Recs and Reviews

Divergence by Lanning Cook - This wonderful story is the prequel of sorts to Identical, rec'd below. Here we have plot, and it's an eyebrow-raiser, too. There are also lots of lovely family dynamics to play with. I think Lanning has Martha and Jonathan down pat, just the way they are presented to us in the show. Others may quibble, but that's my take and I'm sticking to it.[1]

Lex is on the run from some goons set on him by his father (for reasons that would be spoiled if I told you) and he takes refuge at Clark's place. It's angsty and dramatic and thoroughly enjoyable. What I liked more than anything was the fact that the characterisation was in depth and believable. Especially Clark and Bo.[2]

c/l. pgish. lionel isn't pleased with lex and decides to do something about it. jonathan is a thoroughly believable asshole.[3]
