xparrotSV's been giving us angst, but not the fun kind. So. Totally gratuitous Clex angst, written at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gnine's plea, thus I disavow any responsibility. It's set in the Subterfuge universe, after the death of Superman and before Kon's birth, as mentioned in "A Constant Struggle". Right now this is less a complete story, more a couple snapshot moments. See, I've never read those comics, am just going by Wikipedia and a few random tidbits I've picked up, so...do any of you comic fans want to point me to summaries/scans/collections to buy? Please? As this 'verse is all about reinterpreting canon, I need to know what canon is, in order to warp it! Any help you can offer, I'd be much obliged.
Warnings for cliche and unresolved aaaaangst (it does have a happy ending, as it's a prequel to the other Subterfuge stories - that ending's just not written yet, is all), and AU Kents - in this 'verse, Jonathan never died.

PG-13, Clark/Lex, AU futurefic, angst
The death of Superman, and Lex deals. Or not so much.
Read it on AO3

Re: wow....
Date: 2007-11-12 12:53 am (UTC)Yup, "A Constant Struggle" takes place about 7 years after this - the immediate sequel to this story would be the creation of Kon, but as I haven't read the Doomsday story in the comics yet, I can't easily AU it. But Superman came back to life in the comics and would return in a similar way in this AU. Sometime hopefully I'll get to that part of the story - meanwhile, thanks for reading!
