I was surprised how emotionally engaged I was watching this.
I watched Quest II immediately after reading Palimpset by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
paian. An AU after Quest I, this is a darker vision of what Quest II could have been and even if they diverged in paths somehow the emotional intensity, in a way, paralleled the characters in Quest II.
Smallville - Hydro
I really liked this episode, one of the enjoyable episodes of this season.
Lois recs:
One of the hardest things to find is a good smallville Lois story with equally great characterizations, here are the few I've managed to find.
First Time, Upon Returning to Metropolis byhuzzlewhat- Futurefic, Lois and Clark return to Metropolis. Great Lois voice and plausible story how Lois and Clark meet and fall in love with a killer last line.
The first time Superman met Lois Lane, it was in midair, as she was falling from a roof at the time. When he put her down on solid ground, her smile was dazed but open.
She’d only been moments from a very messy death, but he wouldn’t have been able to tell if he hadn’t been the one to catch her. “I’m guessing that you’re not exactly from around here.”
Growing up is seeing bysupacat - Written before Crusade. Futurefic, Chloe, Lana Lois. The three women in Clark's life and Clark.
There's some kind of fracas at the Daily Planet. Lois turns up with a sticking plaster on her forehead, and Clark's eyes go dark with concern. He's rising from his seat.
"Lois, what happened?" he says, at the same time that Lois says, "Sorry I'm late."
Lana would have said, "It's nothing. I'm just a little shaken."
Chloe, shaken, would have said, "You should see the other guy."
Lois says, "It's nothing. What's good to eat?"
Sofa, 3 am bysupacat- set after Gone. Clark and Lois at 3 am. Excellent Lois voice and characterization at the early stages of their friendship and Clark's perpetually annoyed at Lois.
Clark is sure that surrendering his room to Lana would feel different: sweet and noble and right, and she'd say, "You don't have to do that for me, Clark," and he'd get to say, "No, I want to," and get lost in her eyes. He can't imagine Lois saying, "You don't have to do that for me, Clark." He can't imagine gazing into her eyes . . . well, he can, but not without her saying, "What are you looking at?" in the same tone Pete would have said it, in the same tone Chloe used to say, "Freakazoid," in sixth grade. It's annoying. Confusing. Annoying. Clark attempts to wrest his blanket out from under Lois's legs, and with it control of the conversation. He resorts to powers when it doesn't come on the first tug.
Dealing with the Unexpected byseperis. Clark/Lex, Lois. Futurefic, mpreg. Clark realizes he's pregnant with Lex's child. It shouldn't work but it does. ROTFL kind of hilarious. Not only is it funny but seperis has an excellent, fabulously funny Lois voice.
If you get a girl knocked up, you marry her. And if you get knocked up, well--you tell the father.
Lois, following him into LexCorp headquarters, is staring holes in the back of his head. "I'll marry you," she finally says, sounding desperate, and Clark would be touched if she hadn't walked out on him once saying she'd rather lie down with cows from his farm, but with a lot more cursing and added bonus of an engagement ring thrown at his head. "You can be a stay at home dad. I'm very well-paid."

"I need a crew at Clark Kent's apartment," Lex says shortly. "Move everything to the penthouse. Now."
"Are you *kidding*?" Lois screeches, and Clark closes his eyes and gives up. "You think I'm going to let him be trapped into one of your schemes for world domination while he's knocked up and *helpless*?"
Oh dear God. Clark squeezes his eyes shut and concentrates on his stomach. This would be a perfect time for a good fit of nausea. At least then they'd *shut up*. "Guys," he says more firmly, with no anticipation of anyone hearing a word he says.
"What the hell are you going to do about it?" Lex taunts, and oh, that's so stupid, so incredibly, incredibly stupid. It's like he never met Lois.
"I'm moving in too."
