Convergence by Rushlight (R)

The next two weeks are going to be all about the Clex. I'm a Clex girl - I admit it. It's why I started watching the show in the first place, and I proudly wear my "Clex Appeal" t-shirt. With S5 approaching and the days of blatant Clex virtually gone from the show, it's nice to settle in with some good fic that brings the relationship back into focus.

Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rushlight75
Author Website: The Bard's Den
Why this must be read: This is an amazing AU that spins convincingly out of canon - and out of control. Dr. Hamilton's experiments with the meteor rock have gone awry and the results are ... unexpected and devastating. Three different universes are becoming intersected - with three very different sets of Clarks and Lexes. The author manages to make the story not only believable, but she makes you feel for each set of characters and what they're facing. The story naturally gets complicated with different characters interacting in different timelines, but the author has constructed such clearly identifiable versions of the characters that there's no confusion for the reader. It's wonderfully written and expertly executed with a combination of angst and humour that will make you want to return to it again and again. I know I do.


"Sorry," Clark said with a small smile that seemed disturbingly intimate to Lex. "Didn't mean to doze off like that. I think you wore me out last night."

Lex took a slow step backward, feeling his mouth go dry. This had to be another phenomenon of Hamilton's experiment -- only like Hamilton had said, the effects of it were spreading. Clark... from an alternate reality? A parallel reality?

Waiting for him in his bed?

The not-Clark continued to look at him, only now a puzzled line was beginning to form between his brows. "Is everything all right, Lex? How are things out at Cadmus?"

The question made Lex stiffen involuntarily. This Clark apparently knew about Cadmus, too. Maybe he was the one who'd called him on the phone that morning? Did he even realize that he wasn't where he was supposed to be? Or.... Lex looked around with a growing sense of horror. Or was he the one who wasn't where he was supposed to be?


Read the story and don't forget to feedback the author: Convergence
