SV and nonfiction

[rivkat]

So it seems I'm writing a SV story in which your soulmate's name is written on your skin. Clark/Lex of course. Any suggestions for what should be in it? I have a few ideas, but I seek further inspiration.

Oooh, unreadable Kryptonian script forcing Lex to keep the "name" hidden always, and maybe have a different one tattooed (?) on as camouflage. That might not even work, with Lex's healing thing...

Poor Lex, as a kid this must have made him even more of a freak, especially to his father. He doesn't even know if it really is a name.

The name on Clark might only show under certain circumstances; radiation that mimicks the sun of Krypton, perhaps. Or when Clark is near his soulmate. Or aroused. Or maybe there's no name on Clark at all, or it's on his bones rather than his skin...

I thought about Clark not having one for those reasons, but I think he will ... just one he can't understand.

A long sensual scene involving calligraphy. Calligraphy brushes are so sexy, all those soft bristles.

Or Lex's name written in Kryptonian.

Combine them: Clark gives Lex a language lesson, writing Kryptonian calligraphy on Lex's skin.

ETA: I think this would have to be pre-Rift or post-reconciliation.

I don't have an idea for your story, but I want you to know how very, very much I support you and this endeavor.
