crack_van | The Telling of All This by Tiffany Rawlings (NC-17)

Okay, that last story didn't have any sex in it at all. *pouts* I know, I know. This should make up for that.

Why this must be read:

Sometimes a story is beautifully written with phrases that make you go "wow, I wish I'd said that":

Clark kisses Lex wet and fierce, balancing staggered thrusts of his tongue with one hand on Lex's thigh. He is as cocky as he is desperate, someone who has never had what he's demanding. His fingers close tightly around the back of Lex's neck, mouth hot and hungry. He's trying to swallow Lex whole and Lex can't quite bring himself to care how much Clark doesn't know about what he's doing.

Sometimes it nails the characters in ways that make you go "yes, that's exactly who they are":

Chloe looks down at the camera in her lap, nodding.
"Congratulations on your first big scoop. You must be..." She raises her head, eyes wide and not nearly as frightened as Lex would like. "So excited you could scream," he finishes.

Sometimes it gets the details absurdly perfect:

Lex can see the hundred ways they'll do this overlapped like centuries of frescoes painted on the same wall.

And very, very rarely, it does all of those. Like this one. Wow.
