Demarcation, Delayed Reactions

[iamtheenemy.livejournal.com]

Claim: Smallville, Clark/Lex
Title: Demarcation
Author: Livia
Characters: Clark, Lex
Prompt: 44. Mask
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: This is a great story about Clark trying to live behind the masks that he's created. He's Clark Kent and he's Superman, and he has to keep those two being separate, no matter what the cost. Superman sleeps with Lex, and Clark struggles to keep his emotions in check. It's lovely, and the end is great.

"You're lying to me." It stung. But so did using his knowledge of Lex against him. To Clark it felt like cheating, it felt like this whole night and how all the lines he'd drawn so carefully were just blurring away. Like everything else on this earth, there was nothing strong enough to stand up to Clark, to hold him in.

Claim: Smallville, Clark/Lex
Title: Delayed Reactions
Author: Sleeps With Coyotes
Characters: Clark, Lex, Lana
Prompt: 43. Denial
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: In this great fic, Clark and Lex are desperately trying to have sex, but they're denied at every turn by one Smallville-level catastrophe after another. You'd feel bad for them if it weren't so darn funny.

"Well...do you want the comforting lie or the sad truth?" Lex asked, clearing his throat as the completely inappropriate laughter bubbled up again. It really wasn't funny--the smell alone precluded any hint of humor at this point--but it was so totally Smallville, he just couldn't help it.
