fic: Contingencies 1/7
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.

Re: Love the story so far....
But that's what troubles me.
You're a kid. You let other people influence you to judge someone, to hurt him, to destroy your friendship with him, to lie to him, instead of being honest and trying your best to salvage the friendship. It can't help but affect you, can it? But in what ways? Does the future Clark feel guilty for his part in it all, or does he blame Lex entirely, thus turning Lex into the supervillain that he has to fight to prove his own virtue? If it's the latter scenario, then it isn't very heroic. So, I feel a bit dubious about the SV version of Superman.
All these versions of Superman/Clark and Lex Luthor are beginning to make my head ache. :-)))
