Fic rec: Smallville

"A Box Called Time" by Sage | Clark/Lex, Clark/Lois | Off-screen death at the beginning | A grieving Superman returns to the one person he can trust | 6.700 words

Clark's eyes were wet again, which meant-- Lex's brain had already spun a hundred scenarios that would explain this moment, this completely surreal experience of waking up in the middle of the night to argue with one's former lover and current nemesis as he levitated above the bed. It didn't help that said lover/nemesis also happened to be the most powerful non-magical creature presently residing on the planet, or that something had possessed him to break in and demand the secret stash he'd entrusted to Lex over a decade before.

I love both Lex and Lois in this fic. Clark is so broken and both Lex and Lois are trying to fix him in their own way...
