Characters/Pairings: Clex, Clark, Lex, Martha, Jonathon, Nell
Title: Spilled Milk
Characters/Pairings: Lex, Clark, Jonathon, Martha, Nell
Summary: Martha is in tears. Lex is on the case. And that's terrible. (link totally unrelated)
"She ~cried~~," Clark said sadly.
Lex kept his silence as he helped clean the kitchen. There was quiet from the living room, where Jonathon was comforting Martha. Lex knew quite a lot about disappointed parents, though he was used to being the cause. Or a mitigating factor.
This wasn't something he could fix. Or was allowed to fix, according to Clark. Nell winning Best Pie not the end of the world. Even if she'd stolen Martha's sour apple recipe.
Revenge would be a dish best served cold. With a side of ice cream. And the Kents would never have to know.

Title: Bob's Your Uncle
Characters/Pairings: Lex, Clark, Clex
Summary: Lex can't seem to find the limit to the things he'd do for Clark.
"It's a good cause."
"I'll donate the money."
"You'll improve your standing in the community."
"The only people to seem me will probably your friends, and their opinions won't change, Clark."
Clark licks his lips and leans in to whisper. "You and me, wet... sharing a towel... imagine my eyes tracing each drop of water as it glides down your skin."
It's not the same thing ~at all~~, and Lex would tell him that if he could find his voice. Instead, he puts a fifty down and goes bobbing.
After, Clark licks water and apple juice from the corner of his mouth.

Title: Forbidden Fruit
Characters/Pairings: Clex, Clark, Lex
Summary: Some things are worth waiting for.
In May, Clark warned him away from his secrets.
In August, Clark stopped a bus in Lex's view. He didn't explain. Didn't lie.
October, Lex bought bushels of apples, watched Clark lick juice from his fingers. Clark's hands were sticky when they cupped Lex's face. "I can tell you. I ~want~~ to, and-"
Lex silenced him. "That's more than enough." He could smell the apples on Clark's skin, barely resisted tasting them.
"What if it's not?"
"We'll make it enough."
Lex would rather have Clark than his secrets. It was really just a matter of time until he had both anyway.

Title: Biblical Knowledge
Characters/Pairings: Clex, Clark, Lex
Warnings: Misquoting the Bible.
Summary: Clark wants the truth to be known.
"I believed knowledge was the prize. It justified my curiosity. But forbidden fruit is sweet in the gaining and dangerous in the knowing."
Clark tensed. "Is that something I should recognize?"
"An observation."
"You don't... want the apple?"
"Clark, you ~are~~ the apple. There's no other such fruit in all of Eden."
"'Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide in the shadow of my wings.'" Clark stepped closer. "Would it really be so bad, Lex?"
Lex didn't move away as Clark's lips touched lightly on his. "You're temptation to a starving man."
"Then, please. Come feast with me."

Title: In Vino...
Characters/Pairings: Clex, Jonathon/Lex, Martha, Clark, Lex, Jonathon
Warnings: Cross-gen of a sorts.
Summary: Sometimes, even the wine isn't excuse enough.
It's both horrifying and yet strangely transfixing. Apparently, all her men have had a bit too much of the apple wine.
As Martha watches, Jonathon and Lex finally pull apart from each other, her husband looking glassy and Lex smug. He plucks something from his mouth. "See?" He holds up the knotted cherry stem triumphantly.
Clark's, "My turn!" is a tad too eager, Lex's agreement too quick.
Martha's the only one sober enough to put a stop to it, but Clark is too swift. He's plastered on Lex almost instantly . She doesn't think either one of them remembered a cherry.

2. Yay, for a naughty Clark. I'm making him my theme this time around. The few apple drabbles I've managed to do so far all feature a naughty Clark. He's so much fun.
3. Oooo, a confident Lex is soooo sexy! Shiver me timbers...and other things are shivering too. *wink*
4. Um...yum? And not because of the apples. Sexy. Also, cool quotes.
5. Um...eek! Lex & Jonathan...eek! Although, fuuuunnny. And the end bit with Clark and Lex having a turn, but no cherry stem. *snicker*
These were awesome and really made me smile. Except the first one. Nell really has to go down.
OMG! I just followed your link at the top. That's hysterical. I'd love to see the rest of the story it's a part of.
no subject
I'm glad you liked them. I originally wrote the dark fic in the middle of this set, but it, um, didn't quite fit. :D
Nell is going down. She doesn't know it yet, but her future is set. Lex will be subtle (he doesn't want Clark to know).

2. NICE. Bobbing for apples was on my list of ideas; but I could never hope to compete with this.
3. I like this so much:
It was really just a matter of time until he had both anyway.
It's cocky, it's entitled, it's Lex through-and-through. Perfect.
4. "Clark, you ~are~~ the apple."
Oh dear lord, yes.
5. I think Martha is a slash fan. Come on girl, admit it.
Very nice, as always :)

Also, randomly, in a fiction class I took, this gal wrote a fantastic story of baking revenge. No laxatives, sadly. But the avenger was asked to bake a cake for her opposition because the opposition couldn't bake it for herself. The avenger did so, let the enemy claim it, then sat back while everyone tried it and then made disgusted faces.
Sadly, Nell wouldn't be quite that trusting of Martha, I think. (Though I doubt Martha would bake anything less than a perfect cake. /recall.
2) I'd still love to see what you come up with for bobbing for apples.
5) Martha... is Martha. *shifty looks*
no subject
I'll see if anything brilliant comes to me for apple bobbing; but lightning seldom strikes twice :)
no subject
The first one is great... Martha lost the pie contest, oh no! The link is hysterical. ^^
Your summary on two is perfect. Clark knows the perfect way to get Lex. :) In more ways than one!
The third gives me a bit of shivers at the end... I was all prepared to go happy and then went, uh... o.o Nicely done!
(Amusingly enough, the apple isn't actually mentioned in the bible as the forbidden fruit. But it's totally bible fanon.) The boys' dialog is wonderful - so evocative, so rich. I could see them during it.
And, um, yum on the fifth! I take the fifth and so does Martha and Jonathan. ROTFL... :) That one is kindof yummy, and now we'll go away and hide... ;D
no subject
I'm really glad you liked them! I know the third got...shadowy? It's not overly dark, but it's not quite the happy I was aiming for in the beginning.
The fifth one... I loved writing. It amused me greatly. Martha won't let any of the boys ever forget it.
no subject
Smallville needs its darkness as well as the light - that's our balance. :)
For some weird reason, I actually like Lex/Jonathan in a slightly horrified yet fascinated way (much like Martha, I imagine). Your drabble reminded me of this and I had to go searching on
no subject
It doesn't go into detail at all though. I hope you've had good luck in your search.

1) Hehe!! Nell finally kicked martha's butt in something.
2) (love the title!) I'd have paid to watch clark lick Lex clean! *happy sigh*
3) I really like the progression in this one and the natural conclusion that Lex came to at the end. If lex was a more patient man I think that might exactly be how their relationship worked out! Nice one.
4) This line deserves a prize!!!: "Clark, you ~are~~ the apple. There's no other such fruit in all of Eden."
5) OH MY GOODNESS!!! Jon and Lex locking lips! Hot for some oddly strange reason! ( And that would explain a lot about jon wanting to keep clark away from Lex. Jealousy!) AND clark not waiting for a cherry! hehehe Go clark!!
Very nicely done. I enjoyed these!!!
no subject
I love the apple line from #4 myself, so it makes me very happy that it works for you as well.
