Smallville- Clex BannerTitle: Le Dormeur du Val
Author: Pun
Canon: Smallville/DC Universe
Pairing: Clark Kent/Lex Luthor
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 10,949
Summary: Lex takes in a weary Clark.

Recommendation: This is bringing a whole new meaning to the term “power nap”. The news snippets that Lex encounters throughout the story are a perfect way of telling the story of why Clark is there without being overt about it, which is terrific.

Smallville- Clex BannerTitle: Faking It
Author: suzvoy
Canon: Smallville
Pairing: Clark Kent/Lex Luthor
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 20,713
Summary: It’s just as well they’re best friends, really.

Recommendation: Trope-tastic fantasticness! I just love the fake boyfriends trope when both parties really want to be with each other for real. But I got to say when Clark and Lex weren’t focusing on the fake “relationship” stuff like touching and kissing, they acted like an old married couple already.

Smallville- Clex BannerTitle: Golden Rule
Author: rivkat
Canon: Smallville/DC Universe
Pairing: Clark Kent/Lex Luthor
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 13,205
Summary: If you love enough, you lie a lot.

Recommendation: This Clark is just a touch morally flexible, but considering the inducement. Basically Clark gets a do over with the Lex from his youth only now he’s much more able to take advantage of that opportunity. Ultimately they both get to be more honest with each other about the important things.

Smallville- Clex BannerTitle: Eggplant
Author: astolat
Canon: Smallville
Pairing: Clark Kent/Lex Luthor
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 9,114
Summary: to the place where your horses run free

Recommendation: Somehow I’ve ended up all nostalgic about Clex again. This seems to come on in waves, as it does with many of my older fandoms (Spander, McShep, etc.). I read this when it was new, and like with astolat’s other Smallville stories I have enjoyed it many times over the intervening years. (Even if it makes me feel a little old if I think about it too hard.)
