Summary
Self-awareness and control were among Lex Luthor's many strong suits, and he knew that allowing himself to sink into obsession yielded great results.
But what he couldn't understand was why his focus was being torn between taking down Superman, an alien threat, and coveting the attention of Clark Kent, a Midwestern journalist.
Or why his fixation on Clark was threatening to consume him whole.

———————
“Hello” the woman’s voice was a strained sing-song, as she looked over to Clark, “Mr Kent, correct? Mr. Luthor would like to speak with you, could you follow me?”
“Ah, yes, of course” - not according to plan but that was fine, it wasn’t like Lex knew his identity or anything… right? …right? Oh shit.
“Mr. Kent, sit down” Lex says, gesturing over to the chair in front of his desk, the man himself sat elegant behind his desk… bright blue eyes shaded over by softly curled lashes as he looked up at Clark through them.
No, stupid thoughts. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Stupid thoughts about stupid pretty- PETTY! Petty Luthor…
“Mr. Luthor…” Clark was cautious.
“Ah, please, call me Lex” he smiled, or more smirked over at him which made Clark sweat…

Summary
After suffering through a few personal troubles in the City of Metropolis, Niah Foxx ventures to live with her grandparents at their homestead within the warm, quaint town that is Smallville. Although instinctively a sweet, warm-hearted woman who frolics in the realm of dreams way too often, whisked away between the pages of books and poetry to escape reality, there presents a cynical point of view towards society as a whole as she struggles to find a place of belonging and people to rely on.
Her reserved nature is quite apparent, as is the wisdom gained in the quietness of solitude and mere observation. And, unbeknownst to her, catches the attentive eye of the young heir of LuthorCorp with an infamous reputation.
It only begs the question: In what way does a dove break loose from the coils of a snake? If it wants to escape at all?
