Why this must be read:

This is the most anachronistic post ever, as it's a Thanksgiving story that I'm posting a rec for in December. But it's one of my favorites ever. It's schmoopy and cute and filled with lots of awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Surely most people in the Smallville fandom have heard of Aelora's Girl!Clark AU starring Alessandra Ambrosio as Hudson Clark Kent in a universe that answers the question, What if the Kryptonianette sent to Earth had been a girl?

When this universe was recced to me, my first thought wasn't Clark is a girl? but rather, Lex is straight??? What? Who? *confused* But Aelora makes it work. Her Lex is easily one of the best written in Smallville fanfic. She manages to get into his head so perfectly that you'd think you're actually watching a good ep of SV.

...Where Clark just happens to be a girl. And that's another thing. Hudson isn't an OC. She is Clark Kent as a girl. She has all the asshat moments Clark does and all the heroic moments Clark does and she even has an itty bitty crush on Lana. Talk about realism.

Additionally, okay. I'm an unapologetic slash fan. Some het can be considered acceptable to me, but for the most part? Clark/Lex, OTP. But this sex is HOT. And not just the sex, but all the UST that comes before. Aelora has a talent for the pornographic written word which cannot be denied, when even her innocuous "innocent" scenes are absolute chair sliders.

Now, as for this story specifically, it's future fic, G-rated, Hudson and Lex with kids visiting the Kent farm during Thanksgiving. Read it for the cuteness factor and then read the rest of the universe for the beauty.

Tom (no, not Welling) is here. And be sure to leave
