OF COURSE I GET MY SEASONS MIXED UP LMFAO. Seasons 5-6 is where I think Clois started to tease me with the potential of finally getting together back when it was airing and I was so frustrated !!! that they weren't !!! kissing!!!! MAKE THEM KISS EARLIER, PLEASE.
I hope you write it! Lois and Clark fake dating would be catastrophic and amazing all at once.
I completely get you re: not wanting to fluff it down. Maybe consider tackling just one issue that interests you and how far you're willing to go into it. You're totally allowed to explore a dark concept to the limit that works best for you. If you wanted to explore Clark's struggle to trust his friend, you don't have to show it to the extreme level where Clark is having a panic attack if you don't want to. If your comfort is showing it by having Clark struggle with being this superpowered beefcake who knows he should trust his friend but can't and Clark avoiding Good!Oliver or requesting Arthur join them on a little mission, then that's still a great way of delving into the ramifications and exploring darkness. Dark may just be delving into Clark's psyche and getting to explore him feeling betrayed without having the CW filter on it.
Go as deeply as you want to go. I think as long as you don't say "Yeah, Clark's totally fine and his PTSD is over now that they're holding hands", you're all good. 😉
