fic: The Right of Truth, part 1

[xparrot]

Next week we (hopefully) will return you to your regularly scheduled fic. For now - gratuitous Clex h/c, set in late second season. If I had been watching the show back then, this is just the sort of fic I would've been writing: slash angst-fluff, pretty much, exploring an issue about Clark's secrets (and in fact most superhero secret identities) that's been bothering me.

Warnings for a bit of good old fashioned Lex!torture in the beginning, and generally woobie!Lex. Also the Kents are perhaps not very nice here, which wasn't my intent, but how it worked out. Hopefully in an IC way, but still. (And may I say *sigh* that being an asshole is in character for SV's Jonathan...)

Smallville: The Right of Truth (1/2)
R, Clex, h/c; second season
Lex is kidnapped and it's Clark to the rescue as usual, but he might not be ready for all he finds.

Read it on AO3

Spoilers?

Hi,

I read the warnings and saw the Lex!torture warning. I was just wondering is there a non-con plot in this story? I don't read rape stories and didn't want to start reading the story if that's what the "torture" was. Just wanted to check beforehand. I do like to be spoiled in those cases. *g* If you don't want to say in a public post, you can e-mail it to me.

Thanks!

Nope, no non-con; the torture is just a bit of interrogation from generic bad guys, it's very mild by fic standards, no worse than anything that happens in the show. I tend to be overly cautious about warnings.
