Pick-a-date meme: Favorite moment of Clark and Lex
This is 
tasabian's request: Your favourite screencap and/or moment of Clark & Lex.

I don't have any Smallville screencaps on hand, so I'll settle for a verbal description. As far as I'm concerned, the Smallville Season 3 episode "Shattered" was the pinnacle of Clexy goodness and Lex angst. For those who need a reminder, "Shattered" is the episode where Lionel Luthor pays one of Lex's employees to drug his drinks so that he starts hallucinating, causing everyone around him to doubt his sanity. Eventually, Lionel's goons catch Lex, and they put him in the Belle Reve facility to torture him with electroshock treatments. Before that happens, there is one shining moment when Clark finds poor, delusional Lex in his barn and not only treats him gently, but believes him when he says that someone is out to get him. He defies his own parents and turns his back on them to follow Lex. You will see this moment in many, many Clex vids. I myself used it several times, most notably in "All for Believing".
If I didn't already love "Shattered" for the metric ton of Lex angst fic it generated, I would love it for this moment of love and trust between Clark and Lex--if only it were not so fleeting.
ETA: I found one screencap on an old hard drive. This is from "Stray," I think. Aren't young Clark and Lex adorable?
