    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

    When Clark Kent joins the Daily Planet, to say Lois Lane is unconvinced is the understatement of the year. That wholesome, apple-pie earnestness might play well in Smallville, but here? Metropolis will chew him up in two deadlines or less— she’s seen it happen before and it isn't a pretty sight.

    Three months into the cape-and-rescue business, Clark is still figuring out how to do this right. Working as a reporter is the perfect cover— Superman might save lives in the spotlight, but he gets to listen to the people he tries his best to protect. For now, he sticks to what he knows: trial and error, a little fortune spent on dry-cleaning bills, and trying to land on Lois's good side.

    They shouldn't work— she questions everyone and everything; he trusts everyone and finds beauty in everything. But somewhere between the day-to-day newsroom chaos, the Superman-sized threats, and the exhausting business of being alive, they end up operating as a team— with the dangerous inevitability of two people who were always going to collide.

    Loosely inspired by the James Gunn movie, this is my take on this iconic duo. Mostly an office romance with lots of fluff, hurt/comfort, and family drama.
