Fandom: Smallville - Pairing: Clex
Rating: NC-17 Size: 12,321

Warnings: none
Spoilers: general SV, set mid-season two

Gifter's Notes: LadyDreamer didn't get a fic for Clexmas! And she's really really awesome and should most definitely have one. :) From her request prompts, I went with the daddy!Lex and rich/poor role reversal... but the characters wanted to do a bit more than the smoopy romance I initially had in mind! ^^; Darn those characters. ;D Much thanks to

sue_dreams and

twinsarein for the beta(s)! (And whom, btw, also wrote fics for it! The Stuff of Legands and Catalyst ^_^)

Re the AU - I'm playing fast and loose with the Smallville world, as well as a bit of DC. Base canon is what we learned in seasons 1-2, not any stuff from later. In this AU, Lex never went to Smallville, and other changes. They'll mostly be obvious as the story goes along. ^^

Summary: Lex Luthor is poor and has a daughter to care for. He can't hold down most jobs, so when a handsome stranger asked him if he'd be willing to bend his morals a bit and work for him, he said yes.
