Future Shock by Carcassi (G)

Hello, folks, 'tis me again. I drove the van for Smallville back in January, and now I'm back again, sharing some of my favorites with all you lovely people out there. I'll try to expand a bit this time, and hopefully bring you more than just Chlark and Chloe-centered fics, though they are still my favorite. And now... let's begin.


Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Chloe/Clark, mentions of Clark/Lana and Lex/Lana
Length: one-shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] carcassi
Author Website: Dream Machine
Why this must be read:
The author calls it crack, but I call it intriguing. In this fic, the Clark of season 1 comes face-to-face with someone he never expected: himself. Or, well, his future self. Upon seeing himself at pretty much his lowest, the younger Clark makes a decision that could very well change his entire future... and who knows? Maybe even cause an alternate universe.

And now...

Clark Kent stared across the moonlit barn loft in openmouthed amazement. There, on his threadbare sofa, sat an older, and—if possible—mopier, version of himself, head in hands. Weirdest of all, instead of jeans and flannel, he wore a suit and tie.

Business Suit Clark didn’t seem to notice him, so hesitantly, Clark cleared his throat. “Excuse me,” he began politely as Business Suit looked up and blinked. “Can you tell me who you are and how I got here? “

If his sudden appearance startled the other Clark, he didn’t show it. There were dark circles under his eyes as he stared back at Clark. “Guess the Legion’s ring did it,” he answered listlessly, as if that explained everything.

“Oh,” he said, still trying to be polite. “So, um, would you mind sending me back? Because Lana’s stuck in a tornado, and I really ought to go save her…..”
