sv fic: Ties that Bond

[xparrot]

So this is why I have issues ficcing in large fandoms--every idea I have, I become paranoid that someone else has written it already, and likely better than I ever could. What's one way around this? Why, to write an idea that everyone else has written before! In this spirit, I bring you Kryptonian pair-bonding Clex fic. Same great cliché taste, half the smut. Er. Though not for lack of trying. (And instantly I am paranoid that someone has written this variation before. I apologize, unknown writer whose idea I may have inadvertently pilfered!)

Warnings: There's an oblique reference to a relationship that might've been Lana, though I couldn't actually bring myself to type her name.
NC-17 action of the man-on-man kind. Set a bit after 6th season, in this vague indefinite I-haven't-actually-seen-any-6th-season-eps-except-the-premiere way.
Revoltingly sappy, relentlessly silly. What can I say? Clex brings out the worst in me.

"Mate or die. Um. Kinda."

AWESOME! It must be mate or die fic day - this is the second really great Alien!Clark must mate with Lex story that I have read today - Wonderful!


I love how you made Clark prevaricate, but take a stand - one last lie to win the game (and Lex). I love that Clark finally understood that Lex knows, and by not telling him - or "telling" the world and not specifically telling Lex - Clark would have broken something irrevocably and lost something of great value. Yay, Clark.


Lex, oh Lex -- rings and crazy Alien mating - you lucky boy!

Lex, oh Lex -- rings and crazy Alien mating - you lucky boy!

Isn't he just? ^^ glad you enjoyed it! even if it may never happen, Clark realizing how important the truth is...one can't help but hope!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like this! very funny, very sly!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Heh, guess Clark's super-smarts finally came in ^^

"You're an alien. Which pair-bonds. Like a science fiction character."

"I'm an alien," Clark said, reasonably, "that makes me a sci-fi character by default."

*dies* I I love that!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ^^

"Your birth parents sent you across a galaxy to inflict their own ridiculous heteronormative values upon a culture just on the cusp of moving past such absurdity?"

"My birth parents were kind of dicks, turns out," Clark confessed.

I loved this line. Very funny.
I have a fondness of "bonding" stories. This was really cute.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

That was my sis's favorite line, too ^^ Glad you enjoyed it!

Looking forward to the moment when Clark made a misstep too absurdly great for even him to try to talk his way out of. At that moment, everything Lex was moving toward, everything he was becoming, would be vindicated, and the phoenix of his justified anger would rise from the pyre of their false friendship.

Darn that Clark! Ruined the world's most spectacular temper tantrum. :-D

Great fun!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee! but this way is so much more fun for them...

So glad you liked it! ^^

[mjrf.livejournal.com]

HOT! I love Lex's thought process. Err I've got to rescue the walls from the kiddo.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked! (not gonna ask about the walls... ^^;;)

"Revoltingly sappy, relentlessly silly."

Yup. Definitely. Also highly amusing! Too many humorous lines and images to pick a favorite. I love Clark's characteristically tentative "Um"ing in the context of the hardcore secrets he's sharing, as well as all of the inner thoughts Lex glosses over while sticking to the main points with his questions.

Mmph!" Lex growled warning, through his mouthful, and Clark moaned and sucked in his breath, biting his bottom lip, trembling all over. Lex had no mercy, sucking and licking with agonizingly slow, long strokes.

Hot and sexy--and not so distracting and so much an issue that it would stop me from reading and enjoying--but every so often a handful of such words stirs a part of me that doesn't want to know my daughter is the one writing this stuff. I'm glad you write this under your Xparrot pseudonym--helps me to read and appreciate it while still preserving the young, idealistic image I sometimes carry in my head of "sweet and innocent daughter mine."

[danceswithgary]

I had to laugh at this. It's the other way around for my daughter and me. She has emphatically told me she will NEVER read p0rn written by me, just the PG-13's. I had her beta one that I called PG-13 and she declared she would be scarred for life. *giggles*

[tasabian.livejournal.com]

Loved the funny, well-characterized dialogue and the wonderful descriptions especially this bit:

Lex tightened his grip so savagely that he would have left a normal man bruised, though his fingers barely dented Clark's perfect flesh and his fingernails slid on the smooth skin instead of scratched, like scraping over pliant metal, leaving no sign.

That's a great way of describing Clark's invulnerability!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, Lex kept getting very hung up on Clark's alienness throughout the story... ^^

[lastscorpion.livejournal.com]

I love this! There were way too many funny lines to quote them all, but I think Flannel-man. The Plaid Wonder? was my favorite. Wonderful!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you! happy you liked it!

[itsaslashything.livejournal.com]

I loved this! An honest Clark is such a rare find these days! Thanks for writing and for sharing this with all of us!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

You're welcome - thank you, so happy you enjoyed it! Yeah, we spend a lot of time watching SV screaming at Clark, (cue Genie from Aladdin voice) "Tell him the TRUTH!" He never listens. Dangit!

[nerowill.livejournal.com]

*grins* Very nice! I'm a fool for mate-or-die, even if Clark had to fabricate it! :) Clark making a last-ditch effort to win Lex is great.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hey, whatever works! As long as he gets his Lex ^^

[yma2.livejournal.com]

Very cool and sweet. Really well done for something that could have been increadibly cheesy. Though I think Lex me wish he's not offered when he sees the costume.

Poor Lex.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee, happy you liked! It is a pretty ridiculous scenario, but it appeals anyway.

Though yeah, you're totally right, Lex is so gonna reconsider when he sees those primary colors ("It's not you, Clark, it's the costume! I'm morally obliged to battle such a fashion travesty!") (...of course old-comic-book-Lex is one to talk. Purple and green!?)

[lapetite-kiki.livejournal.com]

Great story!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

glad you...liked....guuuuuuh (totally distracted watching your icon. Man that's pretty!)

[lishel_fracrium.livejournal.com]

guh. *puts in mems*

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it! ^^

[jakrar.livejournal.com]

I love the way you have Clark's long-awaited truth come at just the right moment to change everything that otherwise would have been. (Guess they're right when they say that timing is everything.) Beautifully done: erotic and funny and heartwarming. *purr*

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you! (yes, I'm a firm believer in the "Clark telling the truth, hot sex, happy ending!" theory of Superman's future ^^)

[chalciope.livejournal.com]

Sappy is good. I like sappy. *nods*

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

so do I - glad you like! ^_^

"Your birth parents sent you across a galaxy to inflict their own ridiculous heteronormative values upon a culture just on the cusp of moving past such absurdity?"

Your Lex always have the best lines.

[ender24]

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee, glad you enjoyed it! It feels rather odd to be writing Clex again after so long a hiatus - but cool, too. I do love these boys... ^^

(ooo, recs! awesome! thanks so much!)

[flmun.livejournal.com]

This is a great piece. Not too unrealistic to ever fit into the 'verse, but still idealistic enough to be heart-warming. Not too mention fairly hot, too. Thanks for posting.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

"Your birth parents sent you across a galaxy to inflict their own ridiculous heteronormative values upon a culture just on the cusp of moving past such absurdity?"
