Gather round, my fellow Lex-minions, and I will tell you a secret. You know how sometimes, despite how much you desperately ship Clex, you also really hate Clark? Well, there is a solution to that. A solution called Kon. Kon is every good thing Clark is, and should have been, and never was, and much more besides.
This fic melds SV and DCU backstory to present a comics-esque Kon and a new clone of Lex. A new Lex with only memories to the start of SV S1, horrified at all the things he hears about the other Lex Luthor, presented with a new chance at eternal life with Kon, a chance to not go down the same road of enmity and destruction that Clark and Lex took. But first they have to save each other's lives so that they can share them.
This fic made my little heart go pitter-pat all the way. If you love Lex and you love Kon, I definitely think you should give it a try.
(Note that the relationship is not really treated as incestuous by the characters in this story, whether that is a plus or a minus for you.)
