Title: Heartbeats
Fandom: Smallville/DCU - Characters: Conner, Clark/Lex, Hope, Mercy, Cassie, others
Rating: NC-17 for violence - Words: 17,180
Type: drama, adventure, angst
Warnings: CHARACTER DEATHS! See hidden notes for more details if you need them.
Spoilers: General first few seasons.
Summary: 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."

Notes:
Next in the Not A Villain series after Changes Unfathomed. 11th in the series (12th if you count the prelude). This isn't the end – there's about three more left. (See the Master Post for links and summaries to all stories.) Betas by Sue Dreams and Tainry. Cross-posted to Archive of our Own.

Hidden Warning Notes: (roll mouse over space below to reveal the hidden warning)

Two-thirds of the story is regular things, with family and friend bonding and normal, everyday for them things. The climax doesn't come until late in the story. I tried not to be too extreme on it, but there are a lot of incidental deaths as bombs go off. Of the characters we know and love... Justice dies, but it's quick. Mercy is wounded. Hope is unknown. And Lex... Well, Lex dies. But we all remember what Lex's meteor power is, right? There is angst, as Kon goes through his own wounding while realizing about the others, but then things get better and the story ends on a hopeful note.

Title: Had a Great Fall
Fandom: Smallville - Pairing: Clex. Other main characters: Jonathan, Martha.
Rating: PG - Words: 26,000
Type: drama, romance, adventure, episode-related
Warnings: character deaths (not Clark or Lex)
Spoilers: Tempest S1 finale, Vortex S2
Summary: Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.... After the tornadoes went through Smallville (canon end S1 Tempest), brought down a portion of the Luthor castle, and trapped Jonathan in with a reporter that knows Clark's secrets, lives have been shattered, some irrevocably. For what is left, how then can they come together and be fixed? This story is about the journey to the end of the night... and the beginning of a new day.

Notes: For the 2013 Smallville Big Bang. This was plotted and conceived a long time ago. It’s probably one of my oldest plot bunnies and I've wanted to write it for awhile now, but there were always a few more urgent things to write. Finally, though, it just had to be done. ^^ Beta by Tainry - thank you!

Artwork: The art created for this story - cover and section banners and final portrait - was all done by the very awesome fruitbat00. Thank you so very much for it! It fits the story perfectly. :)

Okay, the Clexmas reveal has gone up so I can post the links to the stories now. :)

For Clexmas I did two stocking stuffers, and one long fic.

The first stocking stuffer goes along with ctbn60's card manips, so you probably want to go look at those first and then see what the boys did after. :)
A Christmas Card for Lex
Clark's Gifts, continued
Lex Strikes Back
Clark's the Best
---
R Ficlet 405 words: Card Effects

---

The other stuffer is kidfic - Clex with Conner.

G Ficlet 775 words: The Pirates and the Sea Dragon

The long fic was written for tasabian and it ended up... long. ;D

Title: Snow Trials
Type: Fic, ~13,000 total
Rating: PG
Warnings: The story has some angst at the beginning and off-screen deaths (nobody we know). (FYI, No matter what Clark thinks at the beginning, this is NOT a major character death fic.)
Summary: After chasing off aliens from an attack on Earth, Clark heads back to the planet to deal with the fall-out. When he goes to find Lex, Clark gets trapped and then they must work together to find a way out.
Request: Clark and Lex forced to work together.
Notes: AU off end season 3, many years later. It, ah, went a bit astray from the prompt, though it kept to the main idea. Mostly. ^^;; Hope you enjoy! (Much beta love to sue_dreams for the ultra-last-minute work!)

( Lover's Choice )

Title: Switching
Pairing: Clex (Lex/Clark) explicit, Chlana (Chloe/Lana) implicit. Some messing around with other combinations of pairings (Lex, Clark, Lana, Chloe, Pete...) but nothing serious (take it all in fun ^^).
Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 15,149
Warnings: underaged sex (16)
Summary: When the gang gets their tarot read for fun... they got more than they expected. To walk in another's shoes is more than a saying in Smallville. "Was that 'knowing' in the Biblical sense?"

Type: drama, adventure, romance, humor
Spoilers: General first few seasons.
Notes: Set mid-Season 3 with judicious ignoring of various canon (no Asylum, etc). For Clexmas Super Scary Sexy 2010 Challenge. Prompts: Body swap, black cat(s), tarot cards.

Title: Get Away
Fandom: Smallville - Pairing: Clex (Lex/Clark)
Rating: R - Size: 8,871
Type: drama, adventure, angst, romance
Warnings: none
Spoilers: general SV
Notes: AU after season 5-6ish, however I mix and match in here, so don't take all of it as canon. In particular, the rift happened but not as Smallville showed it; and they got over it, eventually. This is a post-reconciliation story; one of those hiccups along the way.
For the clexmas Spring Fling. Prompt at end of story (it's a spoiler, sortof). Also posted at Archive of Our Own

Summary: After another adventure gone wrong, Lex decides the best thing he can do for Clark is to leave Clark. Clark, naturally, objects to this.
