Hi.  I am twinsarein, your Smallville driver for the month.  I stumbled into the fandom several months ago and have mostly read Clark/Lex stories, so that is where the majority (but not all) of my recs will center.  Beyond the pairing, I don't have any theme for the month; my goal is to rec stories that I believe readers will really enjoy, but that I haven't seen recced before.

I will start the month with:

Fandom:  Smallville
Pairing:  Clark/Lex
Length:  9,318 words
Author on LJ:

Author's Website:  Here

Why this must be read:

Red!Clark stories are a staple of the Smallville fandom, but many tend to be darker and/or filled with drama.  No so with this story.  It is a much more lighthearted look at Clark on Red K.  While maintaining two different personalities for Clark (on Red K and off), the author takes us on a humorous journey through Clarks realization that yes, he might be gay and have feelings for Lex.

Clark stopped outside the mansion gates and stared through them morosely at the purple Corvette. Stupid car. He'd cautiously snuck over to Goss Tomlin's yard last night and, surprise surprise, spotted the remains of a couple of red meteor rocks, ground up into powder and stained purple with some kind of chemicals, ready to go into the paint mixer. Since when had Goss developed any artistic impulses to indulge, Clark wanted to know, bitterly. Now he had to figure out how to explain to Lex that okay, yes, he had been gay for a little while yesterday, but he'd gotten better, really, and any more kissing was strictly off the agenda.
