These fics are CLex unless I state otherwise.
[MASTERLIST]The Lazarus Gap by Dolimir
Summary: After Clark runs off on his red kryptonite spree, Lex loses his memory in an accident trying to save someone from his father. He takes a look at his life and decides it isn't that great, so when the opportunity presents itself, he dissappears. Clark finds him, but Lex still doesn't have his memory back and Clark wants anonymity. Lex starts an underground empire. Lionel comes back into the picture. The justice league makes an appearance. Happy ending. NC-17; 236 KB
Why I love it: Plot development.
Crazy plot development. This fic just sucks you in and keeps you reading, right till the end. It's fast paced and interesting and just incredible, really.
Five Things That Never Happened to Lex Luthor by RivkaT
Summary: A set of what if stories. What if after Cassandra had died she'd passed on her abilites to Lex? (like what happened to Cordelia on AtS) What if Clark had been a girl? What if...what if...what if... NC-17; 76 KB
Why I love it: It's just cool. Doesn't it sound cool? It's as cool as it sounds, and very well written.
Dark and Lovely by Alee
Summary: Clark starts to think he might feel more than friendship towards Lex. Meanwhile, Lex is being tormented by really bad dreams. Clark has to save Lex from himself. NC-17; 88 KB
Why I love it: It sounds cliche, but it's quality writing. A good story, very well written. Like all the best cliche fic, it takes an overused idea and makes it feel new. Good characterization, good plot development, good fic.
The Butterfly Effect by The Spike
Summary: Cassandra died when she saw Lex's future. Lex has to know, and what he finds out nearly destroys him. Clark doesn't know if he can save him, but he has to try. R; 64 KB
Why I love it: Again, I love the premise and how it plays out. It's a good story, well told. Truly, I love any fic where Lex ends up fucked-up on the Kent's doorstep.
Things We Cannot Change,
It Ties, and
Best Intentions by
joyfulgirl41Summary: Crossover with
Highlander. Lex is an immortal. Methos finds him and starts to train him in the ways of an immortal. Shades of Methos/Duncan. Lots of protective, jealous Clark. Eventually our two heroes get together. Then in the second fic we get fun when Clark's parents find out. The last deals with some lingering jealousy issues and such. NC-17; 240 KB
Why I love it: Fantastic plot development. Probably the best crossover fic I've ever come across. The idea works really well. The characterization is spot on (for Clark and Lex, anyway -- I'm not much of an authority on
Highlander so I couldn't really tell you how good the characterization is for Duncan or Methos). Great read.
