Summary
Lex Luthor has Superman’s DNA, but can’t seem to produce a viable clone. In a last ditch effort, he injects himself with a serum made from Kryptonian cells to gain Superman’s powers… and accidentally knocks himself up in the process. This wasn’t in his original plan for world domination, in fact it might actually kill him, but he’s fueled by pure hate and alien hormones to make the most of it. On the plus side, he’s finally got a way to get Superman’s attention.
This is entirely inspired by the moment the Fortress of Solitude opens for Lex and I had to stop myself from whispering “he’s pregnant…” in the theater. I have no one to talk to about this.

Summary
Lex doesn't know what he finds more irritating; that his nemesis who he sometimes has casual sex with assumes he has every right to thoroughly interfere with a routine targeted assassination attempt against him, or that he would probably be just as invested if it happened to almost anyone else.

Summary
“So when you cast the spell, all I’ll need to do is pick a memory with Foggy as a starting point?”
“Not quite,” said Stephen. He ran his fingers over the spellbook pages, and took a deep breath. “You’ll need to pick a moment when you were with him right before he died—same day will work. And then, from there, I believe it becomes a bit like the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.”
Murdock frowned. “How so.”
“Well,” said Stephen. “According to the spell, ahem, ‘the most powerful love is blind. It is that which is reciprocated no matter the burdens that may accompany it. The beloved whom is sought must accept the spell subject’s affections despite these burdens presented. And the hero must trust blindly that their beloved does indeed accept them even as they cannot know for certain.”
Murdock’s lip curled up. “Well. Luckily, I am blind,” he said.
