story recs

It always seems superfluous for me to recommend stories either by [livejournal.com profile] astolat or [livejournal.com profile] rivkat, because they're two of the most talented and amazing writers in Smallville fandom--doesn't everyone just drop everything and read their stories immediately the moment they post something? But a recommendation never hurts. And both of these stories are distinguished by fabulous, snarky Lexes (two for the price of one in astolat's story).

[livejournal.com profile] astolat's Looking Glass Country is pretty much the story of what happens when comicsverse Lex (to me, he reads very much like JLU Lex) switches places with Smallville's Lex. One is a brilliant, yet power-hungry scientist; the other is a future emperor. Can they survive in the other's worlds? And how does the Clark in each universe react?

[livejournal.com profile] rivkat's Useful Arts is a futurefic with a fabulous premise: Lex has invented a synthetic pheremone that will help Clark overcome his sexual compatibility problems with humans. And of course Clark decides to test it first on Lex. But there is also a complicated plot involving Lex's senate race, the disastrous state of the global environment, and Brainiac. So far she's posted 4 parts out of 7, but the story is complete, she's just posting serially.

So what are you waiting for? Go, read, comment.

Ironically, I didn't realize [livejournal.com profile] rivkat's story was going up so thank you!! I've been AFK, more or less, for a couple of weeks so your rec was quite useful. *g*
