This is a short chapter, because the last ended with a cliffhanger.

Title: The Light and the Silence (10/?)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Clex, but there are other pairings, slash, het and...um... other.
Fandom: Smallville, a couple of DC characters, inspired by the Man of Steel Annual #3, an Elseworlds Superman story called "Unforgiven", of which I posted scans here.
Warnings: multiple character deaths
Summary: ( A shadow fell over him, and a moment later, someone crouched low beside him, wrapping an arm like a warm wing around his shoulders, a leathery cape like a blanket of night. )

Well, finally here's the real action starting. I scrapped a whole damn lot of unneccessary stuff and still this chapter is longer than the rest. Also, no, Lady Jan is not a Mary Sue (in case you're wondering.)


Title: The Light and the Silence (9/?)
Rating: NC-17

Genre: AU, science-fiction, action/adventure
Summary: ( Zod raised a black gloved hand on his balcony, and Ursa sat back down in her seat while a hush settled over the audience, and the speaker, vindicated, resumed. )

Title: The Light and the Silence (8/?)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Clex, but there are other pairings, slash, het and...um... other.
Fandom: Smallville, a couple of DC characters, inspired by the Man of Steel Annual #3, an Elseworlds Superman story called "Unforgiven", of which I posted scans here.

Summary: ( The tank lit up. It had a sickly greenish blue color, and in it floated the most hideous creature Kal had ever seen. . )

And now I'm gonna go watch the new Smallville ep.

Smallville S7 premieres next Thursday, right? Somehow I'm not looking forward to it at all, but I guess it comes just in time. A month or two longer, and I might not even tune in again: I have to admit, I'm feeling somewhat unfannish about Smallville lately. I can't bring myself to rewatch any of it, and I'm pretty sure I've read all good SV fics in existence, some of them twice. I'm hardly writing anything, either, and everything I write feels like a rehashing of the same old stuff. Until pretty recently I was determined to cling to this fandom with teeth and claws and ride it out until the bitter end, but if I found inspiration to write in another fandom right now, I'd gladly ride off into the sunset with it.

Well, anyways. Here's another chapter of TLatS, which I'm feeling just as unenthusiastic about. Although there's more porn.

Title: The Light and the Silence (7/?)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Clex, but there are other pairings, slash, het and...um... other.
Fandom: Smallville, a couple of DC characters, inspired by the Man of Steel Annual #3, an Elseworlds Superman story called "Unforgiven", of which I posted scans here.
Genre: AU, science-fiction, action/adventure
Summary: ( Then there was heat, slow, pulsing, aching heat, like the heart of a sun, dying every moment, bursting with power. )

Did I ever mention how hard I find it to write long stories without switching POVs? Here's chapter six, with fewer plot twists but more porn. Yes, I said porn ;)

Title: The Light and the Silence (6/?)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Clex, but there are other pairings, slash, het and...um... other.
Fandom: Smallville, a couple of DC characters, inspired by the Man of Steel Annual #3, an Elseworlds Superman story called "Unforgiven", of which I posted scans here.
Genre: AU, science-fiction, action/adventure
Summary: ( Turning his face, he found Lex watching him with a small frown creasing his forehead and hunger once more darkening his eyes. Kal smiled, pleasure blooming like fever in him. )

This chapter is where my mission to incorporate not only every minor SV character ever, but also tons of Bat-characters, becomes really obvious. And also: finally some answers!

Title: The Light and the Silence (5/?)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Clex, but there are other pairings, slash, het and...um... other.
Fandom: Smallville, a couple of DC characters, inspired by the Man of Steel Annual #3, an Elseworlds Superman story called "Unforgiven", of which I posted scans here.
Genre: AU, science-fiction, action/adventure
Warnings: some violence, minor character deaths
Summary:
( They had no official name for themselves… you could probably call them a conspiracy. Businessmen, high-ranking military, scientists, even royalty, if I'm not mistaken )

I completely forgot I wanted to post this before I left. But now I'm off!

Title: The Light and the Silence (4/?)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Clex, but there are other pairings, slash, het and...um... other.

Genre: AU, science-fiction, action/adventure
Warnings: some violence, minor character deaths
Summary:
( Read more... )

Still no questions are answered. Instead, there's shooting and running.

Title: The Light and the Silence (3/?)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Clex, but there are other pairings, slash, het and...um... other.
Fandom: Smallville, a couple of DC characters, inspired by the Man of Steel Annual #3, an Elseworlds Superman story called "Unforgiven", of which I posted scans here.
Genre: AU, science-fiction, action/adventure
Warnings: some violence, minor character deaths
Summary:
( Colonel Lane looked from her to Batman. He stood there with the deceptive calm of a predator right before it strikes, a hollow hungry look in his single blue eye. 'Yeah, we do,' Lane said slowly )

Here's chapter two, now with added Bat-characters and more Smallville cast. I'm using a lot of minor Smallville characters in this as well as the regulars, for no reason other than it's fun. And like Lost, this chapter answers absolutely none of your questions, but raises a couple of new ones.

Title: The Light and the Silence (1/?)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Clex, but there are other pairings, slash, het and...um... other.
Fandom: Smallville, a couple of DC characters, inspired by the Man of Steel Annual #3, an Elseworlds Superman story called "Unforgiven", of which I posted scans here.
Genre: AU, science-fiction, action/adventure
Warnings: some violence
Summary: ( Seventeen times, Mr El. And each and every single time they've brought him back in. Questioned him. Straightened him out. Punished him. Forgotten him down there – and each time he has escaped again. Director Kerr has personally handled his case for a while now... )

Since I've gotten past the major hurdles (plot, worldbuilding, first few sex scenes, coming up with a fancy title - and 30 000 + words!) I've decided to start posting the first chapter of my new epic. The first nine chapters are already written, but I assume that the story will be about twice as long when it's finished. It's also, incidentally, the response to the AU prompt ladydey gave me:

I know that someone already asked for Star Wars Clex, but I'm thinking: Clark as an Interstellar Bounty Hunter/Retrieval Expert hired by Lionel to rescue/find his wayward son Lex in various space ports.

Other than that, it is strongly inspired by the Man of Steel Annual #3, an Elseworlds Superman story called "Unforgiven", of which I posted scans here.

Title: The Light and the Silence (1/?)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Clex, but there are other pairings, slash, het and...um... other.
Fandom: Smallville, a couple of DC characters
Genre: AU, science-fiction, action/adventure
Warnings: some violence
Summary: ( Alien invasions, space gliders, Martian caves, lunar colonies, laser guns, smugglers, cyborgs, mutants, madmen, secret conspiracies, Overlord!Kal and resistance fighters. There are always resistance fighters. )
