Well buckle up Rupert, cause I've turned pro.

I'm currently frustrated, upset, angry, and fighting back the urge to cry for all of these reasons. So distraction memes! Please, PLEASE, please come and play with me.

Pick a trope from this list and provide a fandom/pairing and I’ll tell you something about the story I’d write for that combination (i.e. write a snippet from the story or write not!fic or tell you the title and summary for the story I would write)

1. road-trip
2. forced to share a bed
3. drunk!fic
4. huddling for warmth
5. pretending to be married/fake!dating
6. jealousy fic
7. amnesia
8. hurt/comfort
9. friends to lovers
10. truth or dare
11. forced proximity fic
12. fluff
13. apocalypse fic
14. curtain fic *
15. High School / College AU


Give me a character and I will tell you...

-How I feel about this character
-All the people I ship romantically with this character
-My non-romantic OTP for this character
-My unpopular opinion about this character
-One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
-Something about them I consider true, even though it's only my head

*I have no idea what curtain fic is, so...if you pick that, you either have to explain to me or IDK expect a literal curtain somehow involved.

(All my current fandoms should be listed on my profile, as well as characters and ships, but feel free to shout out anything you want. If I'm familiar with it, I'll attempt it.)

Also, I owe people comments like crazy (Sunny you especially, I still promise that someday your inbox will be full of comments from me. Enough to drive you crazy.) And I'm sorry. I'm working on it, life just sucks and its getting in the way, and I have issues that don't help. But I love you all. I do.

“I wasn’t lying.” Chloe says as Lex continues to try to move rocks.

She’s thirsty, so very thirsty, and she wonders if they wander the caves enough if they’ll find some water source. They had weird portal things that she was pretty sure literally sent her best friend hurling through space and time (and her into a big painful rock), so water didn’t seem that big of a stretch really.

Lex stops what he’s doing and turns to her.

“I didn’t have anything to do with your safe or what happened, I was just as confused as you were. All I wanted was to make sure Lana was safe.”

“I had already sent Lana out on a chopper.” Lex says turning away.

“Of course you did,” Chloe laughs bitterly.

Lana got sent away in a pretty chopper. Chloe got to dodge meteor rocks in a sports car with a guy having a mental break down.

“Well, whatever, I don’t care. All I know is that the safe was like that when I got there and whatever was missing, if anything actually was, I had nothing to do with it.”

“You always have something to do with it, Chloe.” Lex says, “You’re always partnered with the wrong person, have gotten into something too deep, and you some always end up involved.”

Chloe laughs again, bitter and humor mixed together. “Once upon a time, Lex, that guy I partnered with was you.”

He stopped moving rocks, just stood there for a little while, staring out of the hole he had made. It was slightly larger now, but not big enough to get through.

“You asked me what happened, Lex.” Chloe asks, “I want to know the same thing. Because the guy I remember, he held my hand when Lionel’s verdict was read. He didn’t hold my arms so tightly he left bruises.”


--


Lex went back to moving rocks and Chloe went back to listening for someone coming to rescue them.

The silence became the third person in the room, observing them almost.

They didn’t talk unless necessary.

(Eventually help came, but it wasn’t in the form of Clark.

Chloe hadn't expected it to be, but she thinks Lex did.)

I love this! And it actually proved to me that our mental Chloe link is still intact, albeit a bit rusty, 'cuz I was trying to think of a believable forced proximity for Chloe/Lex myself, and I actually settled for the same timeline and a similar scenario where the portal-thingie has the same effect on both of them, though I was thinking more like it transporting them both to some place else, though them being stuck in the cave together obviously works too, and it's easy to fanwank that in that case the portal rejects none-kryptonian DNA or something like that.
And is it just me or did you have to force yourself to let it come to an end and not keep writing more?
Anyway, I always love it when Chloe and Lex call each other out on their history and past actions/transgressions.
And above all else I love it when they're true to their characters and as close to their onscreen relationship as possible, because I just love the antagonistic nature of their relationship, which is why Lex is my favorite adversary for Chloe. So, yeah, love this and love that they are both 100% themselves/how I see them. :)
I knew you wouldn't disappoint. :D

Yay! I'm so glad that you liked this and that it worked for you even though it was more pre-Chlex or post-Chlex, than Chlex itself. I had it narrowed down to two situations where they were forced together, this was one, and the other was having to do with the trial and a troop of reporters and hiding out. But I kind of love that you had similar thoughts about this scenario. And it is interesting to think that the portal rejects humans because of their DNA. That would have been an interesting twist, especially considering the different times Chloe used it to save Clark's ass.

I didn't have to force myself to stop writing, I had gotten pretty much to where I wanted (though maybe with a little less detail), but I will admit that it does feel like a beginning of something, like there should be more to follow. That in this AU this is just the beginning of the Chloe-Lex storyline. So I wouldn't be opposed if my muse decides to make this either the beginning of a fic or the first in a series of one shots of an AU S5.

Yes! That's something I love too and something that in general didn't happen enough on the show. I love that they are capable of seeing each other who they are, flaws and strengths, and that it makes it so they can call each other out on their crap. And sometimes its in a very toxic, meant to hurt way, and other times its just a quiet kind of truth. And I agree, its one of many reasons that even after they become enemies for all intents and purposes, their scenes still shine, because of it.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. XD
