dameange, I know it’s your birthday and I tried to write you so SV, but it sucked. Happy Birthday, nevertheless. You are appreciated.1. I have LJ codes if anybody needs some.
2. I’m pondering what to do with this LJ, so if you lot could answer this question for me I'd appreciate it:
[Poll #135357]
3. Edited at 1:06pm
happyminion asked, so I'm putting it here, but I'm not terribly happy with it. Smallville
The Consort
1. ashes of american flags
Lex was not the last son.
Lucas was the last son, which meant that Lex was never going to rule. But Lex has never been that good with the ‘if and then’ school of thought. Lex has always had other plans. If you can’t beat them, join them, or something to that effect. Whatever the case, certainly don’t let the proverbial ‘them’ get away.
Do not, under any circumstances, allow 'them' to take all the credit. Make deals. Make offers. Take what is yours by right of birth.
The world belongs to Lex.
The world is not enough.
This is where Clark comes in.
2. kamera
Lex has always known the truth.
Or he’s always known some semblance of the truth.
He had wanted the words for formality’s sake. But they were never said. They were just assumed in light of the thousands of pictures and millions of deeds. There were vials and dented cars and all sorts of proof. Lex has never actually needed the proof, but he collected it anyway.
Just because he could. Because he can.
Lex does a lot of things just because he can.
The first time Clark’s spectacle-free visage christened the front page of the Daily Planet, Lex bought out every newsstand in a five-block radius.
3. jesus, etc.
It’s the Messiah complex in living, breathing spandex. The color is awful.
The boots and cape are even worse.
Lex lost that argument; he doesn’t lose that many. Truthfully, he didn’t fight this one very hard, because everyone should make concessions every now and then. In the spirit of benevolence.
In the spirit of being seen as obliging.
A true alpha male always makes his wishes someone else’s idea: it could have been all red.
If Clark is the Messiah, then Lex is God.
Lex may stand at the right hand of The Champion, but he’s the one pulling the strings.
Lex is no one’s consort.
4. i am trying to break your heart
It's not simple.
It never will be.
There will never be a happily ever after.
They have accepted this. They've had no choice.
5. poor places
Lex left Smallville one cool August afternoon, several years ago. He packed up his clothing, his personal effects and his staff. He did not say good-bye to anyone. He has not been back since then.
The castle was razed shortly after he left, along with everything that remained.
Clark goes back to Smallville at least twice a month. He never asks Lex to come with him, Lex doesn’t ask.
They don’t talk about personal things.
They don’t talk about a lot of things.
There are some rocks that are better left alone.
6. i’m the man who loves you
It is love. Of a certain kind. Or a certain breed.
They could never be with anyone else.
Of course other people wouldn’t understand this, but then again other people are not Lex and Clark.
Other people are not meant to understand that when the President builds Kryptonite warheads, he does it for the good of The Champion of the People. That he does it for the love of a man he claims to hate.
The proverbial thin line between love and hate is actually very very thin.
It’s non-existent for Clark and Lex.
Without one there is no other.
For them, this is love.

rosenho for once again being a voice of reason.

FYI: I was all about the Bright fic, but he's -- he's being a teenage boy about it.
him: Why are you making me act mushy
me: It's not mushy, you were six!
him: I'm not acting all girlie!
me: when have I ever made you act girlie?!
him: well not you, but some people
me: i'm just trying to pay you some attention, what the hell, stop acting like a girl!
him: see! you just called me a girl
me:oh, for fucks' sake.

All of the above ...
Date: 2003-05-15 01:46 pm (UTC)I love all of your fic, and I know I'll cave some day and read the Everwood stuff, too, although I've never seen a minute of the show. I've started reading the LOTRips, after all, even if I can't remember who these people are. You're one of the writers I'll follow everywhere, so don't go away! Or at least let us follow.

I feel very loved right now, and also I should try a different kind of sinus medicine. i'm seeing that. They make me moody.

I know of some very groovy sushi spots around my way. Maybe *gets stars in eyes* if I ever get a new job, I can get a car, and then we can like meet and have lunch. *gets reality check* I mean once I get out of the pits of Tartarus at any rate.

Date: 2003-05-15 02:39 pm (UTC)As for SV, I don't know. Maybe it's just that I never expected anything much from them. They gave us characters and a world to play with. But in honesty, I prefer watching the tales you guys weave instead.

As for SV, like you I never expected that much just to be entertained. I reckon if i want quality programming I can watch Food Network or the Sundance Channel. I'm not sure why I snapped this week as opposed to any other week. I still love Lex, after all the time I invested in learning him I better (if only my exes had gardnered so much attention), and it's not leaving, just taking a breather.
Anyway, how do you feel about X2? I did some serious damage there last week if you're interested? *winks*
no subject
Date: 2003-05-15 02:46 pm (UTC)Honestly though, do with the journal as you please. If you don't want to write SV (well, *who* would with *that* canon) then don't. Same goes for HP (aww, you're so *good* with that) or LOTR. Whatever you want to do is up to you.
And since I have just seen X2 I'd say more power to that. Loved your fics on that.
Do what feels right to you :)

I feel very loved today. Apparently certain meds and I don't mix, they make me moody. As opposed to the other ones that made me write porn. *Sigh.* Also, Homie! That's what needs to be on boxed set - In Living Color.
