    Summary

    "My company has saved millions of lives. I suppose that’s a fair trade, my life for those.”

    “A human life is priceless and can’t be quantified.”

    Lex looked up at him. Clark stared back, reaching up to push his glasses back up.

    “Yes, well, I appreciate you saying that.”

    When the city's most beloved scientist and philanthropist announces that he’s dying of cancer, Superman steps up to help.

    Neither could have foreseen the side effects.

    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

    “I don’t know what reason I can possibly give Lex to change for the better,” Clark says morosely. “He’s a genius billionaire, there’s nothing he wants other than eliminating Superman.”

    “Sometimes, a little love goes a long way.” Ma smiles.

    Clark returns her smile. There is an idea forming in his head.

    Summary

    What if Clark told Lex his secret after the accident on the bridge?

    What if Lionel was taken out of the game early?

    Would things still fall apart?

    And if they did, could they still, after a while, come back together?

    For those who are old or new to Smallville and crave an AU fix-it to Clark and Lex's arc xx

    Summary

    “I know we only had you scheduled for two hours, but you have one more interview if that’s alright?”

    Clark smiled. Another interview? Sure, if it got him the job.

    “No problem,” he said. “May I ask who with?”

    “Oh, Mr. Luthor just wants to ask you a few things. He’ll be right down.”

    Mr. Luthor?

    ****

    Or, Clark Kent goes undercover at LuthorCorp.
