hackthis_archiveI’m so sad about Robert Palmer, y’all. Really. I have no idea why this makes me so sad, especially considering his cookie cutter exploitation thing (but I was like seven when his videos came out and they reminded me of my Barbies).
Okay. Sadness over.
I was supposed to go out this weekend, but I think perhaps the guys will go visit Rex instead. Yeah. Also. After a very long vacation, Lex decided to grace me for a moment with his sunburned presence. I think the Robert Palmer thing saddened him too.
Smallville
Return of the Grievous Angel
Life
Insanity is just a state of mind and going crazy has made several things very clear to Lex. One, he’s not that crazy, he’s just angry. Two, Lex should stop trying to make pets of the fish he catches, because the water keeps evaporating in the holes he digs in the sand, and the fish dry out. The smell is somewhere between rancid garbage and vomit. Lex has thrown up several times since he’s arrived on his little island paradise so he should know. The parasites in the fish don’t agree with him. Of course a lot of things haven't agreed with Lex, which is obviously why he's stuck on this fucking island.
But that's neither here nor there. Much like Lex.
He names the fishes Clark. So far he’s on Clark the Thirteenth.
Death
Hope is not for the insane, and Lex is not waiting for Clark, because Clark (the Fourteenth) is currently flapping next to Lex on the sand.
Clark will save Lex when Lex eats him raw for dinner in about an hour.
There are blisters on the inside of Lex’s mouth, and his lips are so cracked he can’t even talk. That doesn’t stop him from telling an island full of insects and lizards what his plans are. Lex is the All-consuming Avenger, and the world is his fish. He will chew up the world and spit it out.
There will only be bones left.
Rebirth
Lex is almost dead when the Coast Guard finds him, however, “almost dead” is not the same as completely dead. Death is just a place Lex has to visit before he can get to Vengeance, and none of this affects Lex’s sanity. For an insane man, Lex is very meticulous; after all, he’s a Luthor. He offers the Captain his weight in unmarked bills not to take him home.
The Captain is a big man who reads the papers from home. He has his boys drop Lex at a small costal village.
Lex doesn’t have friends in Mexico, but he has access to a pay phone, and Toby has yet not to accept one of his calls. Collect or otherwise.
Revenge: Mark I
Lex’s father has always been about sweeping gestures: taking away the caves, sending him to Smallville, trying to kill him. Lex prefers the simple approach: a cut brake-line to car and a horrible accident for the elder Luthor and his chauffeur. The Casualty of War is unfortunate: Lex liked Marcus. Some losses are a given though, and now there will be no more fencing matches with Father Dear. The only thing more unfortunate is that during the surgery to save Lionel’s life, by some freak accident his vocal cords are cut.
When his only son returns home, he can’t hug him, let alone lie about how Lex was missed.
Revenge: Mark II
The tabloids never picked up the story, and apart from several executives, a few deckhands, and the cabin-boy, no one really noticed; but perhaps the only thing more unfortunate than the effective castration of Lionel Luthor was the *official* death of Mrs. Helen Bryce-Luthor on a cruise ship off the coast of Tahiti later that fall.
The ship’s captain, naturally, was beside himself that he might lose his job, but was assured otherwise. He very much didn’t want to return to South Africa and the death of a passenger by a spider native to his homeland probably should have raised several questions. But it didn't. However, Button spiders are found only in South Africa, and their bite brings about several hours of chest pains and heart palpitations; so how no one discovered Mrs. Bryce’s suffering was strange.
Helen had horrible arachnophobia.
The Afterlife
Of all the places Lex would ever expect to find Clark Kent in Metropolis, at a back room bar off of Fifth Street might seriously qualify as one of the last. If Lex were a little bit more sane he might worry, but Lex has issues of his own. For starters, he’s had fish bones stuck in the back of his throat for who knows how long. Furthermore, Lex hasn’t seen Clark since he pulled a no-show at Lex’s last wedding, so he figures that *someone* owes *someone else* an explanation. The words roll off of Lex’s tongue with ease: confession never felt so good, especially since he's never confessed before.
Therapists and dead wives don't count.
Lex doesn’t blink at the red ring on Clark’s finger. He doesn’t even flinch when Clark buys him a drink. If there’s something wrong with this picture, Lex can’t see it. In another lifetime he might’ve tried to figure out what the hell is going on, but that Lex is dead, and the new Lex has a bone to pick with the person who didn’t save him from himself.
When Clark says saving Lex isn’t his job anymore, Lex doesn’t know what to say.
He feels like an angel that’s fallen to earth, but if he's going down, he's taking Clark with him.
-end-
Notes: This started off as a drabble exercise, but Lex refused to be contained. Fucking typical bullshit. Obvious Princess Bride reference; I know it’s not mine. Also, random U2 lyric in there.
Also, I have no S3 icons, who do I have to talk to to be down?

Date: 2003-09-26 01:17 pm (UTC)*weeps* It's the second day with the goddamn fish! I used to have fish, but they died. Also, when I was wee my mum used to have a wicked aquarium. I loved looking at it. I like aquariums. Maybe I had some merman issues in another life?

Date: 2003-09-26 02:19 pm (UTC)don't you feel old? everyone it seems is dying right and left.
i love lex. that is all.
i would make you more icons, but you never use any of mine. you don't like me! *sniffs*

Date: 2003-09-26 04:53 pm (UTC)I will just pretend like you didn't say that, and wait patiently for those nice Lex icons. *sits waiting for text on Gayle's lack of chaste thoughts*
And I don't know what you're talking about with that old shit. I'm a spring chicken... using Keith Richard's liver. Yeah, okay.

Date: 2003-09-26 02:28 pm (UTC)I haven't read it yet, but I had to come in and say that first. I also need to read your newest O.C. fic.
But first--kickass title!

Date: 2003-09-26 05:32 pm (UTC)You did more crazy-island!Lex!!!! I wondered if you'd get one more in before the premiere. Yay!
See, this is fabulous. Loved the spider bit, because it was horrifying on a personal level (yes, I have a huge phobia of the critters myself *shudder*), which is just what I needed to connect to a gleeful feeling of vengence.
You know *my* theory. Kill them *all*, baby.
*bounce*
From reading this, I'm assuming you've finally watched all the promos?? You're ready for S3 now? You've seen clubalicious Clark?? Damn. I'd love for Lex to get a piece of that. And you're letting him! Yay!!
Okay, so obviously I've missed your crazy Lex. Thanks for bringing him out one more time!

Date: 2003-09-27 03:12 pm (UTC)I've seen all three promos, and they keep running the promo for the SV DVD, it's all very amusing. Maybe that's just the alcohol. Hmmm. Lex getting a piece of clubbing Clark, now *that* I wouldn't mind, I may have to see about that. My other boys are too young to do anything beyond make out, somebody has to get laid.
Okay, so obviously I've missed your crazy Lex. Thanks for bringing him out one more time!
This was the prerequisite for me letting Lex off the island. I know he's bitter with me, but it was for his own good. He needed the vacation.
