    Summary

    She was his wife, sitting on his lap in their kitchen after making him dinner. The image was so perfectly domestic, so traditionally wifely, that it triggered something primal in him. This was what men were supposed to have, what his father had, what every man in Smallville expected as his due. A pretty woman waiting at home, devoted to his comfort, willing to arrange herself for his pleasure.

    He'd never expected that from Lois. Had never asked for it, never even fantasized about it because it seemed so contrary to who she was. But here she was, offering it freely, and he felt drunk with the gift of it.

    Clark and Lois explore the dichotomy of loving each other as equals, whilst also indulging in the fantasy of traditional gender roles. Set 1940s-50s. Inspired by both 9x13 Persuasion, and 6x20 Noir.

    Summary

    “Plutt should have had some money with him. A non-insignificant amount. Kept it in a lockbox, maybe?”

    “If he did I never saw it,” Rey said, reestablishing her hold on the gun. Her palms had grown clammy and slick with anxiety. “Now, get out of my damn house. I’ll shoot the both of you. Don’t think I won’t.”

    “I don’t doubt it,” the night-cloaked stranger chuckled darkly. “But, sweetheart, that there is a double-barrel shotgun. You shot poor Mr. Plutt there just a moment ago, so, at most, you’ve got one shot left. Personally, I doubt you’ve got that. What do you think?”

    ---
    Rey's never been particularly lucky. Her husband inviting a group of strangers into their home is just another star to add to her unlucky sky. She suspects them to be thieves and murderers and when they prove her correct she has little choice but to run or hide. Will the arrival of a different group of outlaws - the Ren Gang - to her little homestead prove to be her damnation or salvation? Could it be both?

    Summary

    At first, Lois is unconvinced. She’s been since the moment she flipped through his file. His résumé is riddled with vague location markers— Jarangpur, Nepal, Patagonia—and small-league writing credits. His work isn’t bad, per se— it’s just not memorable. Then, we have to talk about that web search. Seriously. The man might as well live under a rock for all she knows. She had expected, at the very least, a LinkedIn profile, but what she got instead was: “Clark Kent wins tractor pull at Smallville County Fair” — courtesy of the Smallville Gazette, population 47,000 (give or take a few cows), and whose website hasn’t been updated since 2015. As unredeemable proof was a photo of a grinning young man in flannel and what looks like an extremely offended chicken. No, she's not making that stuff up.

    This is my take on Lois & Clark, which are, in my opinion, one of the greatest couples in fiction. It is mostly an office romance with lots of fluff and a bit of hurt/comfort and family drama. In other words, when Superman meets "Friends" and "the Office". Loosely inspired from the James Gunn movie.
