Happy birthday to lunarknightz and myownghost! And many thanks to the folks who've sent me birthday greetings--it's so lovely of you all. Thanks especially to myownghost and bop_radar for the virtual cards and prezzies, and to mskatej, who has continued her tradition of writing obscure Smallville pairings for my birthday--in this case indulging my love of Chloe/Lana.

Actually, her story Seule et Amoureuse is not simply Chlana--it's multiple pairings with Lana (Lana/Jason, Lana/Chloe, Lana/Lex, Lana/Clark, Lana/OMC), because the story itself is an exploration of Lana's characterization and her major relationships on the show through her sexuality. It's an absolutely fantastic piece of work--canon compliant, yet one of the most interesting and nuanced characterizations of Lana I've ever read. Even if you don't particularly *like* Lana, you may like this story; the comments are already full of things like "I would never have read a Lanacentric story if you hadn't written it, Kate, but if this were the Lana I saw on the show, I would like her." Not to mention the fact that this is a Kate story, which means it's AMAZINGLY hot.

Thanks for reccing this fic. I haven't read SV in years but Chlana is still my number 1 ship, though for this one the focus is more on Lana, which is also great cause I am an even bigger Lana fan and most of all, a more dark and IMO realistic Lana. Not everyone can pull her off so perfectly :)

[norwich36.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Wow, that rec is an old one!

[hollywood-r-bin.livejournal.com]

Lol yeah... but i haven't read anything SV since like s5.

[hollywood-r-bin.livejournal.com]

BTW would you mind terribly if i ask you to read my chlana fics? Whenever i post them it seems like most of them go unnoticed... though i think you may have commented on one of my shorter ones before.

Sorry, I didn't get this as a notification for some reason, so I didn't see it as I was cleaning out my inbox. The fact is, it's been years since I actively read any Smallville fic--I've pretty completely transitioned to Supernatural. If I get an itch to read SV again, I'll definitely take a look at your stories.

[hollywood-r-bin.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it's cool hehe, i'm the same way though not Supernatural... i've actually moved on from Supernatural too. I switch fandoms every two months or so now hehe.

I actually planned a Lana/Bela SV/SPN crossover once... too bad i never got round to writing it. Basically Lana knew Bela cause Bela also steals in alien artifacts and not just supernatural ones and she sells stuff to Lex a lot and Lana was with Lex at the time... and Lana and Bela don't like each other (well it was more love/hate) but then we get to the end of season 6 and Lana was trying to get away from Lex and she got Bela to help her get away from Lex and steal money from him... then they run off to China together and then fell for each other, but Bela didn't want Lana to see her get dragged to hell, knowing it'd hurt her, so she disapeared and basically goes off to season 3 of SPN, trying to get out of her deal. Meanwhile Lana goes back to Smallville, season 7.

Unfortunately i never got round to writing it :(
