Chloe/Clark is the pairing of Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan from the Smallville fandom.

Canon

"I want to let you in on a secret, Clark. I'm not who you think I am. In fact, my disguise is so thin, I'm surprised you haven't seen right through me. I'm the girl of your dreams masquerading as your best friend. Sometimes I want to rip off this façade like I did at the Spring Formal, but I can't because you'll get scared and you'll run away again. So I decided that it's better to live with the lie than expose my true feelings. My dad told me there are two types of girls: the ones you grow out of, and the ones you grow into. I really hope I'm the latter. I may not be the one you love today, but I'll let you go for now, hoping one day you'll fly back to me. Because I think you're worth the wait. "[1]

Fandom

Chloe/Clark was one of the first het pairings out of the SV fandom and has stayed fairly popular since.

Ship Wars happened quite frequently, especially with Clark/Lana. Later on with Clark/Lois, Chloe/Jimmy & Chloe/Davis ships.

Differences between the various Clark personalities - Kal-El, Bizarro, Red K!Clark (usually named Kal), Clark Luthor - are used frequently inside the Chlark fandom.

Common Tropes & Themes

  • Alternate Universes that are mainly canon divergence. However other types of AUs often appear as well, usually with influences from the Superman/DC Comics mythology. Futurefics are often used as well.
  • Episode tags and Rewrites are extremely popular.
  • Chlois theory
  • Chloe learning about Clark's powers (and alien status) was a popular theme to fics prior to Season 4 and even throughout the season due to Chloe keeping it a secret that she knew about it.
  • Chloe's Letter - extremely important in the Chlark fandom
    • It alludes several times throughout to Clark's future alter-ego Superman
