serafina20I've posted part 38 of Corner of the World: Boiling Point to the Smallville Slash Archive and Clark/Lex fic. You can find it here.
And, a
"How did your date go last night?"
Clark looked at him for a long moment before answering. "It was okay. I dumped Lana pretty early on, hung out with Jessie the rest of the night. We fooled around in your car. She got me off, I got her off. A good time was had by all." Clark rose and glided over to Lex.
When he got to the bar, Clark planted his feet on either side of Lex's body, so close that Lex could feel his body heat rising off him in waves. He frowned slightly; Clark felt a lot warmer than usual, but before Lex could say anything, Clark's lips were an inch away from Lex's, fingers tracing his cheek and jaw line.
"I had my fingers in new places," Clark breathed into Lex's lips.
Lex shuddered, eyes falling at half mast. He'd forgotten how innately sexual Clark could be when he tried. So much of the time, Clark walked around wrapped in a layer of boyishness that was appealing but not intrinsically sexual. And then, just like that, Clark could transform himself into this being who exuded sex and promise with just the way he stood and looked at you.
Lex's heart began to pound, stomach tightening with the first stirrings of arousal.

You portrayed Clark's frustration with Lex perfectly. Heartbreakingly, but perfectly.
And the boys are back together! Yay!

Since I'm not one of the writers of the show, of course!
Thanks for happy feedback. I needed it this morning. ;)

Date: 2003-05-22 12:19 am (UTC)We talked about it in chat a little about Lex's behaviour and stuff, but I think this really tied everything together. I'm not really sure if I can express how I felt while reading it, but I felt so satisfied, and like all the loose ends were coming together, and it was just a really awesome, well rounded story that contained plants and subleties that not even the episodes themselves do.
An excellent read, I enjoyed it quite a bit, obviously. :)

Date: 2003-05-22 08:40 am (UTC)You know, originally, I wasn't going to have them get back together until about "Redux." I remember way back at the beginning of the season how people were talking about they way Clark and Lex interacted in the first four episodes, compared to the flirty way they were in "Redux." I thought it made most sense to get together then, but that was before I'd really developed what was going on in my mind. The whole Lex-thing sort of took me by surprise; I was frustrated with him, but it wasn't until I was on the third draft of this fic that I realized *what* was bothering me. I'm glad you found it well-rounded and that it tied the loose ends, because that's something I would have been missing had I dragged the separation out forever.
Anyway, that's me rambling. ;) Thanks so much for the feedback

Date: 2003-05-25 04:45 pm (UTC)Soooo...You. Are. A. Goddess! COTW 38 was amazing! I just loved the way everything finally came to a head. It was so time for Lex to get wacked upside the head. lol And the red k being worked in was perfect. But the best part? Despite the red k, you could still see the depth of love Clark has for Lex. Perfect, perfect! More soon?
