Yellow Means Slow by Pru (R)

Fandom: Smallville
Pairing: Clark/Lex (Martha POV)
Author on lj: [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock
Website:Glitterati
Why this MUST be read:

Pru is a writer, in what I believe is the true sense of the word. She describes the universal emotions we all feel, but that most of us can't articulate. I hold my breath when I read her stuff because somewhere in all that effortless prose there will suddenly be a paragraph that in a hundred words or so perfectly describes what it is to be a parent, or a child, or in love... you get the picture.

Yellow Means Slow is about grief and the process of loss, with Clark standing in for any of us who have had to watch someone we love leave us behind. Yes, it's a death story, and yes, you're going to cry, but really, this one is worth it.

Go read it, and tell Pru how much she rocks:

Oh man, great rec. I still remember sobbing when I read this one—but oh, you're so right; it's totally worth reading anyway.
