Sorry dahling - I have a terrible habit of posting huge sprawling comments and then falling asleep. You have to be careful with us Europeans. And you probably only wanted to lure me onto AIM so you could do that voodoo stuff on me anyway.
but I think it's easier to be a non-OTP/LBDer and write a balanced fic because you're not trapping yourself in the fic I agree with you. As an incitement to over-romanticised nonsense, the OTP is unparalleled. Then again, of course, 'trapping yourself in the fic' is fucking fun, and I'll probably always do it to a certain extent. Especially for sex scenes. Then I'm trapped - nay, smushed - right there in the middle.
I'd like to hear your ideas on CLexers though. Go on, break my heart.
He's two-faced in the mythological sense of the term, never sure of where he stands on an issue unless provoked. It's only in passion that he really knows who he is, the rest of the time he's just going with logic and hoping for the best. I think this is a side of him people often like to ignore. His instability on many issues, the slippery grip he has on his temper. I like those things about him. I wonder if his eeeevil path to darkness will require him to get a better rein on it. Lose the fire. Hm.
He's not in love with Clark and isn't really attracted to him. I'm afraid I don't understand your earth logic...
doesn't know how to love unselfishly Who fucking DOES on that show? Textually, he has loved two women. Now I am all over the idea of exploring the mommy-lexy bond, because there's something sick going on there and we all know it, but he did forgive Pamela with no incentive to do so. This is a messy one. Chat! Chat! Chat! I'll bring my rabbit foot to ward off your evil magicks (why the fuck is there a k there?) and we'll argue. Woohoo!
