Description:

Clark Kent and Lex Luthor meet in Smallville and find a friendship/love that will be the "stuff of legend" - but they both must face Lex's history with Bruce Wayne, and the feelings and complications that come with it. All stories in this series are primarily Clark/Lex, although there's lots of UST with Bruce/Lex.

Notes:

Shadows & Stone (overview): In this universe, Bruce Wayne, Lex Luthor, and Harry Osborn are classmates at Excelsior Prep, an exclusive all-boys boarding school in New England. The school accepts boys from Grade 5 to Grade 12, inclusive. Lex and Bruce start together in Grade 5, around the age of 9, and graduate together eight years later. Harry joins them in Grade 9, but leaves during his senior year to attend high school back in New York with his friend Peter Parker. In general, this universe follows Smallville as a baseline for time, so the meteor shower happened in 1989. Lex had just started attending school there that fall. Lex's mother dies in 1993 when he is 13 and in Grade 8.

Bruce, Lex, and Harry are all roughly the same age within a year. Clark Kent is roughly 5 years younger than Lex. Dick Grayson (Robin) is about 8 years younger than Bruce. Peter is about 2 years younger than Harry (accelerated student)

Shadows & Stone currently consists of four separate but related series:

Beginnings - how the characters met or how they made important connections during the early years at Excelsior Prep (Lex, Bruce - ages 9 to 13)

Dark Spaces - the teenage years at Excelsior Prep (Lex, Bruce, Harry Osborn - ages 13 to 19)

Smallville Stories - Clark and Lex forge a friendship of legend in Smallville. Bruce and Lex have a complicated past. (Clark/Lex, Bruce - set within Smallville canon, AU after S2 "Heat")

The Future is Ours - Clark Kent and Lex Luthor are all grown up and sharing a life in Metropolis. Clark has taken up the role of Superman (with guidance from Bruce Wayne) and has formed the JLA. Stories set after WiP "Six."

Six - Work in Progress - Novel - The story begins at the elegant party being held in New York City for Excelsior Prep, whose illustrious alumni include Bruce Wayne, Lex Luthor, and Harry Osborn. But something goes terribly wrong and six of the world's most intriguing men disappear into thin air. (Clark/Lex, Bruce/Dick, Harry/Peter). AU blending with Spider-Man (film).
