Obsessions
Lex has been in Smallville a little over a year and his secret obsession with 16-year-old Clark Kent is about to take a turn to the bizarre with the disastrous acquisition of a school ring laced with red meteorite. He finds out he's not the only one who's been harboring subconscious desires, and discovers in the process some of the other secrets Clark's been hording. And if he didn't have enough to deal with, he's being stalked. Only this time it's not a meteor mutant, but a psychotic ex-bodyguard who developed a dangerous obsession during his years on Lionel Luthor's payroll. Trying to find solid ground with Clark suddenly becomes a non-issue when he finds himself in the hands of a madman.

Never do I remember Superman ever being this entertaining and so f'ing sexy. What an erotically-thrilling, horrifically-terrifying, sweet and tender love-story. Lois Lane can stay home because Lex Luthor rocks this shit.
So-obviously first off-suspend your f'ing belief because Superman's-on-board.
And talk about ripping apart a reader but rewarding them for the bloodshed.
The beginning..is seductively clever even if at times a bit unclear, the reader clues in with relative ease with the creative content that more than compensates.
Clark Kent is our sexy-Superman as a corn-fed-man-o-hunk in a 16-year-old body living on a farm in po-dunk 'Smallville' after falling from the sky as a toddler in an unknown unidentified flying object.
Lex Luthor is the mysterious hairless -(unclear-in-beginning-but-revealed -later-in-bits-&-pieces-wtf-happened-to-his-hair)- enigmatic wealthy 21-year-old friend of Clark. He is the product of a very wealthy dysfunctional family and POS father. Clark and Lex's friendship and how it originated is a bit obscure in the beginning but later revealed through the story.
And this leads into my next point, as the writing has some obvious (but-minor-to-me) technical issues w/typos, bleed-over POV shifts, connecting-content dots, etc. But, overall this was of no negative consequence, as it was easily adjusted to, and ultimately didn't choke the story or my reading enjoyment of it.
The beginning ropes the reader in with a potent aphrodisiac of forbidden fruit and erotic temptation with an (under)age factor of a 16-year-old Clark and 21-year-old Lex. An undeniable mutual attraction is festering to an explosive-aggressive force of will of a nonconsensual variety..that soon bubbles over to a sultry boil. This soon takes on a forgiving and passionate tender turn to love. It's sinuously decadent but realistically anchored.
NOW.Pay.Attention. Approaching midway you're going to appreciate how the writer cleverly choreographed this when you're f'ing smacked dumb upside your head with a 2x4 as the story takes a very sinister-dark and brutal turn (f'ing understatement). But you'll be so glad you had that great f'ing beginning of Clark and Lex to tide your horrified ass over because the memory of their sweet passion will be the only thing capable of pulling you through this terrifyingly-sadistic-hell-fire-&-damnation. And this writer does a bang-up job arming you with some positive potent weapons to get you through it.
The writer not only rewards the reader but buffers them at the very onset for the painful road ahead.
Some personal thoughts in a dark-themed story. It is not enough for a writer to merely horrify the reader but they should delight the reader in some way as well. Reward the reader for the brutality with which you ask that they abuse their senses. Engage their positive senses as well with necessary elements for a positive dark reading journey. Throw the reader a bone for their reading investment.
It ceases to be fictional entertainment when the reader is left feeling poorly at the end, especially if there is no educational, academia purpose for this to be. I am of a strong opinion that such 'dark content' is better chosen to be studied in factual data analyses/reference educational materials for such unfortunate but necessary purposes.
To sum up, this is a lengthy story and there's more I would enjoy elaborating on but unfortunately in doing so would be giving much of the story away and so I will refrain and just suffice to say that overall (for me) it was everything a 'dark-themed' story should be.

For what starts out as a very sweet young romance, this is a very very dark story...not that much milder than Neko, except without the bestiality.

this is the most heart achingly and beautiful story I've ever read... i had to re-read immediately just so i would fully understand the type of NEED and i dare say obsession that went on in this book... i just...i just couldn't comprehend what Lex went through, my heart just kept breaking every time i read what was done to him and also Clark's amnesia, it all drove me close to freaking out.
i love this book. its characters were so well written, Lex's recovery (its something that people with PTSD goes through).. i like how the writer who ended it. it gave hope of a bright and much better future for those two.
its a MUST READ..

I don't think I would have read this, if it hadn't been written by P.L. Nunn. I'm glad I did.
It was dark, but I would expect no less from P.L. Nunn. It also had it's sweet moments. I'm glad that Lex's recovery was included in the story, and that it took time, not just POOF and he was okay.
I don't think I'm interested in jumping into any random Smallville fanfic, but if I find more written my P.L. Nunn, I'll have to read it.

Overall it was good, but certainly nothing great, not like I was hoping it would be. Story-wise, character-wise, relationship development-wise it was good. But my god man, learn how to use a comma. The typos got to me too much. Impossible to ignore at any time, at least I could easily mentally correct them and move on at first, but then I started focusing more on them the closer I got to the end and by then it was infuriating. I'm dropping a full star rating just for how much it pissed me off in the end.
