at the end of the line,

AU where Clark tells Lex his secret in S3.

me:

It's particularly interesting because the show barely gives us ANYTHING to support this. We have one (1) Lex sex scene, plus one deleted scene, and while they're both hot, they're not at all spectacular. Zero characters, including Lex himself, discuss his sexual prowess (or lack thereof). And yet somehow, every single fic I've read (and written!) paints him as absolute dynamite in the sack.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not disagreeing or complaining about this! I fully support Sex God Lex Luthor (as evidenced by my inclusion of my own writing). I just find it SO interesting that we've collectively decided it. I feel like it's a competency kink sort of thing: Lex is shown to be someone who is generally very successful at everything he puts his mind to, so it does track that he'd be good at sex too. I don't know what, if anything, the comics have to say about his skills, so I can't draw any conclusions from that side of things.

Which of course rides the line of being ambiguous, like is he saying that he loves clark regardless? Or that he'll tolerate him? Or that hes irrevocably disappointed and upset that this means clark will never be able to have children if hes gay? because its jonathan and he's never gonna give a clear answer he's just going to get defensive over any follow up questions or insinuations hes not a perfect father

oh lawd ok tagged by @clarkslex and @ekkolocat1on and I also haven’t written 10 fics (I’ve written exactly nine) but here goes nothing lol

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides, now (smallville clex)

He's sitting in the same place Chloe left him in when he hears the gravel shift under another pair of footsteps.

Following an unfollowable tirade about that blonde bitch he calls a maker, Daniel tells him the hotel they're sleeping at.

Who you lookin' at, Lestat?

and the box was full (smallville clex, a deleted scene from my long fic “his other greatest weakness”)

It's one of those days where she wishes she worked on the obituary desk.

I see you lying next to me (smallville clex)

It's strange. He's 15 again, for a moment. His toes are just starting to brush up against his boots.

(I’ve had) the time of my life (smallville clex)

Lex would have picked somewhere a little more lowkey.

of honeysuckles and thorns (smallville clex Hollywood au)

The wedding uniting Hollywood’s two great families — the Luthors and the Fordmans — was to be a sunset, cliffside affair overlooking the Pacific with a modest count of two hundred thirty-five guests that were hand-selected by the bride’s public relations team and her well-connected half-brother. 

Being back here makes me hot in the face (smallville clex, deleted scene from hogw)

Why don't you just stay? It still has him reeling. His dad, asking Lex to stay the night.

his other greatest weakness (smallville clex)

It's not like he's a stranger to hearing his name mentioned in pitch meetings. Quite the opposite, actually. Lex Luthor, megalomaniac billionaire, owner of not one, not two, not three, not four, but five social media platforms, effectively creating a monopoly in the market that brought him before the senate — of course, Clark is used to his name wafting through the rooms of The Daily Planet in equal measure to burnt coffee.

but

Another short and sweet video. I am having too much fun with this.
