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

Heee - whenever the sis and I start complaining about SV Clark's asshattery, the bro always says, "But Superman's a dick! That's just the way it is!" I never should've showed him that site XD

(and no problem about the meta discussion - this really is another essay not-so-cunningly disguised in fic-form; in fact I almost wrote it as one, but then realized I could work in some h/c if I fic'ed it, so there you go ^^)

Thanks for the meta link, btw, will haveta check it out!
