Beyond the rain

Prompt: medea_aries: What if, in Ruat Caelum, when Lex sends the message about being kidnapped by the Justice League, Batman does go ahead and handles it himself?
Warning: character death; otherwise PG.
Clark/Lex.

For the Turn Left meme, jackycomelately said: “In Incarnadine, if Jonathan had been the one to drive Lex home (and hopefully comfort him).” I’m also calling this for “relative values” for bingo, because Lex deserves to be part of somebody’s family. PG in itself, but it’s about the aftermath of Red K exposure; Red K makes Clark horny and Lex has a nonstandard definition of “consent,” so there you are.

Inspired by Doctor Who's "Turn Left:" Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change. Something tiny (e.g. "and then Fay chose silver glitter instead of gold") or big (e.g. "and then Rose was arrested instead of Jack") and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story.

My very first Smallville story, The Presence of Fire, is up at the Audio archive, courtesy of cathexys.

Quotes for my commonplace book:
Und willst du nicht mein Bruder sein, So schlag' ich Dir den Schädel ein. (If you don't want to be my brother, then I'll smash your skull in.)

Torture is ineradicably burned into him, even when no clinically objective traces can be detected." Jean Améry, At the Mind's Limit: Contemplations by a Survivor on Auschwitz and its Realities

Various fannish stuff: J2, SV, fan films, Farscape
I find myself wanting to reread a short J2 Pern AU featuring Jensen’s dragon’s first mating flight that I read a while back—not the big dragonrider AU I found when I asked Google, but a different one more plainly set in Pern. Anybody remember this?
My SV bodyswap story, Switch: A Comedy of Terrors, is now available as a podfic read by pennyplainknits, also zipped. By the way, I love the whole podfic enterprise; I can’t do it myself because I am a creature of the written word (seriously; I am very little fun at parties), but I’m always thrilled if anyone wants to make podfics of my stories. All I’d like is a link when you’re done!
( Books on fan films and on Farscape )

SV: Repent at Leisure 1/3
Summary: To save Lois's life, Clark makes a bargain with Lex. Complications ensue.
Clark/Lex, R for sexual situations and Lex being a big jerk; also (mainly offscreen) violence. If you think things like mating bonds pose issues of consent, then there are definitely issues of consent here, though not exactly mating bonds. Well, Lex in himself is a walking issue of consent, isn't he?
I should probably mention that I'm ignoring much of anything past S5.
Written formahaliem in the livelongnmarry auction. Thanks to Mary Ellen Curtin, geekturnedvamp , Gin, and Moselle Green for beta, especially ME's point about what always happens to Lex in my stories.

Now that I'm writing all this gen, I'm thinking about non-con
Note: of tangential relevance at best to the general warnings discussion. Rather than engaging with the dos/don’ts, I’m talking here about the meaning I give to particular terms, mainly “dub-con” or dubious consent. I’m interested in others’ definitions and usages, but it is unlikely I will stop enjoying dub-con in fanfic and I value having a way to distinguish a dub-con story from a story in which either the character or the author defines what happened as rape.

PG-13 for dirty talk, gen (Note: I am beginning to think that we have made a collective mistake in this whole “gen” idea. What I mean here is: sex is acknowledged, but not recounted, and nobody here is in an active sexual/romantic relationship, even though this is both a clichefic and by me. I know, I know!)
Summary: It’s not exactly a bun in the oven. Set in some halcyon time when angels and apocalypses are not pressing problems.
Prompt: There’s a poll at the end for you to help me decide which cliche bingo prompt I should count for this one.
( Baby, let me sleep on it )

Victory!
It only took six months longer than promised, but I have a rough draft of mahaliem 's SV story for livelongnmarry. 20,000 words, Clark/Lex, forced to marry (sort of). Anyone interested in betaing?
Also, Sarah Connor fans:bop_radar has a fantastic new vid about fighting metal, and whether flesh can do it.

Summary: A little more than kin, and less than kind.
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Let’s just call it Lucifer/Sam/Dean, plus others.
Notes: Beta bygiandujakiss . Also, some of you may spot a premise taken from a far better Smallville story. It was too juicy to give up, sorry.
( It probably says something disturbing about me that the working title of this one was “fixit.” )
