Happy New Year! I'm Becky, and I'm your driver for the Smallville crack van this month. I have few rules while I'm in charge of the van - I won't be asking you to keep your head and arms inside the vehicle at all times. On the contrary, feel free to squee and flail all you'd like, as long as you have fun! But please, if you read a story that you like, do send feedback to the authors. Thank you! :)

Why this must be read: As summarized by the author: "In which Lex finds a conscience, and Clark helps him overcome it." This is a beautifully constructed first time story. It's early Clex, taking place when Clark is 16. He's innocent, but not naive, and Lex is a bit freaked out by the implications. It's thoughtful, it's believable, and it's oh so very hot. :)

and discovered you were never too young to feel like a dirty old man. Pangs of guilt joined his arousal as a dormant conscience came to life. He hadn't meant to, but he was taking advantage of Clark, watching him like this. He felt badly, as well, that Clark was probably in an agony of embarrassment that could have been avoided.

Lex leaned his forehead on the edge of pool, deep breath in, slowly out. Sometimes he was just criminally thoughtless. There was nothing like putting yourself in a compromising position -- especially with a kid like Clark. Oh, he didn't think the Kents would press charges, if they found out. He'd be lucky if there was enough of him left to identify.
