Congrats on your four awards. All very well deserved.
I love having Clark at the DP -- getting more insight into his future life, realizing who he becomes as Clark Kent as a reporter.
Clark closed the manila folder and sat back in his chair. He blew out a breath, ruffling his bangs. The chatter of nearby DP workers was a mere buzz in the back of his head. His gaze strayed to the bulletin board on his cubicle wall. Dates and appointments were written neatly on the white board half, but the corkboard half had pictures and older articles. His eyes passed over a picture of his future self embracing Lois from behind, their expressions laughing and carefree; instead, he focused on the bylines. Looking at each cut-out article, ‘Reported by’ was followed by one of three variations: Clark Kent, Lois Lane and Clark Kent, or Lois Lane-Kent and Clark Kent.
Clark knew there was significance to each and every article his future counterpart had pinned to the board, but he was careful to not read the headlines. Somehow, he understood this was only the tip of the iceberg to the number of articles he had written by himself or with Lois.
He felt pride well up inside him. His days as an intern would pass, and he would become a successful journalist, one of the Daily Planet’s top reporters. Seeking truth and finding justice in a way outside of his hero persona.
I really enjoyed this section because you perfectly highlighted Clark's long standing insecurities about being alone; about not being happy and loved. And how he is happy with his own life -- that he can be the hero and the reporter.

Ah, so that is why Clark is in the future because the timeline was disrupted because of his fear. Lois' angry and hurt reaction to his revelation was heartbreaking. So does that mean essentially future!Clark no longer exists?
LOL to why future!Clark wore his wedding ring on a necklace. I can just imagine Clark's face when the realization hit him. Hilarious.
Clark thinking about wanting to punch Bruce? Priceless
