I've thought of a way to keep the Morgan/Clark relationship in COTW from being too much like it is in the LLAR universe. I"ve been struggling with how to do it at all. I'm still not sure what to do with Lex. On the one hand, i like the idea of Lionel using Helen to imprision Lex early to try to figure out why he's gotten to healthy; on the other, I like the idea of Helen asking Lex for help in getting away from Lionel, and then their plane crashing as they make their escape. I dion't know if I like the idea of Helen trying to kill him in this universe. It just doesn't make even half the sense that it did on the show, and that's not saying much. They aren't enemies, they aren't lovers, they aren't in love. They're business partners and semi-friends.

Of course, if Lex finds out that Helen's working for his father and tries to ruin her...

But that's not the point. The point is, I wanted to do some kind of affair between Clark and Morgan. It would end a lot differently, of course, since somewhere along the way, Lionel would mention how healthy Lex has gotten and why it's so vital that they study Clark (For Morgan, of course; Clark might contain the cure for AIDs and isn't that more important than playing with a pretty boy? Plus, you know, the whole liver thing, so Lionel's playing off both MOrgan's fears for himself and his concerns for Lionel). But I still want some kind of relationship that can't be explained by just lust between them.

Then, last night, I thought, well, Clark thinks Lex is dead, he's vulnerable, he can't wear that ring for longer than a few days before he overheats, so there will be periods when he's "normal", so...

Why not set him up with someone who will help him through his grief? And he can have a duel affair with someone who's nice and genuinely cares about his well-being *and* a man who will indulge and encourage him to give into his hedonistic side (stealing and crime, not just sex; I think i'll try not to get into too much sex since so many people haev a problem with the relationship).

So I think, *think* that's what I'm goign to do. And I know who the person Clark'll get with will be. And I'm happy. :)

Did I mention I loved last night's episdoe?

Hey, astrea! Are you okay? I posted a comment on your LJ about receiving my Sorority Boys dvd because I don't have your email. Mine is on my LJ info page if you want to email me. *hugs*

I hope it will. I'm still conflicted on what to do with Helen, and i realized that I have to do Clark and Morgan independant of Lionel (until I pick up with Phonix), but I really think that putting Clark in a "good" relationship and an "unhealthy" realtionship at the same time will make things really interesting.

That sounds promising. On the show I always wondered why Helen tried to kill Lex. They've never really explained that to my satisfaction. I suppose money is the easy answer, but it's hard to imagine Helen trying to kill Lex because she wanted to go shopping.

There's an interview with her in the new SV magazine, and the actress said she was really unhappy with her scene with Lionel in the S3 opener. She wanted it to seem like she hated Lionel, but she came off as a money-grubbing whore. I think she was supposed to do it because Lex had betrayed her, etc., but it was just so drastic and stupid that I can't even buy that.

I'm still not sure what to do with Helen. It'll come. I hope.

I *very* much like that idea.

Thank you. :)

Erf, but- but- *blinks cow eyes at you* You're going to do what horribly unspeakable evil things to my boys?!


My opinion: why have Lionel be involved with Morgan at all, when it comes to Clark? Why can't it be Morgan just liking Clark (which is established) and the last part that you said, about helping him through his grief? If you want the Lionel in on the Morgan stuff, stick to the Lex/Dominic/Morgan/Lionel angle.


I like the idea of Helen asking Lex for help in getting away from Lionel, and then their plane crashing as they make their escape

Won't work, because why is Lex flying away with Helen? Lex's resources are in Smallville and he'd just *send* Helen away, not go with her. You'd have to come up with a different reason for him to be on the plane with her.

Even if Lionel has nothing to do with Morgan and Clark (because I did realize that he might not have connected Clark with Lex's healing since the meteors have healed Lex before and now he's living in meteor country, plus Lionel doesn't know where the vial of blood comes from yet), I still think I'd like to put Clark in a "good" relationship and a "bad" relationship. Morgan would be all about indulging in Kal's darker side. He might genuinely like Clark, but he's facinated by what Kal is willing to do and therefore pushes Kal to do more and more. The other person would give Clark a refuge to go to when it gets too much, leading to conflict, etc, between Kal and Clark.

Plus, this way I can explore the question of whether or not Clark could ever be happy with someone besides Lex on the off chance he lives forever and Lex doesn't.

Also, I have to eventually bring Lionel into the whole thing (as per the show) because I *have* to make Morgan choose between his toy (whom he does care about) and his possible salvation when he does find out that Clark's blood is what Lionel is looking for (and Lionel does know that the blood had healing properties by this point). So there are a lot of plot threads to play with.

Lex's resources are in Smallville and he'd just *send* Helen away, not go with her.

Originally, it was goign to be because Lex was buyign out the London office then and transfering Helen. He was going so he could establish positive PR since Lionel never bothered to do so when he'd originally bought it.

But I'm still not sure about the whole Helen/Lex/island thing. That'll come when I get there, I think.

I really like both of these ideas, both the Helen thing and the Morgan thing. Because I just hate Helen from the show, and I would like for the plane crash to be an accident instead of attempted murder. I know if anyone can make me like Helen, you can. After all, you made me like Lana, didn't you now? ;)

And I think the Morgan idea sounds great. I love Morgan. I thought he was cool and sexy on the show (before Rutger Hauer priced himself out of the show) and I think he's even cooler and sexier in your stories.

(before Rutger Hauer priced himself out of the show)

Hey! Let me live with my illusions, man. The "offical" story that I heard was that he wasn't avaliable. Let me keep that becuse then it's all Almiles fault for not waiting for him to be able to do the show and not Hauer's fault for beign stupid.

I really like both of these ideas, both the Helen thing and the Morgan thing.

I defintly think I'll do the Morgan/Clark/other character thing. I want Clark to be in a healthy relationship with someone who's not Lex and an unhealthy one where he's encouraged to use his powers for bad. He and Morgan will still care for each other, but it's not the same as in Metropolis Confidential (I hope).

The Helen thing I'm still not sure of. If she does try to kill Lex, I'd like it to be more for survival and not vengance or spite since she is in the wrong. Or, it still might be an accident. I dont' know; I'll have to get tehre first.
