xparrotOkay, I take back what I said about Lex in "Promise." This is what's really going on. Major props to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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. )

Date: 2007-03-17 12:34 pm (UTC)I have a little happy!Clex (or pre-Clex, rather) that I'll be putting up soon, plus a Conner-fic with a side order of Clex that is almost finished...(the ironic thing here is that I really, genuinely adore happy endings and cuteness and fluff. I don't save darkfic because it makes me sad to read it. But writing it...I don't know what's wrong with my brain, that it keeps churning it out...I blame Lex for being so smexy when he's angsting. ^^;;;)
