WIP amnesty

Okay, so you might not want to read this if you have any lingering illusion that I'm anything other than a total mushball, fond of the worst romantic cliches. When I wrote Five Things That Never Happened to Lex Luthor, as the middle story I had Lex rather than Scarecrow Guy put into the non-aging coma and waking up in 2001. He meets Clark and then Greg -- Bugboy from Metamorphosis -- threatens the two of them and gets squashed. I actually had a lot more of this thought out, but there was no way I could write it, especially since I really wanted to skip quickly to hot young Lex in college while Clark is already out in the world making a new name for himself. But I did sketch out my sappy thoughts, and I also have a chunk of the young Lex left over from when I picked an end point.

In my defense --

Oh, there's no point.

Further amnesty

This might have been a fifth thing, if it had worked out. It's not going anywhere, but I really like the bit with the T-shirt, which is why I saved it.
