Fic rec: Smallville

[katikat]

"Repent at Leisure" by RivkaT. Clex. Summary: To save Lois's life, Clark makes a bargain with Lex. Complications ensue. Length: ~22.500 words.

It wasn't like he hadn't known that Lex would be embarrassingly, outrageously good at sex. He'd seen Lex walk. And bend over. And touch things. And lean on—whatever, Lex was an Olympic-quality sexual gymnast, this was news to precisely no one.

This is a seriously amazing fic. And I mean seriously. It's funny and touching and... and... and... Seriously amazing. Yes, I'm at loss for words, it's that awesome! I just adore SV future!fics.

Wow, it's like you psychically knew that I was just getting into the SV fandom! Now, I'm just going to have to sift through your other SV recs. What a pity, right? :p

...except there's only one series there. Sadness!

Yay, more recs! Wow, I'll have to take a look through those, awesome. :D

I've actually been reading mainly future-fics to start with! Because that seems to be what my fave authors like, and I started with them (obviously). astolat has several, for example: Reconcilable Differences (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/smallville/Reconcilable_Differences.html) (with its Kon-El/Tim Drake sequel Vacation (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/smallville/Vacation.html)), Ulterior Motives (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/smallville/ulterior%20motives.html), Moving On (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/smallville/Moving%20On.html) (<3), and Revenge (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/smallville/Revenge.html). (Yes, yet another Astolat fangirl here. :p) And iHero (http://members.ozemail.com.au/~brussell/ihero.htm) by Bernice is surprisingly good, wherein Lex is in a car accident and gets superpowers! That one really sucked me in, I gotta say. Knowledge of the DC universe (mostly Justice League) would be good for most of these future-fics, at least who the characters are.

Oh, and not a future-fic but still really awesome, lanning's Identical series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/897), which is nearing 300,000 words and is still a WIP. Well, it's eleven stories with the eleventh story being a WIP but a WIP that's being steadily updated.

Er, also not future-fic, sorry, but rageprufrock's Psychobabble (http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/psychobabble.php) is also really good.

And that's just so far! Am about to start Pru's Conflicts of Interest stories, so that should take up quite some time. When I come across another good future-fic, I'll try to remember to drop you a line.

Thank you so much for the recs!

I loved Reconcilable Differences as a podfic. Fayjay reads them perfectly! And I don't usually like songs in podfics, but the one she chose - Miniature Disasters by K.T. Unstall - fit perfectly!

Also, I can't believe that nobody has turned Conflict of Interests into a podfic yet. I mean, it's PERFECT! The sequel is really good too, but CoI is literally perfect.

You're welcome! I'm reading through "Repent at Leisure" right now, and it's so good!

Oh, man, Smallville podfics! Now I have to go download all the SV podfics in the Archive. I'm so glad someone did Reconcilable Differences! And actually, I have it on good authority that someone is currently recording CoI; 2naonh3_cl2 has already posted her podfic of CoI's sequel, Visiting Hours. :D
