A Real Boy by C J Andre (NC-17)
Direct Link: A Real Boy
Fandom: Smallville

The second of my four recs themed around Clark's alienness is this wonderful coming-of-age story by C J Andre.
Why this must be read: Because it reminds us why so many of us fell in love with the adorably shy, slightly awkward teenaged Clark Kent in the first place.
Like most guys his age, Clark is trying to figure out the whole sex thing, but of course, he's not like other guys his age. So it's all so much more complicated. Between advice from his Earth Dad and glimmerings of wisdom from his Kryptonian father, as well as much-needed help from Lex, he does eventually work it out.
This story is incredibly hot, with one scene in particular that is just searing. It's also funny, but what ultimately makes it stick in the memory is how poignant it is. If the idea of the boy who will one day be Superman struggling with the challenge of growing up alien has ever seemed moving to you, you won't want to miss this story.
