Drabble 1 | Movie Night Redux

Lois opened the door to her apartment, breathing a sigh of relief that the long week was finally over. Not that she had much to show for it. Slow news week. If she had any more weeks like this one she could forget about making her way out of the basement.

Drabble 4 | Dinner at the Farm

Clark walked into his well lit kitchen and came to a screeching halt at the gorgeous view of his girlfriend leaning over to study the contents of his open refrigerator. That, of course, wasn’t the sight that made him pause. No, he stopped to admire the curve of her butt in her skin tight jeans and the one inch of sun-tanned skin peeking out between said jeans and her t-shirt.

Drabble 5 | After the Kiss

Lois broke away from Clark, registering that they were still at the Planet. She stepped back and looked around, realizing that their co-workers were standing in a circle, some were clapping and grinning; one person let out a whoop. She flushed.

“Uh…” Lois looked up at Clark helplessly.

Drabble 10 | Morning After

Lois typed feverishly on her computer, glancing up every now and then to read the text on the screen. As usual, there were squiggly red lines indicating all the typos and spelling errors in her article. She noticed there seemed to be more today than typical. She sighed, blaming her lack of focus on the events the previous evening. Or, rather, lack of events.

Drabble 12 | Where I Stood

I don't know who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
Because she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

Clark came down the stairs, slipping his watch on his wrist. He had about one hour to get dinner ready. Usually, it would only take him a few minutes to do the prep work, but he wanted tonight to be special. So, it was going to be her favorite meal – roast beef, mashed potatoes, and Martha’s famous gravy. He just hoped he could manage to make it even remotely close to how his mother made it. He chuckled when he realized that even his worst cooking was better than Lois’s best attempts, so she wouldn’t really be in a position to complain. While he was formulating this argument in his head, the doorbell rang, bringing thoughts of Lois to a halt.

“Okay, now I want you to sauté the onions lightly,” the instructor announced from the front of the room. “Remember, just a dab of olive oil and half the onions from what we chopped up before.”

Lois grimaced, looking down at the pile of onions on her chopping board. They were cut into haphazard shapes… a few large chunks were still left that she hadn’t gotten around to actually cutting up. She shrugged and grabbed a few handfuls of them, anyway, and tossed them into the frying pan.

Drabble 19 | Thanksgiving

Exposition: Clark is hosting Thanksgiving at the farm. The whole JL is invited. At this point, all Lois knows is that Chloe is the head of some subsidiary of Queen Industries and all these people work for that subsidiary. (That’s my fanwank of what Lois thinks Chloe does for a living.)

___________________

“Oh, c’mon! You’re killing me, Johnson!” Lois shouted out, waving her hand up in the air at the screen.

Ollie shot her a look of pure smugness. He stretched back, his hands going behind his head, as he propped his legs on the table in front of him. “Looks like you better get ready, Lane. There is no way they’re making a comeback from this.”

Lois took a sip of her coffee and sighed contentedly. It was a fresh pot. Golden. She turned to head towards her desk and stopped in her tracks. In the amount of time it had taken her to get her evening caffeine fix, someone had camped out at her desk. A dark-haired man sat on her chair, his legs propped up on her desk.

“I don’t really think this is a good idea, Lois.” Clark fiddled with his tie uncomfortably and paused in front of the doors of the restaurant. He turned to look down at her. “This is really weird.”

“Why is it weird?” Lois frowned in confusion. She linked her arm through his and tugged him into the restaurant.

Lois rifled through the files as quickly as she could, muttering to herself as she went past each one. “Mason, Morgan, Munker… who the hell has a name like Munker?” After several seconds, she glanced over at Clark, who was standing near the desk. “Smallville, the idea is to actually go through the desk. Not just stare at it.”

Clark, who’d been x-raying through everything in and on the desk, looked over at her with a grin. “Not everyone has to be as messy and noisy as you, Lois. I already checked the desk – nothing here.”

Drabble 41 | You Drive Me Crazy

A/N: This one is completely AU at this point. It was written after "Disciple" and well before "Conspiracy"... it was a way to imagine what role Amanda Waller would play on the show. In canon, at that point, Lois wasn't yet comfortable with admitting that she was dating Clark and they hadn't said "I love you to each other" (at the time, I had no clue that it was be season 10 before they'd say it).

________

I stood in line for my coffee, scanning the article that had made the front page of the DP instead of the one I’d submitted to Brady. City Hall strike – same old, same old. Why Brady kept going for the safe stuff hacks like Rob and Katie submitted to him was beyond me. The DP totally needed a new editor in chief to come in and shake things up.

My inner musings (and, let’s face it, annoyance) were interrupted by a woman letting out a shriek of excitement near the front of the coffee shop. I shifted to get a better look at what the commotion was about and heard her yell out, “YES, oh my God, YES!!”

Drabble 43 | Mind-Whammy

A/N: Another completely AU drabble. I wrote this one before "Warrior" came out. It was based on the spoilers we had at the time... it was how I hoped Zatanna would be used. (I was trying to explain why Zee would be kissing Clark.) Needless to say, this is not how it played out AT ALL.
____________

“OK, Ollie, got it,” Lois answered, with a sigh, into her phone. “Can I just say you picked a really bad weekend to be in Star City?”

She smiled at his response and then hung up. Glancing around at the crowded arena, she glanced down at the paper in her hand again and frowned. Room 1301B. Someone had seen Clark and Zatanna mention the room number, but she hadn’t been able to track it down.

A/N: I wrote a much expanded version of this drabble called "Remember Me". I would recommend reading "Remember Me" first and then reading this one for fun. Or completely skipping it.

----------

Lois opened her eyes slowly, feeling the harsh lights prick against them as she first cracked one open, then the other. She immediately closed them again and let out a soft groan, lifting her hand to her pounding skull. She sat up a bit, licking her dry lips and swallowing back another moan as pain shot through her head at the slightest movement.

Drabble 47 | I'm Fine

Lois filled the tub with water, making sure the handle was set to ‘hot’ all the way. No tepid, lukewarm water for her. She had very specific rules about her bath and starting out with almost painfully hot water was part of the equation. Taking out her favorite bubble bath, she poured it in liberally. Once the bubbles had started to froth, she dipped her toe in, judging that the temperature was absolutely perfect. So she slid the robe off of her shoulders, letting it pool at her feet. With a deep, contented sigh, she slipped into the perfect, soapy water and then closed her eyes, lying back against the bath pillow.

Drabble 48 | Couples Game Night

Lois navigated the room, shooting a fake smile at everyone who gave her a greeting as she passed them. Holding up her wine glass to keep from bumping people and spilling it over, she made her way over to couch where she spied her boyfriend and, with a sigh, settled down next to him.

After taking a fortifying sip, Lois turned to Clark and hissed under her breath, “I’m going to kill you, Smallville.”

Drabble 52 | Reversal

A/N: I wrote this one after "Warrior" aired... I needed some way to release my ire and anger at the SV writers. I hate that they constantly put Lois Lane in a situation where she somehow had to feel LESSER next to Clark Kent. He spent years pining after Lana and being jealous of everyone that ever looked at Lana (while Lana told him off, repeatedly) but when it came to Lois? It was always Lois who got the shaft and this episode was the height of it. So, I thought to myself, "What if the situation were reversed? What if CLARK had to deal with someone chasing Lois for a change, as opposed to Lois having to deal with it?"  A lot of folks on Divine Intervention didn't like this drabble.... But I enjoyed writing it! :)

_______________

“Hey, Lane!”

At sound of her name being called across the bullpen, Lois turned around and saw Oliver coming towards her. Her lips curved up in a smile as she raised a hand in greeting. Quickly, she finished her conversation with the morgue assistant on the phone and then put the hand-set down with a click. Just as she was doing so, Oliver came to a stop right in front of her.

Clark heard the alarm clock blaring in the background and opened his eyes. He watched, with some amusement, as Lois reached over to shut it off without bothering to open her eyes even a crack. Then she promptly rolled over and pulled the blankets up over her head, clearly trying to block out the morning light filtering through the shades.

A/N: This is a follow up drabble to the one a couple of drabbles ago... here's what happens at the Easter dinner.... (totally not in canon anymore, since the General shows up for Thanksgiving dinner in "Ambush" and Mrs. Kent is nowhere to be found).

-------
“I’m sure it’s going to be fine, Lois,” Clark said, in an amused, but very patient tone. His hands came up to touch her shoulders, his fingers kneading the tension out of her muscles. His voice was low and husky as he whispered in her ear, “Just relax.”

Lois glanced back over her shoulder at him, her lips tugged into a frown. “I am perfectly relaxed.” She set the dirty glass in the sink with a little more force than necessary and repeated, “Totally relaxed.”

“That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard!” Clark glared at Lois, his hands on his hips as he stared her down. At that moment, the half a foot he had on her looked like so much more, because it was clear that he had straightened up to his full height. Chloe wouldn’t bet on it, but it seemed as though he was doing it on purpose to be all that much more intimidating.

The normally soothing activity had seemed pointless and he’d given up.

I try to hide, I like you
I like you.

“So, what are we going to do tonight?” Clark asked, as he walked into my apartment. As usual, he had a gift in his hand. This time, it was chocolates.

My gaze narrowed on the writing on the box and I saw that it was from Belgium. And, by that, I didn’t mean that he’d just bought Belgian chocolates at a local store. Nope, that meant he’d made a pit stop in Belgium just before he came to my apartment.

Remember Me | Chapter 2/6

 

Exes and Ohs!

I stood in the elevator, trying to calm my frazzled nerves. After a bit of discussion, Clark and I had decided we weren’t going to tell anyone that I’d lost my memories. Rather, I had decided and he had, reluctantly, agreed to go along with the plan. Now that I was actually faced with going in the DP bullpen and pretending everything was okay, I was starting to have my doubts. Suddenly, I felt Clark catch my hand, his fingers clasped around my own in a reassuring manner. I glanced down and then back up at him. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to squeeze it more tightly or if I wanted to let go. After a second, the decision was taken out of my hands, because the doors the elevators slid open and I almost tripped over my heels in an effort to get the day over with as quickly as possible.

Still shaking off the last traces of sleep, I realized there was a heavy arm thrown over my waist and when I shifted, I saw that I shared the bed with someone.

Remember Me | Chapter 4/6

 Your Type (Really???)

The morning started out pretty uneventfully. Clark’s plan didn’t really work, because I didn’t wake up in his bedroom all magically recovered. In fact, for the first few minutes, it took me a while to remember I wasn’t eighteen and crashing at his place. I kind of expected Mrs. Kent to be coming in and telling me to get up and eat breakfast before it got too cold. Then, I remembered, and I got up to take a quick shower (it had to be quick since Clark had used up all the hot water).

The first time I’d woken up, I’d tossed on one of Clark’s plaid shirts and he immediately proceeded to take it off. The second time, he’d joined me in the shower. After that, I needed another nap and, now, I was finally able to make it down fully clothed and in one piece. It was about noon, so it technically wasn’t breakfast time, but I saw that Clark had set aside a plate of eggs, bacon and pancakes for me. And there was a fresh pot of coffee on the counter.

Private Lies

A/N: This is a drabble I wrote a part of the Jade/Sana Challenge Series. We would each pick the title of 3 romance novels as a challenge. The assignment was to pick one title and write a short story on the title.

It’s the little lies that are the worst.

The realization hits him when he’s formulating a particularly inept one. Something about his dog and food. The look on her face as he struggles to come up with a plausible explanation for his sudden departure tells him that she knows he’s lying. But, because she’s Lois, she won’t press him for answers or ask him why. Instead, she shrugs and makes a comment that is so wholly her. A crack about how it’s amazing Shelby’s still alive and then turns her attention back to her article, her pony-tail whipping towards her cheek at the movement. It’s not that she’s dismissing him. It’s that she’s giving him an opportunity to leave without having to explain more. Dig himself further. Expand the lie.

Speed Dating

A/N: Part of the Jade/Sana Challenge Series. 
_____________________________
 

“You’re doing what?” Clark asked, staring down at his girlfriend in disbelief.

“Speed dating, Clark. How many times do I have to repeat it?” Completely unaffected by his reaction, she continued to fill her bag with papers and various electronic devices. Clark frowned in confusion when he saw that one of the devices was a taser. His concern deepened.

Lois Lane Tells All

A/N: Part of the Jade/Sana Challenge Series.
(Yes, this actually is the title of a real romance novel.)

________________

“So, we have with us, in the studio, Ms. Lois Lane-Kent,” the host announced, with one of those polished bright smiles wielded only by news anchors and morning talk show hosts. “Please join me in welcoming her on Good Morning, Metropolis!”

Worth the Risk

A/N: Part of the Jade/Sana Challenge Series. 
_______________________

“Diana, we need to find you a man,” Lois declared. She grabbed a copy of the latest Daily Planet off the rack and rolled her eyes at the headline. Wonder Woman… Friend or Foe?

Her friend had been flipping through a coffee book she’d found on a display rack and at Lois’s announcement, she let out a sound of indignation. “Excuse me?” One brow rose coolly as Diana turned to face her.

Happily Ever After

Wow, memories. I wrote this back in December 2007 for Sunrei. The prompt for that Christmas fic exchange was "Grinch". It's set post-"Gemini".

December 23, 2007

Clark shook his head decisively. “No way, Lois. I can’t do it – I don’t care what you say.”

“C’mon, Smallville. You know you want to….,” Lois wheedled. She wheeled her chair a bit closer to where Clark stood and looked up at him. “Where’s your Christmas spirit?”

The Powers That Be

This was written in December 2009 as a gift for Sarawolfe. (The DI fic exchange.) The assigment was to write a story with Jor-el as a prompt. It is supposed to be set in S10. 
______________________________


“You have feelings for this woman,” Jor-el stated, his voice not reflecting any emotion outside of his typical arrogant tone.

“Yes,” Clark admitted. He looked around the Fortress and let out a sigh. “I love her.” Clark had considered hiding his feelings for Lois, but knew that Jor-el was not going to be held off for much longer. Especially now that Lois knew his secret and he was considering taking the next step in their relationship.

Two Angels

A/N: This was written in December 2006 and set in Season 7. The prompt for that year's DI secret Santa exchange was the title of songs. I got "O' Christmas Tree". And I wrote it for Sunrei.

Kent Farm
December 22, 2007

“I’m so glad you were able to make it, girls. I missed you last year,” Martha said affectionately as she took out a tattered cloth ornament from the box at her feet.

Lois glanced up from the box she’d been rifling through and lied smoothly, “Yeah, I missed you guys, too. This is so much more fun than last year.”

Christmas Stalkings (Part 1)

Another December 2009 Christmas fic for the DI Fic Exchange. This one was for Sarahbookjunkie (it was a make-up fic, because she didn't get hers). The request was S9 and Martian Manhunter. 
_________________________


“Well, we could go out to the new place tonight or we could order in,” Clark asked, following Lois out of the elevator to their desks. “I think we should order in.”

Christmas Stalkings (Part 2)

“OK, well, that’s the last of them,” Lois declared. She settled back on her sofa and let out a pleased sigh as she glanced around at her apartment. Completely devoid of plants and flowers of any kind, unless one counted the Christmas tree in the corner. She’d been avoiding her place all day, because the flower shop had said they couldn’t stop by until late in the evening, because of the rush in their store due to the holidays. Lois was glad to finally be rid of all them and happy that the local hospital had agreed to take them.

Charm Bracelet

 “Look what I found…” Lois sang out joyously as she held up a brightly wrapped package in her hand. It was a small box wrapped in green paper and a red ribbon. “My Christmas present from Clark!”

Chloe looked up from the table where she and Zatanna had been going through some papers and maps. “I thought you promised Clark you weren’t going to look for it.”
