CLex: Challenges
Right, I placing this on my journal, and I'm gonna put it in my memories and save ALL my CLex plotbunnies here from now on!
* Clark has to teach Lex to Barn/Line Dance!
* Something stupid happens/is said which ends up with Clark and/or Lex being proclaimed 'whipped'. Could either be established relationship, or the catalyst to them taking their friendship to the next level.
* AU - VirginLex! (Well, GayVirgin)
What if Clark had done the gay thing (Smallville's token gay guy) but Lex hadn't?
* What if some meteor-related thing infected the water and made all the residents of Smallville blurt out their innermost feelings/thoughts/desires?
* Lex finds a notebook of Clark's, with variations of his name scrawled all over it.
Gets on the clue bus.
*Clark writes a novel.
Lex presents his own TV show and interviews Clark.
* Small PWP
Lex has to explain to Clark the meaning of the phrase 'phallic symbol'
* Lex teaches Clark to Fence
*Bond over the piano - Clark finds out that Lex plays (after Lana and that witch thing), and thus reveals a secret (not even Chloe, Pete and lana know) - Clark plays too!
His parents had used the piano to teach him to come to terms with his strength
*Swing dancing - I don't know beyond that, but I'd LOVE to read a CLex fic that involved swing dancing - one teaching the other, or maybe ER and they decide to go to a couples class?
* AU. Make Lex a few years younger. Maybe 17 (season 1)
What if Lex had been sent to Smallville to go to Smallville High after being expelled from all the good schools in Metropolis?
Clark and Lex. In school. Together.
* Lex moves back to Metropolis (Clark's Senior Year?) They drift.
Lex writes a bestseller. Technically fictional, but Clark reads it and gets on the clue bus
Vice versa would work to. They drift after Clark leaves 4 college, within a yr of graduating, his first novel comes out - about his friendship with lex.
* Lex is asked to promote a designer - being seen out in his/her clothes, and/or in a fashion show they are having with celeb models
-takes Clark with him when he goes to check out the clothes - gets Clark to try somethin on
Designer sees the two of them in his creations - sheer perfection
Was thinking tuxes/suits? Contrasting colours maybe?
*I've read fics before that say that Clark is invulnerable to the effects of alcohol (or that it takes ALOT to get him drunk)
However, what if Clark was uber susceptible?
What if he decided that the first time he was going to drink, would be with Lex?
And as a result, he revealed things he would otherwise have kept to himself.
* Clark in MU. Lex in Metropolis (technically to accommodate for LexCorp and LuthorCorp - really for Clark)
Still 'just friends'
However, Lex has been abroad for a few months.
Clark goes to pick him up at the airport with an enthusiastic hug
(Envisage pick up and spin).
However, a photojournalist captures the moment, and the next day it's all over the front page 'Luthor JNR and Boy Toy' (or words to that effect)
What to do?
Eventual Clexy happy ending
* Maybe I watch too much 'Friends', but I basically want to see a Clex version of Ross and Rachel.
Lex is getting married (again) - possibly to Helen but could be a future fic with Lex on his 5th wife or something.
Clark is best man.
Vows are spoken.
Lex says 'Clark' instead of Helen (or whoever)!
Clexy happy ending!!
*Was watching QAF2 (British Version). You know that scene were Stuart asks Vince to dance?
I wanna see a Clex version!
I’m kinda envisaging, possibly, a futurefic.
They’re still friends (although few people in Metropolis know), Clark is a reporter; Lex is still working at LuthorCorp and building up LexCorp.
I’m envisaging Lex, he’s been smoozing round the room, but now he’s sitting, all alone. Clark’s heart goes out to him.
A Song comes on - think of something Clexesque.
Clark can’t take it anymore, and walks across the room, and, regardless of the people, the stares, holds out his hand to Lex.
They dance.
Alternatively, it’s Lana’s Wedding Reception. Lex & Martha are out on the terrace talking about Clark’s feelings for Lex (a la Stuart & Vince’s Mum). Lex kisses Martha (to make a point!) Walks back to find Clark sitting alone. Holds out his hand. (Song - Crazy by Patsy Cline)
*Also, the QAF US dance - you know, at Justin’s prom?
Well, CLex ER, but secret - either no one knows, just the Kents, or possibly Chloe to.
Clark asks Lex to prom - he says no, but turns up and the do the Brian/Justin
‘Save the Last Dance for Me’ thing.
*I watched 13 going on 30, and thought - how cool would this be in clex?
(I know it was done at undermistletoe, but not exactly this way!)
ok, not the 13 part, but what if, after some potentially life-altering clexy moment in canon - which goes unfulfilled in clexyness, clark is zipped into his 30's and comes to the realisation that him and lex are no longer friends, and that he could fix it by kissing him at that moment of clex potential!
ok, this mightn't make sense 2 any1 who hasn't seen the movie, but
its still something I wanna see!!!!
* Based on the Will Smith Movie ‘Hitch’
Basically, I totally ended up imagining - what if this was CLex?
Either with Lex as Hitch and Clark as the reporter gal
Or Clark as Albert Brennerman and Lex as the celeb he falls for.
* Inspired by Roxy’s Boys of Summer
it kinda made me think
Its a what if AU - what if Lex had gone to school with all the others in Smallville, and they'd become friends? (assumption that they're all the same age - in classes together)
So, I was thinking...what if, instead of Lex moving to SV and going to school there, what if Clark had gone to school with Lex?
The basics of the plotbunny is that, Jon has passed away, so Martha sells the Farm and moves back to Metropolis with Clark - becomes a PA at her father's firm.
So, either she could send Clark away to Excelsior Prep, or he could be placed in the local school.
Depends when you decide to set it - if its before Lex's mother's death, the local school would make sense - it wasn't until after she passed that Lionel started to send him away (was it?). Also, at the local school could be Chloe!
Whereas Excelsior would have the broody Bruce Wayne.
Either way, Clark and Lex meet, and theres an instant connection. I dunno if Lex could be assigned to show Clark around, or if he meets Clark as a consequence of Chloe/Bruce showing him round, but they become fast friends.
Another vague thought is Clark possibly saving Lex from a bully (reminiscent of the bully he saved Pete from in elementary school).
Vague thought again - what if Martha is not so strict when it comes to power use? She encourages him to shine at school - not to hide his intelligence as he does his other abilities! Also, although she agrees with the no contact sports rule stipulated by her late husband, she sees no problem in participating in a different type of sport: tennis, badminton, squash - fencing. Maybe he could meet and bond with Lex over sports?
*A concept I got after re-reading serafina's Lex Luthor, Ace Reporter and ODing on Lois and Clark
Have Lex and Lois swap places, as in serafina's fic - ie Lex is the tenacious, awardwinning reporter, and Lois is the rich, ruthless businessperson.
Then, take an episode of Lois and Clark and write it from a CLex pov
Either pre-slash, or take the plotline of that episode to create CLexiness.
It could be a Clark & Lex who are still best friends from Smallville, or estranged friends, or AU and never met!
*Just read ‘Angel’ By WD Hawthorne on SSA.
Gave me an idea.
ER Clex, but it’s a total secret. Clark and Lex have a gesture/phrase to say ‘love you’ in front of people.
Alternatively, they both know how the other feels, but have decided to wait until Clark has finished high school, but still have the gesture as a form of reassurance.
