out_thereThe Telling of All This won me over very quickly with the following lines:
"Bad day," Clark says. He shakes his head. "I hate Jim."
Lex hates Jim. Whatever Jim's done, he hopes Clark will let him fix it. He wants so much to be allowed to fix something for Clark. "Jim who?" he asks, leaning back.
"Oh." Clark smiles through the haze of his bad mood. "No. Phys ed. Class. Gym. I hate gym."
Lex laughs a little, mostly for Clark's benefit and at himself. He's so eager to further complicate things.
Seriously, it just gets so much better from there. It's a very interesting Clark and Lex. I enjoyed this vision of Chloe, too. But, I have to admit I haven't been this intrigued by Clark and Lex in fic for a while. It's good.
