Will the real supervillain please stand up?
Basically, seaouryou writes Lex exactly how I see him.
It's kind of creepy. And glorious.
Project Perdiccas
Author’s Summary: Follows DCAU canon in as much as Smallville allows. Branches off from Smallville after "Bride".
After "Arctic", Lex creates a clone to run LuthorCorp and lives under an assumed identity with his half-brother Lucas. He then proceeds to stalk Clark.
Why you should read it: This fic features, but is not limited to: clones in bathtubs, Lex’s hat, meta-commentary, Clex, Lionel’s tragic sleep-washing disorder, Seaman, the ghost of Jonathan Kent as a platitude-a-day calendar, Lucy Lane: Ninja in a Half-Skirt, and Lucas Luthor: Eternal Fratboy. It’s like seaouryou peered inside my brain and went, “Oh, you like those things? How about a story featuring ALL of them and other stuff you didn’t even knew you wanted?”
And my Lex Minion self just goes back to read this passage over and over and over again:
No, if you wanted to be good enough for Clark, you had to be a humanitarian -- like Lionel. You had to be selfless and law-abiding, like Lana. Respectful of other people's privacy, like Chloe. You had to never take justice into your own hands and only use your vast resources for altruistic means and have a full head of hair, like that fucking assface Oliver. And you always had to be perfectly honest about everything, just like Clark himself.
*Happy sigh.*
The Not Fake Baby ‘Verse
Author’s Summary: Clark: Psych. It's called a "trapdoor," genius. --Lex (PS Oliver blew the truck up).
AU post-"Requiem". Lex didn't die; the baby wasn't fake.
Why you should read it: Continuing the above conversation (which exists only in my sad, deranged little mind):
seaouryou : Oh, you like Superboy as well? My bad. I’ll add some time-travel, more meta-commentary and the Free Superman campaign to this one to make up for it.
an0ther_dreamer : *Brain’splodes with joy*
Although I must warn you that it is a WIP, and it doesn't look like it’s going to be finished. :’(
You could just stop after And Hitler Was a Crappy Artist Too, if you want closure.
And now I will leave you with this except from Best Office Party Ever, Chapter 37 of Project Perdiccas:
"You killed Lionel!" Clark burst out.
"Dad tragically and accidentally fell to his death. LuthorCorp didn't like to spread it around, but he had a persistent dream where he was a window washer. We'd find him clinging to the outside of the building, sleepwashing, all the time."
"You are so full of it."
Lex rolled his eyes. "If killing Lionel Luthor is the best argument you have that I'm evil, I really think you're grasping at straws, Clark."
It's kind of creepy. And glorious.
