It is legit my dream fic. I love fake dating as a trope so much and it would be really fun with them, especially at a time when the feelings weren't quite realized/there yet. I do enjoy the scenes they had in s5 (the Oracle 'piggybank' conversation is near and dear to my heart). The Red K episode was in a different season though (6) but also you're right about it being great! Clark and Lois were really fun, and I just love how soft red k Clark is when he's around Lois. :D
That's good that you were able to figure out what was stopping you and be willing to push your boundaries. It is beneficial to try new things- I know that in my head at least.
The thing is I'm not really a fan of dark fic in general. I don't read it and I have never really felt the inclination to write it before. Sometimes, I get the idea and I worry I will fluff down serious issues too much, because I can't bring myself to go to extremes.
it might feel like you're trying to walk on ice in socks I do like the way you worded this! And that's really solid advice. I will definitely keep that in mind and maybe give this or something I wouldn't a try. Like you said, at least it is a chance for it to be out of my system instead of just wondering "what if". Thank you!
