Title
: Primary by velvetglove (NC-17)
Fandom: Smallville
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Categories: angst, future-fic, established relationship (of the break-up/make-up variety)
Length: Long (~25,000 words)
Warnings: n/a

Author on LJ: n/a
Website: n/a

Review:
Three years after Lex and Clark break up, Lex is getting married. Again.

I'm a bit torn about this one, because there are parts where this story drags (especially in the sex scenes in the flashbacks and the flashbacks in general -- honestly, once you know why they broke up the rest of the flashbacks seemed superfluous).

On the other hand, the writing is lyrical, the characterizations are great, the OC (Clark's teenage sister) is just annoying enough to be authentically teenage, and the Clark/Lex dynamic is just skewed enough to feel *right*. Plus, the break-up revelation was fascinating and the real-time story captivating.

In the end, if you give this story a bit of patience (or are willing to skim a bit), you'll find it very rewarding.
