fic: Contingencies 1/7

[xparrot]

I need to start posting this now, before the final eps of the season blow it completely out of the water. Hopefully I'll finish it before they start airing...hope no one minds a bit of fic spamming in the next couple weeks.

This is about my favorite non-futurefic SV scenario, which I've been wanting to try my hand at, though this...got a bit out of hand. It's the classic 'Lex turns up at the Kent farmhouse in dire straits', given a 6th season twist. This is not quite the story I was intending to write. I have a feeling it needs a warning, but I'm not exactly sure for what. Let's see: it's dark, it's angsty, it's sappy, and it may go shamelessly over the top in any of these directions. I can promise a light at the end of the tunnel, but it's going to be a long tunnel.

Major spoilers for the entire series, especially "Solitude" and "Vessel"/"Zod," and all of 6th season aired thus far.

Smallville: Contingencies, 1/7 {5,957 words}
PG-13; Clark/Lex; 6th season; angst, drama, h/c
Lex, forced to his last resort, comes to the Kent home. And Clark must rise to the occasion, as he finds himself questioning his assumptions about his dying enemy.

I apologize deeply for the WiP thing. But you won't have too long to wait! I am really hoping to finish this before the new eps air...

Yes, this is very much based on all my recent Lex-nalysis (hence the need to finish before the new eps, because I'm not confident our theories are going to hold up through the season finale.)

And, while I really don't like to spoil my own stories...you don't have to stop reading. Really!

Please no apologies. You can't help that you're so good at what you do, I'm completely at the mercy of your muse. :)

Glad to know I won't have to give this up, thank you kindly for the assurance.

I actually have a little plot bunny that won't leave me be inspired by your Lex-nalysis. Based on Lex possibly being right about Clark's role as a recon agent for the Alien invasion.

Even when I'm not reading your fic I'm completely snared by your words. So no apologies, please. I didn't even realize how harsh that may have sounded until I read it just now. *apologetic blushing*

Hugs.

*laughs* don't worry! The apology was something of a joke - I didn't take your comment as harsh at all (you should hear what my sis threatens to do to me when I'm not writing fast enough for her tastes!) Besides, as I'm wary of WiPs myself, I very much understand your feelings. Will try my best not to let you down! XD

And good luck with your plot bunny, sounds like an interesting fic! Will you be posting it anywhere?
