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.

I love The Incredibles.

Identity Crisis was, I guess they call it an 'event.' It was a storyline that affected the entire DC universe. The writing is incredibly powerful. It focuses mostly on the core members of the JLA.

The premise is that someone seems to know the secret identity of a bunch of different heroes and is attacking their loved ones. It causes a panic in the hero community and quite a few people are suddenly much more willing to ignore due process and take the law into their own hands. The story addresses the necessity of secret identities and lengths to which it is acceptable to go to protect them.
