   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
