Fic rec: Smallville

"Wisdom to Know the Difference" by bipolypesca | Clark/Lex | Future!fic | Knowledge isn't always power. | ~45.000 words

Kal made a muttering sound and both Lex and Lexx jumped as an errant arm came slapping over Lexx's chest. Lex's eyebrows arched, but before either of them were able to say a thing, Kal had wrapped Lexx in a tight embrace and cuddled up to his back, flattening his nose and lips against Lexx's neck.

Lex was surprised at such an overt expression of affection considering the length of time they'd apparently been together. But the expression on his other self's face—as if stoic acceptance and wry irritation were having a fistfight—convinced him it wasn't the norm.

"Kal." Lexx shrugged a shoulder firmly. "Kal."

Kal only mumbled and held him more tightly.

Lexx turned as well as he could, pressed the heel of his hand to Kal's shoulder, and gave a great heave. "Christ, you're like a furnace!"

I love the difference between Lex and Lexx on the one side and Clark and Kal on the other. The time jumping is quite confusing - well, time traveling always is, I guess :)

Clamp's "Tsubasa Chronicle Vol. 21" (manga), #86

Oh my God! Did Kurogane really do what I think he did to save Fai? Man, how many body parts can a group of four - okay, with Mokona it's five - afford to lose? But I loved that even after Fai's past was revealed, Kurogane still didn't care. He cared about the present and about their future, not about the past, things nobody could change. Fai's shocked look! Loved that Kurogane refused to let Fai go.
