Why this must be read:

velvetglove introduced you to Lenore's Smallville fic in October with That Old Schizophrenic Jealousy, a wickedly funny and poignant look at the challenges of living and loving with a secret identity. Seduction shows a more sinister side of Lenore's fantastic range when Clark falls prey to Lionel Luthor's seductive machinations.

This pairing has a rabid, if comparatively small, following in the fandom - every pairing is small in relation to the ubiquitous Clex - especially for those who like a little squick in their fic. Lionel has all the smooth charm of his son, but without any of the love for Clark that tempers Lex's darker impulses. Quite the contrary, in fact. Fics in this genre tend to be coercive (as with Seduction) or fully non-con, both of which are a-okay with me. In my opinion, Seduction is the best of the bunch.
