Summary
Rey is bonded with Ben on a soul-deep level, but they’ve never actually spent much time together – unforced, both in the same physical location, with nothing in their immediate vicinity on fire.
Now that’s changing. And the truth is, Rey is in over her head with this new phase of their relationship. Because knowing Ben as an embodied redemption fantasy turns out to be very different from knowing him as a person.
Her friends aren’t making things any easier.

Summary
She regrets saying it, even as the words are still tumbling from her mouth. “I knew this would never work.”
“What does that mean?” She’s scraping her plate into the sink when he presses again. “What does that mean, Lois?”
“I don’t know. I just…I told you I’m not good at relationships.” Lois wasn’t sure exactly what she was hoping for, but it wasn’t the sound of her front door closing, and the quiet that swallowed her up whole. She leaned against her palms on the edge of the sink, arms locked straight, and let her head and shoulders droop down until she was looking at the floor, taking two deep breaths. He’d gone out the front door, so he’d have to be moving at a normal human pace for the time being. It was a coin flip on whether he’d gone down to street level and walked the three blocks home on foot, or whether he’d taken the stairwell up a floor to fly off from the roof. If it was the latter, he’d be gone before she could catch up. If the former, he’s probably still waiting for the elevator.
What if Clark came back to make amends after the interview went south? Technically set in the 2025 movie universe, but includes character details and references from MAWS and the first two Reeve movies.

Summary
It wasn’t supposed to matter. He was just another new reporter. Quiet, competent, weirdly polite.
Lois Lane clocked him in five seconds and dismissed him in ten.Until she didn’t.
Because Clark Kent always seems to know when she’s about to spiral. He remembers her coffee, her schedule, the fact that she forgets to eat lunch. He’s clumsy and soft-spoken and too damn sincere.
And when he’s not there, she notices.
And when someone else makes him laugh, she notices that too.Lois isn’t sure what to do with that.
But it’s becoming harder to ignore.- Language:

Summary
He gets stuck at the short-straw desk right next to the pillar that no one else wants; but it’s right behind her and she catches him listening to her rattling ideas off to Jimmy more than once. She’s not used to having someone there, encroaching on the one corner of her workspace that was devoid of people. And he’s so … cumbersome. It’s hard to ignore his presence. Not to mention he drops shit constantly.

Summary
She isn’t blind. She knows Clark has a crush on her. Everyone at the Planet knows that.
But the problem is, the feelings aren’t entirely one-sided. She can’t afford to be distracted, god knows that. Relationships are messy and she’s never been any good at it. Still, the way Clark Kent is staring at her, all too serious, filled with too much wounding devotion, she fears what he’s going to say because she’s always thought he’s perpetually one step shy of declaring his feelings for her — and she doesn’t entirely know what her response will be. Lois usually has her answers for everything.
He steps forward. “I need to tell you something, Lois. Something I should have told you a long time ago.”
And then, moving slowly, deliberately, he takes off his glasses — and just like that, Lois Lane’s entire world tilts off its axis.

“I don’t see why I have to go,” grumbles Maomao as Xiaolan dresses her.
“Of course you have to go! You are the consort of the Moon Prince, my lady!”
Maomao has still not met the emperor’s younger brother. She almost doubts his existence. There is a slight curiosity in her mind as to whether or not he will attend this garden party. Though, honestly, she much prefers him as a spectral figure than a flesh and blood one.

Summary
Imprisoned in the Red Hook dungeon, Frank realizes the prisoner on the other side of the wall from him is someone important.
Excerpt:
“No,” the man snapped, slightly irritated. “I’m a lawyer. Franklin Nelson.”Frank’s body locked up, like a trigger half-pulled. Time seemed to stand still. He could feel every bead of sweat on his brow, the ache of the bruises on his ribs, the way the cuffs dug in too tight to the flesh of his wrists. Not a single one of his muscles moved. He was pretty sure his heart stopped beating as comprehension washed over him, violent, impossible knowing. His ears were ringing as if he’d just taken a blow to the head, every nerve sparking in disbelief.
---Karen---
He shut his eyes and tears he hadn’t felt gathering ran down his cheeks.
“. . . so do I just call you New Guy, for now?” Nelson prompted, when Frank did not reciprocate sharing his identity. “You don’t have to tell me your life story or anything, just thought we could get acquainted. Since we’re gonna be neighbors for a bit.”
Frank fought through his stunned paralysis and made himself form words.
“Son of a bitch,” he gasped out. “You’re. . . Foggy Nelson.”

Summary
But when she opened the door to him that night with a “Frank”, her lip trembling as she stared at him – her eyes were already red from crying and she looked tired – he wondered how much that mattered. He knew what Karen Page looked like crying and breathing – or yelling – his name, he knew what she looked like with blood on her, but he didn’t know who Ben Urich was to her. He kind of hated himself for that. And for a man used to self-contempt, this dose noticeably burned.
