Adaptability by Rageprufrock (PG-13)

I'm your new Smallville reccer for the month, and I've got a list of some really fantastic stories to bring to you!

Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock
Author Website: Glitterati

Why this must be read: We'll start out with a hilarious favorite of mine, Adaptability by [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock. Pru writes fantastic Smallville humor--she just comes up with these ideas you'd be downright terrified of sometimes, and makes them work, and they're all the better for the sheer energy and pizzazz she brings to the table. She likes to pretend this story doesn't exist, and kind of clams up at the word "assbaby", but....

You'll laugh. You'll laugh. You'll cringe. You'll put Lex up for sainthood and still want to cuddle Clark *all the time*.

Quote:

Hunched over his desk, Lex made a list, writing out each of Clark's supposed symptoms of pregnancy in purple Pilot Precise pen:

Fatigue.
Cravings.
Dizziness.
Alien.


Lex stared at the list for a moment before adding:

Prettier than he is smart.

And then the ending is rather reminiscent of one of those monster movie endings, where they have the dramatic theme music, and the dun-dun-dun. Just--this story is *adorable*, it has an utterly distinctive Clark characterization, a sadly put-upon Lex, and it's absolutely laugh out loud funny.
