Fetish by Jenn (NC-17)

Hiya, I’m taltos_ and I’ll be your driver for March. I’m mostly a Clark/Lex girl, so you’re gonna get a lot of that. I’ve spent a few weeks looking through all the previously rec’d fic trying to make sure I don’t rec something that’s already been to pass. Most of the stuff you’ll see from me is old. There will be some that is pre-rift and some that just refuses to acknowledge the rift all together. There might even be a few AU’s. Maybe I’ll even be able to introduce you to an author or story you haven’t read. So today I’m starting with, at least for me, a classic author in Smallville.

Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Length: 3600 words
Author on LJ: seperis
Author Website: http://seperis.illuminatedtext.com
Why this must be read:

Jenn is probably one of the best writers in Smallville if not the best in fandom period. She’s a must read for every new and old Smallville fan and if you check her site, you might find other fandoms you like as well. She manages to capture a side of Lex that’s vulnerable, a side of him that’s funny. She makes him human, she sometimes takes the Luthor out of the equation and all you’re left with is a guy that has just barely dipped his foot into adulthood, a guy who is still partly a kid, and who just wants to be liked and loved but doesn’t think he deserves any better than the sneers he gets. This is one of those stories. There is humor and Clark being just a wee bit aggressive and Lex being as passive as Lex will ever get. Plus scorching hot sex, which is another of Jenn’s specialties.

"Clark, don't--please, just--" Babbling, babbling, but who could blame him? Woken in the middle of the night, felt up like a two dollar hooker, and half-blown--there should be *laws* against this. Or more specifically, laws against *stopping*. He's running for president. He'll see to that one personally. "Fuck, Clark, don't--"

But Clark's back in fetish land, doing his feel-up routine that's notching Lex's nerves up even tighter, and he's so hard it *hurts*. Big hands smoothing over his thighs, Clark's mouth following like there's an actual trail, and another wet, hot kiss to the inside of his thigh. He's--going to die. It's going to be in all the papers, everywhere. People are going to envy him. Until they found out he died *still* hard.

I've explained why I think this is dub-con. You disagree, that's fine, but please acknowledge hat there is a grey area here. I'm not the only person who's bothered by this.

I'm sorry, I can't acknowledge that. I will acknowledge that it made you uncomfortable, but based on the exact parameters of dubcon, I don't believe there's a grey area. I've been in fandom for over twenty years and I've seen incredible amounts of dubcon, and none of it looks like this fic.

[helen-damnation.livejournal.com]

Dub-con is anything where there is any question about consent. I have a question. It concerns consent. Thus, dub-con.

[prmalscream.livejournal.com]

Yes but the question about consent is between the two individuals in the situation, not from an outsider.

For instance if you saw two people having rough sex, you may feel it's dubious, however, the two people in that situation are simply enjoying their way of having sex. An outsider can't determine consent.

[helen-damnation.livejournal.com]

No. Warnings are for the readers, not the characters. If a fic has rough sex in it, then the warnings should list rough sex. Anyway, some types of dub-con are things that aren't upsetting to the characters, but are to anyone else; for example, mind-control where the victim is forced to forget about it afterwards. The victim is all for it during, and has no objections afterwards because s/he doesn't know there's any to be had, but that ain't right.
