What a fun beginning! As other posters have already mentioned, I get the feeling Lex is being set up like a bowling pin. I look forward to finding out! More please :). Thanks.

Oh Lex, so gullible. I like having Julian be alive; there are so few fics that feature him. It will be nice to see the meeting between Lex and Chloe. Great start!
This already has me intrigued. Julian may be the nicest but he is a Luthor, gonna love to see how his plan works out!

such a great beginninng. whoa that you had that buried for a couple of years. i love that julian is alive and not a clone, or genetically modified or whatever.it is sad for lex that lionel doen't love him. I wondered how you would make chloe on the story, pleasantly surprised with her summary. now i am like kcsgirl, i wonder if all the story is nota hoax to set up chloe with lex, because julian is awfully young.
I hope like zannie that you will finish the piece for christmas or around the holidays.
There's certainly lots in store for Lex.lol And I'd say he isn't exactly blind to who his brother is. *grins*Quote:

You won't have to wait for that meeting;it's coming in Chapter 2.Quote:

Everything about this situation Julian has dragged him into is a challenge, but Lex isn't a quitter or one who would acknowledge he might not be up to a test.Quote:

You'll have to wait and see if Chloe buys it at close range.Quote:

Excellent beginning!
This is very intriguing to see Julian alive. I'm glad that he has a good relationship with Lex.
I'm impatient to see the meeting between Chloe and Lex.
I hope that your muse will inspire you soon^^.
Aw, I love such AU's so much! I'm glad to see that Lex and Julian have exactly the sort of relationship that I always imagined they would have had if Julian had lived in canon - one full of trust and fondness of each other. And I'm happy that Lionel's attemps to pit the brothers against each other did not work, even though I wouldn't be able to blame Lex if he felt more resentment toward Julian than he does in this fic. I was a little squicked out that Julian assumed the same thing Lionel did in canon - that Lex slept with all those brunettes because he was looking for his mom in them. Yikes! :eek: :grin: But Chloe is as far from Lillian as it's possible to be, in both looks and personality, so I'm interested to see what Lex's reaction to her will be like.
And Julian is pure ee-vuhl! :grin: What a plan he has concocted! Worthy of a Luthor, indeed!
A very cute beinging. I think Julian is trying to setup is older brother.
Based off of the title of this one, would I be right if I guessed that Julian was actually setting Lex up to fall for Chloe?
I love this time of year, there's nothing better than some seasonal Chlex fic and this is off to a great start. I can't wait to see what Julian is up to and how Lex gets on living with Chloe and her son.
