*gasp* A Superman Returns fanfic?! This made me indescribably happy seeing it on my feed this morning. I know I'm in the minority for this opinion, but I LOVE that movie so much, and rewatch it more than any other live-action Superman movie.

This fic is so perfect. Love every line of it. I love the exploration of how Lois felt about losing both Superman and Clark, and then having to adjust to having them both back in her life. Love the little mentions of Jason and his developing relationship with his dad — and the fact that he knew the secret the whole time. Loved that line about adults overthinking too much. I like how simple the reveal ends up being, with it just sort of coming out accidentally. That final conversation was perfect, too. The hurt and worry from either side, and the acknowledgement (finally!) of their feelings for each other.

So beautiful. Thank you for writing and sharing this!! 😊

Oh yay! I am so glad you liked it. I've written fics for other versions of Clois (mostly Smallville) but this was my first attempt at their Superman Returns version. I have to admit my own feelings were mixed at the time but I do wish they would've gotten a chance to do a follow up. In retrospect, Brandon Routh was underrated.

I know the movie showed Lois struggling with Superman's return (pun not intended lol) but I figured even after the movie, it would take time for her to get readjusted, and I did want to give some love to her relationship with Clark! That must've been at least a little weird for him to disappear like that. And I had to give a nod to Jason seemingly knowing so I'm happy it worked for you. Kids totally see things differently.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and leave such a nice comment! I really appreciate it. ♥ :D
