katikat"A Web of Lies" by Hope Roy | Clark/Lex, Clark/Lana, past Lex/Lana | DARK, Dub-con/non-con | AU after Promise. Clark thinks that he's finally gotten everything he ever wanted. It doesn't take him long to find out that ideals seldom last | 68.000 words
This is a seriously dark and disturbing story. Don't expect happiness. Lex wants Clark and he doesn't care who he has to destroy to get him. And you know what's the most disturbing thing? Lex from S6-7, I can actually see him doing all that; as the S7 finale proved, not matter how much Lex hated Clark, he still loved him like a brother - Lex's own words.
Hope Roy's stories are amazing in their twisted darkness. Lex's evil, but still rational - and Clark's good, but not innocent. Her fics leave you feeling wrecked even if Clark and Lex end up together. She just has a way to keep them in character, angry, frustrated, full of hate - but still with this spark of hope that maybe, just maybe it could all change one day...
Lex only continued to smile. "And what do you think you can do to stop me?"
Clark felt something inside of him snap. "I'm leaving," he ground out, turning towards the door. "I don't even know why I came." Lex was always about games, twisting everyone else's mind, and Clark was tired of it. He didn't want to try to fight with Lex today--not when things were going so well in other parts of his life.
Lex's cold laugh chilled Clark to the bone. "Maybe it was because you know what I'm capable of."
