That was so awesome. I love how you wove all of those disparate prompts together. It was very clever and devious of Clark, although so was Lex and martha. *g*
I love the image of Lex at the Kent kitchen speaking about being haunted by pie. Hilarious!
I just made snickerdoodles for my husband this week! Lex sure can pack them away.
God, the thought of Lex panicing in the kitchen and then passed out a "willing victim of a sugar coma." Sooo awesome!
Martha is so smart. She knows just how to get the boys to where they need to be. It takes a brilliant Mother to know when to give the children some space.
I had a lot of fun writing them. Originally, I was going to just use 'pie' however many times I needed to. The disparate prompts were used when I realized how easy some of them were to include (like cookies. pie -> baking -> cookies, woot!)
Snickerdoodles are my absolute favorite cookie ever (just saying.) We make them in various sizes, depending on whether they're for home eating (big and thick) or to be sent as part of a bake sale/cookie tin (smaller so you can squeeze 'more' in). For Lex, I'm thinking he ate a plate of the smaller ones, but, well. Cookie coma.
I'm glad you liked this. The end gave me fits of trouble, but I really liked the overall feel of it. Some of the sections wrote themselves in exactly 100 words. I think my brain is starting to settle into a drabble mode.
What fascinates me here is the notion of Lex and Clark as ... children. They are, of course; or at least to her. I don't know, I can't really qualify why this drew me up a little - but it did.
I am extremely drawn to the idea of Lex being adopted into the Kent family. Not in any official way, but just... having them extend the closeness they have to actually include him (and for more than the last five minutes of an episode, please)...
Too late now, of course, but I think this is really one of the concepts that finally made me start writing. I wanted to 'fix' things in ways that I couldn't find in the stories of other writers.

A fantastic set of drabbles. Well done.
