Dude, there's no way you're more insistent on happy endings than I am! Especially going by the stuff you rec! Or maybe I'm just equally insistent on happy endings and a lot more insistent on happy middles. Regardless: I'm, hm, no, I really just find the thought of any kind of Smallville future story too poignant to read except rarely. If you've got links for early Lex/Clark stuff though, I'm all for that.
