Beyond the Sun
Moving from the crime capital of the world, to the quiet idyllic scenery of Smallville, the last thing Annie Lockett half expects is to befriend the one person who the other children label a 'freak'. In the same respect, the last thing Clark Kent expected was to have the new comer be nice to him, and soon become the best friend he never seemed to have before. Becoming inseparable is one thing, but growing up with budding romantic feelings is another thing completely, coupled with a rather big secret about Clark that he'd much rather keep a secret.

Clark Kent's Kissing Experiment
For Elizabeth Harper, the universe has always made sense through equations and logic. She is the girl who finds order in chaos, who believes every problem has a solution. But the heart of Clark Kent-her best friend and childhood neighbor-is a chaotic variable she cannot solve. When he asks for help to win over Lana Lang, Beth agrees, disguising her own desire for Clark under the logical pretext of applying a 'scientific method' to the problem, treating their kisses as a controlled experiment. The result, however, is an explosion of data she cannot predict: primitive jealousy, buried secrets, and an attraction that defies any law of physics. It is a journey about a girl who tries to control the uncontrollable, only to discover that the most powerful-and devastating-emotions are those that defy any formula. Hope you guys have a blast reading this! Feel free to picture Superman as Tom Welling or David Corenswet-honestly, I'm not picky, they're both stupidly gorgeous.

COINCIDENCE, clark kent.
"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞!" Fiona Starling never believed in fate. She trusted logic, facts and headlines, not destiny. As a hard-nosed journalist in Metropolis, her world was grounded in truth, not fantasy. So when Superman kept showing up to save her-again and again, even when danger wasn't near- she told herself it was just a coincidence. But those lingering glances... the way his touch stayed too long... the way her heart beat faster whenever he was near- it all felt like something more. And Fiona couldn't let it go. Determined to uncover the truth, she turns to the one man who seems to know everything about Superman: the quiet, insightful reporter Clark Kent. But as she digs deeper into the mystery, Fiona begins to uncover secrets. One in particular that could rewrite everything she thought she knew about Superman... and herself. Because some coincidences aren't coincidences at all. [clark kent/superman x fem!oc] [superman]
