Why this must be read: because it's unique. It is future fic, not angsty Clark and Lex are enemies, but no, Lex and Clark are married and happy future fic.

Plus, it is told not from Clark or Lex's point of view, but from the reporter/photographer who is following them trying to take President Luthor's picture for the tabloids -- the kind of pictures that get president's impeached. *g*

And this photographer does his job well. One night, he catches Superman in a passionate embrace with Lex and captures the images on film. The pictures are printed in the tabloids and Lex is portrayed as a cheating spouse, a la Bill Clinton.

This story is charmingly written, amazingly detailed and somehow manages to look into Clark and Lex's life even from a third party POV. A little known gem that you should treat yourself to reading.

Thanks for recc'ing. I quite enjoyed it. A clever idea and nicely executed. The unknown observer dynamic is a nice jumping off point to explore the difference between public face and private relationship.

It does violate one of my pet peeves, though. Right after a pretty detailed description of a blow job, the narrator says that he thinks the couple "are going to have sex" and he won't see it because they move out of his view. As if oral sex isn't sex...

One of my favourites in the "getting caught" category. Good rec!
