FIC: The Three Trials of Segeeth (Smallville)

[scribblinlenore]

Title: The Three Trials of Segeeth
Fandom: Smallville
Pairing: Kal/Lex
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Can love conquer all?

Dedication: This is for catmoran, who waited very patiently, much longer than she should have had to.

Note: This is a sequel to Inaureme, and probably won't make much sense unless you've read that story first. Big thanks to pun who gave me some great insight that made this a much better story.

This is really, really lovely.

It included the elements that made me love Inaureme so much: the Kryptonian mythology and customs; the obvious destiny (and later love) between Kal and Lex; the gorgeous lyrical quality of your writing.

Jor-El's concern was touching, even if his actions were misguided. Lex was at his scarily-focused best, and Kal was sweet and naive, even if I did want to thwap him over the head for agreeing to marry someone else.

The only jarring section for me was the strange mental images I got from Lex doing the ceremonial dance. For some reason I can see him doing strange, jilted little ballet jumps and kicks in my head. It's rather amusing!

I totally missed this feedback while I was away for the holidays, but I wanted to say a belated thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. It was a hard one to write, and so it means a lot to me to hear you liked it.

And yes! I have an image of Lex dancing in my head too and it's...well, comical is an understatement. *g*
