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.
