Hie thee over to and check out the new ML Thompson fanfic,
Without A Superman: Clark Kent\'s Quest 
It is a terrific alt- world fic with just the right amount of angst, some ML humour, an extremely well-developed A-plot, some surprises, and a unwimpy Clark who knows exactly what he wants.
It's something that we've been waiting for.
Check it out.
