Why this must be read: The first story in this sequence, "Promise," has already been recced, but the sequel, "Not Yet," is also wonderful. It's longer, plottier, more science-fictional, and fills me with glee. I think this series is possibly my favourite friendship fic in this fandom, which is saying something; and as an added bonus, "Not Yet" is also a beautiful first time story. I often think about Ruby's take on Clark and Lex, about the wonderful accumulation of detail that makes the friendship feel real, about some of the lovely ironies that the she weaves into the mix, and yes, about the great sf plot. I just like this story a lot, okay. I think you will too.

The links to the author's site take you to a page that says "temporarily unavailable". I followed the link to the previous rec, and it says that GeoShities deactivated the site, and corrected the links to point to a SV archive.

Darn it! I thought I checked all the links before I posted the rec. Thanks for the heads up. *goes to check*

That is so weird--all the links work for me! Maybe there was just too much traffic right after I posted the rec or something. It all seems to work now, anyway. But thank you so much for taking the time to comment.
