Lenore's "Asset Management" and it's sequel, "The Scientific Method," are clever, funny takes on the Alien!Clark stories that fill Smallville's fandom archives. And while some of those stories fall into tiresome cliches, this one...well, it does and doesn't. It does, but is a
good way. Actually, it pokes fun at the cliches, embraces them and generally has fun with them.
"Asset Management" starts out with Clark going to Lex with a 'problem' -- a
big problem. It seems when Lana and he tried to get intimate, it didn't work and Lana ran screaming from the room because Clark has a "size" problem. Namely, he's too big.
And what does any self-respecting
gay man best friend do to help a friend out of his predicament? Lex offers to 'tutor' Clark in the ways of sex so Clark can then sleep with Lana and have "confidence" when they do the deed.
Yeah, right, Lex. If you believe that, I have a bridge I want to sell you in Brooklyn. *g* Clark soon realizes that he doesn't want Lana after all and he and Lex are soon boffing like bunnies.
The first story is about Lex teaching Clark that bigger can be better and the second story is about Clark wanting Lex to f*ck him, but being afraid his asshole will "pulverize" Lex to death. *g*
Lenore handles the comedy and the hot sex with a deft hand and I adore these stories. If you haven't already read them, click away, you won't regret it. If you've read them before, go ahead and read them again. And remember why you loved them the first time around!
