    Summary

    Clark could see the hurt on Lex’s face all too clearly. It was painful to watch him connect the dots. He knew how much Lex hated Superman—and yet he’d still gone along with what they had. Because he loved him too much. The man standing on the other side of the glass cell was clearly distraught, hurt, and so angry. Angry at knowing who Clark was. Pressed against the cold glass, Clark felt his heart bleeding.

    “You lied to me all the time, didn’t you, Clark?” Lex spat out his name like it was poison, scorching him from the inside. “Every. Single. Time.”

    His eyes were so cold.

    “Or should I call you Kal-El? Like the filthy alien you are?”

     

    (AU! where a month before the movie, Clark Kent is sent to interview Lex Luthor. Neither of them expects it to go well—Clark resents the assignment, and Lex has nothing but contempt for anyone connected to Superman. But somehow… it works. Against all odds, they are drawn to each other.)

    Summary

    Rumi looks down. “Your soul,” she whispers mournfully, enraptured by the blue light trickling out of his chest. “It’s beautiful.”

    Jinu smiles.

    Gently, he presses his forehead against hers. Rumi jolts, eyes widening, but to his relief, she doesn’t pull away.

    “My soul,” he echoes softly. “It’s yours, now.”

    Rumi opens her mouth, but no words escape her as she gapes at him. A tear cascades down her cheek.

    “It’s mine to give, and yours to take, if you’ll have me.” His vision is blurring, and so he lets his eyes fall shut, allowing the darkness to encompass him. He forces himself to believe that the lull of sleep is accepted of his own volition.

    His cheeks tingle. Rumi is holding onto his face. “No, no, no—” she grits out. Her voice is growing distant. “Stop. You can’t do this to me.” The words rush out of her in a frenzy, full of haste and distress. “Jinu.”

    “Rumi,” he responds in a broken murmur. “Thank you.”

    She was right. Gwi-Ma could be defeated.

    He should have listened to her.

    (Or: A fix-it/time-travel au where Jinu goes back to the very beginning of the story and sets things right.)

    Summary

    Renoir forced out a slow, even breath so as not to let the rage take over once more.

    Rage that had already consumed him once.

    Rage that he would gladly let consume him again.
