darkfic: Promises to Keep

[xparrot]

Okay, I take back what I said about Lex in "Promise." This is what's really going on. Major props to jakrar for inspiring us to peer deeper into the mechanism, and to gnine for hashing out more of the details.

This is a fanfic and episode meta in one. I could have written yet another essay, but this was more fun and only took a couple hours to dash off. The characterization might make more sense if you're aware of our current interpretation of Lex.

Smallville: Promises to Keep {2,063 words}
PG-13. Warnings for meteorfreak!Lana and mastermind!Lex. Well, less warnings for the latter, more reassurances. He's been sorely lacking of late in the show proper. Also massive spoilers for "Promise." The dialogue and action are all from the episode's script; the words in between are mine.

( Lex Luthor is used to desperation. )

Oh, yay! Meteor!freak Lana always makes me so happy, and since they turned Chloe freak Lana might as well be too...

As much as I like Smallville, I agree that all the season 6 episodes make me miserable. Martha has gone all flippy, Chloe is masochistic, Clark is pathetic, Lana is (as always) a tragedy in motion, and Lex... oh, Lex. I think it's why I keep on having little Lois-gasms (as I'm calling them) when she's in an ep; even when she gets walked on by men, she's still kicks ass. I love her and her little bubble of non-patheticness.

Somewhere, comic-book!Lex Luthor is plotting the demise of all sv writers.

OMG YES!!! LOIS!! YAY!!! (um, sorry, I just thought I was the only SV fan in the world who actually likes Lois. These days she's my favorite character after Lex and (maybe) Clark. I have this terrible idea for a rewrite of 5th season wherein Lois sees the ship instead of Lana, and starts hanging out with Lex investigating it. Only then villain!Lex would never happen because Lois wouldn't give him time to be evil since she'd always be dragging him out for pizza, and finally would lock him & Clark in a room together until they worked out their differences.)

Totally agree that SV writers should be watching out for the real Lex Luthor. He's totally gonna pwn them for character assasination.
