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

Was just happily rereading, and noticed this:

Hearing footsteps through the door, Lex hastily tucked his hands under himself. He was halfway through the rope, not quite ready, and couldn't blow his chance until the time was right. Which hopefully would be soon; he was quite thoroughly bored. The only thing keeping utter ennui at bay was the knowledge that he had seen his captor's faces, enough to pick them from a lineup. That did not bode well for his future chances, if he failed to procure his own freedom.

In the next-to-last sentence, it should be 'captors' faces' rather than 'captor's faces.'

Love this story!
