Okay so we’re watching Young Justice and I’m liking it quite a lot. Everything I know about DC comes from Smallville, I’m not making this up, am I? Superboy is the son of Lex Luthor and Superman?
Yes, Superboy has two daddies. A setup not explored nearly enough.
TELL ME WHY THIS ISN’T AN AU
we have all this superhusbands shit with cap and tony but not enough super ex-husbands with lex and superman
Maybe because there wasn’t anybody pretty that’s played Lex? Or Superman is seen as boring?
Man, I don’t even know. It would take some skill but it would be the best thing ever and I’m sorry Young Justice never got to explore that.
this is getting reblogged again and that’s cool but I just had to pipe in here in response to that “Lex Luthor isn’t pretty” statement um
excuse you
Also like, just FYI. I’m just saying.
Conflicts of Interest, which Leupagus linked above, is an ~AMAZING~ story about super ex-husbands (and the best part is that having a kid who is really smart and hyperactive actually does mean that Lex has to put his world domination plans on hold). Pru writes kids absolutely spot-on and I love everything about it. Plus the sequel kills me in the best way, I cried so much. but happy endings! It’s all fab.
Proper summary: Lex Luthor is a single dad to nine-year-old Conner. Conner is determined to track down his mother, who may or may not be Clark Kent, and also is deeply in love with Lois Lane (to his father’s horror).
Also I have to rec Reconcilable Differences by Astolat. In which Superboy gets injured and Lex steps in to fix things with his crapload of money and resources. Conner/Kon figures Lex isn’t as diabolical as he seems, even if he is a supervillain, and tries to set up him and Superman. Because it would be awesome if his dads got along. Also with a sequel, in which Kon is slow on the uptake and Tim Drake is long-suffering.
