Unethical ~ Clark Kent

At the Daily Planet, truth is everything - but some truths are unbearable.

Elara Vance has built her career capturing honesty through a lens. Her photographs stop time, reveal what others overlook, and turn chaos into beauty. She sees the world clearly - except when it comes to Clark Kent.

Clark is warmth in human form - steady, kind, impossibly good. And that's the problem. He's the man who never misses a deadline, never lets a promise break, never stops running when someone else needs him. Especially Lois Lane. To everyone else, they're just colleagues, best friends bound by a lifetime of headlines. But to Elara, it feels like standing in a shadow that will never move.

She doesn't resent him. She can't. But loving Clark Kent feels like loving something you're never meant to have - too pure, too unreachable. And every time he leaves without explanation, every time his eyes flick to his phone mid-conversation, Elara feels the quiet ache of being almost enough.

Until Clark finds out.

When he learns what she's been hiding behind her calm smile - the loneliness, the doubt, the quiet conviction that she'll always come second - it shatters him. Because for all his strength, Clark has one fatal flaw: he's never known how to put himself first. And for the first time in his life, he wants to. He wants her.

Determined to prove that his heart belongs only to Elara, Clark begins to fight - not for the world, but for her. Every rescue, every story, every secret he's kept becomes a test of devotion. But loving Elara means learning to be human in a way Superman never has - to be vulnerable, to stay, to choose her even when the world burns for his attention.
