Once upon a time, when Smallville originally exploded onto the fangirl scene, I was intrigued, and soon became a disciple of the Clex. I never quite could bear the teen high school hijinks of the show, however, so was never more than a passing fan, though I devoured the astonishing amounts of quality fic. I wrote a couple short stories and then moved on.
Four years later, I came back. With a vengeance.
Here there be slash, and lots of it. Everything here is Clark/Lex, unless otherwise marked; they are one of my ultimate OTPs, now and always.
(futurefic) Nemeses, secrets, vulnerabilities, and the truth.
(futurefic) Eight thousand miles away, he hears, but even Superman can't always make it in time. And maybe he doesn't always have to.
(silly) Mate or die. Um. Kinda.
(Yu-Gi-Oh x-over, Seto Kaiba/Lex Luthor slash) Sometimes broken edges can almost fit together. Lex meets a boy one semester at Excelsior.
(near-future-fic) Lex has vision, a reason for everything, and a lot to drink.
(6th season, silly) Clark has a significant revelation about certain moneyed acquaintances.
(6th season, angsty h/c) Lex, forced to his last resort, comes to the Kent home, and Clark must rise to the occasion, as he finds himself questioning his assumptions about his dying enemy.
Parallel universe madness! Lex Luthor wakes up in his own bed in his own penthouse, infinitely far from all he knows. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor wakes up in his own bed in his own penthouse, just as far from home...
A futurefic Clex AU, which began with a silly crossover and spiraled out of control from there.
Prequels (episode tags)
(ep tag to 5x02, "Mortal"; pre-slash) Clark runs home from the Talon; Lex is waiting for him.
Futurefic
The original story, written in the 2nd season of the show, so no longer in keeping with either show canon or the AU canon:
(Static Shock crossover, Clex and V/R slash) "Give it up. They know."
And it goes on from there:
(Static Shock crossover, Clex and V/R slash) Having the world's number one supervillain in his office doesn't exactly make Robert Hawkins' day. And that's before they both get kidnapped.
(Static Shock crossover, Clex and V/R slash) Robert and his boys are invited over to family dinner with Lex Luthor and three generations of Kents.
The death of Superman, and Lex deals. Or not so much.
These are mostly episode tags, reinterpreting certain canon events, with a strong bias towards mastermind!Lex. He's not nearly as cool in the show as he could be, and I'm inspired to do something about it, on occasion. Angsty darkfic, mostly.
Ep tag to 6x17, "Promise" Lex Luthor is used to desperation.
(dark; spoilers for 6th season) Lana Lang had found her destiny elsewhere, and maybe that was best for everyone after all.
Ep tag for 6x18, "Progeny" Meteor freak Lowell's take on the events of the episode, 33.1, and Lex Luthor.
(AU futurefic) Almost everyone, raising their eyes to the skies, realized the world was ended either way.
In addition to the fic, since mainlining the show I've been meta-ing up a storm, with the help of my partner in crime Gnine. Enough so that we starting a livejournal community for Lex-apologists and other minions - lex_minions.
My Lex essays are collected here, and in order:
The Tragedy of Lex, Part I & Part II
5th Season Lex - the base of the Lex-nalysis, our interpretation of Lex's later-season motivation
Lex, the beginning of 6th season
Later 6th season: 33.1, "Static", "Freak", and Lex as protagonist.
Lex & morality - okay, fine, not the protagonist, but there are so many shades of gray...
So who is the hero, anyway?
On blaming Clark and Lionel's culpability
