Sunburn by penelope-z (R)

Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Author on LJ: penelope_z
Author Website: Penelope-Z (though her SV fic doesn’t appear to be archived here)
Why this must be read:

If twisted obsession is your kink, this savage little fic ought to appeal. It manages to be both sparely written and lush with haunting imagery, and pretty much blew my mind out the back of my head the first time I read it. Ouch.

This Lex is a counterpart to the Clark-centric rec I’m posting next; both are very dark versions of our boys. Many in the fandom would argue them OOC (less so with this Lex portrait than the Clark). I can’t disagree entirely, though I think ‘AU’ would be more a more apt description. The epic good vs. evil that IS comics canon provides a great deal of leeway, after all.

Lex, as twisted psychotic: Sunburn (8 K)

Dude! You keep on recommending my very favorite stories! We seem to have nearly the same, exact taste in fic therefore you are brilliant and discerning! lol Seriously though, I love that story! It's one of the few SV stories I've read over and over again.

I love this fic. It's so disturbing and beautiful.

And there's never been any question that we are both discriminating and erudite consumers of internet pornage. I'm in esteemed company.
