This "series" started with a single gift story that was supposed to be complete and whole on its own. And then people demanded to know what happened next. So I wrote a sequel.
The sequel was whole and complete and that was that. Except I'd kind of left it in an angsty place, so I decided to write just one more story to leave it happier. And I did that... but that didn't stop the demands; if anything it increased them.
So I have given in, and this is now an actual series. There are more stories coming, and the plot is large and complex and will take a while to resolve. I do try and keep each story separate on it's own, though, to make sure there's a stopping point before the next. Please enjoy what there is, and be assured, I *am* working on the next one(s).
1.
A Complicated Life : Complete Story, 4,514
When Clark makes a discovery about Conner, honor forces him to tell Lex. Lex comes by to see for himself.
2. Not A Villain : Complete, 11,778
Lex doesn't show up for dinner (big surprise), and Conner and Clark track him down.
3. Particle Steps : Complete, 15,669
Conner, Clark, and Lex take the next steps back to each other. During the travel, they learn more about themselves. Minions help… and enemies interfere.
4. Behind the Masks : Interlude, 3,263
Bruce worries about what Clark and Conner are getting themselves into with this new relationship with Lex, and he does some investigating of his own.
5. Left Alone : Complete, 17,896
When Clark is called away on JL business, Conner rusticates in Smallville, learning a bit more of Clark and Lex's history. However, something from Metropolis follows him there and Conner calls Lex for help.
6. In the Now : Epilog to Left Alone, 5,111
Clark is at home after a harrowing adventure, only to find that life had gone on while he was away, and that he has some things that need fixing, if they can be.
-- Prequel: Clone to Kent, A Process : Prequel, 3,293 (This is before #1 in the series, but don't read it first - it's better off read in this order.)
KN-5 was the strongest of the clones, the most able, the one who could use his powers to kill. It was time for him to go out and fulfill the purpose for which he had been created. His target, though, had other plans for KN-5. For Kon. For both of them.
-- Character Guide: DCU and Smallville in Not A Villain series
A quick overview of some of the characters in this series and what canon parts I'm pulling from where. It's not meant to be a detailed inventory, but rather some notes about them because DCU has all sorts of versions of the characters and so does Smallville. This gives an idea as to what canon I'm using... or if I'm doing my own version.
7. Islands : 1 of 3 stories for this arc of the plot, 8,984
Clark is back from a trip across the Galaxy and there’s something different about him. The reason is more earthly, though, and Diana sets herself to figuring it out.
8. Making Plans : 2nd of the 3 for this arc. 20,523 words (this is why there are three stories for the arc ;p)
Now that Lionel Luthor has been revealed, the League and Lex must make plans... and Conner learns that he has some growing to do.
9. Phased Worlds : 3rd of the 3 for this arc. 10,477 words
Wonder Woman returns to Themyscira, taking Chloe with her. When she finds out that she cannot return, Chloe is not happy.
10. Changes Unfathomed : Complete, 22,432. Technically an interlude, just a... long one.
Life moves on: Conner trains, Clark changes, Lex lets them in… still, the enemy is out there. (Takes place during Phased Worlds, back on the other side.)
11. Heartbeats : Complete, 17,180.
Time is creeping by with no action from Lionel, and Clark and company continue on from where they were, but uneasily. There is family and friend bonding over normal things, and the Clex gets closer. Then, all their fears come true as Lionel finally takes his revenge. "Your father took away my pawn. So... I'll take the knight, rook, bishop, and even his queen. It's a fair price to pay, for my pawn."
12. There will be about 2-3 more in the series. Getting closer...
