Why this must be read:

And now for the fic I didn't pimp yesterday.

This must be read because you want to bawl your eyes out. Come on, you know you do. You want to have your heart broken into a million different pieces and then have each of those pieces cut even smaller with fine shards of glass, and you want to have it done in such a perfect way that you won't even hate Henry Jones, Jr. for it. In fact, you'll probably be kissing her boots for writing the perfect angsty story.

Clark has an interesting power in this fic: he can see ghosts. And as Lex is dead before the beginning of the story, it stands to reason that he can see Lex. But he learns he can also touch Lex, feel Lex, etc., giving us that delicious NC-17 rating.

It's the ending that will really break most people, but I, personally, saw hope in it. I don't want to spoil it by telling you why I saw what I did, but if you want to chat with me about it after you've read it, you're more than welcome to.

The story is here, and be sure to leave Henry Jones, Jr. some feedback!
