Why this must be read:
It's not often that you find good fic about Lana in the Smallville fandom, butsupacat does it fabulously. In fact, I feel a bit guilty starting out like that, because this story should be considered amazing all on its own, not just as a "good Lana piece". Set during Season 5, it's incredibly insightful and realistic; as you read you can picture the scenes taking place in your head. It also deals with one of the most fascinating themes in Smallville - the manipulation of the past by the characters, either of their own past or the past of other people. Lana's no different from everyone else in that sense, though her denial of past events might even be more heartbreaking than for some other people.
Their first time, Lana isn't sure why she remembers the ship, the raked earth, its dark bulk digging into the ground. Her fingers skim the cut at the corner of Clark's mouth. Again. And again. He lets her do it. The fire in the hearth warms her and the feel of his skin changes everything. She never doubted him. That's how she's going to remember it.
"I finally know who you are," she says, and Clark's breath catches. He rolls her over and they're moving together. She wraps her arms around his neck and lets him all the way inside.
Talking to Chloe changes it from private to real. Lana waits a day, two days, then lets the words bubble out over a lemonade while they take a break at the site of the new Evans farm. She talks about how happy she is, and how they fit together, and how good it had been to wait for the right person, which maybe is insensitive, but she can't keep the words inside.
"So he told you," says Chloe, smiling in relief, and a shadow falls across the grass hill.
"Told me what?"
"That he loves you," says Chloe, after a second has passed.
