Hi Silly Sphinx,
Your story is a great blend of characters, action and relationships. The protective experienced lens of Lex's affection for the town and his young friends makes for the suspense, since 'Dorian Gray' is rather a tip-off of a villain. His willingness to expose his feelings to prevent harm to Clark is inspiring, and the heroic rush into action being shared with Clark makes for brains and brawn. Though there wasn't a lot of detail about Clark's reaction, it rang true that he would have to physically fight Dorian. I didn't even have to scoff at Lana for showing up at the end to support Clark. The sweet Chlex smut was a good first step toward both Chloe and Lex getting over their assaults.
