This is what we call bribery. Kassie has the last piece of Contract to beta, but I feel she might be lacking incentive. She said if I wrote Chloe/Lex, she would write me H/D PORN. Hey, she capped the porn bit not me. Anyhoo. She get’s Chloe/Lex – and Chloe/Clark – and a wee bit of Chloe/Pete, and Chloe/Lana. I think y’all get the point.


Sixteen Vestal Virgins
Note: Title and subject inspired by Procol Harum’s ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale’
Note #2 : Inspiration like this never hurt.



There are some things you can’t necessarily tell by looking at someone, like whether or not they’ll be good in bed. Clark has the body, but he may not have the skills, and Pete may have the skills, but he may not know how to use them. Lana, with her soft voice and fragile hands, could turn out to be a dark horse; and Lex, well.

It’s not as though Chloe thinks about this often, but observing her friends hanging out at the Talon, it suddenly pops into her head. For as well as she knows them, she also knows that she can’t really be sure.

She’s almost positive that Clark and Pete are still virgins, but Clark has been acting strange ever since that Jessie chick came to town, and Pete, well, she’d like to think that Pete would tell her, but maybe not. Pete and Clark have been hiding secrets from her recently, she knows they have; so maybe they’ve outgrown those sort of confessional confidences as well. As for Lana, Chloe really can’t be that sure. The only person Chloe can peg for certain is Lex, but he’s not really her ‘friend’.

Point of fact, Chloe isn’t sure what to call Lex, but she doesn’t think that he’s ever been a virgin. Not that she thinks about Lex and sex much. Okay, not that much, but the way he walks and talks, and well, looks, she can’t see him having ever been a virgin. Even his voice sounds like sex. Chloe can’t even imagine Lex being a teenager, or dealing with puberty, or fumbling with a girl’s shirt in a darkened living room.

He’s one up on Ian already.

Of course Chloe’s seen the tabloids, and there are plenty of databases with Lex’s name all over them. On the Metropolis Society website they have pictures from his eighteenth birthday party – the one that the press were allowed to - but even then Lex seemed to be all sex and no virginity. And all these thoughts about Lex and sex are making Chloe’s coffee get cold, while the rest of her is getting warm, but she can always get more – coffee that is.

As she watches Lex over the edge of her mug, Chloe can’t help but think that sex with him wouldn’t be a bad thing. Not that she has anything to compare it too, but based on the smoothness of his head, and the clean lines of his hands in his pockets, Chloe would bet that everything Lex does, he does well. Especially sex. She kind of wants to find out. Of course, thinking about having sex with Lex is just sort of *wrong*, not in a wrong bad way, more in the warm feelings and flushed face and crossed legs way.

She never gets this way when she thinks about having sex with Clark. At least not anymore, but these days she’s not thinking too hard about that, because Clark is obviously a fuckwit who’s good for nothing but messing her around and acting jealous when he never even kissed her. Chloe’s a bit bitter about that, but it doesn’t stop her from thinking about having sex with Clark. She’s not dead from the waist down. Clark may be as thick as two planks, and a worse liar than the Rosenbergs, but he’s still hot.

If Clark tried to climb into her bed, Chloe doesn’t think she would say no. Not that that’s going to happen while Lana is living with her, but it’s a nice idea. Certainly a nice dream, and no one can blame her for dreaming. Once she even had a dream about Pete, but it’s not as though she actually told him about it – that would just be too weird.

She’s not blind though, Chloe knows that Pete is hot, but he’s her friend and maybe that was Clark’s problem with them. The whole friendship-getting-in-the-way-of-something-more mind block. Still, it’s not as though Chloe’s trying to give her virginity away, she’s not planning on being celibate for the rest of her life. Chloe just wants to be on equal footing whenever she finally does ‘the deed,’ and doesn’t that make her sound like her Aunt Caroline, who still thinks nice girls just *don’t?*

At the same time, if Lex is ruled out by the sheer hotness and statutory rape factor, and Clark is ruled out by stupidity, and Chloe likes Pete too much, that doesn’t leave Chloe with a lot of options.

Of course, there’s Lana, but Chloe, well. She can’t honestly say she’s never thought about it; she’s not a prude. Lana is pretty, but Chloe bets that Lana lost her virginity to Whitney. Not that Lana’s ever told her so, but if she were going out with Clark for a year and nothing happened, well, Chloe knows she’d be a bit confused and upset. All the same, what Chloe might be proposing isn’t the same. She doubts that Lana has been with another girl, and that might be nice.

A little experimentation never hurt anyone.

“Is there any particular reason that you’re smiling like the proverbial cat, Ms. Sullivan?” Lex’s voice calls from where he’s talking with Lana and Clark. It interrupts her reverie.

“Wouldn’t you like to know,” she answers with a smile, before taking a moment to actually think about what she’s said. The truth of the matter is that she would like to know. Maybe he would as well. Maybe they all would. If Chloe doesn't want to be the last virgin on earth, maybe now is a good time to explore her options.

Everybody knows how easy I am. Yes, okay, I feel the love. Y’all rock for real. In addition to everybody else being so wicked, [livejournal.com profile] holographis wrote me some lovely birthday h/d, and [livejournal.com profile] fearlessdiva has promised me more ::grins stupidly::

I love Chlex. It is my SV OTP (because obviously I want to be Chloe and I want to fuck Lex. Duh). And I specifically love this Chlex, all of it, down to the Procul Harum inspired title because very few songs are as wondrous as that one. And worrying about being the last virgin alive (ha. ha. No comment.) and thinking about experimenting with Lana and just damn. :D

I think this is the exact same reason why I view this pairing with horror of the highest calibre. This is my first, and hopefully only, foray into this pairing. I'm convinced that 90% of people writing this are Mary-Suing and that makes me feel slightly ill. Not that I don't want to fuck Lex, not dead here, just you know.

Ha, am complete Mary Sue and proud! Well, ok, not so much proud as deeply, deeply ashamed, but a girl has to have some guilty pleasures, you know.

And yes, I saw tree and went "woohoo!" in an excited way.

Woohoo, I say.

Well, It's Z -- I'm there. It's Chlex -- I'm there with fucking bells on. *eg*

Calculated yet not cold, and practical...this is the girl that you just want to nudge so she'll bump into Lex in all the right places. And yes, that makes them into Howard Hawks comedy, but aren't they already?

And the title even goes along with my personal Chlex motto. "Writing Chlex is hard. Like trying to be a Vestal Virgin."

I dunno how y'all do it. I was in danger of running away screaming every five seconds. You know I love Chloe, and you know I love Lex, but together. Well, it's not as though Clark is good enough for either one. But still. I am firm believer that being a superhero is not special dispensation for being a fuckwit.

It takes love, determination and a fair bit of psychosis. And a smidge of the desire for Clark to be screwed over by Lex and Chloe. Or something like that.

And I have a weakness for people that, deep down, have an appreciation for the other. I think Lex and Chloe would actually have that in spades if given any damn scenes together.

But, but, but....mooooooooooooom. You don't really want this, do you? What do you guys see in this pairing - apart from the obvious allure of really hot manips? I was in danger of breaking a sweat every five seconds.

They're perfect for each other! They're both from Metropolis, they both demand answers but don't necessarily give them, they'll both go a little too far trying to get what they want, they're ambitious and far-sighted, and they both plan to be great all by themselves, how fucking fantastic would they be together? Not to mention the fact that they've got that whole intellectual chemistry thing going on, they zing on screen, and... well, hello, you looked at the manips.

Whua.

Not to MENTION the fact that Chloe needs a man who will focus on her and her alone with a near unholy passion... we know Lex has it in him. Conversely, Lex needs someone who will question him and keep him sharp... voila, Chloe!

I failed to mention the fact that when it comes to hetshipping, I'm kinda OTP, didn't I?

What does it mean that I do the Chloe-Sue and the Lex-Sue?

And word to all that Hope said. The snark, the cuteness, that same weird vulnerablity, the snark...oh yeah, and the hotness.

Plus, for some odd reason, it's the only pairing I can write and feel comfortable doing so. :)

Give it up, m'dear, you're hopelessly outnumbered.

We all want more Chlex from you. All of us. (Yes, I am taking it upon myself to speak for the entire fandom. So there. :) No arguments! Just writing!

Just think of the *snark*. You cannot possibly be *that* opposed to putting together two such snarky people. It would be going against God and nature and my wishes, which are too on the same level. :P

So, yes. Write more Chlex, zahra!

You know this is a zillion times better than the other.

she knows they have; so maybe they’ve outgrown those sort of confessional confidences as well.

nice flow, nice idea. No is.

but she doesn’t think that he’s ever been a virgin.

Brilliant! But be careful, someone will now write a fic where Lex was a twin, and in the womb he had incestuous sex with his twin (who tragicly died when Lionel strangled him).

Not that she has anything to compare it too, but based on the smoothness of his head, and the clean lines of his hands in his pockets, Chloe would bet that everything Lex does, he does well. Especially sex.

You are trying to kill me. You're my girl, you know it. I am almost...what is this strange feeling...could it be sappiness? Oh god.

Chloe’s a bit bitter about that, but it doesn’t stop her from thinking about having sex with Clark.

The only thing that *can* stop those thoughts is the Dream. The horrible Clark's my baby daddy dream!

If Clark tried to climb into her bed, Chloe doesn’t think she would say no.

No, what she should say is "could you please not talk at all?"

but if she were going out with Clark for a year and nothing happened, well, Chloe knows she’d be a bit confused and upset.

This could be explained by Clark having to cover one of his newest powers: the Sperm of Doom. Cuts through latex like his eye beams through...well, everything.

The truth of the matter is that she would like to know. Maybe he would as well. Maybe they all would. If Chloe doesn't want to be the last virgin on earth, maybe now is a good time to explore her options.

Bah, you tease!
LEX!
Love it, you paid your debt for the first woobilicious H/D. What do I get next? lol

Mmmmm Chloe. Perfectly characterized, unapologetically teenage girl Chloe. Love it.

I love how realistic this is. I mean, I've done this. ::overidentifies:: Well, maybe not this exactly, but close enough so that I'm like, yes. Right on with fantasizing. Get down with your bad, sexy, bisexual self, Chloe.

This just made me really happy. Yeah. ::nods::

Ok, so you know I am having these issues and I know you have access to all the footage, and if I could lure you...you would watch the back episodes and send me the ones I haven't seen. But first I must start my campaign. Conisder this step two.

I could ask for my more than a month late birthday fic to be Chloe/Lex now. I know you've read het. !!! Don't make me do it. Shame? Ain't got none.

Chloe would bet that everything Lex does, he does well.
that is just taunting me. *pains*
