I'm back from a week away, and there's so much fic to catch up on! What a lovely thing to come home to. Fic writers, you are marvelous people, and I hope out there in the real world you all get regularly showered with chocolates.

These days I keep hearing songs that make me think of Clark and Lex. Or else I keep recasting songs to express Clark and Lex. Seriously, can't you picture Lex in S5 looking at Clark and thinking something like this?:

I'm just about glad that we never did that thing that we were going to do.
I'm just about glad that I can look you in the eye, but I can't say the same for you.
And though the passion still flutters and flickers,
It never got into our knickers.
For all of the courage that we never had, I'm just about glad...
'Cause it was all just a stupid creation
of my feverish imagination.
I'm the greatest lover that you never had.
I'm just about glad.
(Elvis Costello)
