Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Author on LJ: thamiris
Author Website: Odysseys and Ecstasy

Why this must be read:

This is a story I read whenever I just need to see something beautiful. (I've taken to letting myself read it once a semester, at finals time; it soothes my tired, broken little soul.)

There's poetry, and mixed messages, funniness, fruit, writing on Clark's naked body, melting sex, and did I mention the poetry like you've never had in your life (unless you're lucky and you have; in which case, don't tell me, 'cause I'd have to hate you blindly)?

Thamiris' story will make you bounce in your seat, sigh happily, and just be at peace with the world thinking how right everything is. (Side note: If the Beat poets are not your thing, be prepared to like them a whole lot more after this one. If you're already a fan, well, you're just going to be giddily glazed throughout.)

Quote:

"Of course I'm frustrated. The guy in the poem wants to know what happens when a strawberry's pushed into a mountain. Can you say, `Splat'? I mean, what kind of question is that?" His own desperation embarrassed him, but he couldn't shut up.

"I think it's a metaphor, Clark."

What a splendid rec! I don't read Smallville at all, but you convinced me to give it a try, and man, was I blown away!

*bounces* I always love hearing things like that. I just adore this story. Let me know if you're ever bored or looking for something specific in the fandom, and I'll see what I can do. :)

*sighs happily* I was so surprised when I saw it hadn't been recced already. And then, thrilled I got to do it. *g*

Thamiris is a goddess! This one is just achingly beautiful, and definitely worth repeated readings. :)

This is my favorite of hers; and I think the story I've read most often in the fandom. *adores her quietly and concurs with you!* Mmm.
