Why this must be read: Admittedly, it's a rather small category, so perhaps it's faint praise to call this my favorite "human Clark" story. Clark does a bunch of Super things over the course of the story, as per usual, but he's losing his powers and has no idea why. Loss and change are the order of the day and the whole thing is bittersweet and funny and sexy. There are some great original characters without a trace of Punky Sue. I especially like this Lois: even though it's not a very flattering portrait, it is a sympathetic one. Punk's Metropolis is a place I want to visit. The very brief sushi outtakes on her site (Leftovers) should be read, also.

Fine. I'll admit it. I think you should read everything Punk has written, even the non-SV stuff.

Read, enjoy, and then tell her how much you loved it.

Absolutely LOVED this story.
It was perfect. Lex was perfectly laconic and just so very Lex, and Clark was heartbreaking.
