Loved this! This story is particularly special for how you've found some true emotions hiding behind these characters. Lex is hiding his fear and his desperate wish to be saved under his arrogant and aloof manner. Clark, who cares so deeply for everyone else, hides the ugly truth that he's relieved by Lex's death. That the two of them connect at the end, that last cruel irony, is written brilliantly. Powerful super-short, so well done!
