norwich36 | Lionel recs: slash recs

Here's another set of Lionel recs, this time slash. (I'm doing Luthorcest recs separately, so this is all the slash recs that aren't Lionel/Lex).

Lionel/Clark stories

Alax's Coercion and its sequel Exaction. Lionel coerces Clark into having sex with him. Clark must agree, to save Lex from being outed as gay and himself being outed as an alien, even though he knows it will destroy his relationship with Lex. And what's worse is that he doesn't entirely hate it.

Alexa Jones, Something he needs. Non-con. Lionel has found the cure for his cancer--and it's not Clark's blood that he needs.

Cleo, Without a touch. Clark needs money, and Lionel has hired him to provide sexual services. This one has an interesting twist at the end.

Dana, Into the Lion's Den. Clark will do anything to get Lionel to stop Lex's marriage to Helen.

Kel, Aftermath. Non-con. Lionel agrees to make Clark's problems with the police go away, for a price.

Kel, Secret Desires. RedK!Clark and Lionel.

Lenore's Seduction. Clark wants Lex, but doesn't think he can have him. And Lionel is very persistent. The fun of this story is seeing how seamlessly Lionel seduces Clark without Clark really understanding what's happening--which is a remarkable bit of storytelling, considering the story is written from Clark's point of view. (There's also a Clex sequel to this, where Lex finds out: The Indestructible Truth.)

Leda, Limitations of Control. Non-con. Lionel thinks he can control Clark by threatening to expose his secret to Lex, and he is successful in sexually manipulating him. But invulnerable aliens have their breaking point.

Nuala, Switch. RedK Clark comes looking for Lex, but decides to make do with Lionel instead. The twist at the end of this makes me laugh out loud every time.

Pearl-O and Jack, As Good as Belongs to Me RedK Clark has fun taunting Lionel. Having a worldly, world-famous billionaire industrialist underneath him is just that much more exhilarating. God. He'd never appreciated how much power he has until yesterday... He kisses gently at the tiny dip in Lionel's throat, draws his tongue around in a circle. Lionel's breath is coming harsher now; Clark can feel him responding.

Velvetglove, The Prize (Clark/Lucas, Clark/Lionel, Clark/Lex, Clark/other). Lucas wants Clark., and Lionel is certainly willing to take advantage of an opportunity. A fortutitously placed RedK sculpture leads to lots of hot sex, but the impact on Clark's relationship with Lex is not a happy one.

Lionel/Jonathan stories
Keelywolfe, The Dorothy Option. A gorgeous exploration of a possible Jonathan/Lionel rela tionship, pre-Martha. Amazingly layered for such a short piece.

Mireille, Deja Vu: Jonathan". There's a reason why Jonathan is suspicious of the Luthors.

Nifra Idril, No Quarter. Lionel seduces Jonathan, after the meteor shower. Afterwards, Jonathan can never forget.

Zahra, Little Fish Long before he meets Martha, Jonathan has a college relationship with Lionel. Lionel is someone big and important and powerful, but sometimes Lionel makes him feel like a big fish in his pond and that's enough for him .

Lionel/Morgan Edge stories
Lillian, Edge. Lionel reacts to Morgan's death.

Nifra Idril, Forge. One of *the* best Lionel character pieces, as far as I'm concerned, and a great look at Lionel and Morgan's relationship, when they were young.
"But do you know what that means?" Lionel asks him, voice rising, hands squeezing his shoulders. Morgan sees the fire blaze red, sees his way out, and nods. "We're getting out," he says, reverently. "We're getting out of this goddamned place." "Yes, yes, we're getting out," Lionel says, impatient, "but that's not it. Morgan...we pulled this off. We can...hell, we can do anything."

Sage, Forever (Morgan/Lionel, Lillian/Lionel). I already recced this under "Luthor family stories," but it also belongs here, because it's one of the most interesting Lionel/Morgan Edge pieces ever written. They were lovers when they were younger, and Morgan doesn't want to let Lionel go.

Lionel/Whitney stories

B'Lane, "Daddy Longlegs," .

I recced this before for smutrecs fest, but really it is one of the best Lionel series, both for characterization and for hot sex, so I must recommend it again. An AU in which Whitney didn't die, but went on to be a pro football star for the Metropolis Sharks. Lionel is drawn to him, starts an affair, and against his own will finds himself becoming emotional involved.

I'm so sorry--I meant to thank you for reccing my story the last time!
Thanks for doing this--some of these I've never read before, and some of them--it's like re-visiting old friends. *G*

You're welcome! I love "Paris." (I assume you're that Roxy?) It's gorgeous--I have a real thing for slave fic/hooker Lex/hooker Clark, and there isn't really enough of it in SV, as far as I'm concerned. And I'm glad you're enjoying the recs.

*boggles*
I didn't know there were so many Lionel stories out there!

Oh, yes. And I'm only doing the good ones. I was initially surprised, too, but for seasons 1-3, especially, Lionel was the primary antagonist in *most* SV stories that had an antagonist. I may even write an essay on trends in his characterization and how that affected story production. The largest number of Lionel stories seem to be (a) late season 1/early season 2 speculation about the Luthor backstory, which is not surprising since we didn't knowa lot, then, and there was lots of room for original ideas and (b) stories written during the period Lionel was blind and hanging around the mansion.

What there don't seem to be, though, are any stories dealing with Lionel's season 4 change of heart, which is too bad, because I'd like to see fanon at least try to paper over some of the worst gaps in canon for s4 Lionel. In fact, there aren't even a lot of "Lionel in prison" stories that I've found, and you would think that Lionel haters would use that scenario as a pretext to torture him, or Lionel lovers use it to explore how he negotiated and survived the experience--but other than Lenore's The Survival Game (http://scribblinlenore.popullus.net/survival_game.html) I can't even think of another good Lionel-in-prison story.

But SV story production has been down dramatically since mid-season 4, and I guess the people currently writing in the fandom just aren't into Lionel.

I think it's partly because in seasons 2 and 3, Lionel was at the height of his powers, and the interest in Luther family dynamics was high. Season 4 lost what made Lionel a great character. And season 5 is occasionally recapturing that, but mostly I'm confused. Is he Jor-El or Lionel? Season 4 let us down by not giving any firm motives for Lionel's behaviour, but making it entirely ambiguous and up to the viewer to decide if he was faking or not.

With seasons 2 or 3, I was a lot surer of Lionel's motives and his place in Lex's life. Most of the time I don't even know what Lex's feelings for his father are any more. Although it is surprising there haven't been any fics on Lionel trying to become part of the Kent family. Some interesting fic could come out of that.

And thanks for the recs!

Oh, I agree with you about Lionel's s4 characterization--I'm just surprised no one has come up with a theory to explain it. I think his ambiguity could be an interesting thing to explore: did he really reform, or was it all always an act?

And you're welcome!

Oh, p.s. your icon is *mesmerizing.* I can't stop watching it!

This bunch of recs is amazing. I devoured so many of the Lionel/Clark ones. Read most of them at least once before, but you can never reread great fictions enough. Thank you so much for your efforts, again!

I'm glad you are enjoying them! I actually found a couple Clark/Lionels I hadn't read before, doing this set of recs, which was a pleasant surprise.

you are such a great ressource norwich, I just linked to your post here over at smallville_storyfinders, because someone was looking for lionel recs :)
thanks a bunch!

You're welcome. I'm glad to see there are other Lionel fans out there.
I don't know smallville_storyfinders --is it a livejournal community, or a mailing list?

its a yahoo list, one of the very few (clex and sv) lists, that are still active *g*

thus my signature for emails:

Mailing lists? People still use mailing lists?

I was on a bunch of SV lists back when the show first aired, before all of fandom completely migrated to livejournal, but it's been ages since I even checked them. (I always read them at the yahoogroups site so my inbox didn't get flooded, and it's probably been 2 years since I even checked in there).

yes, actually people still do that :D
(though you dont have to be afraid, your inbox is getting flooded because its deadly quiet there *g*)

but no wonder, you dont know about the huge accident that I created, when I said on list, that clex fandom is not dead (someone last year on list said *again*, that sv fandom is dead, since there are not many storys posted at SSA, and I finally got fed up, and replied).
some *old school* , who are clinging to the lists, were accusing me of being a "sycophant" when I said, I am having so many great new authors on LJ to read, that I cannot even catch up, and that I said, I like my authors being on LJ.

my statement were followed by 150 emails, even ended in Khohen1 jumped in to defend me, lol... it was the month with the most active posts of the year *g*
