Conflicts of Interest by Pru (PG-13--for language)

Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex (kinda)

Why this must be read:

This is almost on the order of an insta-rec. Pru only finished this story 10 days ago, although it had been posted as a Work-in-Progress on her LJ prior to that. It's a wonderful story, so I'm very glad to be able to rec it this month. The story is quite a technical feat: it sustains over 100 pages of narrative from a child's point of view, and manages to remain faithful to this perspective without slipping into preciousness. The child in question is Conner Clark Luthor, the genetic offspring of Lex Luthor and Clark Kent. Apparently Clark and Lex having a child created from their combined DNA is DC comics canon, which in and of itself is a complete hoot. Conner is a great character, and he has wonderful adventures as he seeks the truth of his origins, and attempts to connect with his elusive "mom." By turns touching and hilarious, "Conflicts of Interest" is a fun and satisfying read.
