The Pragmatist by Nifra Idril (PG-13)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex

Why this must be read:
I'll end my month of recs on a slightly more hopeful note. In this future fic, Nifra captures some essentially Clark-and-Lex emotions here--that push/pull, caution laced with desire, action with misgivings. This is quintessential angsty Clex love, in which the pleasure is equaled by the pain. The psychodynamic between the two strikes me as fear-based, and lack of trust seems like the biggest barrier to long-term happiness for them.

"I don't trust you," you tell him.
"You probably can't trust me," he says to you, putting a cap on the pen between this thick fingers and setting it aside. "I probably can't trust you. I'm still here, though."
