Why this must be read: xparrot. She wrote the SV classic "achilles' heel", and then left SV for FUCKING 5 years!!
Thank god, she came back, and *what* a comeback it was!!! 2007 was SV-clex wise definitely her year, I had a hard time to decide which of her fics to choose, coz well, there is a limit on the rec ;)
But this story. I did not choose because of the plot. Its great, but no, its rather been, the characterization of both, Clark and Lex, they are down to the core who I thought, they were and at the same time, who I wanted them to be. Hence, if the characterization is *that* good, I usually don't even care, if the main character was to die. Coz its still like, consistent :D
Lex's eyes changed. Clark couldn't say how they did, only that something shifted in those colorless recesses, like water moving under ice. "I'm going to die," he said.
Clark barely felt his mother's hand on his shoulder. He could bear the weight of a building falling on him; the insignificant pressure of a human touch was only noticeable if he concentrated.
"There must be something..." Martha began.
"There's five hours," Lex said, not any differently than he had said anything else. "Maybe as many as six. My immune system is compensating better than average, but not enough to make a significant difference."
