Length: 35,400 words
Warnings: underage (Clark is 16), super!creepy!handsy!Lionel

Review:
After getting electrocuted while surrounded by meteor-rock infested Christmas trees, Clark and Lex find they've switched bodies.

Ah, the halcyon days of early Smallville fic, where everything was either light and fun or black as pitch. Fortunately, this is an example of the former, where Secrets Are Revealed, Lust Is Assuaged, and Friendships Are Destiny. Funny, light-hearted, well-written, and very much in character for early seasons of the show, this is a great fic for anyone who wants a piece of Smallville fluff.

Skin Deep by RivkaT (NC-17)

Title: Skin Deep by RivkaT
Fandom: Smallville
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Categories: genderswap, drama, angst, smut
Length: 27,700 words
Warnings: brief unwanted groping (not between Lex and Clark)

Review:
After Clark declines to take over the world, the cave punishes him by turning him into a woman. Ironically enough, that makes it a lot easier to give Clark exactly what he wants: a relationship with Lex.

Apparently I'm on a Smallville kick today. Another fun fic, though a bit more angsty than my last rec, with an inordinate amount of smut and a lot of Kent family angst (they still aren't thrilled about Lex). Good writing and some interesting commentary on the differences between men and women (Clark isn't quite as feminist as he thinks he is) and you have a fun read for fans of genderswap or just of good old-fashioned Clex.

Ordinary Life by Shalott and Speranza (NC-17)

Title: Ordinary Life by Shalott and Speranza
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Categories: action, drama
Length: 20,200 words
Warnings: n/a

Review:
On their first trip back to Earth, Rodney picks up a cushy consulting gig and John tails along for the free perks. Pity things don't go quite to plan.

I don't read much SGA fic these days, but I'm making my way through my old possible recs folder and came up with this fun first-time fic, full of action and humor and John in a speedo. It's a joint venture by Shalott (aka astolat) and Speranza, so you know it's well-written and the characters are vividly drawn. Mix in some some light-hearted relationship sorta-angst (seriously, I almost gave this a 'fluff' tag), John and Rodney being treated to lots of exotic and upscale goodies, and an action-packed climax and you have a light but very enjoyable and satisfying read.
