laugh. "Let that out, and you're not getting special anniversary..." she eyed Shelby, who was watching intently, "...stuff."
"No Stiletto?"
"No Stiletto."
Clark swallowed and composed himself, bringing Lois the tray and giving her a peck on the lips. "That's my boy."
He smiled warmly, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching her devour her bacon. "You might want to chew, Lois."
She flashed him a glare. "'atch it, Small-ill," she mumbled with a mouthful of eggs.
He pressed a kiss to her forehead, "Finish eating, I have to go take care of something."
Lois eyed him, 'What does he have up his sleeve this time?' She choose not to ask though, simply giving him a nod. Clark gave her another quick kiss on the forehead and sped out of the room. Lois continued eating her eggs and let out a moan, 'I'm gunna thank his momma for his cooking skills...'
Waddling back up the driveway after dinner later that night, Lois let out a content moan.
"Italian food in Italy. I'm so glad I married a superhero that can fly."
Clark chuckled, wrapping his arms around her from behind. "It wasn't because of my charming personality?"
"Nope."
"Not because of my dashing looks?"
Lois closed her eyes and shook her head, a small smirk forming. "Nope."
He gave her a tantalizing kiss on her neck. Luckily Clark was holding her, Lois' knees felt a little weak. "What about my prestigious career?"
Snort.
Clark spun her around, giving her an intense gaze but keeping his small smile. "I think I know why..."
Lois smirked and quirked an eyebrow, "Do you now?"
"I think I have an idea," he smiled.
She made to head towards the house, but he grabbed her hand. She looked back and looked at him curiously, he made a slight nod towards the barn. A smile erupted onto her face, 'So this is his big surprise, huh?' she thought as they walked hand-in-hand towards their destination.
As she stepped into the barn, the first thing she noticed was the cracking under her feet. The next thing she knew, the lights flashed on and the old disco ball was shining. 'Just like the night he first told me that he loved me...' she thought, and then she noticed that the cracking sound was coming from all the rose petals covering the barn floor. 'Just like the night he asked me to marry him,' she thought, heart nearly beating out of her chest.
She could barely hear the song playing over her other heart beat. She looked around for Clark, he had disappeared, though she suspected he sped away to turn on the lights and the music. Before she knew it, Clark wrapped his arms around her from behind, her hands coming to rest on his arms.
"I was thinking it was because of my old fashion romantic sensibilities..." he whispered into her ear.
Lois was still speechless, but found her voice after a few moments. "I was going to stay Buns of Steel but...oh boy."
To call the grin on Clark Kent's face "wide", would be a lot like saying that Lois Lane's knees were "weak". Understatements all around. Clark spun her around gently, causing her to giggle as her heels tacked across the floor, but she was silenced by his intense gaze.
"Everything ok, Smallville?"
He flashed her his famous Kent smile and nodded, taking her into his arms and swaying with the music.
"Lois, you've always been there to push me to greater heights. And I don't think I would be the man I am today without you," he said. Lois' blush was all the more noticeable in the glimmering light of the disco ball. "I might be Superman, and I might be a hero, but you have always been my hero Lois. You've always been the first one to run head first into a situation that needed a hero. You've always been my Superwoman."
"Oh..." she gasped. Her bottom lip quivering, she had never wanted to devour him so badly.
"Today is our wedding anniversary. And I love you even more now than I did then, if that's even possible," he laughed. She looked away nervously but grinned like a fool. "But you want to know something? As special as our wedding day was, you make every day just as special because every day with you is the best day of my life. Every day, I fall more in love with you than the day before."
She almost fell down. Luckily, Clark was there to keep her steady.
"Smallville...somedays, I really want to kill you."
Clark smiled, "I hate to steal your line...but that's hardly a news flash. How's tonight looking?"
She bit her lip and sized him up with a smile, "Tonight? Tonight...is one of those days where you're gunna get sooooooo lucky."
Author's Note: Well, did that make up for it? haha. I wanted to make something just oh so fluffy, fun, and sappy to get the roughness that was 'Ultraman' off of our minds. I kind of felt like I needed to write something that showed he was once, at the very least, a decent man while showing how he could become the kind of man he became and how he could sleep with his step-sister and basically look at women as disposable objects. I'm glad you guys still liked it.
As for the Anniversary, I hope it fits the bill as fluffy, fun, and sappy? haha. I kind of feel like it was a cop out to do the L-Word/Proposal combo, but at the same time, I felt like it might have brought us all back to two of our favorite moments in Clois history.
Anways, tell me what you though! Shoot me a review!
Next Up: Wonder Woman or J'onn J'onzz, leaning towards J'onn though.
