Lex Appreciation week: poll + recs

So [livejournal.com profile] mskatej has declared it Lex appreciation week, and she's talking about hot and dirty Lex sex here, which reminded me of some recs I wanted to do, all with the theme of "hot, dirty, wrong Lex porn."

But first, a poll.


[Poll #716924]

If I were really good, I would have recs for *all* these scenarios, but I'm going to leave some of them for readers to suggest in comments. But here are

Clex dirty-wrong recs

Lex and Clark are brothers but still in love: [livejournal.com profile] seperis's Looking Glass. I should be fired for not including this in my list of Luthor family stories , since it's pretty much the best Luthor family story ever: Jonathan reacts rather badly to discovering the alien baby, and as a consequence Martha leaves him, marries Lionel, and eventually gets revenge on Jonathan and the rest of the town for the way they treated Clark. Meanwhile, Clark gets to grow up with Lex. I love this story to death; Martha and Clark as Luthors is so, so wonderful.

Kal-El and Alexander take over the world: Well, I already recommended [livejournal.com profile] aelora's "Mirror, Mirror" (currently a WIP, parts one, two and three, which is her Hudsonverse version of this. I'm sure there are more stories like this that I am forgetting.

I also wanted to recommend a story that's somewhat similar in tone to "Kal-el and Alexander take over the world" stories: [livejournal.com profile] roxymissrose's Firebird and the Grey Wolf , which is an amazing AU set in Romanov-era Russia, in which Kirill (Clark) is found and raised by a sadistic master, and eventually given to Alexei (Lex), a Russian military officer. This is a fascinating, disturbing, twisted, and very hot exploration of what Clark and Lex's relationship might have been like if neither of them had ever encountered kindness before they discovered each other. Warning: BDSM and extreme violence.

There are a ton of good Clex slave fics--my current favorite is [livejournal.com profile] hrd02ca's And Desire Shall Fail which I've recced before, but not, I think, since she finished it. What's your favorite?

Non-Clex dirty-wrong recs
I was thinking of non-Clex Lex sex, lately, partly because [livejournal.com profile] acampbell posted a link to a story of hers I don't remember reading before: Shifting Priorities , which is Martha/Lex (and hot like a HOT thing). [livejournal.com profile] acampbell writes some of the best Martha characterization in SV fandom, and this is a really interesting look at Martha's desires. I'm not so sure why the fandom uniformly assumes Martha's only attitude toward Lex would be maternal, given that many of us are around Martha's age, and our feelings toward Lex are certainly not maternal!!!

Another interesting Mex story is [livejournal.com profile] rivkat's A Sort of Walking Miracle , which is futurefic in a big way (like a century in the future), where the Clex never happened, and Martha and Lex are still alive, thanks to meteor intervention. Martha and Lex need each other, but they still have very different perspectives on life, which eventually lead them to conflict.

And as long as I am doing rare (or dirty wrong, as the case may be) Lex pairings, here is a very hot Lex/Jonathan story: Kat Reitz and Tzigane's Wrong , which is a little outtake from their massively long Family Portrait (by the way, another Lex and Clark as brothers who shag story. In this case, Lex ends up getting raised by the Kents).

I'm not going to give a specific Lionel/Lex recommendation, since I have a whole page of Luthorcest recs here .

My favorite Lexana story, which I have recced before, is [livejournal.com profile] rivkat's Tertium Quid . I'm also pretty fond of [livejournal.com profile] mskatej's recent Untitled Lexana porn .

I would like someone to rec me some Chlex I haven't read, because I really love that pairing. I have recced this before, but it is still my favorite for this pairing: [livejournal.com profile] toomuchplor's Carte Blanche . Amazingly hot and angry Chlex, with some Chlexark thrown in for good measure.

There's another Mex fic I really like, where Clark's all disenfranchised and fucking Lucas, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is, I think it's a WIP?

Also? Clark and Lex? So fucking. Even still.

Oh, how could I forget that one? That's [livejournal.com profile] justabi's epic Oedipus Lex (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=justabi&keyword=Oedipus+Lex&filter=all), which has a gazillion parts, even though it hasn't been updated in a while.

The one I completely have forgotten the author and title of is one where Clark gets kidnapped by the government, and Martha has plastic surgery so she can go undercover at his facility to rescue him. She goes to Lex for help, but he only agrees to it if she sleeps with him. I wish I could remember who wrote that one, or the title.

Heh, feel free to BDA me now! Yes, I've totally even made her icons for that! *stupid*!

I posted on [livejournal.com profile] sv_inquiry about this story, because I must read it!

And you already have an answer, if you haven't seen it yet:
