crack_van driver for Smallville. I've been looking forward to it since I signed up, and I decided that I'd really like to do themed recs.
My first theme is one of the biggies in this fandom, stories that explore Clark's alien nature. I'll been reccing four of them (although there are dozens more I love), starting with my favorite one of all.
Why this must be read: Because it's too beautiful and too sad not to read it. Clark is like humans in pretty much every way when it comes to sex, except that every 200 days he goes into heat. Sounds kinky, huh? Well, it is. But it's also so much more than that. It's a very poignant look at Clark's otherness, the way he struggles with it, the way Lex is the only one who can really understand and make it okay, and the intimacy that knowledge creates between them. It explores what happens when Lex does something Clark can't forgive, that breaks their trust, but the old need is still there, demanding to be satisfied.
Beautifully written, insightful and moving.isagel makes the characters breathe and bleed on the page. It's a story you'll still be thinking about long after you've finished reading it.

It's really cool to be reminded how many great SV stories there are.

I've been away from lj more or less entirely for the last couple of months and only just saw this. It still awes me how much people seem to like this story. *is so very happy because of your kind words*
