smutrecs fest day 27

Penultimate day of smutrecs! And all of today's recs are from one of my favorite SV authors--though you'll have to click to find out who!



All of today's stories are by the multitalented [livejournal.com profile] rivkat. I had a *really* hard time selecting just one favorite story of hers to rec. In fact, I failed miserably at it--that's why she gets a whole day to herself. Disciplining myself *severely*, I managed to narrow it down to my top eight favorite stories --and just doing that was very hard.

In terms of sheer smut value, A life less invulnerable is probably the porniest of [livejournal.com profile] rivkat's stories. Governor Lex Luthor and Superman are secretly dating. They have a very hot tryst at a motel. Unfortunately, some perv wired this motel for sight and sound, something like ten different camera angles in each room, looking for amateur porn, and hit the biggest jackpot since the Zapruder film. Clark's reaction is classic: He was distracted by the fact that every single person on the planet now had access to naked pictures of him. Really naked, X-rated pictures. Okay, maybe there were people in Bhutan and the Kalahari who didn't, but still. But how will Lex react?

[livejournal.com profile] rivkat also wrote one of my favorite RedK!Clark stories, Incarnadine. Clark is exposed to RedK again, and Lex visits at precisely the wrong time. This Clark is uninhibited, passionate, and a little scary. I love the Clex in this, but it also has my favorite scenes of Martha and Lex interacting, ever.

I also really love Hideaway, which is a gorgeous and funny futurefic in which Clark really, really needs a vacation. Even Lex, his mortal enemy, can see that--and decides to help him out, for his own inexplicable reasons. The sex in this *melts my brain* every time--something about Clark getting so turned on he loses control of his strength just *does* it for me. Also, the scooby doo part is hilarious.

But the Clex story of Rivka's I probably reread most often is Skin Deep , in which Clark turns into a girl, and realizes this finally gives him the opportunity to have a relationship with Lex unhampered by secrets and lies. I *love* genderswitch stories, and I think it might have been this story that gave me that kink. This story also has excellent Clark characterization: Clark finally developing his brain along with his other powers. And I love how this story gives you all the pleasures of het romance--seeing how Lex would seduce and court a woman--while still keeping Clark and Lex together.



Today's SV mystery recs are all also [livejournal.com profile] rivkat's, because she's also written some amazing non-Clex smut. Tertium Quid (Lex/Lana, Clark/Lana, implied Lex/Clark) is one of the first stories I ever read that made me like Lana. Lex begins an affair with Lana, but although she wants to keep him, she knows she can't--unless she can offer him a taste of what he *really* wants: Clark. This is an *amazingly* hot story, and trust me, even if you hate Lana you'll like this version of her.

A Sort of Walking Miracle is Martha/Lex--a very rare pairing, but a very compelling one, especially as Rivka writes it. When the spaceship saved Martha from death, it made her basically immortal. Far in the future, after Clark has died, Martha is forced to turn to Lex for help. They develop a relationship, based on their shared experiences, but as always in Rivka's stories, there are complications.

Conjoined Twin (Lex/Lex) is a remix story (the original is also very good and can be found here) in which Lionel has created a clone of Lex--"Joseph." When Joseph goes looking for Lex, there is first mindbending smut, and then (as you might expect) identity confusion, a power struggle, death, and the rewriting of history.



My final rec is another remix by Rivka, this time of a Buffy/Smallville crossover , An Englishman in Smallville (Legal Alien Remix) (Xander/Lex). This is a really fun tale in which Lex encounters the Sunnydale gang, who are trying to save Xander from being permanently transformed into a demon. While Clark and Buffy are doing demon cleanup, Lex and Xander have a steamy encounter.
