Notes: This is the response to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jakrar's prompt after winning a story from me for the SV Harlequin challenge. Prompt:I'd really like something where Clark, with friends/family egging him on, has been treating Lex like an enemy (making all kinds of hostile and unfounded accusations, trashing Lex's property, etc.), and then there's some kind of trouble (maybe Lionel's doing?), and Lex risks his life to save both himself and Clark, even though he had the chance to leave Clark behind and save only himself. So Clark finally gets a clue, and they talk things out and make peace (and love, naturally). It could be almost any recent season, but no engagement/marriage to Lana (and, please, no Oliver Queen unless he dies horribly and unheroically). Is any of that feasible? Well, this story will certainly have elements of the prompt, although set far in the future.
Though with their high wrongs I am struck to the quick,
Yet with my nobler reason ‘gainst my fury
Do I take part. The rarer action is
In virtue than in vengeance.
Shakespeare, William, The Tempest, Act 5, Scene 1
