recsfest day 7
Our Clex author for today is ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
teot. I was completely torn in deciding which story of teot's to recommend, so in the end I decided to just recommend two.
The premise of Sleep's Underside is that Clark and Lex both have insomnia, and can only sleep in each other's presence. I love how this story manages to keep Clark and Lex consistent with their season 5 characterizations and yet still capture some of the sweet, dreamy tone of early Clex, as they reluctantly find comfort in being close to each other. I am really appreciative of authors that can find Clex in the later seasons, and teot does a masterful job here. Oh, and the sex is unbelievably HOT, and it has a hopeful ending, which many stories set in the later seasons do not.
I am also completely in love with Good Samaritan, an AU in which Clark is a young reporter for the Daily Planet investigating a series of serial killings of prostitutes, and encounters hooker!Lex. Clark wants to save him, but Lex very definitely does not want to be saved. I absolutely adore Lex as a cynical prostitute (and the plot twist is really interesting), and the story also features shy, practically-virginal Clark, which is another of my favorite tropes.
