Smallville recs LilyCharlotte style

Somehow ryo got me to do this too. Smallville started off dripping so much subtext it took me around three seasons to start getting annoyed at the stupidity. Truly it`s only been this last season where I`ve needed to scream things and/or rant for long periods. Still even with very little appeal in the show for me, I can never seem to shake the desire to watch it. Clark is played by hot with tasty lips, even if he can`t act. Lex is sexy evil intelligent, who can act. Endless missing scenes, new perfect situations and things (like AquaLad in restraints begging Lex to get him wet) that require very little to go from WB to soft core porn. Not that I`m implying that`s usually a large stretch.

Anywho, I can handle Lex with anyone so if incest squicks you, tread carefully, also expect lots of funny recs. I`m a sucker for funny smallville.

If you remember the movie ''The Lost Boys'' you`ll enjoy this. If you don`t or haven`t watched it ever, watch it then read, you don`t have to watch to enjoy this but you should watch anyway.

''Thrill Ride''
L/C
Lex, Clark, car, leather gloves.
''Black Pond''
L/other
Clark and Lex go out for a cozy fishing date at a pond filled with meteor rocks. Turns out everything loves Lex.
''The Very Secret Thoughts of Clark Kent''
L/C
He`s the last of his kind. It`s not surprising that an alien teenager would have angst to express. Good thing Lex is there to appreciate it. Very very cool, read twice in a row and be like me.

Ad Astra Per Aspera''
L/C
There`s a whoooole lot of angst to work through but you end up with snuggly slightly screwed up Clexness, which I guess could be seen as a bad thing, but I`m me so I get to highly rec.

At the same time this is highly A/U the story still fits in with the DC universe. Only difference is Lionel is slightly more insanely evil. Take if from there and everything else slots into place.

''Identical''
L/C, mentions of other stuff
First off, it`s the Smallville series, sadly there is no where near as much Smallville fic written by Lanning Cook. Which you will agree with me about when you`re done Identical. Second, this is a fairly long series, and you`re going to want to have time to sink into it. So plan for it.
Including references to some of the greats of literature, Watership Down, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Alice Through the Looking Glass, the identical series manages to be funny all the way through angst, romance, and everything else you could want in a good series. Seriously
I admit there is a slight deus ex machina issue that i would really like to be able to use as an excuse to dislike this fic, but honestly it is too well written in ever regard to have the least bit of an impact on me. Really great at being bad at relationship fun too. Thankfully Clark isn`t too oblivious in this fic. It`s almost like Clark is some kind of man of steel with bravery to match. That and the pet names are really sweet. And it`s reallly really funny. And the plot is all coherent and sane.

''Golden''
L/C
I have probably spent more time looking for this story than any other fic ever, with the possible exception of that crossdressing highlander thingie...in any case for some reason the fic sticks in my head but not the title, because clearly, I am an idiot.

Everything starts of easily enough, Clark and Lex off in the big city together. Stuff of course happens, but how it happens is kinda a give away that Clark isn`t exactly from Kansas.

Some sections I`m not as crazy about but this is far too snuggly and romantic to pass up.

''Two Halves''
L/C
This is absolutely adorable Clexcest. Very sweet if slightly angsty. If you enjoy Clexcest totally read this.
''A Mad Season''
L/C, m/L
Primarily a Clexy tale that takes Shattered and makes it, well, good. Lionel is a touch more evil, Clark is slightly more angsty, and the story is heaps more interesting.
''The Lazarus Gap''
L/C
Post-Exodus redux. Bad things happen to Lexy and Clark isn`t there to save him. Good thing he`s Lexy and he can work stuff. Snuggliness happens.

"I can't believe you called Batman a demented vampiric pixie from hell with abandonment issues and a twisted messianic complex,"

Lots to enjoy ^-^

''The Road Not Taken''
L/C, L/omc, C/omc, some other less important relationshipness
A massive what if story that is soooo good. Logic, sanity, thinking. Actual reasons behind stuff that happens! I know! It`s very radical in that regard but still read.

The Spike
''The Butterfly Effect''
L/C
Lex is all scientisty and pre-evil and Clark decides to not be an idiot, and seriously this has got to be probably one of the strangest write ups for this story and I am sure there are many because, baby this is really that good.

''Live Wire''
L/C
Yay for smut and kink! Oh and yay for Lex being smart a finding toys for Clark.
''No Obstacle''
L/C
All right, it wasn't much of a change to the Clark-obsessed, but at least it got Lex thinking about something other than stripping flannel off and licking naked skin.

Clark gets in touch with his inner horny alien self, and Lex gets some.

''Pharaoh''
L/L, L/C
A/U historical fic, guess where it`s set. Candy if you get it right. I have a thing for historical a/u fic, I know I have issues. This is really good, my strange obsessions aside.

Evangelene
''Just What I Needed''
L/C some squicky bits, worth it though
Completely ooc but they`re more interesting than the Smallville versions of themselves so it`s worth it. I love this story. I have no idea how I missed it for so long but now that I have found it I never want to let it go. Brilliant genius and funny as hell.
''First Coffee of the Day''
L/C
Superman is having one of those days and Lex isn`t helping, what with him being evil and all.
''Perfect Day''
''Metropolis Rock City''
''Adjusting''
L/C
So it`s 7:30 in the morning, the sun is starting to get higher and um...brighter and I have to be up in a few hours, possibly 1 or 2, and I`m not in bed because I`m reading this! Or rather finishing up reading Evangelene fic because it is righteous. The Nickleback thing reminded me of my moments in front of crap bands this summer for Diru in Family Values. The same crap got played over and over by different bands, I looked bored, and I would have critiqued the lyrics if I had been able to make them out. Anyway, I`m babbling `cause it`s approaching 8 in the morning. I reeeeeally don`t want to be awake, but I am. It`s that kind of fic.

''Interstitial''
L/C
Okay, I know I already recced this. Apparently the rec got lost, so I will now include a larger excerpt than I included the last time I recced this.

"Clark's coming with us to the game. Is there room for all of us or will I have to sit on his lap?"
Lex coughs. "I own the stadium, Amanda. I think they can squeeze us in."
Amanda rolls her eyes. "Yes, I know, you're incredibly rich. I was talking about the car."
"Oh." Squeak of shifting leather. "There's a...back seat."
"That thing has a backseat?" They sound equally skeptical.
"I'm looking right at it. You should fit if you don't breathe very much." More squeaking leather. "Hmm..."
"What?"
"There's golf clubs back here."
"You don't golf."
"They must have come with the car."

I love this a whole bunch of oats. Once you`ve read this and loved it a whole bunch of oats read Leftovers for some left over Interstitialness.

''Q.E.D.''
L/C
Lex, because he was Lex and believed in psyching out the competition by any means necessary, did not have chairs in the space outside his office. Clark sat on the floor next to a potted palm and made himself comfortable.

Very cute.

"What if you were pretending to be -- I don't know -- a pirate, and you actually turned into one. Wouldn't you be a little freaked out?"

Not really sure what else to say.

''Meanwhile, back in Metropolis...''
L/C
More future fic ^-^ yays even. Clark is Superman and Lex is Lex.

"Lex, I'm just concerned you might--" You play with your fork. "Blow a hole in the space-time continuum and destroy life as we know it."

He peruses the wine list. "Should we have a Pinot Noir?"

You plow forward. "I think you should reconsider your commitment to this project."

"I don't see any compelling reason for me to do so."

Very snuggly, more great writing.

"Lucky for him it's just a particle accelerator and not a Doomsday machine, as I'm sure he's got better things to do than hang around babysitting a bunch of magnets."

"It's still dangerous," you insist. "He'll be forced to destroy it, and I know how expensive big magnets can be."

He finally glances up from the wine list. "In that case, you'll be pleased to know there's now a section of the LexCorp budget expressly dedicated to Superman related damages. Knock yourself out, Clark. I've got alien insurance."

Artemis
''The Great Hunt''
L/C
Found this bookmarked while I was hunting for fic in a completely different slashdom and got sucked into reading it again. I had meant to rec this earlier too...ah well at least I remembered eventually ^-^ Short, funny, sweet. Great fic.
''Harry Potter and the Comic Geek''
L/C
A conversation between Lex and Clark about Harry Potter and world domination. Did I mention I love this? `Cause I should `cause I do.

Basingstoke
''Girl''
Bruce/Lex
I started to debate wether to rec this or not, as I do with everything, the pro side quickly won. First it`s Bruce and Lex, second it`s Lex in a dress. Which is really enough. Great writing and the fact it`s touching and sweet fic are just added bonuses.
''At the Fifteenth Annual Evil Masterminds Convention ''
Lex/Scott Evil
"Dad doesn't have a nemesis. We were workshopping it earlier. He says he's going to antagonize a farmer out by one of our plants."

"A farmer? A farmer as your dad's sworn enemy?" Scott laughed. "I'm sorry, dude, but that's pretty lame."

"Oh, believe me, I know." Lex rolled his eyes. "If we were talking a mutant farmer with super powers, that would be less lame, but this is just a guy who grows corn. Organic corn! Dad says he has grass-roots support that makes him more of a threat but I think he's full of it."
