A Mad Season

A Mad Season by Dolimir: http://smallville.slashdom.com/archive/31/amad.html. Still Smallville, still Lex/Clark (of course! although there are hints of Lex/Bruce Wayne)--hmm, I think I'm going to be in this Smallville phase for awhile... This story is an AU that gives a different explanation of what happens after "Shattered." Sometime in the future, when Lex has become an accomplished corporate raider for his father (albeit one that operates completely legally), he meets Kal (Superman) in a park late one night. This simple meeting leads to terrible revelations for Lex about his life and his father. Wonderful interaction between Lex and Bruce when they're teenagers and, later, between Lex and Clark. You just want to give Lex a big hug and protect him from the evil that keeps trying to devour him.
