recsfest day 9

[norwich36]

I am in a mood to be cheered up today, so my Clexrec for today is one of my favorite funny stories:
mahaliem's Secrets, Lies, and Misunderstandings . This piece is a hilarious romp in which Lex misunderstands something he overhears Clark say, and that leads to a cascading series of misunderstandings, confusions, and hijinks that of course end up pushing Lex and Clark together. This is one of my favorite of mahaliem's stories--it always makes me howl with laughter, even after multiple rereadings.

But just in case you're in the mood for something more plotty, let me also recommend my favorite non-humorous story by mahaliem: No More Worlds . Most of you have probably already read this, since it won the a_clexian_tale contest last summer, but it's definitely worth rereading. Lex dies, and five years later Clark still hasn't recovered, though he becomes obsessed with the idea that Dr. Lewis Lawson is really Lex. It's a wonderful reversal of Lex's canonical obsession with Clark, and it keeps you guessing right up to the end.
