a bit of fic

[xparrot]

I'm recovering from a cold (*cough* *snort* *sniffle* *whiiiine*), wrote this sick from a fever-conceived idea. So it's pretty rough; I might polish it later, not sure I'm going to bother. Smallville, not really Clex, alien invasion futurefic AU. Sort of dark, sort of post-apocalyptic, plenty weird, and so Lex-apologist your head will spin.

...Almost everyone, raising their eyes to the skies, realized the world was ended either way.

Oh wow. Um, I was so used to thinking there's no jail that could keep comics and toon Lex, and I forget that doesn't apply to SV Lex. In the light of canon, this could very well happen, but I still found Lex turning himself in as a real good twist to the story. I still want him free to take charge of the rebuilding process (and then he and Clark would eventually end up in bed together after a tiring day...) :D

I imagine Lex waited a couple months before turning himself in so he could oversee the first crucial steps of rebuilding. Well, and to wait until a prison was rebuilt. And he is helping out from prison, too, researching ways to get the implants out and such. Though sometime after this story I can see Clark chewing Lex out for taking the easy way, for not doing more to pay for his crimes (I don't believe in the justice of punishment nearly as much as I believe in redemption, in doing good deeds to make reparations for past evil...)
