Okay, there are some fics I read just because I go 'x fandom? How would that work.'. It can lead to lousy stories, or ones that make you want to go see/read the original stuff again.

Steering Titus is a Gormanghast fic, based on the book. I don't know how different the miniseries was, but the BBC production was kinda creepy and disconcerting in a really good way.

For SV, I love the Lex in Balance. Clever Lex, scheming Lionel, understanding Martha and sweet Clark. Even Jonothan makes a small appearance. It just really hit the right spot for me, so check it out.

Oh, and while you're there, check out Lenore's other fic That Old Schizophrenic Jealousy which I loved. Clex with a good sense of humour. (It was the Beanie Babies enthusiasts that really cracked me up!)

That para had me cringing - not because it wasn't good, but because the suggestion was so reasonable. I could taste Lex's discomfort.

I'll hopefully have more time for reading later. Am up to my armpits in tech stuff, and it hurts, Mum! :-(

It summed it up so well. Creepy and distasteful thought, but you could see it happening. I must admit that when the Lionel/Lex vibe is about, I vastly prefer the idea of Lex being aware and wary of it, than using it in power games (or being used in power games... all much of a muchness really, it's just that this way Lex isn't quite so emotionally scarred for life).

Aw, poor girl.

I'm currently reading through The Wages of Vice (http://www.geocities.com/jat_sapphire/1nightstands/wov.htm) which is basically a gay Mill'n'Boon historical type romance. So cliched it should be dodgy, but is amusing just like junk TV.
