Title: A New Destiny Series
Author: Tenth Muse
Genre(s): Drama, Romance
Summary/Review by: by talitha78: This excellent series has everything I love in a story. It's teeming with plotty goodness-every story throws out exciting twists and turns, and always in the service of the Clex. There's angst, there's romance, there's Lois/Chloe snark, and even Pete is appealing. Lana is a non-issue, and Lionel is absolutely diabolical and a worthy villain. And the writing. Crisp, clean and smoothly-flowing.
Title: BLOOD SPORTS series
Author: kittyfisher
Genre: BDSM, First time, Drama, Hurt-Comfort
Summary/Review: Lots and lots of sexual exploration couched in a relationship that makes this series of would-be pwps into a full-bodied fic series. Hits so many kinks you won't even catch them all on the first read/
Title: Corner of the World Series
Author: serafina20
Summary/Review by: by talitha78: Connected as children, Clark and Lex have always been together. serafina20 writes this series in lovely long installments that one can just sink into, and she always leaves me wanting more.
Title: Games Series
Authors: Orithain and Rina
Genre(s): Humor, Est. relationship
Summary/Review by: by talitha78: This series is a romp. I love the clever use of the games theme throughout, and the tone stays for the most part light and fun. Oh, and there is much hotness to be had here as well. The later stories focus on their domestication, family, and friends, which is a soothing balm for those of us in Rift-denial.

Title: Identical Series
Author: lanning
Summar/Review by ladydey: One of the best slight left of canon series. This set of stories is everything that the rest of Season 3 and the series could have been starting during the Shattered/Asylum arc - Lex on the run from Lionel and his machinations with Clark and the Kents protecting him. It's got everything clones, firepower, wheelbarrows of shame, flying rodents, and crickets with teeth.
Title:Love and Glory
Author: Elrond
Pairing WARNING: Clark, Lex, Whitney
Summary/Review: Love & Glory is a tale of three lovers, partners, and friends, set in an Alternate offshoot of the Smallville Universe. Much of the backstory of Love & Glory was created during the first season, before the show began filling in gaps. Many events from the show are used as sign posts in the story but it does not follow canon. This is also a different vision of the future. So welcome to my vision of Smallville. (summary by Elrond)
