Summary
The whales are there for only a few minutes, surfacing once more and then never coming back up as the light fades to an inky black night, nothing but the ship's lights creating a halo of visibility around them. Winter clouds above, there are no stars to differentiate the sky from the sea. It's a cold, unsettling feeling, and John’s hairs are rising on the back of his neck, Alice rolling over waves he can’t even see. A speck of life dropped off the end of the world.
“Entering the crab grounds now, boys. Everybody on deck to load those pots and drop ‘em down.”
--
An au posed by the simple question: What if you took the enduring love of John and Gale and combined it with the hit 2005 show Deadliest Catch.Bookmarked by albenar

Summary
Lex doesn't know what he finds more irritating; that his nemesis who he sometimes has casual sex with assumes he has every right to thoroughly interfere with a routine targeted assassination attempt against him, or that he would probably be just as invested if it happened to almost anyone else.

Summary
“You know what they say,” Clark says, his eyes holding Lex’s mouth, “about your life flashing before your eyes right before you die?”
Clark’s thumb sinks into the inside of Lex’s lip, then skates along his bottom teeth. Fire ignites in Lex’s chest, the pain of restraining himself.
“That didn’t happen. You know what did flash before my eyes?”
Clark removes his thumb from Lex’s mouth and his other hand comes up to cup the other side of Lex’s face.
“Can you guess, Lex?”
His breath is so shallow not even a newborn could drown in it.
“I can give you a hint,” Clark says.
And then he kisses Lex.
Just a graze of his lips, the hint of his tongue, sweet as an overripe berry.
A canon divergent Smallville AU that explores what might have happened to Clark and Lex had Clark told him his secret from the beginning.
(spoiler: they still got issues)
